DOUBLE CHECK YOURSELF THAT THEY SOLD YOU THE CORRECT TIRE! The first visit, I brought a loose wheel and was an excellent experience. 5 stars! Second visit was last weekend. I brought another loose wheel. First experience was so good, I blindly trusted that the correct tire was installed. IT WAS NOT. I came back today to discuss how to resolve. I respectfully approached the first employee to discuss my issue. He was INCREDIBLY RUDE and spoke to me like I was trying to cheat them. Second employee came out and and we were able to have a professional calm conversation. I showed a picture of the bad tire I had brought in prior. He still insisted they checked and installed the correct tire so that I'd have to pay for a another tire. I decided to leave at that point primarily BECAUSE THE FIRST EMPLOYEE MADE ME FEEL LIKE A PIECE OF SHIT. Second employee said it was because his "English was not good". BULLSHIT. I'm a child of immigrants, married to an immigrant of his same ethnicity, and have immigrant family members who are small business owners. They DO NOT speak in this way. So if you want to be sold the WRONG tire, then treated like SHIT for trying to have a calm professional disscussion about THEIR MISTAKE, then this your place. Enjoy. read more

1 Star - Very Disappointing Experience I came here after getting a flat tire and decided to support this business because I wanted to support a Vietnamese-owned shop. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake. They sold me a replacement tire for nearly $200, and I later found out it was an off-brand tire instead of anything reputable. Within about a month, the tire started constantly losing air, and the ride quality became noticeably rough and unstable. What really concerned me was that the tire started developing visible bulges/bubbles on the sidewall after barely any time (see photos). That is a serious safety issue for a tire that was practically new. I came back hoping they would at least inspect it properly or honor some kind of warranty, but instead I was met with excuses and avoidance. No accountability, no real help, and no effort to make things right. I later had another tire shop inspect it and was told the tire quality was very poor. Spending nearly $200 on a tire that becomes unsafe after only a month is unacceptable. I genuinely wanted to support a local Vietnamese-owned business, but unfortunately this experience made me regret that decision. I won't be returning. read more

Went to this shop to replace a full spare tire. They replaced it and aired it up for $75. Come to find out when I had a flat that these clowns sold me a tire that had nails and screws along with cuts in the tire. Had to pay 25 to patch it at another tire shop. BEWARE. THESE Vatos are SHADY read more

Good services, good price with fast and helpful completion. Service requested work smoothly.

Owner is very rude. I called for questions, this guy literally was mad the whole time. read more

WELL SAID by another customer!!! and I quote: "Terrible place with rude owner and staff. They use cheap tires and will make it difficult for you to claim the warranty." read more

I came in with a tire going low each time I filled it, and 2 other tires needing replacement, gentlemen assisted me right away with checking for nails in my tire and even checking my 4th tires air that didn't need attention. Appreciate the urgency and care in your work, especially coming as a woman alone. read more

VIP Used New Tires - Waiting area - Tires Near Me - San Jose, California

TLDR: First, they didn't tighten my lug nuts properly, and then they went full Hulk mode and over-tightened them until some snapped right off the wheel studs. I drove off thinking everything was fine, but my car started doing the shake dance. I had to bring it back to them, and lo and behold, they hadn't tighten the lug nuts all the way. A few weeks later, I went to another shop, Shop B, to upgrade my springs. Shop B drops the bomb: the last shop cranked those lug nuts so hard that some shattered, leaving lug nut shrapnel clinging to my studs. This shop was the last one to work on my wheels. Now, I'm stuck with wheels that won't budge unless I shell out for new wheel studs. Price-wise, they're a steal, but honestly, their lack of care and professionalism is a buzzkill. You get what you pay for, and when it comes to your wheels and tires, I would not trust this shop with my life. read more

Terrible place with rude owner and staff. They use cheap tires and will make it difficult for you to claim the warranty.

My new local tire shop after moving down from Orange County. Fast, reliable and easy to reach. They had my replacement Pirelli Cinturato P7 Run Flats in within a day of ordering and aligned my car to factory specification. read more

These guys totally saved us. We are from out of town and hit an object that popped the sidewall of our tire on the Tully exit. We were told by a number of tire shops that we would not find our tire size in stock. VIP on Senter sent us over to this VIP where they had a used one with about the same amount of wear for a reasonable price. They had us in and out in about 10 minutes and we were able to still make the San Jose State football game shortly after kickoff. Both VIP tire shops were very helpful and knowledgeable today. I would not hesitate to recommend this place. read more

What kind of establishment yells at customers just because they want to pay with a Visa card? Even though there is no sign that says cash only, and they have a visa sign up. Makes no sense. The owner literally yelled at my father who was already trying to pay him. Don't come here. The owner is rude. I feel bad for the workers. read more

