My wife’s VW had a flat tire. We had just purchased the vehicle at a local dealer. After all the “add-ons” they informed me we didn’t have road hazard for the tire and we needed to schedule service…stopped by here and $25 later and no wait, we were back on the road! Super helpful and friendly!

Advice is to not bring any wheels here that are worth even a little bit. Tech also started my 1 wheel dismount and mount and left me hanging mid work for an hour to do who the heck knows.

I’ve brought business here, myself, friends and family for years. I was a customer before the old shop burnt down. I’ve came to them for used tires and time and time again they’ve messed up. Everybody wants to use impact drills but when they are dead, half charged, not working right, or they are NOT CHECKING THEIR WORK. Then you have very upset customers, because my lug bolts have fell off my car. This is a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. They are not checking or tightening the lug nuts and this has happened 3 times now. I’ve gave them the benefit of the doubt every time. But then when they refuse to right their wrongs that’s frustrating. And that just shows you simply DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF YOUR CUSTOMERS, and pure laziness. Take accountability!!!! They are cheap, you get what you pay for. I’d like to add you can see what type of people these are by just looking at the reply’s. I don’t need to “slander” there’s plenty of other pissed off customers doing charity work for me! TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY, and a free service? To throw some bolts on my car. What a 5$ dollar service. That doesn’t make sense. I spent $50 on lug bolts so a free service to correct what you all DAMAGED. Look at the other reviews this has happened plenty of other times. That’s all that needs to be said. And GO SEE LLi 2 off walker springs they do better work!

Had a screw in BOTH of my back tires and I needed to get home to Atlanta, but I couldn’t find any shops still open that were willing to help me since it was almost 7:00 PM. I called to see if they could help, not feeling too confident that they would since the last 10+ calls I made were a no go. The man that answered said he closes in 10 minutes and he’d fix them if I could get there before then. Not only did they surprise me by telling me to come in, but they got me in and out in less than 5 minutes. I’ll definitely be coming back if I ever run into any issues while I’m in town!!!! Thanks guys…you’re the best!!!!

They know what they are doing, this will be our go to place for tires for now on. Enter at the back of the building, that's where they do the tires. They give you a two week warranty on your tires. They are reasonably priced, I got two tires for our 2010 Kia forte for $100 cash ( $110 if you use a card.) These are used tires but they look almost new to me. I'm very pleased with everything so I highly recommend them.

Absolutely terrible customer service. Do not spend your money here unless you want incompetent laziness. It’s so disheartening spending your hard earned money on a business who you trusted off of reviews only to be shown that they are scammers and will not deliver what they offer. DO NOT COME HERE unless you want your wheels falling off of your vehicle and for the owner to have an attitude when you state the issue you paid for and they don’t comply. This is an Absolutely disgusting business style and it’s no wonder the parking lot is always empty. Also the smell of marijuana was so pungent I had to step away while my husband spoke to the worker as my two year old was present. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I’d give 0 stars if I could. Stay away if you value your safety and or respect professional work environments. Do better.

*Professional. Fast. Courteous. Inexpensive.* Wasn't sure if I needed a plug or a patch, but could tell there was a lot of life left on the tire. After checking out the tire, they recommended a patch for $25 instead of a plug for $15 (Extremely reasonable prices especially in 2025) because of the placement of the puncture. Not once did they attempt to sell me a replacement tire, but instead assured me that the current one would still last for a while once repaired. They got to work and made it look easy. Answered all the questions I had, and had me back on the road in no time. Really can't say enough good things about this Central Tire, the employees or the service provided. Also they speak Spanish (Ellos hablan español tambien) as I overheard a Spanish speaking customer coming in. Make sure to say "Hello" to The Patch King.

Been going here for years and sent many people here as well but doubt I'll go back after last experience. Took van to have tire changed. When finished they instructed my worker to back off the lift resulting in damage to side of van. Then a couple days later the tire was so out of balance it resulted in bent hub cap and noticeable damage to tire. Reluctantly they changed the tire but denied responsibility for damage. Unfortunately, my worker didn't want to upset me so I didn't learn of the damage for a few days due to death in the family or I would have handled it.

Tire shop said open till seven had me drive 20 miles get here at 6:30. They’re standing around out front talking smoking cigarettes and said they were done for the day. All I need was a tire put on the rim It’s a bunch of kids that don’t wanna work or do their job. You need to hire better employees

Had a 5 star review written for here because of the service I got. After seeing the way Jackson treats customers (calling them names) and disrespecting their wheels, you’d be lucky to see me back in here. And If I am, it is gonna be the same guy I used last time and not the Jackson kid.

Aunt had a flat and needed a replacement. This was the only place in Knoxville that had the right kind of tire and it only took them a few minutes. The price was reasonable and the workers were friendly.

Bought these tires towards the end of April, came with a 2-week warranty. Shortly after that warranty was up, I noticed a wobble and thought it was a mechanical issue. Turns out these tires were completely dry-rotted and have to be replaced again. (The splitting happened very quickly, that one isn't even the tire with the wobble. The wrinkled one is wobbling thanks to the interior of the tire separating).

The price was decent however they work slow. They stand around and talk. Pulled up at 3pm, waited to be put in the bay until 3:40 I understand that other people are ahead and I had to wait, that is not my complain, my complain is how slow they actually work (or don’t work) HOWEVER, once I got put in the bay I sat up on the jack whole time they just stood around and talked. Extremely poor time management from the workers. ALL TO CHANGE ONE TIRE NOT ALL FOUR. Didn’t leave til 4:30 & nearly an hour sitting on the jack for one tire is quite ridiculous if you ask me.

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. Their prices are great and more importantly their staff if honest, respectful and professional. They clearly know that the way to create return customers who recommend them is through integrity. I'll never go anywhere else for tires and I recommend them to everyone I know

Went here a lil over a week ago - & I thought he had took care of me I really was so appreciative even gave him a couple dollars for a tip. Immediately noticed the day after a grinding sound under my passenger floorboard. I have it at a shop rn and they told me this place sold me a used tire that is over 40 years old. This may be exactly what’s wrong with my car rn.. will be finding out very soon. I do have the warranty but not willing to go swap out a bad one for another bad one. Really love my $50 back bit I’m sure that’s not how it works.
