Great customer service, fast and efficient
These guys made one of the worst days I’ve had in a long time 100% better! They’re kind, competent, and patient with my wild pack of dogs. The customer service was amazing. They went above and beyond to give me the best price possible and get me back on the road as quickly as they could. I highly recommend this…
I love this shop and don’t take my cars anywhere else. They offer competitive pricing and give a range of cost options to meet my budget. And everyone is so nice. They were able to get me in and out in a couple of hours yesterday and I just did work at the coffee shop across the street while waiting.
Amazing job! Great customer service! Kevin took care of me and got me exactly what I needed. Im dialed with new snow tires for the winter season. I will be returning for all my tire needs!
My second time with two different trucks getting a TPMS error message. Dealer service insisted changing out all four sensors. Toscalito found one bad sensor each time and replaced them saving my hundreds. Honest, no pressure folks. Love them!
A business ultimately earns loyalty from its customers by delivering value for the money consistently. Toscalito does it with a friendly, "can do" approach. Over the years they've sourced hard to find tires for me, got me out of a few tire jams, took me in the same way if I walked in or made appts. Solid tire service!
The whole Toscalito team was awesome to work with while getting some custom wheels installed on our BMW. They walked me through the process and pricing, got us scheduled once the wheels arrived, and were super communicative throughout the process. We’ll definitely be trusting them with our cars for years to come!
I’ve been a customer for over 5 years, and they always provide the best service in San Rafael! I highly recommend them to all my family and friends.
Great service! Replaced two tires quickly and professionally. Fair price and friendly staff. Highly recommend!
Customer service was great and everything was very efficient. They didn’t try to up sale and wanted to explore all options before ordering the new tire wheel. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.
Sales tech. researched options for my electric car, explained pros/cons of three options, and once choice was made, was able to get a $80 discount from manufacturer.
Consistently the best wheel and tire service for my Lucid!
I have been a customer for quite a while and my experiences have been very positive! The employees are friendly and easy to communicate with. They are reasonable with the costs of repairs and maintenance. I recently had an oil change done at Toscalito, and they were well managed and completed everything in a timely…
I had an excellent experience at Toscalito Tires today. Every staff member greeted me by my name and they were all super friendly. The staff was helpful and efficient and I'll definitely return again.
The service was good and the price was definitely good happy about it they were running a deal I guess for 4th of July but that's the best. Fixed my flat. The insurance is worth it. I saved money on the repair and it paid for itself and then some.
Great service
Absolutely the most excellent efficient fast and polite service I’ve ever experienced in my whole life. Proud I can say I went to Toscalito for ALL my trucks service! LOVE MY TIRES, thanks guys!!!
Great quick service. Fixed a slow leaks in my tire caused by a nail.
Incredibly professional, very fast, competitive price and super friendly. What more could you ask for?
I put new tires at Toscalito Tire & Automotive in San Rafael. Work was fast, they give me discount and price better than other shops. Very good place, I happy with service.
Herman was a huge help when I needed a replacement run-flat tire. He was able to order the tire for me right away. When it arrived I had it installed in less than 30 minutes. The service was fast, professional, and convenient. I highly recommend Herman and his team!
Great - tires were ordered and. Ame in the next day. Nice staff and the tires were on in no time. Highly recommend!
The staff at Toscalitos are always friendly, polite and very helpful.
Kevin and Herman were just the nicest, most understanding & accommodating guys...they took great care of my car and found a way to bring some sun into an already stressful day for me. Our family swears by the work that Toscalito does, but this team in Ssn Rafael takes it to a new level & truly makes the customer experience shine. Thanks guys!
Exellent services! Thank you Eli and the team making things nicely done.
Took care of us in timely and professional manner. Fair prices and came with shuttle service back to my home
Great place to get your tires replaced!
My hometown heroes, my good friends in the tire business. Toscalito always takes great care of my car, with speed and a smile. They’re like having an awesome barber, except I only need a haircut every other year.
These guys are the best and they’re fast and good at what they do. In and out.
I had a slow leak and called hoping they had an availability and they did! They were very nice and I made no demands on them, but they got me right in and had it done right away. Thank you so much guys.
Friendly, prompt and competent service. Very few places are open on Sundays, so this was a lifesaver - a full set of brand new tires mounted, plus oil change so I was extremely pleased with their service..
