Customers consistently praise the shop for fair pricing, quick service, and honest assessments that avoid unnecessary repairs. Reviewers highlight clear communication and professional staff who explain work transparently. One recurring criticism involves concerns about the thoroughness of final checks, specifically noting that lug nuts were not verified with a torque wrench and the vehicle remained on the jack upon completion.

Had an amazing experience getting my brake pads and rotors replaced. Clear communication, transparent pricing, and a smooth schedule from start to finish. Alfredo even walked me through the parts he replaced once the job was done. Highly recommend this shop. Will definitely be back for future service.

On one visit, I came in thinking I needed a full set of four tires because that's what the dealership tried to push on me. Alfredo inspected them and honestly let me know I only needed two, saving me a ton of money. On another visit, Alfredo went out of his way to hunt down and secure the exact, hard-to-find tire size for my car when no one else could.
Honest advice, incredible attention to detail, and top-tier customer care every single time. Alfredo provides perfect service!

Justin Lim8 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Justin has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
The owner was very nice and the price for the wheel balance was good. Overall, I wanted to give the shop 5 stars because of the friendly service and value.
I did leave a little unsure about the work, though. After the wheel balance, I noticed the lug nuts were tightened with an impact gun, but I didn’t see them finished with a torque wrench. The truck was also still lifted on the floor jack when I was told it was done. When I asked if the wheels could be torqued, the worker checked the lug nuts by jiggling them with a torque wrench.
Everyone was nice, but that part left me a little concerned about whether my wheels were properly tightened. I’ll probably double-check the lug torque myself for peace of mind. Otherwise, good price and a pleasant owner.

Great service — completed in just three hours with no fuss. The team was professional, efficient, and transparent from start to finish; they explained the work clearly, stayed on schedule, and didn’t try to upsell unnecessary extras. Communication was excellent, the quality exceeded my expectations, and the price was fair. I’ve dealt with other shops that drag things out or overcomplicate simple jobs, but this place gets straight to the point and delivers. Highly recommend for anyone who wants fast, honest, and reliable service.

Alfredo is a great technician and honest. I was told I needed new front brakes and was quoted $1,300 for my vehicle and that my rotors were bad. When I took my vehicle to Elite Tire Shop, Alfredo looked at it and my brake pads did not need replaced for nearly a year. He showed me the pads and a measuring device that confirmed it. Also, my rotors are in great shape. He definitely saved me a substantial and unnecessary repair cost. Highly recommend.

Douglas Hammack1 reviewiTotal number of Google reviews Douglas has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I was stranded and asked multiple shops in the area if they could help me with taking my tire off or just barrow a tool, as I had it warranty somewhere else strapped for cash I was basically asking for a favor. No help until I came across Alfredo. He not only drove me back to my car he took it off for me.
When I got back with a new tire, I brought him a taco and he even brought me back and put it on for me. I Highly recommend this place, doesn't get better than good people and good service!
I will be coming back and telling my office about this place!
Thank you Alfredo!!🤙

I called ahead of time to see if they had the tire I needed. They gave me the details of the set they had which was an amazing price compared to big tire shops. Price includes installation and balance.
The owner and his employee were kind and very helpful with what the service was. Will say if you are looking for a new tire shop choose them! I payed cash not sure if they accept card just as a headsup.
