Los Angeles Auto Repair

I rolled into University Tire today in need of 4 tires for my older Toyota van. John quoted me a price of 70.00 per tire for Doral tires( a good price). Turns out that they only had 3 Dorals and gave me 4 Dunlops instead at the earlier quoted price. It is no wonder that they do volume business in the University Park area..they are the vendor of choice for me (over Fairmont tires). A very honest and integral operation who knows how to cultivate repeat customers and referral business

This is my first Yelp review, and I was motivated to write this because John, the shop manager, really went out of his way to make my experience here great. Originally this was going to be a one or two star review. This was my first time going here, and I thought I'd try this shop based on its proximity to USC and the other positive Yelp reviews. I call up the shop at 2:30pm on a Thursday and ask if they have time to change my oil that day, they say yes, and I bring my car in around 3. I speak with John and he assures me that it'll take 45 minutes or less to get the job done. Well, 45 minutes go by, and my car is still in the same parking spot. After an hour of waiting, and my car not moving, I have to be somewhere else, and decide just to get my keys and leave. At this point, I was annoyed and didn't want to come back. I wouldn't have recommended University Tire to anyone. This is where John makes a difference. About 15 minutes after I leave, he calls me (I filled out an informational form when I got there) and apologizes for the wait. He offers me a discount and promises to do the job quickly if I come back the next day in the morning. I was pleasantly surprised that he called me back. I can't remember the last time something like this happened (manager actually caring about the customer and going out of his way to make it right), so I take him up on the offer and come back the next day. The next day the service was quick and reasonably priced, and John was very friendly. They actually noticed a nail in my tire and were able to fix that right on the spot as well. I only give them 4 out of 5 stars because of the first day, but I definitely recommend University Tire, and John the manager! Just make sure you go in the morning if you want to be in and out of there quickly!!

I am a new resident near by the north univeraity park. I need a break job done quickly because I will go to Big Bear Lake day after tomorrow, that winding road when going downhill, you need a lot of break. This place is close to me but I don't know if they do break jobs. A technition name Edgar asured me that they do good break jobs. And sure they did with a reasonable price. I am their new happy customer now.

fantastic service! I came here to get my alignment and it was only 50 dollars! man that was a great deal, the service is fast! I'm definetly coming back here for other more services. so I recommend this place to all you in need of tire service etc,..

When my brain thinks 'tire salesman,' honest and friendly are not the words that usually pop into my head first. Given that, I was amazingly and pleasantly surprised by how wonderful University Tire Center is. Especially because it's not located in a neighborhood known for customer service. Busting two tires less than three weeks apart is no fun at all. John made it better. Tire #1, which succumbed to a pothole, was replaced in less than 30 minutes while I waited. I didn't even call ahead or make an appointment. And the price? Awesome. Tire #2, which was stabbed by a piece of metal some evil person put in the road, was patched up in about 20 minutes while I waited. Again, no appointment and the price was so good that for a second I was afraid I had only been quoted the tax on the real amount. John not only remembered me from the first visit but was helpful and super nice and calm. He even got a guy to come out and give me an estimate on the spot for the cost of a paint touch up for scratches on my poor baby's fender.

They were super friendly and the pricing was good. It's close to USC, which makes it very convenient for me. Will go back for my next oil change.

These guys are fast, friendly, and cheap. I blew a flat and called 4-5 different places who only offered new tires; which I did not need because none of my other tires were new, and I didn't want to buy two;-) University quoted me $25 installed for a used tire. It took 45 minutes, and they replaced it with a used Michelin, matching my other three tires in tread wear. Very cool place. They also quoted me a fair price for 4 new tires when I do get them replaced.

I was looking for a good place to have an alignment and to have my wheels balance and I decided to come. I spoke with John the manager and he was straight forward and a really good guy. He really helped me out. Its hard to find a place that is really honest and to have somebody who is not going to rip you off. Thanks John and UNIVERSITY TIRES. THUMBS UP!

$28 (including tax) for an oil change in about half an hour. $140 for two new tires in 45 minutes. Nice, simple air-conditioned waiting room. 1 minute from my place. I like!

They had the best price and friendly staff.
