Lupita’s Tires & Wheels

Well they are a little higher than other used tire shops but they had what I needed when others didn’t

This place is a terrible place, we had a flat tire and came here hoping to get I fix. They quoted us 80 $ for a used tire, which we both came to an agreement. After 20 minutes of waiting, they finally found one. They told me since I’m closing soon, I’m going to have to sell you this tire for 100 $. I told them you quoted 80 $, but then agree to their 100 $ price. Then they told me cash only, I told them 100 $ I’ll pay on card or 80 $ I’ll pay cash. Not only they raise the price on the tire, they were unwilling to work with us. After we said no he threw our flat tire on the ground and told us rudely to leave. This is not how a business suppose to work with their customer. Please save your time, don’t go here. We went to Walmart only cost us 74 $ installed and tired balance.

WOW!!! This place is awesome! Said nobody ever. I arrived in need of a tire. We came to an agreement on $ 80 for a used tire. He then continued searching high & low through their inventory, which was located in the parking lot behind a flimsy fence. After 20 mins finding the correct tires, he returned and told me $ 100. We were hesitant at first then just decided to go with it. After they proceeded to take off my tires, he asked how we were gonna pay. We said with a card. They said they don’t take card. We however had $ 80 cash on us. They wouldn’t take it. So they stopped working on my tire and threw it on the floor and said «Okay, we closing». We went to Walmart and bought a new tire for $ 74 with balance. NEVER GO HERE.

I hate to put in bad reviews but this tire place Lupitas well deserves a bad review. The guys that work there are crooks and don’t care for a customers need but themselves getting paid.
They charge for air and just to check for nails on a tire. Last time I was there, they charged me $ 5 for them to check for a nail and to pump air on one tire. And my problem wasn’t fixed and only took cash. And while I was still there waiting for my wheel to be put back on, a Hispanic couple pulls up and they left me with no tire on to take care of this couple. And while I was waiting, they were chatting in there language and laughing as if they were talking about me.
I calmed down and let it slide. So they took the couple in for service and finished up my deal. Seems to me that they are in business to take care of there own people.
I STRONGLY & DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PIECE OF S@&T place if your looking for wheel and tire service, unless your Hispanic.

Came to replace a flat tire I had my spare on and was sold a used tire for 70 $ they changed the tire out and once I left my car began to shake I could feel it in the steering wheel and I eventually made it to discount tire and realized that they didn’t even balance the TIRE… wow not to mention my other tire was low on air… They didn’t care to make sure I left as a satisfied or safe customer. Discount tire aired my tires and balanced everything FOR FREE and are much more professional and that’s why they are successful business although lipitas is a small company they can at the very least provide service that a customer pays for SMH do not recommend…

Here’s my story… I pulled in with a left rear flat tire on a Honda Accord. A mechanic jacked up the car and pulled off the tire. He saw a nail and said «can’t fix it need new tire». He called over another guy and he said «You can buy one for $ 60.00 or I can put your spare on». I asked if it would be the same type per mfg. spec and he said «close enough».
I didn’t need to waste $ 60 bucks on a «close enough» used tire when the tire on the my Honda was only $ 85 new from discount tire.(which I am going to tomorrow).
He then walked away with my car in the air on his jack, so I opened my trunk, took out my spare, mounted it on my car, finger tight installed the nuts and was going for my lug wrench when the mechanic came back, grabbed the Pneumatic wrench and tightened up the lugs and lowered the car from its hydraulic jack.
The other guy again walked over and said «$ 7 bucks for changing your tire!» I said are you kidding me?! All you did was jack up the car and take off the tire (less than what a free brake inspection would do) I installed the spare and put away the old. My hands are the ones that got dirty.
He said «look I didn’t tell you you could use my stuff (which I never touched), my tools, my shop, you are not my friend you need to pay me for this. I am a small business I don’t survive on favors».
I gave him a $ 20.00 bill and asked for a receipt… which he hand wrote on a little ticket book then pulled $ 13.00 cash from his front pocket, and put my $ 20.00 in his pocket. He didn’t charge or record sales tax or at least reference that on his little handwritten receipt.
So is this all that bad? Not if I lived in a society that rude behavior and price gouging is a standard for doing business. But since we don’t and as long as I can vote with my wallet, I chose companies that earn my business by being professional, neighborly, trustworthy, and ethical. Hopefully this helps someone save time, frustration, and money.

If I can select zero stars they would get it. First, I bought two rear tires. Immediately from leaving their business, my tire got flat in Lacey. I had to call my insurance company to change my tire into a spare to drive all the way back to federal way. Then they put new tires on. Now less then one month later, the other rear tire is so horribly messed up, that I had to buy another one. I paid cash so I never got a receipt. They didn’t want to cooperate with me when I called, hung up on me, falsely stated that they would look for a receipt that never was given. I not only will leave such a negative review, but will complain to the BBB & St Attorney General Office as well.

Stopped by to replace couple tires. Got a quote for $ 90 each, I asked for discount, young man lowered the price to $ 80 each and he was very lewd. I called another used tire shop, they installed both tires for$ 100 with great service and a positive attitude.

Oh Lupita! How I love thee, I have sent over every car that I’ve owned, my mother’s car, and various of mi amigos coche here as well. A friend of mine got four new tires on his Toyota for roughly a little over 200 bucks! Forget Les Schwab or however you spell their names, I’ve been trying to make sure that my money goes to small businesses, and this small business receives all the respect that I can possibly think of.
