Affordable Tires

5 star friendly service for local independent shop. Had some tires and wheels swapped and aligned for honest price. Will come back again for the tire fix/​flat.

Got all 4 tires replaced from here this morning. This was definitely the best overall experience I ever had w.r.t to tire change. My choice of tires needed to be ordered and Mohammad didn’t charge anything extra for the tires. he passed on the tires to at cost (I saw the order). Got excellent price for the model of tires I was looking for (michelin pilot sport a/​s 3) compared to the prices i saw in other stores and online. He charged only for install and balancing. Very courteous customer service… tire change was taken care of quickly. Came across as very honest and more interested in getting your repeat business rather than make a quick buck out of you. Would highly recommend this place.

Really cool dude. They known their stuff – Spit flames of tire knowledge and really fast service!
They have all the quality tire brands. I bought my tires here;I had a huge nail in my tire a year later and came back and he dropped what he was doing and took care of my issue like a phantom… Great service 2 out of 2 times!

Wais is GREAT! Had a vibration in my car and thought it was time for tire balancing. Went to a tire place on Mowry and was told I needed a new tire as the inside tread of my rear passenger tire was gone, causing the vibration and this was normal wear for my type of car. Decided to check Unilocal and took my car to Affordable Tires and met Wais who looked at my tires and told me the wear was due to poor alignment, not normal wear and tear for my car. He found me 4 matching tires with 75% tread and charged me $ 220 total compared to $ 750 from the other place for new tires. Wais so friendly and informative AND VERY NICE! Had a good time joking and laughing, he felt like an old friend! Will definitely be back for alignments, new batteries and, of course, tires. Have already recommended this place to several friends. Thank you, Wais!!! It was a real pleasure!

Visited this place a month a go to get two tires replaced, since my car is old i did not feel like spending a lot for a car that will go out of service in couple of years.
I’ve dealt with used tires before in new york, so i know what to look for and when sales person tries to cheat you.
Experience:
Owner is very friendly and honest guy. When i came over and mentioned i need to change 2 tires, he had a good one in the stock and while he had another tire of same brand/​model — it had more usage and would not last as long. He advised me not to get, instead — come back next day and he will find another tire that has less wear. I was surprised to hear this and thought — lets give it a shot… in previous experience dealing with tire shops on east coast– they will just sell you whatever they have, here it was different.
Came back next day, he found a second pair as promised. Installed and balanced 2 tires for $ 100 in record 30 minutes. Now i know a tireshop in fremont i can goto if i ever have tire issues.

Gave me a tire with patch charged me 50 dollars and I end up getting new tire from some where els totally rip off

I came in yesterday because I needed a tire fast since mine blew out. Omar took care of me and gave me a really good deal. Customer service was great, and service was done fast. I do recommend this place.

Great place. Knowledgeable, excellent customer service, great tire options and rates. I like doing business with good businesses like this. I was in a jam trying to make a Doctors appointment but had a flat. They helped me problem solve and get a comparatively inexpensive tire fast before ordering a new set. I knew I needed a new set before I came (tires are totally threaded out) but needed something fast and of a quality I still felt safe with. They quickly did everything I asked and more and I’ll be getting my new tires here now too.

Called these people half hour before 2 tires had to be changed. Mohamed and wais took care of me without a hitch and was very pleased to see their friendlier behavior.
I brought my own tires to be put in and they were on it instantly.
I would definitely come back again… Kudos to them all. Big o and others can learn from them.

4 stars for prompt service! Affordable tires, though the name may be misleading, offers services in tire repairs as well. We initially went to Les Schwab but it would’ve taken 45 minutes over there; affordable tires repaired my tire in less than 10 minutes! They wanted to charge me $ 20 for plugging, but of course for that method anything over $ 15 would’ve been ridiculous… so we haggled down to $ 15. It’s mainly personal preference and I’d prefer patching over plugging any day, but considering all factors Affordable Tires did a wonderful job.

I made my initial inquiry by phone. The guy was very accommodating even though he was busy (sounded like he was busy noises in the background). Anyway, he asked for my number so he could call me back with the prices. To be continued…

Let me start off by saying I wasn’t really planning on going to Affordable Tires today. I have a discount tire shop that I use but for some reason they weren’t answering their phone. I am thanking my lucky stars that they didn’t today.
The backstory…
I have a 2012 Mazda 3 iTouring with stock Bridgestone Turanza EL400−02s on them. I have 40,000 miles on my car and, with a bad front alignment, you can imagine how tore up my front tires are. Last night while driving I heard a repeating thump coming from my front tire and to my dismay, I discovered a HUGE bolt in my tire. Thinking that since it was in the tread area I’d be fine with just a patch, I didn’t sweat it too much.
Well, you remember how I said my tires are stock and have 40,000 miles on them? Yeah, since they are worn on one of the shoulders no tire repair facility would actually touch them. Instead I was told I needed to replace my tire. I wasn’t having that so I decided to look for a tire repair facility in North Fremont that would actually repair my tire just so I could get through a couple weeks until I could buy new ones. It was during this search that I discovered Affordable Tires right here on Unilocal.
After a brief phone call I made the drive in to the shop. I talked with the mechanic and he said he *could* repair my tire — for $ 30 — or he could replace it with a mostly new used tire for $ 50. After he confirmed that he had a good stock of P205/​55 R16s in stock, I told him to hook it up.
He went to the shelf to grab some tires for me to choose from and he came back a little disappointed that he couldn’t find a matching pair (I had asked him to replace both front tires). As we were talking, however, the other mechanic heard our discussion and pointed out that he had taken in a Bridgestone recently. He had seen another Bridgestone on the floor that I was looking at and wanted to match brand. When he brought the tire down from the rack I was amazed to find that he did indeed match the tire that was on the floor AND both of THOSE tires matched what was on my car!
A half hour and $ 100 laters I drove off with two almost brand new Bridgestone Turanza EL400−02s, mounted and balanced and installed. I couldn’t be happier with the service, the candor and the speed in which my situation was dealt. I give Affordable Tires an A+ and I WILL be coming back.