Reasonable and done quickly
Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Staff member, Kevin, answered all questions, offered several options with extremely reasonable rates, did not try to upsell tires that needed to be ordered or were temporarily out of stock, provided same-day service in under 2 hours, super friendly professional,…
Very helpfully, quick turn around. I will be a customer for life. 10/10
Great help and service for an emergency repair on a weekend!
Professional, courteous, reasonably priced, and very prompt! Highly recommended.
Great service - I stopped in on Sunday afternoon after my tire warning light came on Saturday night. The team was super friendly - checked it out, found a nail, and patched the tired within 30min. Fair price, didn't try to sell me anything extra. Thanks so much for great service!
Always a great experience! Honest and efficient. Had new HP tires put on Porsche GT3 center locks! Super professionally executed.
Wonderful customer service, great turnaround time. Highly recommended!
Great service.
The team at Toscalito was excellent. They were efficient and respectful of my time. All work was completes as expected and the new tires are working out great.
Amazing work and just the best, sweetest costumer service! I had a nail in my tire and they quickly and efficiently fixed her up and had me on my way :)
Eli and team were great. Service was super responsive and the price was right. Eli and Toscalito are my go to choice for my tires needs. Thanks Toscalito!!
Very easy to deal with, fair pricing and fast service. Super responsive
I made it clear what I wanted, they didn't try to upsell me but made realistic recommendations. They answered all my questions adequately. Work done right all baes covered no BS. Just the way it should be.
Not only did they do a great job replacing my tires, but they also tracked down a rattling noise that would have driven me crazy for a long time. They found a small brake issue, and fixed it at no extra charge. Great service, honest work, and attention to detail. I’d definitely recommend them.
Also fantastic service at this location!! The guys are honest and helpful and upfront! Early drop off is always quick! Took my Tesla in for tire rotation in early today and got to wait for it. shopped at Sprouts and bang! It was ready!
Was able to call and get in same day (on a weekend!) to replace my tires. I really appreciated his suggestion for what to pick and making sure that things were done quickly and well.
I've been going to Toscalito for nearly 10 years with each time I go there, the work is completed on time and per their estimates, and of coure, of the guys are great and helpful. Thanks again ~ g
Great service! Fast, professional and very courteous - I’ve been going to this shop for tires service for years
I trust this crew to tell me what is needed and give me the best price possible
Took my car in for an alignment. They told me that two of my tires were not that great and that I could either wait for a while or buy two new tires. I chose to buy the two tires and while they were a bit more expensive than at say, Costco, they did a great job , did it quickly and they’re a neighborhood business. I…
Knowledgeable staff and expedient, thorough service. Highly recommend!
Great shop! Kind, affordable, and quick.
Needed tires for my McLaren, Arron was very helpful. Amazing price and costumer service
Great experience with Toscalito. They quickly ordered my tire and was able to get it swapped out next business day. Communication was on point with customer service and price fair.
Great service and experience!
I really needed tires. Car suits idle 5-6 months a year for past 5 years. Original tires on 2015 TLX with 52000 miles on it. The right tires (4) at an aggressive price. I had an appointment and got there early. Actually started a bit before appointment time. And finished in less than the expected elapsed time.…
On Tuesday morning, I discovered a nail in one of my tires. Not a big deal, ecept I was scheduled to take a family member to a medical appointment about an hour and a half away. And I needed to leave in about 3 hours. The folks at Toscalito in San Rafael said they could get my tire fixed and have me on my way in…
Bringing a car in for service is often stressful and off-putting, but my recent experience with Toscalito (San Rafael) was the total opposite. Kevin, Herman and Eli were each kind, professional and transparent in everything they communicated, and as a result of my recent experience, I will continue bringing both of…
Very efficient . The repair was done right on time with no hitches.
Toscalito treated me well, was able to have my car problems assessed and fixed quickly, efficiently and the guys there are so helpful & friendly.
Excellent customer service. Really appreciate not being “over sold”.
Got a nail in my tire around 3:30 p.m. On a Sunday. They got me in around 3: 45 the same day. Got my tire patched and ready to go all within about 40 minutes. Thanks for the help again guys. Highly recommend.
Super nice team and got my tire patched up so fast! Highly recommend.
