I recently found a giant bolt in one of my tires. I needed it fixed quickly to be able to make a long drive the next day in the rain. I called Greg at Tire Choice and he told me I could come in right away. His team had me in and out in half an hour. Everyone I interacted with was super nice and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

Great service! Very professional and friendly. Greg took me in without an appointment for a tire patch repair. Great price. Got a really good quote for tires for next time. Expect to be there again.

Great shop! They got me the Tires I wanted from Tire Rack, plus an oil change and power steering fluid change all done the same day I called them! Much faster/better service than Costco or the other local shop I used to go to. Via Tire rack you get a much better selection than Costco offers for tires, and with these folks you don't need to wait days or weeks to get them installed. The one thing I wasn't happy about was being charged for an alignment without telling me first (consider this review a rounded up 4.5). The before and after measurements showed I didn't need one, but the other local shop told me it was mandatory to Perhaps they all do it to validate the 75,000 mile warrantee? IDK. I'm happy. It drives great. Great service!

About 6 months ago I had a huge bolt in my tire that was not reparable. I contacted Greg at Tire Choice and they luckily had one tire available that matched my car and they were able to replace the tire while I waited. Flash forward to this week when I unluckily got another bolt in the same tire that I just got replaced! Given that I got great service last time I went back to Greg and he said they could repair it. Much to my surprise when I went back to pick up Greg did not charge me for the repair! Super thanks to Greg and the team for turning my misfortune into a ray of sunshine this rainy weekend! Will be coming back in the future for sure!

I purchased new tires a year or two ago at the Tire Choice and was very happy with the service and tires. This morning, I discovered a slow leak in my rear tire and made an appointment. Greg Allen, the Store Manager was friendly and helpful. Quick and courteous service, only took 25 minutes to fix.

We had our car with a flat tire towed here after hours. The next morning I phoned and spoke with Greg, who told me that it would probably be the next day before they could get to my car, which was fine with me. I went to pick it up the next day, and Greg refused to accept any money because he felt they should have fixed it sooner, even though they finished when he said they would! What amazing service!!

I would recommend Tire Choice Auto Service Center in Albany to anyone. My wife and I were running errands in Albany/El Cerrito when I realized that one of our tires was losing air quickly. First, I tried the Costco tire center – they were totally booked up. I called the Tire Choice Auto Service Center in Albany and spoke with Victor. He explained that he was fairly busy, so he might not be able to repair it today, but he'd at least put on the spare for me. When we got there, I had to remove a box of dishes we were taking to Goodwill from the trunk so we could access the spare tire. As I was trying to do that, several plates fell through the bottom of the box and shattered on the cement floor, creating a mess, which I cleaned up as well as I could. Victor told me not to worry. He pulled off the damaged tire, found the nail, patched the hole explaining his method as he went, and replaced the repaired tire. All this took him about 15 minutes. Victor is not only very good at what he does, he was extremely kind and patient. When we do need new tires, this is where I plan to go.

I came by with an emergency tire repair and the gentleman quickly diagnosed that I didn't even need a repair. Just had an over-inflated tire actually. Didn't charge me anything and told me to come on by if the TPMS didn't reset. Both gentlemen were very polite and treated me well. Tires were making a noise and they came and quickly diagnosed that I have scalloped tires and need a lot of work done. Gave me a quick quote verbally. Again. Seem to be honest and fast. Although we didn't discuss any details on the type of tire yet.

Greg offered friendly and efficient service. I had no appointment, but he welcomed me and had his technician begin work on my car as soon as he came in. It was estimated to take 1-1/2 to 2 hours to do the work, so Greg kindly told me of a couple of places within 1-2 blocks where I could have breakfast. I also fit in a visit to the Daiso store about a block away! My car was ready soon after I returned to the service center. I am very pleased with the whole experience, and would recommend their services.

All the staff are incredibly kind and helpful! I’d been having tire issues for 2-3 months and couldn’t find anywhere that could help without a super long wait or incredibly expensive fees. Victor saw my car immediately and got everything taken care of within the same day for a very affordable price. He’s very friendly and professional. Highly recommend for excellent service, quality of work, and pricing. También se encuentra servicio en español con Victor si necesita.

Greg and his team at Tire Choice are fantastic. They fixed my tire in about 40 minutes at a very fair price, and the customer service was outstanding. Even when they were at full capacity, they treated everyone with patience and care, finding solutions so no one felt turned away. You can really tell they care about their customers and the community. Highly recommend.