RETURNING CUSTOMER A++
Mohammad and Wais once again came to my rescue. Couple of my tires were showing wire already and Needed tires ASAP since its starting to rain and this is my main car now. Safety is my main issue so I was desperate for a set of rubbers to last me until I re do my suspensions and rims.
I made a quick call to them and Wais offered me multiple options. I ended up choosing really good Continentals for my BMW that were the perfect staggered set up with my wheels. they helped me out and gave me an awesome price for all 4 tires with balancing and mounting out the door.
My car was finished in a timely manner and I drove off happy just in time because right after I left their lot, it started pouring rain. Didnt bother me anymore since Mo and Wais helped me once again!

Thanks guys! See you guys again.

Mouhamad was awesome, professional and friendly. I got lucky and nobody was in line ahead of me, He said around 45 for the change, which was good timing ’cause it mean I could head over to the Afghan Kabob house for lunch! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great deal tires. thank you for your service! I will come again.

So, a funny thing happened to me on the way to the office… ok a not so funny thing. I start driving for my usual commute, when I notice my car doing the gangsta lean. Except it wasn’t so gangsta. My left rear tire was flat. So, I call work and let them know I was unable to make it. I use Unilocal to find a tire place and noticed the 5-​star Unilocal reviews for Affordable Tires. Noticing that they didn’t open until 9am, I got to catch a few extra zzzz’s! Anyways, a little before 9, I jump in my car figuring it isn’t too far away and that I could just drive it there. Well, I get lost, start smelling burnt rubber, and hundreds of drivers were waving at me to look at my tire. I pull over, and to my horror, my tire was donezo! (see picture). I call Affordable Tires, who sends Mohammed to my rescue. He not only changed my tire, he breaks down step by step how to do it. After the tire is changed, I follow him to the shop. He and Wais show me the different tires. I purchased 4 brand new tires (not name brand) for a great price! I remember paying not too much less for ONE tire at a well known place in U. C and significantly more for 3 tires at a place in Hayward. This shop is clean and the guys are so helpful and nice. Oh, Mohammed showed me pics of his horse that he says he «loves». Any one who loves animals is super cool in my book.

I’ve been to many tire shops so far, but this was somehow different. It felt like i am shopping at my uncle’s place. They were so friendly from the first moment. They helped me a lot, and they had good prices. They even took the car for alignment even though it wasn’t a service they offer on spot. And since the alignment may take up to 2 hours, they even dropped me to my house instead of making me wait there. Even though i was only 10 mins away from the store, and there was no crowd waiting there; it was a an experience to share with other fellow tire shoppers. This place is highly recommended!

Muhammad and Wais helped me out big time. They were able to work with me price wise. Very nice and good people. They made sure I was taken care of and happy with my purchase.

Saturday afternoon is not an ideal time to find oneself with car troubles. This is why when my car suffered a flat tire thirty miles from home, I thought I was in dire straits.
Fortunately, when I searched for help, Affordable Tires was open until 5:30 on Saturday. I phoned them. They encouraged me to come on down without an appointment. I showed up, they diagnosed my tire in two minutes, fixed it in ten, and had me on the road again in fifteen minutes flat.
I got good value for service that was capable, efficient, and friendly. I would not have asked for more. If I’m again in Fremont and need help with tires, I won’t go anywhere else.

My husband’s review:
This is the first 5-​star I’ve given in all my reviews and I don’t write too many. The guys at this place rock!
I needed one 255÷40−17 tire and called a bunch of places using Unilocal.Only 1 place had it in stock but I wanted a used tire since it was going to be a spare;no need to spend a ton of dough on a tire sitting in the trunk. I was about to give up and just buy a new one but I figure I’d try one more place. I was leery of calling this place since they only had 1 review but I thought I’d give it a shot. I called them and the guy said they had a couple of the size I needed.
It was right next to AAMCO and Dale Hardware in Fremont so it wasn’t hard to find. I was greeted by Wais and told him I spoke to Muhammad. Both of them were pretty cool and easy to talk to which eased my worries. An elder lady was there getting a couple of tires and they were really nice to her; something I usually don’t see at autoshops.
Anyways, Wais let me pick the tire I wanted from their selection. I ended up getting a Potenza tire that had some pretty good tread life. Both of them were pretty funny and jovial. I was in and out in less than half an hour.
Awesome service, nice tire and a great price. I would highly recommend this place.

This past Thursday I visited this facility,
I was looking for good quality, prices and selection, they have all of the above plus a great customer service, the manager WAIS was very knowledgable about tires
They have great selection of new and used tires, I have plan to visit this place agin and recommend to my friends and family
