They started to charge a fee for flat tire fix on my new Tesla. Previously, it was free, so I never needed to rethink it. That is why I had purchased two sets of tires in the shop before. Obviously, they decide to only take care of sold tires. Service is still good. Job done quickly. But I still prefer to get noticed first if policy changes.

I've known Mike at Bears for over 20 years and have used this shop regularly during that time. No pressure sales and only sell you what you need, not what they need to sell you. Always an honest assessment of your tires and truly want to get you the best value for your vehicle. Highly recommended and a customer for life.

Great place! The owner is very patient, polite and honest! He explained everything to me. Tires arrived on time and the job was done quickly. I liked that no one tried to sell me alignment . I thought I needed it. But they looked at my worn tires and gave me proper info.

We've been using Bears tires for over 30 years now, well before there was anything like Yelp or Google reviews.  I remember my father-in-law telling me about them years ago,  and I was doing the same today, recommending them to a friend,  when it occurred to me that a review was in order, so here it is: Bears Tires…

This is one of those hidden gem places that IYKYK and if you don't, you may never find out. If you have not purchases tires there, they may or may not patch tires for free. I have experienced both outcomes. Later, I made a mistake identifying my trim and ordered the wrong tires. Issue was found at install time.…

Hands-down, this is the best tire shop I’ve ever been to whether you’re bringing in your older Toyota Camry or a brand new supercar. I trust them with any of my vehicles. They are polite, knowledgeable, and very efficient. I would not bring my car anywhere else.

This place was great. Got 2 new tires for my Chevy Spark for less than $180, and the install took less than 30 minutes even though there were two customers in front of me. Could not recommend more.
