Mel's Tire

All around excellent service.

Education comes with excellent service

I brought my car here with potential damaged rims, turns out I was able to get a good cleaning done and saved 100s of dollars just from a good honest business owner who is passionate about what they do

This review is way overdue!! I met Mel, his wife and their daughter when I used to manage a Starbucks store in San Leandro and they were regular morning customers. When I found out that they own a tire place, I took a note to remember to go to their place if I ever need tires. Few years later in 2017 I needed to replace my tires for the first time. I went there and right off the bat pleasant service, honest and quick.

Now fast forward to 2023 I need to replace my tires from 2017 (yup they lasted that long even though I drove a lot to and from Santa Cruz and San Jose during the pandemic). I of course went to Mel's tire again to get new replacement. I missed my first appt but they were happy to reschedule it. And I miss the time again and came in 1 hr later and they still made time to replace my tire in a little over 1hr (yes all 4 tires!).

If you're looking for an affordable, good quality, honest tire place - go to Mel's tire!!

Great job done well with a great attitude. Apparently those were not enough words to make a post so I say enough said. Peace on

Always offers replacement tires in a broad price range. Quick, friendly, and nice folks. I recommend highly.

Veronica and Monte are sweet and dynamic team.

Mom and Pop shops FTW btw. I was in and out of the at the shop in 30 minutes.

I called, a human answered! Checked if they had availability. Veronica said I can come in now and she will check if my spare used tire is good and will mount it for $30.

Upon arrival, she took my used tire and quickly got to removing the rim from my flat tire. Monte checked the tread on my other tires and took off the donut and installed the mounted tire. He also made some recommendations on when to replace tire pressure sensors since the batteries themselves aren't serviceable.

When putting the donut back in the trunk, he noticed that my trunk latch was loose and volunteered to tighten it. Now, that's service!

They have earned my future business.

Highly recommend.

I bought a set of brand new tires about a year ago. I went in this morning because my tire light went on with no appointment. They weren't even open yet and the owner, Veronica greeted me and told me they would take care of me. She called me within an hour and my car was ready. They rotated my tires, checked for any leaks as well as checked my brakes. Veronica leads her shop with integrity and honesty and I recommend this shop for all your tire and break needs! Thank you for always providing great service!

Not sure if it's because I went during the week but I got a flat and yelped the closest tire place. Thankfully I found Mel's. I was in and out in literally less than 30min. I drive a Honda Accord and the cheapest tire option they had was 85$. I paid 115$ in total.

If you want them to take a look further, I'm sure you could ask. But all I wanted was the tire replaced so I could be on my way.

The woman at the front (Veronica?) is very nice and handles everything efficiently. Calls kept coming in the whole time I was there so I'm glad they're keeping busy. Her husband that did the replacement (Oscar?) spared no time as well.

If I ever have any non-urgent needs, I'm sure I'll be back.

They're great and super friendly. I had tires which were old and i had to constantly put air in them every other day. I spent my sunday looking for replacements but had no luck. Came here on Monday and they were able to get me tires for my car for a great price and done on the same day.

Which was also convenient for me because i work a couple of blocks down the street. I will be coming back here. I need an alignment so theyll see me soo.

I came here to fix a slow leak in my tire. Dropped of my car and headed back to work. Car was done by my break time. Very friendly service.

Still a good reliable place to get tires and repairs. I don't go to the big places, they spend too much on advertising! Nice family operation.