I have been meaning to write a good review of this place for a few years. It all started with my encounter with Greg who assisted me with a low tire. From that encounter I became loyal to having my tires purchased and serviced there. My loyalty grew to having my oil changes there as well. Today my headlights were not working so my first thought was to try Tire Choice. That is when I met Stephanie. With professionalism and courtesy she helped me resolve my issue. Good customer service seems to be a dying art. I always receive it at Tire Choice. I highly recommend Tire Choice for your service needs.

Amazing service! My tire pressure sensor kept lighting up and I couldn’t figure out why. I brought it in to Tire Choice and within a very fast turnaround time they had identified a nail puncture and had me back on the road quickly. I will be coming here for all future tire needs and I will definitely be recommending to all my friends and family!

Greg at Tire Choice has been my go to person for any tire service needs over many years. He and the team are friendly and do everything they can to help - add air to tires, fit me in for a tire rotation or tire replacement. I normally dread dealing with car repairs and servicing but I know that Greg will always treat me well and take care of the customer. We are super happy and loyal as a result. Highly recommend this location for all your tire needs!

I brought my truck here to have an oil leak fixed, and the service was a 10 out of 10. The team provided fast, reliable service, and my vehicle was completed even sooner than the estimated time. Greg took the time to clearly explain everything that was going to be done, and he and his team absolutely delivered. I also want to thank Greg and Will for doing such an outstanding job. I truly appreciate the professionalism and quality of service. I will definitely be bringing my vehicle back for future service and will gladly refer my family and friends.

Greg and his team are the best! So professional, honest, and considerate. I went in for a nail in my tire and they patched it up and got me on my way in under an hour. They even checked my alignment for me. We bought a set of tires from them last year for our other car and were very pleased with the experience. I highly recommend them for all your tire needs!

"I love this place," I recently texted my husband, referring to this particular Tire Choice Auto Service Center. And it wasn't even the first time I'd done so. So why do I love this place? I think it comes down to the manager, Greg. He's helpful and looks out for the customer's best interest. For example, when I told him I would be having a bunch of repairs and services done on my car, he told me I could save money on the brake pads by buying them myself and having someone at his store install them. Sure enough, that saved me multiple hundreds of dollars. Most recently, I was treated to a free tire inspection and patch. I brought in a car that still has its original tires (i.e., not purchased at this store), one of which was losing air, despite having been reinflated at home with a compressor. The mechanic found a nail in the tire, removed it, and patched the hole. When I went to pay for the patch and labor, Greg simply handed me his business card. "Just leave us a Google review," he said. Based on the store's stellar Google reviews and rating, I can tell I'm not the only one Greg and his team treat like the most important customer in the world. I'm so glad I found this store, because I know my car is in good hands.

I had such a wonderful experience at Tire Choice in Albany! I stopped by yesterday after noticing my front left tire kept losing pressure, even after inflating it several times over the past few weeks. I was warmly welcomed by Greg Allen, the Store Manager, who was nothing short of exceptional from the very first moment. Although the shop was fully booked for the day, Greg kindly invited me to return the next morning at 8am so he could properly take care of my car. True to his word, his team promptly inspected the tire, found a nail lodged inside, and repaired it quickly and professionally. To my complete surprise, Greg generously refused to charge me. Beyond his technical expertise, Greg brings something even more special to the experience — genuine kindness, integrity, and a true dedication to serving the community. His warm welcome, generous heart, and big smile truly made my day. Thank you, Greg, for going above and beyond. I will absolutely be back and highly recommend Tire Choice Albany to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and caring service!

I’ve had consistently great experiences at Tire Choice Auto Service Center in Albany. I called the morning of with a screw in my tire and needing help ASAP, and Greg, the store manager, completely hooked me up. They removed the screw, repaired the tire, filled it with air, and had everything finished the same day within just a few hours. The entire staff—especially Greg—are incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to work with. The location is super convenient, and the service feels efficient without being rushed. This isn’t my first time here either; they’ve helped me out a few times over the years, which says a lot. I’ll absolutely continue coming back for tire service and highly recommend this spot if you want fast, reliable, and genuinely friendly service.

I was on my way to work this morning and I noticed my tire was flat! I took my partner’s car to work and she brought it to Tire Choice and they repaired the two nails in the tire right away!! Great service, so we will be back and refer them to our family and friends!
