The service here is awesome. The tires needed were a special order and they came same day. I would definitely recommend coming here for all your tire needs.

I am very happy with my visit. I needed a tire and I stopped by right before they closed and they helped me. I appreciate these gentlemen I'll definitely be back soon for another tire. 👏

You may be able to scrape a deal here, but be wary of this place. Here's my story. I brought my car for an alignment midday Monday after calling ahead and being told to "just bring it by". Sounded great, especially with short notice. When I got there they had several vehicles waiting for tires and wouldnt be able to get to it right away. Fair enough, I thought, and left the keys. I also specifically asked for a before and after report, as is typical for alignments (this will become relevant later). Rather than rush them I said take as long as you need. The next day I stopped by in the afternoon hopeful that the work was done, but I was given an excuse for why it hadnt been gotten to yet (he hadnt come in until 2pm that day...) But fine, I did say take as long as you need and we hadnt agreed on a completion date. Another entire day went by without any word. Now I started to get worried. I called the next morning and was told that the work was done and he just forgot to call me. Sounded like bs to me, but fine. I headed over and thats where the issues really started.. I asked how the alignment went and what the measurements were before and after. Jassi says it was his brother who did the work and he doesnt know. I ask for the report, but he says the printer is broken. He assures me verbally that the work was done and that if I have any issues I can just bring it back and they will take care of it. Feeling reassured, I paid. Before I left the parking lot I looked at the adjustments and noticed it didnt look like they had been moved. I go back in and say I want the report to be able to trust the work. Jassi says I can leave the keys again and his brother will take another look, but can't give an estimate of when that will happen or even when his brother will be in, citing family illness as the reason. At that point I felt he cant be trusted. I asked for a refund which was charged back to my card (without a hassle). On my way to Auto Innovations I saw that my steering wheel was about 5 degrees off to the right. The Auto Innovations tech also noticed one of my lug nuts was missing. All lug nuts were present when the car was dropped off. I've posted a photo of the alignment before and after from Auto Innovations, notice how far off the before measurements are. The car was driven directly from A1 to Auto Innovations. To be fair, Jassi was apologetic and sounded understanding when I came back. He did refund my money without dispute, and was also willing to pay for a replacement OEM lugnut. +1 star for his willingness to try to resolve the situation. What I would like to see in the future is an accountability of the business as a whole. The responsibility for a mistake by one service person is shared across the entire business. It isnt acceptable to say "my brother did the work so I dont know anything about it" or "my brother told me it was done and that's why I thought it was done, sorry about that"

I visited this place and got all new rims and tires for my car and got it after couple of days . It was very nice and I liked it and the price was definitely the best . Staff was very friendly and “Happy” the owner was very cooperative and he also helped me with his loaner rims for one week without any charge . Must recommend this place . A must visit for any car tire or oil changes service very quick and friendly. Thnks a lot once again

They asked for $180 to replace two 15-inch tires on a Prius. I got it done at Firestone service for $53. Avoid them.

Recently had some work done to my lifted 2005 Silverado 4x4. The people are very friendly. The owner worked with me in diagnosing the combination of issues I was having. Extremely fair pricing. I even had a conversation with a few other mechanics friends of mine. They too thought I got an excellent deal for the amount of work done.

This shop is incredible! After hitting a pothole and getting a flat, they gave me a great price on new tires and even fixed a few things for me. The next day, I hit another pothole, and my new tire went flat. Even though they were closed, the owner stayed late to replace it and make sure I was safe for my two-hour drive home. Their kindness, professionalism, and exceptional service are unmatched. Highly recommend! Amazing customer service!!

The owner Happy provides exceptional service & runs the shop like a professional. He’s very nice & will never try to overcharge you. In fact he’ll tell you the lowest pricing possible & be completely honest with you in every way. I recommend getting your tires, wheels, & suspension work done here if you like quicker, reasonably priced services. Consuela is also an extremely nice desk attendant there & there employees that work on the cars directly are very professional & will actually communicate with you while they work on your car to keep you updated so there are no surprises in pricing later on.

No nonsense, no upselling, straight-up knowledgeable folks. Replaced my tires with the same exact ones that came with my Tesla. Had them in-stock, installed with an hour.

I had a fantastic experience getting my tires installed here. The team was fast, professional, and very knowledgeable. They walked me through my options, helped me pick the right set of tires for my vehicle and driving needs, and got everything installed quickly and efficiently. What I appreciated most was their transparency—no upselling, just honest recommendations. The waiting area was clean and comfortable, and they finished right on time. Highly recommend this shop if you’re looking for quality tire service and top-notch customer care.

Owner and staff are Fair and Trustworthy. I came by a few weeks ago to purchase used tires for my mom's Rav 4, my family has all come here to get used tires in the past .After I came by to bring my own car for an alignment/tire rotation, as I thought I needed this. Instead of just doing the service and taking my money the owner suggested that this would not solve the way my tires were wearing (tires have cost me $1k). He recommended to just replace my worn shocks, as I suspected previously. Thank you for the honesty! I will be back once I get this replaced!! Highly recommend this place!

Very bad experience with that new and cunning technician on tire patch I told front desk I need a tire patch, and front desk lady was very knowledgeable and told technician what I need in front of me. When she left, that new technician start to play boss. “What’s the problem?” I was like huh? She just told you. And the young guy said, yeah but I’m the mechanic so you have to tell me again. So I told him. He tried to take out the tire but he has no idea how bolt lock work and where to find the driver for unlocked bolts. His supervisor found it in a second. He was able to take out to tire and do the patch in 30 seconds. I went to front desk and paid 30 dollars. I was ready to go, that same new young “mechanic” technician stopped me and asked to give him 5 dollars because he checked my tires. I think you need to get rid of him.

I had a fantastic experience at A1 Tires! I initially called to check availability, and they responded quickly and told me they accept walk-ins, which was very convenient. When I arrived, the owner, Happy, personally came out to review my situation. He quickly diagnosed the problem and offered honest alternatives instead of just pushing the most expensive option. In my case, I had another tire that he was able to repair, and he charged me half the price of what other shops quoted over the phone! The whole team is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares about doing quality work. They spent about an hour thoroughly checking everything on my vehicle. Happy also recommended a wheel alignment, and since it was late in the day, he kindly scheduled me for an early morning appointment the next day. Besides the excellent service, the facility itself is impressive—very clean and well-maintained. Everyone there is friendly and happy to answer questions. Highly recommended if you need honest, high-quality tire service in Santa Clara!