First time coming here. Fantastic service and friendly. I waited tops 5 minutes until someone took my car for an alignment. They do their job very quick. The price is cheap too. Only $40 dollars for my Corolla 2016 to be alignment. I will definitely come back for their services read more

Only good thing they offer is being open on a Sunday ! Purchased 2 used tires. They couldn't even rinse off one tire that had mud all on outside of tire. Didn't offer receipt. Used beat up already been used weights to balance tire, same with valve stem cap. AND both tires have been nothing but slow leak pain in the ass. read more

This place is terrible. Not only did they fail to balance my wheels and had my car shaking like no other. They scraped my wheels when mounting the tires. And they stole my tire stem valve caps. Definitely do not go here. read more

I rarely talk badly or write reviews about small businesses but the owner of this place is the rudest person I've ever met. First off his name is Joe and he tried to get loud with me over text on miscommunication error of his. Most owners would apologize or even if they still disagree try to find a solution and not yell at customers. Secondly him and his team did the service wrong on my car and I had to take it in somewhere else. If you care about your car or how an owner treats his customers or employees than find literally any other tire place in San Jose. He owns another shop close by and again his name is Joe... do not do business with him. His service and customer support is in line with how his shop looks. read more

Horrible prices and customer service. The owner sells used tires and says they're new. Used tire prices are also higher than places nearby. The people here don't care about you or your car. Things get done with little to no care, just to get you out for the next customer. Brought a set of wheels here that were new to get tires. Inspected the wheels and there isn't even a speck of dust on them, straight out the box. After getting tires put on, there were many scratches on them and the gentleman said they were already there. How? When I inspected them all when I received them and it came straight from the manufacturer... Looking at other reviews, it seems like I'm not the only one that has experienced this at VIP tire. Never coming back and giving them any of my money and also spreading the word to friends and family. (Many friends that I've spoken to have already had bad experiences with this place in the past and have yet to come back) read more

This place doesn't even want your business. I went to mount tires there and they said they couldn't mount them after trying once. Told Me to get different tires. Then when I came back with different tires , they said they still couldn't do it without even trying. They also charged me for dismounting the tire that was practically off the wheel already. They also charged me for trying to use bead seal on a wheel I had mounted here and it still leaked a lot to the point I had to pull Over at a gas station to get air. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

I took my van in for alignment. They said my tires are no good, so there would be no warranty for the alignment, but they said they still could do it. After it's done, streering wheel was still off. I asked them to fix it straight and they said no warranty, so be it!! If you want it straight, pay for another alignment!!! What a rip off! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM! That's not how you run a business! read more

I just purchased my 4th set of tires from this establishment. I have nothing bad to say about this place. I always receive the best service from on the spot quotes to tires/alignment completed in a timely manner. The professionalism of Edgar, Carlos and Jack are outstanding! Always friendly and eager to assist there customers in any situation. I also love that if you come across a nail in your tire, they will plug it and seal it or whatever and on you go! Just like Costco with no wait!!! Nothing beats that! And they have a chill lounge area that you can patiently wait as they service your vehicle. Thanks again to the wonderful staff at VIP! Customer for as long as I live in the Bay Area! read more

STAY CLEAR OF THIS DUMP!! I bought a NEW tire off them around April and yesterday while on the freeway with my family, my "new" tire literally separated from the seems. The entire center portion of my new tire peeled away. Crazy part was, the tire didn't blow up (thank god) . It looks like this "new" tire was an old tire that was altered or fixed with new center rubber. (See my pics). I than took it back to the very same people and asked them about it. Without hesitation the Asian man tells me it's not his problem. But I bought the tire off him less than a month ago?! I understand faulty tires but this is next level. Instead of providing me help HE decides to shut down and stop talking to me. literally like a child would. He tells me to leave him alone?? What kind of unprofessional business you running here Joe?? This is unbelievable . Your tire was faulty and it's not your problem? Reasoning did nothing as he acted like I didn't exist when I spoke with him. Please stay away from these Morons! These kind of business tactics WILL GET PEOPLE KILLED!! If you're going to sell tires please make sure you sell proper tires and not cheap refurbished ones. read more

Horrible costumer service. I own a shop down the street and I don't laugh at my costumers when they ask where can they wait and park their car. No eye contact either smh read more

Went in for a flat tire and they fixed it at a cheap price! No hassle in and out. Thank you guys! I appreciate it

I used to recommend this place and never will again. Sometimes all you need is a used tire and thats what i went in for. They replaced my old tire with an even worse tire which i didnt know at the time. Yesterday i found out that the used tire I received had 3 plugs and was cracking. I shouldn't have been given this terrible tire because it was dangerous. Some people care about money over people's safety and they were ok with that. Not ok!!! Dont go here, they don't care about safety read more

