Excellent and quick service! Brought my car in to replace a busted tire and they took care of it in no time.

I just went here for something other than a tire repair, and I have to say they are pretty solid. I went to A&A and because my car started constantly stalling. I ended up needing a idle air control valve replacement. I am an artist and I can't afford to go to a fancy-pants shop that will overcharge me for a bunch of BS. Also, I know a tiny bit about cars, so I can usually smell when I am being sold something I don't need. This is not your big pretty shop with a computer system that spams you and that has a waiting lounge with netflix and 5 flavors of coffee, and a professional salesperson who earns a commission working the front desk. it is a simple old school garage with few mechanics that do there best to get the work done and give you a decent price. It is a good shop for those who prefer less frills and a less salesy approach and save a little money. One thing to consider, that they could improve, is that they only do tires on the weekends, the repair shop is only m-f. good luck out there!

Avoid this place at all costs. Regardless of what is discussed they will ignore your instructions and do unapproved work on the vehicle including areas that they have been specifically instructed not to work on. They won't tell you this in advance or provide any kind of estimate for approval and will simply do whatever work they want and then stick you with the bill.

I can recommend A & A for basic tire services (tire purchase, mounting and balancing) and reasonable prices. Ali get me in quickly and was a straightforward person to deal with. He's not equipped to do wheel alignments however, so you'll have to go elsewhere for that.

The best tire service in town. I brought my own tires and called the day before to schedule an appointment. You would think: tires is an easy job, no big deal. Well, yes and no. I had a slow leak in one of the wheels, and that was NOT the tire, but couldn't tell if it was the valve, or a dent in the rim... Last two tire changes I told the service people (in two other places) about it, and they did absolutely NOTHING about it. These guys took the time to soak that wheel and find that it was actually the valve, and replaced it. BTW, that was the valve that was put in some years ago by guys at Midas who messed up a few other things... long story. Anyways, they were super nice, I had a nice chat, and at the end, they actually used a torque wrench to torque the lugs, instead of hammering the hell out of them like so many other places. Finally: they charged me half the price of what a place across the street quoted me. No-brainer. Next time I need some work done, I'll be back at that shop.

We had a bit of a more difficult situation where we only needed to fill tires but it was on a Ford Transit with inaccessible valves. They put a lot of effort into helping solve the problem when many others just would say “we don’t do that” and the price was incredibly reasonable. Thank you!

DO NOT TRUST THESE FAKE REVIEWS. Totally scammed by this place. Went for oil change. My car’s low oil light came on after 2.5k miles. There is no oil leak. (Oil change should last 7.5k miles.) They didn’t top off with the correct amount of oil. They replaced glove compartment wrong after trying to overcharge for the air filter, so it doesn’t open right. They didn’t check tire pressure or fill tires, which is required by law in CA. I only learned that later after my tires were low. I’ve never had such shady service.

On Tuesday, December 6, my car needed a diagnostic on such short notice because we are from out-of-town and the car was not safe to drive. Owner was willing to stay for a brief period of time after closing hours so we could safely hand off the vehicle and the car keys to him as it was getting late and the car needed to be towed. Great response time and availability were noted as I spoke over the phone multiple times before he received the vehicle and also afterward. Thank you, Ali and the repair shop team!

Better than the best. Kind, helpful, trustworthy and efficient experiences every time. They look out for you. Went in once because tire pressure gage continued to flash after filling tires, they pointed out I needed new rotors, break pads and rear wheels. Suggested cheaper tires w/o name brand price to save a few pennies too. Thanks Keith and Ali!

One of the best experiences I had at an auto shop. Ali is wonderful and patient answering all the questions I had. The mechanic (I forgot his name, but he's an older Mexican man) was amazing! He got a jump on the old bus I brought in and skillfully serviced it in a transparent way. He was also so kind to explain things he did and things he recommends doing in future.

The service is pretty quick I was going to a mechanic for abount an year and every time i need to left my car for about an hour but here they did it pretty quick and the prices are pretty reasonable in comparison to other auto repair and jiffy lube, oil changers and all of them

Best experience under new management. Tires prices are the best in the whole San Pablo no ome can compete their price. Oil change prices are lowest in the area.

We got a flat on 880 north on Saturday. After changing to the little spare tire I got off the freeway and drove around Oakland looking for somewhere to fix the regular tire since I don't like driving on the little spare too long. They were just locking up but they fixed it anyway and changed it back to on the car. They even put the spare back where it goes so all the tools and stuff fit right. Thanks guys.

I needed to get a new tire and spent two hours sitting at Firestone on Broadway while the Millenial Staff had coffee checked their phones and basically ignored me even though I was the only customer there. Finally they said they didn't have the tire because the person I made the appointment with put the wrong info in the computer which they could have realized immediately if the staff there was actually working. They said to leave and they would get another tire and contact me later that day they never did I finally drove there and they said they couldn't find the tire. I left and went to AAA tire on San Pablo Ave. They replaced the tire in ten minutes for HALF of what Firestone was going to charge me. They just made a customer for life. Don't waste your time with Firestone on Broadway save your time and money and check out AAA on San Pablo. You won't regret it.

Very efficient and helpful. We ran into a tire issue and Sakee gave us a detailed diagnosis and helped us resolve it immediately! The price is decent, strongly recommended to other folks!
