I came in to have a flat tire repaired and left with a scratch on my rim. The technician claimed the scratch was already there, but I know it wasn't--my vehicle had just been inspected at another tire shop and the rim was in perfect condition. I chose this shop because they appeared professional, but that was far from my experience. They refused to take accountability for the damage and would not offer to cover the repair. When I asked to speak with a supervisor, I was told there was no way their employees caused it. Overall, this business was unprofessional and disappointing. - Replying to your response: The video you showed me when I was there, you could not get a clear view because the technician was in the way. read more

My air pressure tire light came on yesterday and I had Google a different place to go but as I was driving I saw this place first. The guy who help me was super nice and friendly, make sure all my tires were ok. Just wanted to say thank you so much for your help :) read more

Fast, efficient, affordable. My two front tires were worn down with 1 going fully flat requiring I put on the spare. I called ahead to see if they had any used tires in the size I need and the cost difference between used vs new. At $100 less per tire I prayed they had 2 used for me by the time I got there and lucky for me they did. I pulled in and within 20min my tires were changed and I was back on the road. Nice friendly crew here. I'll recommend them to everyone! read more

I've gone here a couple times to fix my flat tires , they are very good and quick pricing is fair and they take care of you usually right away. read more

I had a flat and concerned about new tire costs. Unlike many other tire companies they fixed the flat instead of pushing a new tire! Wow...honesty and service all in one stop. I highly recommend these guys...polite, super helpful and HONEST! Keith G Torrance read more

Sergio is the man! I live down the street he always comes through with the used tires when I need them and the shop always comes in clutch when our cars need any tire maintenance whatsoever. Also most importantly they are all super friendly and way better than the guys at T & J T&J is okay but they've been jerks to me the last few times I've gone there. Shoot through, ask for Sergio or honestly any of the guys here and you'll be in good hands! I have no need to go to any of the other tire shops on prairie or Inglewood Ave! These guys are where it's at! read more

Super nice guy here named Daniel, helped me thru replacing tires before turning in my Audi Q5. Totally trust this guy. Hard to find the good guy around town these days. Very fair and highly recommend giving your business to these guys. He didn't have enough tires to make the set and he sent me to someone who would have them today, cost more but I got the 4 in the end w/ the 2 from South Bay-and used them for the install. He charged $15/tire on "other" tires (not purchased by them) and they have $3/tire disposal fee. read more

Was in the area when my tire pressure light came on in the rain. Drove past a couple of tire shops that were closed due this virus situation. Finally, I saw that South Bay Tires was open. Pulled in and was greeted by staff, who I advised of my problem. He checked all of my tires to see if there were any damages. When the check was completed, it was discovered I only needed some air. Great customer service and I will be doing business with them again in the future. read more

There was a young man working here, honestly very rare to find a guy so well nowadays. Came here 4/13/23 at around 12:30 with a tire that was flat and had a nail. The young man immediately told us the price and what the problem was. He did everything very speedy and was very attentive to his job. We left with a happy impression on the place and we believe this is the best spot for a quick fix in the area. read more

I had been coming to this place for the last 8 or so years for used tires for my older cars. No more though after today. I pull in today for service, and they have some 12 year old on the crew who they let attempt to service the car. He can't even remove the lug nut cover properly and completely scrapes the cover with a flathead screwdriver. The stupid ass owner/manager tells me I have an older car so cares about the damage! Seriously? Tells me I'm not welcome back there!? I'm apparently somehow out of line despite my vehicle taking the damage from his employee. It took a lot of patience for me not to crack him in his shit. I got pictures of him and my damaged cap. He refused to service the vehicle after the fact and I had to take it to another spot. read more

Decent service. Been to better places. Guy in charge of taking the payments is always trying to sell you tires even tho your tires might still be in decent shape he'll probably mislead you and say your tires need to be replaced asap. Besides that, the place is alright. read more

I popped my tire and happened to Drive in expecting the worst! But honestly it was a very cool and family oriented, some skinny little guy approached me his name was Sergio, he quickly took off my tire and actually showed me what the problem was, so I had peace of mind that I did need a new tire, he hooked me up with a nice thread tire for a very good Price! I am in LA but next time I will make the drive for any of the tire needs. Thanks Sergio!!! read more

My family and I have been long time customers until a month ago. I went there for two used tires around 5pm on a Saturday and waited at least 15min before the two guys who were playing cards next door came up to see what I needed. He charged me $30 each tire and then lied to me about balancing my tires. Now my car sounds like shit. My family and I will NEVER go there again read more

Excellent fast reasonable nice people fished my flat in a few minutes. They only charged $10 for a flat was fixed in 5 minutes.

