Larkins Bros Tire Company

As always this place is fantastic! Though this is the first review I'm leaving. I called ahead after finding a bolt in my tire.
They were honest with me about my tires and worked with my request. Many places will try to convince you that you need multiple tires, but when I told him straight up that I couldn't really afford it and I was hoping that he could give me a genuine assessment of the safety of continuing on with just one tire replacement, so I could determine if I really needed to use money I don't have. .
Thankfully he told me that I'd be ok, though that my back two tires were getting close in the next few months to needing a replacement and that I should save up for that. I drive for Uber in San Francisco and have had 3 blowouts in 4 months, and then this tire. The tire also had a chunk missing from the sidewalk. I expect that I'll need to replace a several damaged tire before I wear them down. I am genuinely grateful that they didn't screw me into new tires I'd just damage in a few months anyways. I paid $60 in total for a used tire on my 2016 Hyundai Sonata. As opposed to other tire places that had tires for $120 each plus installation and recommended I replace 2-4 tires.
It took them 15 minutes, and I came 45 minuets before closing.
They take Apple Pay.
I will be coming back.

Quick service, very popular for tire changes, and reasonable prices.

They also are open weekends.

They were honest, quick, and to the point with no BS or upsells, even on a very busy Friday. Patched my rear right tire on my Polestar 2 and gave me an estimate on how long before I needed a tire replacement.

Also, a plus that they know how to work on EVs that have special tires with foam inside.

Amazing. Unable to fix without ordering but very kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend going to this facility.

New to the city and it's always a struggle to find new shops you can trust. Went here based off other reviews and they did not disappoint. Called in the morning and they didn't have my tire size in shop but said they could have it later that day. Came back later as promised and had me out in about an hour. I will be returning here for my tire needs !

Didn't have an appointment but needed 2 front tires. Done quickly and affordably been going for years

This is a great tire company and it shows. No BS, actual appointments honored, and great knowledgable service. Most recently came in with a puncture in an A/T tire from off-roading. I had put a patch on the tire in the middle of the tread to get home and they were able to fix it properly with a patch on the inside. Another not so great tire company (rhymes with meal works), only wanted to sell me new tires despite that the current set still had half their life left. I will keep coming back here in the future. While it can be crowded, they handle it efficiently and have excellent customer service. For tire in SF, these guys are the best.

I got a flat tire and stopped by Larkin bros to see about getting it repaired. They were able to fix it without any issues. I didn't even need to get out of the car while they were repairing it. It was fixed, I paid, and I was on my way all within maybe 10-15 minutes. And it was only $35 which I thought was a great price. They were very transparent which I appreciate so much. I'll be happy to go back to them in the future with any tire issues.

No change in timely and service since my last visit!

Arrived Monday evening before it closed and got my tire patched for $35 in less than 15'

Very happy to know the low pressure air light on my dashboard is no longer an issue!

I suspected that my tire had a hole in it because my tire pressure would always be low every 2 weeks after I pump air into it.
I brought it to larkins bros upon recommendation from a Costco Technician actually.
I arrived at 5pm and was told it might take about 45 minutes to troubleshoot but luckily, they fixed my tire in 30 mins. I paid $35 and was out of there!

I needed to replace all 4 tires for a Tesla Model Y and had trouble finding a place I could trust to have the right tires in stock and quickly knock out the service.

Larkin did have a newly updated set of EV-rated all-season Hankook tires that have fantastic grip and seem to give the car a smoother ride with less road noise than the Continentals that came from the factory.

The whole thing took less than an hour and Randy made it easy and efficient.

Will go back for tire service here again in the future and happily recommend to anyone needing tires or repairs without hesitation.
