Trinidad Fix Flat

Great value on some tires. Good people, they always treat me courteous and respectful anytime I go there weather it’s for a flat tire fix or wheels, tires etc. You can can guarantee a 5 stars service from them.

I went to Trinidad to get new tires because I was due for inspections. Bought 4 new tires almost $ 600. When I’m driving one of the center pieces to my rim was raddling. When I checked it, it was broken were the screw holds. Accouple days later I go put brakes on the other center piece is also broken. I go to Trinidad, manager is too busy to talk to me. Come find out my rims and center caps are no longer manufactured by Metal FX but, found a place on line that can remake them if I send a center piece that’s in good condition. So I take one off the back rim and guess what I find broken and cracked and when I turned it around it has some type of black stuff I guess to glue it together. My center caps were replaced with damaged ones. I will never, repeat never, go or recomend this location. If you decide to go, stand there and watch your property. I’ve had my rims for years and took good care of them and it’s a shame that I go spend all this money on tires and it ends up costing me much more with having to order center pieces to my rims that’s going to cost me another $ 320 when mines were in good condition. Sad, very sad. For all that I could’ve bought me new rims and tires. The one star is because the young lady in the front was very friendly.

I’ve been here and also to the location on Torresdale… even tho it looks to be in the barrio the prices are good as well as the selection;

Great place to get a used tire. Fair prices, friendly service, quick and easy. I got my second tire from there today. All done in less than 30 minutes.

I took my Nissan Pathfinder SUV to my to my trusted mechanic for inspection. It needed two tires. Since «new» tires are $ 120 each, I inquired about used tires. I was told about Trinidad’s. I called, and found out they had tires in the right size. ($ 35 each). What I was not told was that it is CASH ONLY. (No, I don’t carry $ 70 in my wallet.) Conveniently, there is a corner market across the street with an ATM machine. Tires were put on, I paid the $ 70, and asked for a receipt. The receipt (a kitchen check) indicated that I got two tires for $ 70 (with no warranty, no refund, and no indication whatsoever that it came from a place called Trinidad’s, no phone number, or address.) Back I go to the mechanic (15 minute ride) to get my inspection stickers, and he informs me that the tires I got were dry rotted, and not safe. So, back I went to Trinidad’s, and told them about it. I did get two different tires that passed inspection. Tires went on quickly and I was on my way. Although the service was quick, I am unhappy that they would provide something so unsafe for a critical component of a car, not to mention the inconvenience. Hard to trust an operation like that.

I discovered a nail in my tire on Sunday around noon. This was one of the few shops open for repairs. The car was in and out in 10 minutes. Great service, and personable staff. They have my 100% recommendation for tire repair. Thanks!

I’ve been to the tire shop in this location, not sure if it has been called Trinidad the entire time, a number of times over the years and I’ve always been happy with the results. While I’ve never purchased tires here (I’m a tire snob and I’m sure they don’t know what Nokian Hakkapeliittas are, let alone sell them), but plugging a leak for $ 5 can’t be beat by any of the tire store chains. I’ve also been there for basic mounting/​dismounting and satisfied with the service and very satisfied with the price.

I called to make sure they had the right size tires for my vehicle before I headed down. They checked and told me that they did.
I called again a few minutes later just to confirm and to tell them that I was on my way. They told me a second time that they had the tires that I needed.
Five minutes later, when I got there, they didn’t have the tires that I needed.
I gave them an extra star because they helped my wife back the car up out of their driveway.

Got a hole plugged for $ 5 and it seems to be going fine. Replaced a flat with a used tire on another vehicle for $ 30 since the other side had a little life left on it still. The first one they picked out didn’t hold air, so they got me out a different one that’s been fine.
Two notes: 1) The place is pretty much in the ghetto, so be aware of that. 2) Dropping a tip on the guy is nice and likely leads to your getting a better selection.

Speaking about the plug-​job, after two weeks and a long trip to Pittsburgh, air pressure remained perfect in the tire. Is this a permanent fix? Most mechanics will scoff at that and say no. I, on the other hand, moved the tire to the rear and will run on it until the tread wears out. It’s a good patch job for 5 $, and I’ll continue to drive on it, although take heed a lack of reviews from me. If reviews be empty from I for close to a year, be wary mate, stay clear.

I’m giving this tire dealer two stars after two visits.
The first time was very good, but I just stopped in to get a simple flat fixed. It was a tiny hole where a screw punctured my tire. The teenage boy working in back fixed it quickly and did a great job. It’s held up for several months now. Cost with tip was just $ 5.
Unfortunately I decided to go again when I needed to replace a bad tire that was unrepairable, due to sidewall damage. Before I could inquire about my options the guy whipped out a used tire and offered it to me for $ 25. It had a good bit of tread left and I figured it had to be decent enough to last a month, which would give me time to research the best new tire at the best price.
Next day I found the tire had gone flat overnight. I blew a can of fix-​a-​flat into it. If a tire has a small hole it’ll usually seal it up nice. But as the sealant came bubbling out I saw that the tire they sold me had multiple holes, and they weren’t small enough for the fix-​a-​flat to handle. One was at least two inches long. It looked like the tire had been slashed between the treads.
Apparently the folks at this shop sold me someone else’s old dead tire, without even taking the time to check it or patch it. I can only imagine that the bad tire they took off my car will wind up on some other sucker’s car, with the bulging sidewall turned inward so it can’t be seen.
I was so annoyed I didn’t even go back to waste time haggling about it. I did what I should have done in the first place: went to Sears and bought a matched set of nice new front tires with a lifetime warranty.
You can chide me for expecting a decent used tire for $ 25, but considering that they didn’t bother checking the tire and fixing it before they sold it at any price, I don’t think I’m wrong in warning people against gambling on this outfit.
Maybe if you have a slow leak that needs fixing they might be good for that, since the teenager seems to know what he’s doing and he’s fast.

Good place for quick flat fix service. Decent price ($ 30) for a used car-​van tire.
In & Out service without the usual chit-​chat amongst their own while you wait clueless!