Got new tires and my wheels got balanced that's bs had to bring my car to the dealer. So the tires could get the proper air and re balanced because they did a quick shitty job. Was happy till my car felt shaky and off. read more

Horrible customer service. People that came after me were served 1st. Took a while for a small job and overcharged me as well. The excuse was that is was just a mistake instead of apologizing. I will not go there again. Many other places nearby will serve you better. read more

This place was excellent I had a tire pop the night before so the next day I took my car over to get my spare set of tires put on and I was in and out in 25 minutes no hassle it cost me 48$ including balancing would defiantly go back read more

Friendly guys who were very accommodating to my busy schedule on a Saturday afternoon. I called ahead to make sure they'd still be open after 3pm. When I arrived they were efficient and professional while seperating my track wheels and tires so I could sell the wheels and reuse the tires. They did so with no scratches to the wheels and in less than 30 minutes. read more

Hello all, BEWARE. As a long time Hawthorne resident, I've been going to south bay tires for years (emergencies only) until recently i took my new car so they can swap out old wheels for my new ones. I informed the tire guys that the rims are brand new and if they can please be careful (i wasn't rude about it). i noticed they were having a little trouble with getting the tire on. all of a sudden i see 3 guys trying to get the tire on with complete disregard for what i said. after the installation was complete i inspected the rims and guess what, they scuffed them. i told the supervisor and he looked at me like if i was crazy. i told him that i informed his tire guy the the rims were brand new and to be careful. he gave me the owners contact info. After talking and showing the scuff mark to the owner, he wouldn't even give me a refund. he said and i quote " its normal for the wheels to get scratched". i was speechless at what he said. i told him that how can that be normal, then whats the point? These rims were not some cheapo brand, they are BBS gold wheels and i have a Subaru STI. If you really care about your wheels i do not recommend this place AT ALL. Only if it's an emergency flat and you're around the shop. read more

I have only gone here usually to get my flats fixed, I work in an area where there is alot of debris, and I constantly get nails in my tires! Anyway, I love this place because when I need to get a repair, I drive up, and before I even get my car in park, one of their employees comes up to my car and asks what I need help with. They immediately ask me to put my car in one of their bays and they start to repair my tire, fast fast fast!! Great service guys! read more

Went there the other day and the service was great. They helped me right away and started changing my tire. Got a used tired and the price was really good and the tire was in good condition. The staff is friendly and they know what they are doing! Great tire place. read more

Great customer service. My go to place for tire repairs. I also stop randomly to check my tire pressure. I always get quick service and the attendants are always friendly. read more

HORRIBLE PLACE STAY AWAY!! Cross threaded my lug nuts into my lug bolts and actually SAW the guy do it and asked him to fix it and the guy argued with me saying that I was lying even after I showed him. 2 of the lug studs broke when I took the lugs off and they refused to fix it. Ended up taking it somewhere else because After arguing with him I wouldn't want them touching my truck. I wish I read these reviews before taking my truck there. This place needs to be SHUT DOWN because this can be very dangerous for ppl. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE read more

SOUTH BAY TIRES ARE LIARS and WILL RIP YOU OFF! I was quoted one price and then after tires were taken off my car and off rims, quoted another price. South Bay Tires knows that you need new tire valve stems when you put on new tires but won't tell you that they charge additional for tire valve stems until after they have all the tires off your car. YOU CAN GO RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO T&J Tires and they will quote you correct, honest price and tire valve stems ARE INCLUDED with quoted price as they are at HONEST tire shops or at least correct price is given before tires are taken off your car. DO NOT GO TO SOUTH BAY TIRES! There are several other tires shops you can go to next door or within a block or two. Also, I have left at least ten messagesfor teh owner, the owner will NEVER call you back and the workers will not tell you how to get in touch with the owner. I was told by the manager that he could not refund my money because he already charged my card. Then the manager told the Automotive Bureau Representative that he would refund my money but only the owner can do that. The manager would not give the Automotive Bureau Rep any information on how to contact the owner. read more
