Got a quote on getting four new tires on my car. I wanted good tires not the cheap ones. They quoted me $1300 including installation. I don't even know why I bothered looking elsewhere. K&J tires was less than $900 for the exact same tires including installation.

Great ,fast ,service, good tires for large trucks,tires for cars, I have to say any commercial or personal vehicles . Better than firestone and Goodyear combined.

I always try to support local businesses (and avoid chains like lex brodies)… so we chose here. My wife took our truck to get a slow leak patched and for a tire rotation. Both were done, but somehow the guys raised the air in all tires well above the door number. I had to sit in the pouring rain at home and lower the tire pressure. Do they have some preset number or got the high school kid filling tires? Read inside driver side door number for psi and set it to that. 4 psi over that? Going to make my tires wear more unevenly and make the ride not ideal. Will not be going back.

I came here about 5 years and had a bad experience, the manager was very rude and the process felt rushed. I wanted to give this place another chance and I’m happy I did. I needed new tires for my other vehicle, I spoke to a guy name Keanu over the phone. He helped me set up an appointment, got me in right away and was very friendly. When I got there it was very busy, however he was the one to greet me, was very efficient, and even gave me his direct number in case I had any issues. When he told me he was the new manager it made sense why this place operates the way it does. I definitely will be back, and not to mention he was very good looking!

Our car needed a set of tires, and on New Year’s Eve they were able to squeeze us in last minute with great service and a good price. Then today when I had a valve stem issue on one wheel they fixed it in no time. Great shop great service.
