Gaby’s Tire Shop

Need some tires? Looking for a deal? Flexible on tire brand? Then you may want to hit this place up. You can call ahead and check to see if they have your size or just pull into their lot. These guys have a nice little business going. Cars are constantly coming in an out and these guys hustle. Although only 1 or 2 of them habla ingles. So if you don’t speak spanish, or at least spanglish, keep that in mind when you roll up on University.
Two experiences here:
1. Went with a buddy who needed tires for his 740. They didn’t have the exact size but it was close enough. They were used but were Michelins and looked like they had maybe 7k miles on them. $ 140 for all four — balanced and mounted. They were slightly low profile and looked good. The car drove great afterward — no shimmies or vibrations.
2. My wife needed low-​pros for her Saab. She spent $ 450 on a set 35k miles ago at Discount Tire. So we checked out Gabby’s to see what they had. Unfortunately, they didn’t have her tire size in anything used that was decent. I guess Saab has a funky tire size. Anyway, the only used ones they had were different brands and had a fair amount of wear on them. But they did have a set of brand new performance Goodyears that sell for $ 150 per on
. The dude at Gabby’s charged me $ 300 for the set. And the wife loves the way they feel and grip. So if she’s happy, I’m happy.
I’m only deducting .75 Star (I rounded down) because there isn’t much of a selection. You take what you can get here. But both of my experiences were really good. I won’t even consider
, Discount Tire, Firestone, Costco, etc. until I check this place first. Oh, and there’s a bitchin’ mexican joint across the street — Super Cocina. It’s a perfect way to kill 30 minutes while Gabby’s puts your car’s new shoes on.
