Washington Tires & Auto Center

I had been going through major tire issues. I stumbled across this shop and initially asked for four new tires. Expecting to pay a ton of money, I met the owner (it was closing time) he advised that I didn’t need new tires just patch work. I saved me and my wallet. I definitely would go back to them for anything regarding tires.

Awesome service! My mom was visiting from out of town and blew a tire. With no spare AAA hooked her up with a ride to Washington Tires & Auto Center. They were able to get her a new tire within an hour on a Saturday saving our Mother/​Daughter weekend. I know where I’m going to go for my car maintenance needs in DC from now on.

I really like this place. I get my oil changed there on my 2015 Honda Civic. They let you provide your own oil and filter so you can save a good bit of money. There is an advanced auto parts across the street so that is simple and you can be sure you are getting the oil you want but not pay the overhead.
I have recommended this place to others and they have enjoyed it too. There typically isn’t a long wait and they don’t accept appointments but there isn’t much of a waiting room so plan to walk across the street to TJ Maxx or lunch in Rhode Island Row.

I really didn’t want to give this place a bad review because its a local and small business that’s been in the neighborhood for a while. However, they couldn’t work on my vehicle for two days to change the rotors and brake pads because there garage wasn’t big enough to perform the work indoors. When the weather improved, they couldn’t find my parts in the trunk which delayed the work being done for another day. They changed the rotors and brake pads in the front of the vehicle but when I arrived to pick up my car they said they didn’t have the machinery to do the rear pads and rotors. I paid in advance for the front and rear although there was a discrepancy about the price and services I negotiated. In the end, not only did I not get everything I paid for, but they took an extended period of time to provide poor service.

I’m so glad I found this place on Unilocal.I’d been looking for a good tire place for months, and this one exceeded my expectations. You don’t need to call to make an appointment for tire services — just show up, and you don’t have to wait long at all! I told them I had a slow leak, and they changed my tire so quickly, I was in and out between 30 – 45 minutes. They even gave me a discount on my new tire! The only unusual thing was the cat when I went inside to pay haha but that’s nothing compared to how great these guys are. The place may look a little shady, but it is truly a hidden gem. Go to locals, not chains! Chains might rip you off, whereas these guys are humble, friendly, and respectful. Thanks for being awesome.

I love this place.
I go here for everything– The owner is the coolest guy ever and they’re always willing to make you a deal on the price. Never a wait and the friendliest service.

Showed up with a tire in need of patching. They were very friendly, finished the job in less than 20 minutes and for less than $ 20! Highly recommend!

I had a pretty good experience. Tony, the technician, was very good. He switched my tire out in minutes. I planned to get a new tire but ended up getting a used tire. I hope I don’t regret this in a few months. I just wish Nathan was there when I arrived. Customer service was mediocre.

This review is long overdue. I love curbs so much so that I’m sure I lose two tires a year as a result. After horrifically going over a curb on P St and destroying my tire I did some research as to where to go.
I needed something close by that wasn’t super cheap nor crazy expensive. I saw the reviews and thought let me give this a try.
Well I am so glad I did. The guys that assisted with changing my tire were friendly. Once they finished I headed out to the back of the shop to make a payment.
That’s where I met Nathan, the owner. A hardworking guy with integrity. We chatted about all sorts of topics while I was making a payment. When he realized that his staff left my «new» tire in the front he told him to switch it to the back for FREE! He cared more about my safety than making an extra few bucks. Nathan really does care about his customers and prefers a business ran on ethics. A win win if you tell me.
Very satisfied and will continue to go there for all my tire needs. Since I’ll be due to hit a curb in the next few months or so.

They were very kind and helpful. I was impressed with the quick and friendly service. Will be back!

$ 25 to plug two holes in less than 10 minutes on a busy Friday afternoon. Staff is experienced. Pricing is more than fair and transparent with prices posted for all to see. You can’t buy experience.

They won’t answer the phone and I need 4 new tires, guess I’ll try Pep Boys

Nathan and his team are the best! Very prompt and reliable service. Great price for a wheel plug! Highly recommended.

Great service! Great price! I had a quick experience after blowing out a tire. They had the tires I needed (new or used). I recommend this tire spot.

Excellent service for an affordable price. The manager (Nathan) is a standup guy. Got my tires changed — quick and easy and was back on the road in minutes. Definitely recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for auto repairs.

I haven’t used his services, but when I called him he answered the phone while driving (sorry!) on his lunch break, answered some questions and made some referrals. Extremely helpful and friendly.

I was happy with my services, the owner Nathan, gave me great advice and recommendations on for what I was looking to spend. I went there for tires and left with tires, he didn’t try to sell me more then what I wanted. He’s a great man to do service with. I will return when I need work on my car.

Best tire place in DC, matter a fact the whole DMV! I am a repeat customer and will be a repeat customer. I recommend this place to anyone.

Great price, great service, great info, and great people. Nathan gave me a referral for a discounted alignment and offered an in-​house discount on future tire rotations as well. Desmond replaced all four tires for me while I waited, and he was very quick and courteous.
This place is definitely not much to look at from the outside, so you might think it’s not a quality establishment — but you’d be wrong! I’d recommend anyone nearby to get their work done here. The prices make it worth driving to even if it’s not in your neighborhood.

I had been nursing a slow leak for a couple of days when I noticed Washington Tires as I was leaving the Home Depot across the street.
Turns out I had two nails in my tire. I don’t know why I seem to be especially gifted in picking up nails. Anyhow, everyone was very nice, no pressure to do anything more than fix the tire. The tire was repaired very quickly and I was back on the road within an hour.
What I hadn’t noticed until after the tire was off the car was that it was after their closing time of 7pm. And it had to have already been after 7 when I got there. Not one person said a word about closing time. Nobody checked their watch (or phone). No one said we need to hurry this up. They just took their time and fixed my tire.
These days good customer service is so hard to get unless you’re spending lots of cash and sometimes even then the service is shabby. But I am a returning customer. These people are really nice.
