Dorchester Tire Service

Good service, I went here for car inspection and it was quick.
My car doesn’t have a front license plate bracket so they suggested to go the showroom instead of saying they will fix it for some cost. So I went to showroom they fixed it and I came back here for the inspection.

I discovered that my tire was completely flat on Friday evening. Most places are closed on Saturdays. Not Dorchester Tire Service! I called them early Saturday morning and John assured me that they could take care of it. Sure enough, in about 20 minutes, they fixed the tire and made sure that the pressures on all the others were okay. Most importantly, they were extremely kind. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful place like this here in Boston. Car troubles are always a worry, but Dorchester Tire Service makes all those worries disappear! Thank you to all that work there.

This place has always done right by me. I managed to get a screw in one of my (already brand new) tires, and hauled the Jeep over to see these guys. They ordered me a new tire at a fraction of what I was expecting it to cost, and said it would be in house in a few days, and said that I was fine to drive with the screw in there. This was on a Saturday, and it came on a Monday (holiday for most). They still called me and ensured that they could put it on at my convenience. So I roll in on Thursday morning for them to strap the new baby on. Lo and behold, another one of my (still new) tires is flatter than flat. Somehow I managed to bend the inside rim so air was being let out. So they let me order a new rim, have it shipped there, and then mounted the old tire on the new rim a few days later, and I was good to go.
Three trips, two parts, one great looking Jeep and zero judgment.
A while back even before they helped me, I had heard these guys were good so when a friend of mine needed new tires for her ride, we sent it over here. A+ then, A+ now.
Everyone is super nice and knowledgeable. Trustworthy in and out!

Had a tire leaking for a while and first went to a different shop and was told need to book an appointment for a week later just to check the problem. Then I came here without an appointment and was able to get it fixed in less than half an hour — turned out just need to get a nail out!

This shop takes such good care of its customers. I come here any time I need any work done on my car (new tires, oil change, etc), and the service is always fast, reasonably priced, and delivered with a good attitude.
Most recently I brought my car here for my first MA inspection sticker. If you’ve ever registered a car from out of state, you’ll know how much of a headache it can be. At first my car wasn’t going to pass because part of my bumper was sticking out from a street parking hit and run incident. Instead of slap a fail sticker on, John had me come out to take a look at what one of the guys, Danny Rodriguez, was able to do… He literally fixed up my bumper in order that the car would pass inspection. I thought I was going to have to take it to a body shop and drop hundreds to get it in passable shape. They did not even charge me extra for this (but I definitely tipped).
This is a place that really values its customers and goes above and beyond. Best shop in the Boston area.

Excellent service, went in for a flat repair and left w/​4 new tires in under 90 minutes. Honest company

Good service. Went in for tires and an oil change and I was done in less than an hour. I would recommend to anyone looking for fast service to go here.
Everyone was friendly and the hour flew by waiting. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Ashmont Tire after all these years has merged with an auto place located down the road on Dot. Ave. VERY … VERY Disappointed !!! after being a loyal customer and going to Ashmont at least once a year for 12 yrs I was VERY unhappy with this new guy from down the road who was pushy & obnoxious.
Time to find a new mechanic with better references!

The mechanic who worked on my car is great but the new partner fro dorchester tire servicer, who is obviously educated and articulate is curt & condescending who needs a crash course on «how to win friends &influence people» = POOR customer skills. He’s like a used car salesman pushing things on you! Ashmont was never like this, Mike the owner was always an honest businessman who was polite yet forthright. His new partner Red Flag in the trust department! This prior comment was not just me, during the time I was there I overheard 2 other customers questioning all the stuff he was trying to get them to do to their vehicle and questioning the prices… never saw that happen there before.

Just because I had a mediocre experience with this place doesn’t meant they aren’t great at what they do and that I’ll leave them a bad review and 1 star. I just needed my back brakes/​roters replaced and was quoted at around $ 400 for my Honda Accord… For that price you would expect I had a Mercedes Benz. They were extremely nice, funny and courteous enough to drop me off at the train station right after I dropped off my car. I politely declined and the next morning just took my car down the street to my old favorite; Columbia Road Gulf. I didn’t initially go to them because they were further away from my house. But they fixed everything for $ 269!!! There is a reason why they have a 5star rating on Unilocal.That’s almost impossible considering how many people bitch and moan on this forum over nothing. I might be back for other services though just because you guys were nice. That goes a long way. Just not for my brakes! ;)

I usually don’t write reviews but this is very well deserved. I was leaving for work and noticed a nail in my tire. New to the area, I had no idea who to call. I went online and found Dorchester Tire and made the right call! I had my car towed to the shop and I was greeted immediately. The men behind the counter love to tell jokes, making a normally stressful experience a pleasant one. I was in and out in a matter of 20 minutes! They had my tire in stock, worked on my car immediately, and thanked me for coming in. Prices were extremely reasonable. They’ve definitely earned a new regular customer! Thank you guys!

