Nate Jones Tire

I’ve been dealing w/​Nate for forty years and he’s the man when it comes to tires, balancing, and suspension. He’s worked on my classic cars, my Tahoe’s. my wife’s car, you name it he’s worked on it. As another rating mentioned, don’t let the appearance of the place fool you. He and his staff know their stuff. I’ve even seen some of Jay Leno’s cars in there for work.

I had a tire replaced on my Subaru and needed it shaved to match the specs of the other 3. Nate Jr. was great to talk to and generally a friendly guy. Highly reccomended!

Got a couple nails in one of my tires and the tire shop couldn’t repair. Long story short some how I got a free tire, but found out it’s not good for my Subaru to have tires with different tread depths. Brought it to Nate Jones and he shaved my new tire down to the correct depth in about an hour. Great customer service.

If you have an issue with your tire — don’t care what kind of issue, don’t care what kind of tire — take it here. They’ll tell you exactly what the problem is, lay out all of your options in a clear way, let you make a decision and perform the work flawlessly and for a fair price. At least that’s my experience, and apparently the experience of every Unilocaler that’s been there.

nate jones is a tire genius. no non-​sense. this shop is outstanding at tire type problems. there is not a more knowledgeable person on earth, when it comes to tires. what ever your tire problems or needs let these guys have at it. you will not be disappointed. jay leno has his tires all done over here. you know why? he trusts know one else. a++++++++++

This shop was described to me as sort of having the «Sandford and Son» look… and it did. It also is staffed by the friendliest and most knowledgeable staff I have ever met in the auto repair business. I met Nate, Nate Jr. John and a couple other guys and they made a great impression on me. I don’t have any cars like Jay Leno and many of their regular customers do but my Subaru Forester rides perfectly well now that Nate Jr. trued my tire. I had never heard of tire truing before I need it. :)

Don’t let the humble appearance of this place keep you away. I heard from several «car guys» that Nate, (and Nate Jr.) were the folks to see for the best truing and balancing of tires in the Western states. They were correct.
I gave them a difficult job to do and they performed flawlessly. My 1933 Ford hot rod pickup with bias ply tires on the front and 9 inch wide bias ply slicks on the rear needed balancing. I was so impressed that I came back the next week with my 2006 Corvette and had the tires tried and balanced.
Doing 2 vehicles, 8 wheels, seemed a bit pricey but is actually economical in the long run. Regular tire shops do not start out with getting the tires round. They just mask the problems by adding more wheel weights which does not address the out-​of-​round issue.
Nate balances wheels and tires for 460 mph Bonneville cars, so I am sure you will like the job he does for you!
8÷25÷15 edit: Nate has now trued the tires on 4 of my cars with the same excellent service. His shop is now a block away on the Redondo Bl and Reservoir corner, same phone number.

This little unassuming Tire Shop is the REAL DEAL. Upon approaching this little shack of a business, I was left wondering if I had come to the right place. However, coming HIGHLY recommended from people in the biz… I decided to give it a shot with my classic Jaguar. After all, I had nothing to lose considering the half-​wits at other tire shops had no idea on how to install tubed tires. Some of the other places not only shredded my tubes but also attempted to install new tubeless tires onto spoked wheels (with no tube)! ACKKKK!!!
Well Nate Jones has a bunch of Land Speed records, and specializes in classic cars and motorcycles. He is the one who invented and perfected the practice of balancing wheels WHILE they are still on your car. He even has special machines to shave race tires to specific race enhanced profiles. JAY LENO uses this guy for many of his classic Duesenbergs, Cords, etc. What more need I say. If you need any tire work done… especially on a classic or a race car… Nate Jones is the man.
