Old fashion service. Drive up to the shop with no appointment and the service manager comes to the car and he asked what the problem was. I told him I had a flat tire. I had changed the flat and had on the spare. The manager told an employee to take care of it. It was fixed under half an hour. Charged me $40 since he had to put in two plugs to fix the big hole. There was no waiting no over charging and no upsell. I will take my car to this shop in the future. Best service.

Bought a new tire. $200 after tax. 2 months later there’s a bulge and a leak coming from one of the tire’s rivets. Brought it back, I thought they had a warranty. Said no warranty, and told me it wasn’t new. Wasn’t repairable. Said I ran over a nail. But there’s no nail. The leak came from a rivet, not a new hole, nail, or a slice. I guess I’m better off buying a used tire or a new tire from someone else who honors the warranty. They did sell me a used tire for $20 so I will keep coming here. But you expect new tires to last a few years.

Just stop by at 2:30pm for a tire sensor, was quoted $240, it takes an hour, fine. Oh come back tomorrow around 8am it’s better. Ok…. It’s just to difficult to do business with them.

Needed a tire fixed today. They were honest, efficient, and did great work!

Simply fantastic. I will go here anytime I have a tire related issue. Both my wife and I had screws in our tires. I brought my car to Pep Boys who stated they would not plug or patch, and even told me to come here. I ended up at Marina Tire where Rick (I think) said he would have it plugged in 40 minutes. I grabbed a coffee at Rockenwagner and by the time I came back my car was done. $30. I drove home, filled up my wife's tire enough to get me the 2 miles to the shop and this time it was maybe 10 minutes to repair. Another $30. I was stressed out with both cars having issues and we had both cars up and running by 10am. There are multiple unwarranted 1-starts reviews on here, even one about the waiting room, which is ridiculous. It's an auto shop. I will continue to bring my vehicles here for tire and alignment fixes.

I recently had my brake pads replaced at Marina Tire & Automotive Service and I couldn't be happier with the experience. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable auto repairs and I’ll definitely be returning for all my future car needs!

Old school tire guys. Fixed my runflats. Removed a screw and put in a plug. $25 and 10 minutes to back on the road. They will also patch runflats. Fyi.

I’ve been to this auto shop twice now (for regular maintenance and a separate problem) and both times were lovely. They were efficient, kind, and professional, and all of the prices are reasonable. I fully recommend to anyone needing services done, especially if you are a nervous person like myself!

Put the wrong size tire on my car & overcharged me. Gave me wrong info re: synthetic oil change & said 70% reading meant I only had 30% left which was the opposite. Plus the waiting room is so filthy, I wouldn't even let me dog sit there!!!

We were on vacation and a had a flat tire. I pulled into the store without an appointment. They looked at the tire and replaced a faulty valve stem. They took care to make sure that the tire didn't leak. They didn't make me leave the truck and saved me a lot of effort on my vacation. I very much appreciate their high service quality.

Wolf in sheep’s clothing.. $4k down the hole but would have been worse if guilt-ridden worker didn’t tell ultimately tell us it was a waste trying fo salvage old car. Also, they were underpaying (and understaffing) young mechanics who couldn’t afford lunch (not that they got breaks — we literally informed mechanic of labor laws in front of owners).

Nov 20, 2022

Both their website and Google say they open @ 8AM. Waited over half hour after opening but no one showed up for work. Guess they don't care about keeping normal business hours. 3 people left and went to Midas across the street because they opened on time.

Crooks, wouldn't supply old parts supposedly replaced high price! $$$$

I had some tires swapped from another set of wheels laying around. Service on tires was ok, however they left greasy hand marks all over my car. Then put my hub centric rings on all jacked up breaking the rings and cracking them. I had my car put back on lift had to go back there and show them. Had my rims balanced a week before they took weights off put on old used ones. Also still charged me full price after the fact i had to remove my wheels put hub centric rings in front of them. Used air gun on lug nuts dont even torque wheels to spec. Overall idiots!!! I would never recommend them to anyone ever pr have service done ever again. Got home checked my tire pressure all tires were way over filled. Thought this was a tire shop not a clown show.

I've come here a couple of times and have always had a very quick and easy experience. Had a nail in my tire and they immediately took me.

Nov 20, 2022

Professional, trustworthy and fast service! 100% recommended!

Nov 20, 2022

The service is excellent the owner is very polite very courteous very helpful he's helped me out a couple times I'm very happy returning to their location benini thank you I was able to make it home for the holidays I owe all to you and your wonderful mechanics

They have great prices!

Took my car in to these people to have some work done, for whatever reason they couldn't have gotten it done. Some noises which I've never heard before started coming from the area that they checked out. So I called to let them know that, and was told to bring in the vehicle. Upon dropping off the vehicle I realized the a nut/ bolt for the wheel was missing which means that my safety was compromised (just coming the freeway). Didn't make a fuss about it since I was convinced that there were other stuff which needed to be fixed or tightened in the wheel. So I left the car with them again and then went back to pick up my car, this dude (in charge) is telling me everything is nice and tight and ready go however he's still hearing the noise, so I'm trying to explain to him that there were no noises coming from that area before I brought in the vehicle. He immediately tried shutting me off with a condescending attitude not even apologetic of the fact that a bolt or bolts were not properly fastened. Here you have it, you decide if that's the kinda place or people you wanna do business with.

Amazing service

Nov 20, 2021

From the moment I enter, I was pleased and welcome. Great service, nice and down to earth staffs. I had a flat tire and they fixed it in minutes. No waiting time, fast and efficient! I would strongly recommend this place to all my friends and family. Thank you Pini !

I like them better than a big chain. They installed 4 tires plus alignment in less than 1.5 hours and the new tires made a big difference. The price was reasonable and they offer free rotations every 6 months.

Nov 20, 2021

They helped me to fix my tire, quickly and affordably! Really nice place.

Crooks don’t come here many other options in the area

I dropped my car off for two tires installed, when paying the owner told me “only $80, that’s cheap, no tip?” I went to my car, it was parked under a man on a ladder painting the front of the building. I could see some splatter on my car. I asked him if he would fix it, he said no we didn’t do that. I said who did? He said I don’t know “ maybe my step mother, do you know her?” I left very angry. I had done business here once before and left feeling belittled, but was hoping it was just a bad day for the owner. Nope, he is just low class. Do not go here if you expect the owner to respect you or be responsible for his work.

I've gone to this business in the past for quick, inexpensive tire repairs. However, I went today for a flat tire and instead of getting prompt service I got a political rant about the owner's feelings about the current POTUS and the situation in Afghanistan. (I didn't ask by the way!) Listen, I got limited time and patience, I am not going to spend my money at a small business whose owner would rather spew politics than tell me how he can fix my flat tire. He should save that for Facebook or family gatherings, cause this customer is not interested. Sad and taking my business elsewhere. Side note, I need to replace the tire and his business just missed out on a $400 sale. I dont care what side of the political spectrum someone is on, when you run a small business, maybe worry more about the customer's needs and time constraints.

This review is for the automotive services as I did not buy any tires or get any sort of tire related work done. I came here with a coupon in hand, $17 oil change * +$1 per quart for synthetics* yet I was told it would be +$60. To top it off , they informed me that my oil plug was seized and that they had “ tried “ to get it out but were unable too. Their recommendation, new oil pan installation for $500. Took it to a different garage and they had the thing off in half an hour. This place is a scam they just want your money.
