Tire chain stores tend to cross sell unnecessary things, "You need a new tire? well you need to buy 2 so they are matched" We blew the sidewall on a SF pothole. Larkin offered a new tire ($120), no cross-selling. Better yet: I asked if they had a used or cheap tire, explaining the car is a VW diesel that I hope VW will buy back soon. They had a used tire on-hand, very good condition, balanced it, popped it on, done in minutes. $55. I've found a new tire dealer! (hint: mid-afternoon on a Thursday... no waiting!)

George S.San Francisco, CA18Aug 15, 2024Updated reviewLarkins Bros is awesome!
The last several times we've had air pressure issues with tires, they've taken care of it.
Service is professional, efficient, and friendly. They give you all the answers you need about the cause of the issues with your wheels or tires.
They have a waiting room if you want a place to sit and work or just hang out while you wait.
Location and hours are super convenient.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Oct 24, 2012Previous reviewHad a slowly leaking tire patched up here. It's convenient that they are open on weekends. Staff is fine, mostly just to the point. Prices are reasonable.
It was a little awkward just standing around and waiting, but I did like being able to see the work while it was being done. The whole thing was pretty quick, called ahead beforehand and they said to come right in. There was no wait to get started and the repair didn't take long.
Aaa T.San Francisco, CA111641007Aug 10, 2024Updated reviewI returned here again for another nail in my tire. It was fantastic last time and this time too! :0) Please be sure to call ahead to schedule an appt whenever possible. I tried to go in yesterday late PM, but they were all booked up.
Arrived today/Saturday, 7:45am for 8am check-in. They repaired my Front Tire that had a small nail in it.
Friendly, professional technicians and employee front desk staff. $35 for my Mini SUV tire repair.
Thank You so much for your quick tire repair and for your wonderful Team, it was a very smooth process from start to finish! :0)
Since they took me right away as soon as they opened at 8am, they fixed my tire issue in 35 minutes or so, amazingly fast work! LOVED it! Thank You again! I will recommend you to my Friends and Family.

Aaa, thank you so much for leaving another awesome review. We really appreciate your business and so glad you returned. We’ll see you down the road!!
Sincerely,
The LBT Team.Feb 15, 2020Previous reviewI found a huge nail in my tire this morning and called them to see how long the wait time was, est 1.5 - 2hrs. Dropped in and worked with Lawrence, he's awesome. Friendly, professional, and fast service under 1hr. The repair technicians were also very friendly and helpful. Thank You so much to Lawrence and his team! Really appreciate your great service and fast turnaround! I will recommend and return as needed. Additionally, there's a yummy Mexican place next door. I ordered a veggie burrito and it came with chips and salsa. They are known for their Michelados, but i hadn't eaten yet, so couldn't try one. Next time! :0)

Vivian W.San Francisco, CA15630Aug 23, 2024I have come here several times to fix tires. It takes about 30 mins to fix a slow leak from a nail depending on how busy it is. It's not in the greatest neighborhood for walking around to wait for the service, but there's a small waiting area (bring your entertainment). They are pretty efficient and friendly!

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!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1Feb 28, 2019Previous reviewLarkins Bros Tire Company (LBTC) rules.
Why It's a Smooth Ride +'s:
+ Honest assessment. First time I came here to get tires checked bc MINI dealer said my tires needed replacement. The rep said don't bother changing them. He compared changing my tires to throwing away a pie that has only been 60% eaten. The other 40% can be eaten later. I walked away with a pie craving and saving my tires since they were only 60% worn.
+ Quick service. I arrived early on a Thursday and they assessed my tire. Only a patch needed for $30. Done in 45'.
+ Good price. For $30 to do a patch vs a tire replacement, I say it's a good deal.
+ Friendly service. They greeted me and checked me out. They showed me the waiting room and kept it warm even though I was the only person in there.
+ Good waiting room. I had my fill of San Francisco, People, InStyle, and etc.
Why There are Potholes -'s:
- Popular. This place can get crazy busy on weekends I notice. But good rep and good service means it's worth the wait and drive to come here. 
Jane M.Noe Valley, San Francisco, CA143495Jun 17, 2024Didn't have an appointment but needed 2 front tires. Done quickly and affordably been going for years

Ryan P.Las Vegas, NV11712Jun 25, 2024New 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 !