Great customer service and they work really fast. When I got there (easy to find) there was no one ahead of me. I was in and on the road in about 20 minutes. I had called ahead and spoke to Joe about getting 4 tires mounted. He quoted a good price and that's what I paid. I will definitely go back for the friendly customer service and drama-free work. My only issue is that they need a cleaner waiting area. Don't wear white pants...you've been warned. read more

It was my first time here since a lot of my friends recommended this place and wow! They didn't disappoint! They seriously help and they'll tell you what you really need if you're not an expert. I would highly recommend going here. read more

Today we had to get a tire for my awd rdx and the service was amazing. It was quick and the price was good. I would highly recommend this place to my friends. I was in and out in less have 5-10 min. read more

I came in to get my tire replaced. And they gave me a new tire for 50$ even though the tire originally cost 60$. They were fast,professional and friendly. The same day I bought the tire, my tire light came on. I thought maybe I received a faulty tire, I came in the morning the next day and they fixed it for free. Amazing hard working people. I'm grateful for their business. read more

I came in today looking for help on buying tires as a first time customer this corner store shit hole of a place... I was greeted by an employee with a ponytail who kicked off our conversation being very aggressive and rude. I came in with brand new rims still in the packaging, I was asking for a recommendation on tire sizing and this worker couldn't help but spit out negative comments regarding my wheels and personal preferences. He and everyone else around working there were all extremely unprofessional and left me with a very "backyard bafoonery" experience and environment. Quite literally... very extremely disappointed by my experience at this shop. DONT GO HERE.. read more

This place was an... Unusual experience. These guys SPAM the heck out of craigslist. And when I say spam, I mean every second listing is for them. It's run by a young asian guy named Joe, who is pleasant enough but has zero customer service skills. If you call up to ask if he has a particular tire in stock? 'Yeah we got it', size? 'Yeah we got it', Brand/model? 'Yeah we got it'. Go down to the store, and it's another story. The only tires in stock were off-brand Chinese and Taiwanese tires, something better not used when putting your families safety on the line. I also witnessed the staff offer another customer a 'cash, no tax' deal - Isn't that illegal? They DO however, have cheap second hand tires, if that's your sort of thing. I ended up going elsewhere to get some new, quality brand-name tires. read more

I went here as they do have good deals on new tires but if I would've known they would end up scratching all 4 of my wheels I would've never let them touch my wheels. I was going to call to talk to the owner but was told by two other customers that went here that I would be wasting my time as the owner would not do anything to fix it. Now if the owner wants to reach out to me to fix this, I have no problem taking this review down and giving them a great review. Do not get your wheels mounted here, maybe just buy the tires and go else where. Btw, I don't know how these people scratch all 4 wheels when they do this all day. Train your people better. Here are some pictures for my wheels read more

We did not have a good experience in this establishment. Workers are good and reliable but the owner is rude and no customer service. Very rude! Nowhere does it say cash only but he will not take Visa. They have a sign that says Visa accepted, but no, he wants cash for the transaction. read more

After coming to VIP Tires I haven't gone elsewhere! Joe and his team are very thorough with their work and do it in a timely manner so I can get out of there ASAP. I mean who has time to stay at the auto shop all day anyways? Joe was very helpful with getting my tired fixed multiple times and has always been attentive, diligent, and not to mention delightful. 5 stars for the great customer service and quality! **i also saw a sign that they accommodate to low income family too and to me, that speaks volumes about their business** go VIP tires! read more

Not just the worst tire shop I've been in but the worst business I think I've ever seen. I called these guys confirming they had my tire size when I only needed two of them the guy convince me to drive all the way from Palo Alto to San Jose because he made it sound like he had a stockpile of them. He told me he had ones for 45$ all the way up to 65$ when I got there he had nothing more then 2 mismatched off brand tires that he was asking $15 less than what the tire would cost brand new. I will never send my friends to this place and I definitely won't be wasting my te driving down there again. Unsafe area no where inside to hang out and wait. Just some cat piss soked couches to sit on out front. read more

They did a great job on a last minute need. Totally hooked me up with the right tires before turning in my lease. And they are honest! I highly recommend them. read more

VIP Used New Tires - New wheels for my white chick before she goes home - Tires Near Me - San Jose, California

Arguably the worst place you could ever let touch your car. Jacked my car up with four jacks and leaned the jacks against my doors, scratching the hell out of my paint. Then managed to put deep scratches in each one of my wheels. Wouldn't go here if their services were free. read more

Drove up for two tires, an alignment, and an oil change all in about 1 hour. One stop shop!

This place has served me extremely well for the past 5 years and felt I should post it. Fast service... love them!
