I’m praise God for my flat tire. Came over to Central Tire and found my front passenger tire had air at 77. I think this saved my life considering I’m driving 5 hours back home tomorrow. I thank the guys over here for caring to check the pressure on all my tires before I got back on the road tomorrow 🙏🙏

I had a leak in my tire that was draining pressure quickly. I looked this place up because they were closest. They jumped right on it for me. Tire was pulled, plugged, and put back in less than 20 minutes.

I don’t usually write reviews but I felt like this place deserved one. I drive past Central Tire & Auto almost every day and always see a lot of cars there so yesterday I decided to stop by and see if they had my tire size. I was originally looking for 4 brand new tires but they showed me a set of like-new used Michelin tires that were in excellent condition and honestly looked almost brand new. Their prices are very affordable and the deal was much better than I expected so I decided to go with those instead. What impressed me the most was how quickly they got everything done. They replaced all 4 tires with mounting and balancing in less than 25 minutes even though they were pretty busy. They also took my old tires without charging me any extra fees which I really appreciated. Yanal was really friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. He explained my options and helped me find something that fit my budget without trying to sell me anything I didn’t need. The rest of the guys were friendly too and seemed to know what they were doing. I honestly just stopped by to check prices and ended up leaving with 4 like-new Michelin tires and a great deal. Really glad I gave this place a try and I’ll definitely be coming back. If you’re in Memphis and need tires I’d recommend checking them out. Great service and very affordable prices!