If I could give Dorchester Tire Service more stars, I absolutely would. So very impressed with the service that I received from them today. My right front tire has been going flat for a few weeks. Filling it up every time I wanted to drive the car was getting a little annoying — so I decided to get it fixed.
11÷5÷15 about 9am, I called and asked if they could take a look at the tire. Greg told me to come down anytime — no appointment necessary — and they would track down the problem.
Got there about 9:45am. As promised, they took my info, had the car in the garage in about 10 minutes and fixed in about 15 more. There was a nail in the tire.
You need to understand that I’m no mechanic. Like at all… They could have told me that they couldn’t fix the tire and I’d have to replace it, if not all four of them… it wasn’t like I was going to be able to question them if they had.
$ 25 to fix the tire. Yup. $ 25…
So thank you to Dorchester Tire Service for their honesty, excellent service, and friendly staff. I’ll be back whenever possible.

They are fantastic. They are welcoming and get the job done efficiently. They are easy to talk to and give you updates. I really like the customer service and they never push you away even if you come in at the end of the day.

Seemed like I was at Ashmont Tire all the time last year when for some reason my neighbors decided to start leaving all their loose nails and screws on the street. I went there because of the great reviews, and I kept going back because they were so gracious to keep repairing my terrible tires instead of upselling me to decent ones that would’ve cost way more than the $ 15 – 20 per visit I was paying for repairs. Everyone is always extremely courteous and informative and I’ve never had to wait too long even though I always roll in on a Saturday morning without an appointment. Definitely recommend these guys.

Courteous and honest.
I have been to Ashmont tire only once but I am very satisfied with the experience. Although I am not hoping to replace another tire anytime soon, I will definitely go back to them whenever I need help on tire service.
Owning my car for only a week, I carelessly scratched the front right tire against a sharp concrete. The rubber of the tire was cut deeply that one could see the mesh underneath the rubber. The tire had to be replaced.
Before bringing my car to the shop, I called a few tire-​shops in the neighborhood to ask about the price range for a bridgestone whatever size whatever model tire. When I got to Ashmont tire, the boss told me that he received a call from one of the other tire-​shops in the neighborhood, asking him to bring up the price in order to match the quote this other tire-​shop quoted me over the phone. He said that he and his shop would never do this kind of thing. I liked his honesty and I had a very good first impression of them.
There were 3 mechanics in the shop. Danny, one of the mechanics, was assigned to help me, switching the front left wheel to front right, and put a new tire to front left. He also replaced a dysfunctional valve part of my spare tire. Danny did a wonderful job.
They can be busy, especially weekends, and everyone wants her/​his tires being fixed right away, but the truth is that you have to let them finish their jobs with previous customers before spending the same good quality of time on your tires. If you have the money and do not have the time, please go to somewhere else. If you want the job done professionally for a reasonable price, go to Ashmont tire.

Excellent service — Alan and Gary could have been nicer, the service was outstanding, they got me in and out after a flat in 20 minutes. Couldn’t be happier!!! Keep up the good work !!!

I have been using Ashmont Tire for years for my business and for my self. I am the owner of a local flower shop. They are very honest and I trust there work. Also there Tire prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend them and there services.

Great service, good prices and tires changed in a flash. Thanks to Greg for helping me out.

Came here because of the last review from Joe P. Also had a large screw in my tire which was worked on right away when I arrived (at opening time, 8 am) and fixed in 30 min. Everybody was very nice. There was a delay in getting the tire off because I couldn’t find my wheel lock but otherwise the repair went smoothly. Cost: $ 25.

After hitting a pothole and getting a flat, I was happy to find Dorchester Tire just a few minutes from my hotel. I was even happier with the way I was treated — I was shown the gouge in my tire, explained why patches can’t be done on the side wall of a tire, and then a matching replacement was found, ordered, received and put on my car all in the same day. JR and the rest of the staff treated me very kindly, answered all my questions and I left feeling well taken care of.
It is always hard when your car breaks down and you know nothing about cars. I couldn’t be happier with Dorchester Tire for their professionalism, understanding, and overall great care and attention.

