Express Tires and Auto Services

Had a flat on my 1 week old car, brought it in on no notice and was out the door in 10 minutes for 15 bucks. Easy and painless!

I put one star because I asked them about the engine light is on. I need information etc. I came back next day and asked Dai Thruong the desk man. He seem like he doesn’t care at all. All he do is talking talking. I kept telling him I’m deaf. But I could talk good. But he kept talking talking. I kept telling. Im sorry I can’t hear. Please write. I ask him abt engine light. He said he turn it off. I was like. What’s the code??? He said He don’t know. 15 mins later after I picked it up. Engine lights came back on. So I came back here again abt the engine light. Again. Dai the desk man doesn’t seem care enough to give me the answer what is wrong with it. He look up. He said he don’t know. Gotta take it to dealer. That’s really cause me more frustrating and give me nerves. I don’t like this place.

Awesome service. Had staple in tire – 2 holes. Called. They said could do when I got there. I arrived 15 mintues later – they started within a minute or two. Charged $ 29 + tax for inside tire repair, lifetime warranty for patch. Charged $ 10 — $ 15 LESS than 2 other Capital Hill popular locations and NO wait (other places — up to a whole day wait). I’d go back in a second.

I am writing this review as my tires are being changed. I showed up having blown a tire earlier this week, and these guys jumped right on the job. So far they have come off as incredibly direct, honest, quick, and industrious.
As a woman, you have to do your research and know what you’re going into before walking into a car shop or you can easily have the wool pulled over your eyes. I did mine and wasn’t shy about pushing back and asking questions — why that model and not the standard wheel? Why put the new tires in the back and not in the front? Each time they explained it and pulled up industry standard material to support/​explain their choices. I didn’t have to doublecheck on fees for installation, balancing, and taking my old tire off my hands — it was right up front in their quote. My tires were competitively priced and the fees were reasonable.
From the time I drove up I was immediately being cared for as a customer, and they put two guys to work within 5 minutes. Not only has the service been just what I needed on a busy day, but the guys were earnest and friendly.
I would definitely recommend to my friends for their tire needs, especially my lady friends!

I took my car here in Dec. to have my snow wheels & tires installed on my Infiniti M35. The team here are all very professional and really nice. They were fast and the quality of their work is A+. I’ve since taken my car and my wife’s car back to them for other repair services and they’ve done an outstanding job! What makes my experience even better is the honesty and fair quotes/​prices. Sam and Danny are the two gentlemen that I’ve dealt with and they’re fantastic! I recommend this shop to anyone who loves their car and wants excellent customer service, superior auto repair & tires, and fair prices.

An auto repair place that’s open on Sunday in Rainier? Impossible. Yes, these guys are open on sunday. I went in for a broken speedometer head on my Honda, and the repair price was reasonable. 2 things went wrong: 1. changing speedometer head changed my odometer reading +26k miles. 2. It broke my heater, and the speedometer was dark afterwards (no light for night time driving). I had to go back for a warranty service, after which they fixed it. Not sure if it was a 1x problem, but still, a place that’s open on sunday for emergencies is great.

I went in for a tire change. They ended up breaking a screw on my rim, then they blamed it on me for it being too tight. Then they refused to replace the screw. Prices are okay, but I’ve been to places cheaper with better tires.

When I needed tires in January, they replaced them with a very affordable set (no upsell) while I had brunch at the awesome St. Dames down the street. Then, when one went flat for a reason that probably shouldn’t have been covered by warranty, they replaced it for free, FAST. This is as good as service gets.

These guys were such honest, fair, and hard-​working people. They offered to work on my boyfriend’s car a lot quicker (20 – 30 minutes as opposed to 2+ hour wait at a major auto shop nearby) for a reasonably priced fee ($ 20 as opposed to $ 60+ at the major auto shop).
My boyfriend felt terrible as he felt like he was ripping the business off. He offered to pay more, but the guys smiled and waved the offer off. It is so refreshing to find a business that is not all about $$$ and wants to do good and honest work.
My boyfriend and I both highly highly recommend this biz, and we shall return to them whenever we need our cars serviced.

An honest and hardworking group of guys that have done me right every time no matter how busy they are. Friendly, fast service, fair prices.

These guys are lifesavers.
I blew a tire last night very late and had AAA tow me to the closest tire shop (which shall remain nameless). Too bad that place is either out of business or closed on Fridays; I left my car at the curb just outside for the night, assuming they’d be open in the morning, but I couldn’t find a working phone number and when I went down there it was still locked up.
Another call to AAA got me a recommendation to a different place (which will also remain nameless). At least they were open and had a working phone, but without even seeing my car they told me I would «probably» need to replace both front tires — not just the one with the hole in it — which would run approx $ 150 apiece and with labor and tax I was looking at about $ 400. And they needed to know immediately whether or not they needed to order those two tires… so they were basically asking me to commit to buying the second tire without even being sure I needed it. Thanks, but no thanks.
During my 2 hour wait for a tow truck, I had plenty of time to conduct a Google search for used tires in Seattle, which brought me to Express Tires and Auto Service. I gave them a call and they looked up the type of tires needed for my car, and checked to see if they had a used one in stock. They did, and told me they’d be able to fix it right away. Even though it was an hour later that my tow truck finally arrived and towed me to Express Tires, they still took me right away and had me in and out in about 30 minutes — for a grand total of $ 55. After inspecting my other tires they determined that I only needed to replace the blown one for now.
They’re quick and honest, so I would recommend them to anyone in a pinch!