They are the coolest guys in the county....I brought a tubeless, 13 in ride on scooter tire to them, asked if they had a valve stem and would they install it.... They took it right away.... No problem, they said....I had heard quotes from 35 and up to do the job when I called around.... So I brought enough to cover…
Friendly and affordable shop. I’ve used several tire shops around Marin and this one is my favorite. Tire services have been easy and on time. I just had some wheels refinished while getting new tires and they took care of sending out the wheels - it was nice to get that all done in one place.
Happy with the exceptional customer service and reasonable pricing. And my Volvo is happy with her new wheels. Thank you Kevin for your time after hours you put in to get me back on the road right away and for your team the next day finishing the work.
Great service and excellent pricing, also great to work with, couldn't pick up my car before closing, so they kept it in a safe, locked area,
Superb service!
My tire hit something on a curb and put a 3 inch gash along the side. Immediately flat. It was the end of the day on a Friday and Kevin and crew were there to help. A quick install, very good price and I was back on the road. Thanks guys!
I always have a great experience at Toscalito and I go there a lot as my tires seem to be attracted to metal screws!!
Purchased tires there last summer and had a flat this weekend. Toscalito was quick to analyze the tire, order a replacement, and get my car back to normal as quickly as possible. They were great, and at a reasonable cost. Thank you!
Quality experience! Selecting tires and scheduling an appointment on their website was a breeze, and the service was fast and professional. Would shop for tires there again in the future!
They fit my car into a busy schedule, excellent work as always.
Got me in, sorted the new tires and alignment, all within a couple hours on a Sunday before a trip. Much appreciated.
I purchased a new set of tires and wow they really gave my car the makeover it needed and gave my car that smooth ride back! Thanks Toscalito I always appreciate the good work you do and I recommend you highly to all who want a good deal on good products and services in these days where we are all looking to…
Excellent service. Competitive pricing, professional customer contact, and attention to detail in installation. Completed a set of 4 tires, balanced, installed and aligment on a busy Saturday in under two hours.
The manager, Eli, is top class. Doesn’t try to sell you stuff you don’t need. Very honest, efficient, and personable. This is the only place I’ll do business with in Marin.
Favorite tire service in Marin, many years of happy trails with them
Excellent prices and service. Extremely fast one-hour turnaround for tire replacement.
Excellent customer service and Eli was the best!
Able to replace my tires that day, and the guys were so easy to work with. Prices were discussed upfront and honestly. Great place!
I love going here. They always make it easy for me. In and out. Super friendly.
Toscalito Tire did a fantastic job servicing my car. They are honest and do not recommend paying for repairs that truly aren’t necessary at the time. Which is different than when I have gone to the dealership I will continue to go to Toscalito Tire to get my car serviced. The workmanship, honest service will keep bringing me back.
Herman will take care of you!
I originally went to Toscalito for a tire patch, and now they have been taking care of maintenance on my Subaru for years! These guys are great--friendly, efficient, reliable service and they don't try to push you into things you don't need. Honest advice and quality workmanship. Highly recommended!
Fixed my problem ahead of expected time
Great service. Always so friendly. I showed up without an appmnt. I was out of there in less than hour.
Donovan was friendly and professional. Got me in, my tire was fixed, and I was on my way. Easy cheesy.
Good customer service, and good advice. Altogether a very good experience!
Awesome service. I went in to get my flat repaired. They were quick to prioritize and identify the problem. Since it was a sidewall puncture, repairs could not be done, but they did install the spare. And the cost was very reasonable.
Thanks for putting new slippers on my Subaru!
Fast, friendly expert service. Highly recommend.
The customer service was great everyone was welcoming and courteous. The service was great. I was in and out.
Quick, competent no nonsense service, thank you!
Toscalito repaired my car's tire quickly, at a good price, with great communication. I was very happy and definitely recommend them.
I have had my car and tire service at Toscalito for several years. The staff are hard-working and knowledgeable. Herman, the assistant manager is trustworthy and personable. Establishments, like this keep loyal clients.
Great place. Helped me with exactly what I needed with the tires on my Tesla.
I have had really good experience with Toscalito Tire in San Rafael, CA. Today, I bought my second set of tires from them and really like the ride I'm experiencing having the tires balanced and the car aligned.