I was in search of a tire used and they came up with a good year tire brand-​new and unbelievably low price put it on within 10 minutes and I was out the door these men are fantastic I would recommend them to anyone

Was here about a month ago and these guys were so helpful! They realized that the tire I had was almost new. (6weeks old) they were able to get it replaced for free even tho we didn’t buy the tire from them the manufacturer has a 12 month road hazard insurance. So got the new tire and only had to pay for them to put the tire on. I feel like they went above and beyond for me. Now I have another flat and while waiting for AAA to come put the spare on I figured it was te to leave my review. See you guys soon!

I had a screw in my tire. Friends recommended this place, so I went and they fixed it within a half hour, and they only charged me $ 15! I’ll be back!

Wish there was an option to leave no stars at all.
First off, I decided to go to them because I was referred by my boyfriend’s brother who goes there often for his bmw. I was quoted originally at now herb chambers to remove sensors off my old rims and onto my newer rims currently on the car for $ 60/​tire. I decided to call for a quote here instead to see if I can get a better deal.
I called to ask if sensors could be put onto my aftermarket rims since the last tire place didn’t bother removing them off of my stock rims (that’s a whole nother story though). The person I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and enthusiastic. He asked what year and model my car was and quoted me $ 20/​tire with confidence. I told him I’ll stop by possibly the next day or some time that week.
I came in today, lugging all of my old rims inside the car to get the sensors placed on my wheels on my car. The man appeared to be the manager, older white man wearing a flannel and not the typical uniform. He appeared to be friendly commenting how awesome the color of my car was. Once I told him I called a few days ago and updated him with what I was told, he turned nasty and so rude. It was unbelievable. There was no way I made any gesture or tone to make it seem as though I was arguing in any way, yet he kept insisting on raising his voice saying «You’ve got to be kidding me? Good luck finding a place that would do it for that cheap! There’s no way we can do it for $ 20?! Yeah maybe 15″ rims, not for your bmw!» He was just incredibly rude… I spoke to him calm and was trying to tell him what I was told over the phone. He did not even let me speak and continued raising his voice…
I can’t even believe the experience I had. Even if he couldn’t do it for the price I was told, he should have communicated in a different manner and not in a rude sarcastic way that pretty much made me feel stupid for even going there to begin with. His worker was standing beside us the whole time. As the manager walks away he shook his head as if embarrassed on his behalf for how unnecessary he spoke to us…
Overall, I would never ever go back again. At least while that guy was working. Save your time and money and find some place that will treat you like customers and not a joke.

These guys are perfect! I had a tire that was consistently losing air. They took me in, found the issue (wheel corrosion) right away. They fixed it and got me on my way in less than 20 minutes. Best service ever. I will be back to get the rest of my tires done (I drive a 2008 — preventive maintenance). Thank you Ashmont, YOU ROCK!!!

Awesome service! These guys are really honest and will not make you spend unnecessary money. It’s rare to find an auto service that will not try and charge you extra money. If you need tire or brake service go see RJ! He is awesome!!!

I always get my tires here because they have the best deals. Even after other companies say get the fourth tire free or free alignment, these guys still beat their prices. I recently got new tires on a 2014 ford transit connect (I drive a lot for work, already 40k miles) with a 20% tread life warranty on them. I wasn’t paying attention parking, and I slammed a curb hard, popping one of the tires. I explained to them that I hit a curb and they said it’s still covered. Called them around 10 am today and they said to bring it in after 12, and they won’t take a dime from me.
Also, I had an 07 charger years ago that I needed new tires for. I called ahead to town fair tire on the quincy/​Braintree border and asked them how long was the wait. They said 1 hour. I got there around 10 am and they told me the cheapest tires they had in stock were $ 800 installed. I didn’t want to but I agreed and paid it. After a few hours I asked them what was taking so long. They said they had to special order my tires and they would be in any minute. I was mad they didn’t tell me about this so I called around. Ashmont tire quoted me new tires installed for less than half that price. I demanded my car and money back from town fair and they refused to give me my keys. The manager ordered a tech to pull my car in a bay and take the wheels off, telling me it’s so I could get faster service when the tires arrived. They refunded most of my money to match ashmont tires price, but I refused service and they still forced me to buy from them because I already paid. I ended up being there all day, until after they closed, I think it was around 630 when I finally left. As I drove off one of the tires was making a strange noise. They said it was a problem that the car already had and they had to close. I had to bring it in the next day and they admitted they installed it wrong and fixed it.
Long story short:
DO — Go to ashmont tire
DO NOT — go to town fair tire
