Rent-A-Tire

Very good experience, manager was committed to providing customer satisfaction. Definitely would recommend store to others.

Great, quick, friendly service! Had a nail in my tire that another business said was too close to the edge. Rent-​a-​tire was able to patch it with no problem! I would come here again for my tire needs.

They stole from me. I purchased some rims and tires from them for my brand new car. There was not any room in my back seat to put the car’s original tires so I told them I would come back the same day to pick them up in a truck. When I came back, my BRAND NEW tires were gone. The employees acted like they had no idea what happened to them.
I do not recommend purchasing anything from this place, ever. Thieves.

These guys are awesome! I got a flat and realized I lost my tire key thingy (clearly I know nothing about cars). I was able to get it plugged at one tire place but needed a patch which was impossible without the key. I went to a few places that couldn’t help me and recommended Rent A Tire. Came here and they were able to remove the locks and patched my tire FOR FREE. The whole process took less than 30 minutes and the customer service was spot on. Thanks guys!!!

Excellent customer service… Repair my flat in less than 15 minutes. Definitely come back for my tire and wheel needs and recommend them highly.

Where to start? First off I know it’s my own fault for wanting what I can’t afford ASAP, but that does not give them the right to be rude. At first it’s all smiles and «what can we do to help you» but as soon as your hooked that stops real quick.
I purchased a set of wheels and tires last year right after Christmas. Like I said first they were really helpful but the girl that was helping me messed up and was doing paperwork on a set of wheels that did not fit my vehicle. Mind you this was not figured out till my truck was in the back with my factory wheels off about 4 hours into it to be correct. If you’re in a hurry this is not the place to come. Anyway, they came up to me and apologized and told me what was going on. Frustration is setting in on my part as I have just wasted half of my day off. I told them to put my wheels back on and I would take my business elsewhere. Should of done it but was offered some loaner wheels while they ordered me the ones I had picked. Blinded by all the chrome and a little weak from not eating all day I accepted. Big mistake.
Took 2 ½ weeks to get the wheels in, came in to get my new wheels installed figured i’d be the first one there be the first one out right? Wrong. Took almost all day AGAIN. Had a new surprise, the 2 ½ weeks of the so called loaners I thought I was paying into my new wheels. Nope. I was paying rent on the loaner wheels and none went towards my wheels. After arguing my point they did give me credit but only after I threatened with leaving again. Should of done it then too. Live and learn.
OK while giving my weekly payment for the one year contract things seemed to go smoothly, because I didn’t have to deal with them in person I payed online. Really that was the only upside to this place.

Present day 2 months after paying my wheels off. I have a flat tire. No big deal right? Wrong. Could not get any place to touch my flat tire, mom and pop places said they did not have big enough machine, ok I understood that. But went to WALMART, FIRESTONE, AND NTB (thats a whole different review) but again no one would touch them. Mind you I only have 22s not that out of the ordinary. So I remember rent a tire saying something about free flat and roadside assistance, so I made a special trip to Austin from Taylor to see them. Knowing that being early does not make that big of a difference I called the day before and asked for an appointment to have the flat fixed and since I’m going in for a flat might as well balance and rotate the wheels too. Talked to George told me in order to rotate and balance it would have to be done before 11. No problem I will be there at opening. Was there 30 minutes early and was a second person there waiting. When they opened I talked to a lady who never gave me her name but she was already in a bad mood I told her I had spoken to George and I had explained to him what I needed done. She went on a little B-​fit on how no balance and rotate services are done on Saturday. I explained that GEORGE had told me to come in before 11 and it could be done to which she replied «well his dumb ass will be back there doing it then». She told me to pull around to the bay door and wait.
2 hours of waiting and my truck finally gets taken into the service area. Still the first one in line mind you. I have a tech come in with a nail to show me what had flattened my tire. Cool, figured I’d get fixed up and on my way. But no, next thing i know i get called in to the office by a guy and i can’t remember his name, I’m really frustrated by this point. He tells me that I had not purchased the roadside insurance after my wheels were paid off. Not remembering what was on my contract that I did A YEAR AGO and them conveniently not having it either I have no proof. Have slight memory of them saying I had to purchase roadside to have a loan with them but not being sure I asked why that was a problem. He proceeded to explain that the nail that flattened my tire was rubbing the side wall and damaged it, so now I needed a new tire and it would have to come out of my pocket since I had no «stickers» for the roadside insurance. $&@/$*!&. They had me just where they wanted me. He said he would make me the best deal he could on a tire that I found cheaper at Discount by $ 5. Not having enough common sense I bought them from here anyway. I asked if I was still getting tires rotated and balanced «Of course yes sir» cause by this time I was not being real friendly either.
As I am driving home well over 4 hours later I noticed that my truck feels really rough and bouncy it was not rough or bouncy before I brought her in. By this time I have decided to go elsewhere and get real help even if I have to pay. I can honestly say I will never go back and I will never tell anyone to go to them either. I can honestly say that this has been the worst experience I have ever had.

Went here because I had a flat tire. Chose this place just because I live nearby, but I’d go back regardless. Turned out my tire could be repaired. They did the job quickly, it only cost $ 20, and they filled up my spare, which was low on air, for free. Nice people, good service, and they offered to rotate my tires for free too. I’m a broke student, so I don’t think I’ll be buying new tires or rims any time soon, but when I do I’ll come back to rent a tire.

Been a customer with them for a few years. We have had our ups and downs but in the end they always know how to hook up my vehicles with nice wheels and tires. Thanks to the entire Rent a Tire Team.

Best place ever!!! Nas is the man they helped me out soooo much worked with me on price special orders me tires with wheir their that week if u need rims and tires dont go any wheir else except here

After toying around with the idea of buying new tires for my factory rims or upgrading to new rims and tires, I decided to go with the rent a tire. I telephoned on a Thursday afternoon and spoke with Niles, he was efficient, affable, and educated about the process. I told him I was heading to Kansas City that same weekend and needed new tires and wanted rims. He told me what to bring to the store… my husband took that information and went, as I was at work. He picked out rims and tires and they were mounted the following morning and I was able to pick up my truck shortly there after. I am elated at the ease of purchase and with the awesome staff! Niles and Todd are amazing at what they do, coupled with their awesome attitudes the process could not have gone smoother!
If you live in Austin and are considering upgrading the shoes on your whip then I highly recommend making rent-​a-​tire your first stop. You too can rent to own name brand rims and tires to fit your lifestyle and your budget!

You lose the key to the locking lug nuts of your car wheels. After looking absolutely everywhere for it, needlessly blaming others and then panicking, what do you do?
After calming down, we called around, asking for help (Hubcap Annie’s, Cothron’s and then various automotive stores around town like Pep Boys, Napa, O’Reilly, etc.). No one could do anything. Finally, our go-​to mechanic, Gene Johnson Automotive, recommended we try Rent A Tire.
It’s a shop with a lot of chrome, lots of rims, very shiny. Also has tires. But we bypassed all that, and made a beeline for their helpful, efficient mechanic who had the right tools and knew exactly what to do. In about ten minutes, he had all four locking nuts off, with no collateral damage. Problem solved. It was that simple. Cost: $ 10 per tire, for a total of $ 40.
