Rubio Used Tires

I went to Rubios to get my tire plugged and after a week I noticed the same nail in the same tire. I went back to Rubios today and they charged me $ 10 Again and the employee informed me that my tire has not been plugged prior to today. Untrustworthy business. DO NOT GO THERE

I have been to Rubio’s twice and both experiences were great. The first visit was to get a flat replace and they were quick and reasonably priced. The second was today, I ran over a screw and tried to get it fixed by 3 places that all told me I would have to by a new $ 200 tire. Rubio’s plugged the flat in less than 5 minutes for $ 10. It was awesome to get if fixed and so quickly. I will go to Rubio’s anytime I have a tire problem.

I’ve visited the Rubio’s on Williams Rd. in the past and they now have another location at the corner of Williams and S. High St. I went to that location today because I got a flat this morning. Drove there on my donut tire to see if they had a good, used tire for my car in the size I needed.
The man working (I’m so sorry I didn’t get his name) looked at my car, then went back inside to see if he had a tire for me. He brings one out that looked really decent with a good amount of tread on it. He pointed out that it was dirty and I said no problem, I have tire cleaner at home.
He then looked at my flat tire that was in the trunk and inspected it. He found the hole (more like a gash). I’d hit something metal (I heard the metal clanking when I ran over it) and also found a small area of my rim that was slightly bent. He said he would fix that for me, which he did. Then he asked me what a reasonable price would be. Who does THAT these days, I ask you? I said, «Really, you tell me what you want for the tire.» He replied, «Is $ 25 okay?» I said, «Perfect, go ahead and put it on.»
He got the tire on my car and I went inside to pay to find out they’re cash only. I only had $ 15 on me. I gave him the $ 15 and then proceeded to pull out my license to give to him to hold, telling him I needed to run to the bank to get the rest of what I owed him. He said leaving my license with him wasn’t necessary, that he trusted me to come back with the money. I said cool and told him I’d be back in less than 15. I went to my bank’s ATM and drew out $ 40, then went back. I handed him a $ 20 and he went to reach into his pocket to give me back $ 10 and I held my hand up and said, «No, you keep that.» He said, «Are you sure?» And I said, «Yes, you helped me out today and even trusted me to come back with the rest of your money. Not everyone would do that.»
Nice people, dedicated to their business, they get you in and out quickly and even trusted a complete stranger to ‘leave for the bank, then come back with the rest of the cash’ when I could have very easily just driven away and never looked back which, unfortunately, some morons in this world would have done.
Thanks, guys.

These guys are great. They have fast service. I went there the other day to get a nail out of my back tire on my Ford Focus. He pulled it out then plugged it without me getting out of the car. It took him all of 5 minutes from start to finish. And ten dollars to plug a tire sounds great compared to the 65 i’d have had to pay had it gone flat on me. These mexican guys know tires and I’d recommend them to anyone on the south end of Columbus in need of tire repair. I once went in there because I thought i had a leak and he took my tire off and checked it and since it didnt have a leak he didnt charge me. So like i said these are good honest guys and thats rare to find.
