Review from John C.
1/17/2011
In my continuing quest to air up my tires, after using 2 gas stations air machines that didn't work right, I swallowed my man pride and took it this morning to a tire shop to have them do it. I came here because when I had a flat tire last year I asked them to repair it. It turned out the tire was beyond help (and I didn't buy one from them because I get my tires used), but they didn't charge me anything for checking the tire and putting on the spare!
Today, when I told them I needed needed the guy replied, "we have lots of air!" And they did, or at least enough to fill my tires to 33psi.
It was free! -

I was sent here when my company car got a flat tire. If I had a choice I most likely would have gone somewhere else. But that being said it was close enough that I walked him which was nice.
Staff is not particularly friendly. They fixed my flat, nothing else to really comment on. The interior is kind of dark and dingy. I prefer my car places to have better customer service and make an effort to explain what happened with my car rather than waiting for me to ask. -
Review from Annie D.
This review begins with a birthday. My birthday. TODAY.
And what precious gift did I receive today while driving on 94? An exploding tire.
Crazy day, but I'm actually in high spirits. Unfortunately, Tires Plus did not contribute to those high spirits. After that fiasco on the road, I drove to Tires Plus on my baby tire and asked them to replace my busted one. My family has always bought our tires from here, so they were under warranty.
The work was completed just fine, but the communication throughout the process was pretty poor. A lot of waiting and then nothing and then more waiting. I expect waiting at a car repair place, but I just wish I had known from the beginning that it would take more than 30 minutes to get an estimate when the guy at the counter said, "We'll take a look right now." I would have gone home and they could have called me.
When I got the price estimate ($40 with the warranty coverage), my boyfriend picked me up so that I wouldn't have to hang out all day with the container of Coffeemate (those things are always hanging around in car repair places, I swear). Before I left, I noticed signs saying they would be closed at 6 p.m. tonight for a meeting. I made sure to ask if my car would be ready before then (was not offered an actual time estimate on the work). They said definitely and that they would call. Things were looking up.
Then, no call.
6 p.m. rolled around and I realized that I still haven't heard from them, so I called hoping that someone would be there. Thankfully, someone was in the office and said that the car had been ready for a while. I said, "No call?" He said, "I called earlier and it went straight to voicemail."
That would have been a good time to leave a voicemail, no? Isn't that the typical thing to do? But no voicemail.
Anyway, I'm just a bit frustrated with the communication today. The actual work seems to be fine and I had an OK experience with them a few months ago when they patched a tire for me, but I think this will be my last trip to Tires Plus.Listed in: Fix 'Er Uppers

As far as I can tell, there is a rampant issue at the Uptown Tires Plus where they are lying about repairs needed on your car. And as soon as someplace starts doing this, what's to keep them from sabotaging your car?
I got a "lifetime" guarantee on tires here, which has been a nightmare, because now I'm ALWAYS getting flats, which I never did before. Then I have had the opportunity to hear them telling lots of people that some crucial danger existed that had to be fixed before they could drive again. They tried this on me once, right after it had been to my mechanic. And when I brought it to my mechanic based on this, he found nothing wrong with it.
There are lots of similar reviews about this behavior that Google is scraping over to their map listing, so it's obviously been going on for awhile. Stay away from Tires Plus - there are lots of other places nearby.
