H & J Tire - San Rafael, California

Hans W.

I called Wednesday evening and spoke with the extremely well spoken and eloquent Chris to request availability of an alignment and mounting of 2 front tires on my 1987 Mitsubishi Mighty Max.
The youngins from my dealership were not confident to deal with the antiquated technology of my little truck. H&J was recommended and I couldn’t be happier with my experience.
Chris took my truck in immediately Thursday morning.
I was used to having the steering wheel ‘cocked’ off-center to drive it straight and I had assumed this is just how it is from now on.
Chris called to inform me that this might be the case as it’s a rather involved process to correct and may require new parts to make it centered.
I was prepared for this, but seeing as that’s more of a cosmetic concern I was fine with just the alignment and tire mounting. After picking up my newly aligned and ‘shimmed’ little truck - I was surprised to see that the steering wheel sure looks centered to me now!
And it handles like a new machine!
Although I hope I won’t need to visit them again anytime soon - I’m now looking forward to it.
Not dreading it.

10/10 will recommend and revisit in the future.

I woke up Saturday morning to a flat tire. I called three other places before H&J and no one would take me. H&J was very accommodating! I was able to purchase two new tires at a fair price, and I love the fact that this is a locally owned family business. Chris gave me a lot of options and I was in and out in no time at all.

I was so happy to discover this tire shop. It was recommended by a good friend. After making a few calls, I realized they were in fact hundreds of dollars cheaper for brakes than the other shops. When my friend and I dropped his car off in the morning they were wonderful. My friend needed brakes and new bearings. He said his car felt brand new when they were done. I'm going back for tires. Great shop!

I could never praise this business enough. Not only are they a multi-generational family owned local business, but they offer unparalleled service for as good or even better pricing than the corporate chain-gang stores. Chris and his fam value relationships and have even helped me problem solve an issue over the phone knowing that I was too far to bring the vehicle in to their shop.
Great tires too!

Five stars all around. Work was completed VERY quickly. Owners incredibly helpful. Was referred here by my mechanic, who we've known for a decade. Most important is the tires I bought qualified for a 120$ rebate, but I guess I didn't qualify because of it being a few days late or the source of the tires, yet they said they'd fight for me and try and get it to go through anyway. Well, they did it, and I got the rebate card as well. So yeah, no complaints at all.

This is my GT.... Go to tire place. The pop and son shop is friendly, competitive in pricing vs the tire rack (don't pretend you don't see how cheap you can get some tires and then call up a local shop to compare) and their service is top notch... Or is it top shelf? Ha! Both! Get out the Blanton's! They also repair tires for a very fair price if you just have a nail or screw that slowed you down on the 101. Ask for Chris J or his pops.

I couldn’t recommend a better place. They are honest and do good work. Will only come here.
