Came here for wheel alignment. Carlos was super nice and professional. I can tell this place gets super busy, but Carlos makes sure everything is done quickly and efficiently. I was in and out in under an hour. He even took me back to show me the exact alignment measurements so I could see it before he finished. I definitely recommend this place. Reasonable prices too.

My hero. My absolute hero. Oh my god. New tire got a nail 3 days after installation. This absolute angel of a human being patched it after FOUR OTHER SHOPS refused.Dude didnt even hesitate, just flew in, pumped the car up and had the tire off in 30 seconds. $25TWENTY FIVE BUCKS to avoid replacing two tires for another $300.

Awful experience at this mechanic shop wanted to get my brakes fixed, he didnt fix it right it started making noises and when I tried to bring it back he refused to fix it. He doesn’t know how to install brake pads properly. I would not refer this mechanic to nobody.

Came in, they immediately helped me out . They know what they are doing, very professional. I came in almost closing time and they still managed to help me fix my popped tire. He explained me the difference between a plug and a patch . Most places charge cheap because they do a Mickey Mouse . But here they will really patch it up for you.Most places close really early . But here they are willing to stay open until 7 pm . This really young guy was really helpful and was very skilled and professional at what he was doing ! Will recommend this place absolutely

The mechanic here is knowledgeable and patient. I took my tire there for patching; however, the tire bead was damaged, so they couldnt help. He provided me with some resources so I can get a used tire with a cheaper price!

These guys have great customer service. As fast as possible, pleasant and reasonable prices. They are honest. One time I needed a new tire but I let them know I was low on cash. They hooked me up with a tire that still had some tread for the time being at a super low price. They also have a pet dog that is friendly too 😊 they will get you back on the road!

It has been a long time since I found an efficient, no nonsense, real technical profesional who trully knows and clearly shows you exactly what is needed to fix your vehicle. Carlos showed me the alignment issues in his alignment computer and searched for part solutions on the web, showed the after market parts needed to obtain true alignment on rear and front of the independent suspension on my Mitsubishi Outlander. He pointed out that a curve was probably hit and I recalled the previous owner did. He then told me he would align the best he could for now, to get the parts and he would install at reasonable quoted price and realign again no charge.What a pleasure, he has got me as a customer life.

Carlos is amazing. Took my CRV there to look on of the tires and found a rusty nail and patched it up and inflated the rest of the tires to all the tire pressure too. Love that Carlos is so cool and a great personality and also that he is working during this pandemic! He worked on my Acura TL’s alignment a few years ago and I haven’t had to an alignment on it ever since I went to see Carlos! I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thank you Carlos!

I took my 2007 Honda Civic to the dealer, to have my brakes check, and they give me an estimate of $230.00 to do my front brakes, turn rotors and change the brake pads on front, i thought that was expensive, comment this to a friend and he suggested, that i take it to EL TAPATIO TIRES, he told me that they are very reliable place, since he knows them, that he has been taken hes car for repair for many years,so i decided to try, so they did my front brakes and turn rotors, and installed original HONDA brake pads, and it only cost me $150.00, they also recommend the ALIGNMENT and i explain to me why, i can see that my tires were getting uneven wear, so i had it done as well, and they did a four wheel alignment for only $65.00, the dealer price for this, $110.00 so they have very good prices an quality workman ship they are really nice, and they had me out of there in one hour and 30 min, this guys are good, thanks Carlos and Junior, for taken care of my car, i strongly recommend this place.
