I visited Tire Town around 1:15pm as a walk-in appointment and asked them to assess (and hopefully repair) my tire suffering from a slow leak. I was out the door by 2pm with an air tight tire! Further still, they fixed my problem for the amazingly affordable price of $42!I am thoroughly impressed with my experience here. The staff were friendly and courteous with every customer they interacted with, both on the phone and in person.I strongly recommend Tire Town to *anyone* in need of tire services. They do fantastic work for an affordable price and with excellent customer service.(Picture attached: the unwelcome pointy hitchhiker I picked up on a gravel road.)
We were traveling to Michigan for a family wedding. Our Ford Expedition hit a 3ft piece of a steel rod and it punctured our front left tire. The closest place on the way was Tire Town. The price was very competitive and these guys were great- had us back on the road in 45 minutes! Would have loved to visit State College for other reasons besides needing new tires, so we recommend them!
Pleased that Eric and the Tire Town tecnicians asked to assess a low tire with a screw in it I expected to replace recommended a repair. They safety inspected all four tires and had me out in less than an hour for less than $40 with a simple permanent repair. Not many shops you can rely on to sell you just what you need not what they can push. When I need to replace the tires on my truck Ill return to Tire Town.
I have dealt with this place twice, They have really good quality of services and theyre honest and polite. Great staff
Tire Town is awesome. They have amazing service and are the best all around garage for service, tires, inspections etc. in State College. They are friendly on the phone and in person. They are great at scheduling, always finish on time and are great at getting you in and out quickly and efficiently. I cant recommend them enough. I wouldnt go anywhere else for my car service needs so long as theyre able do it! Their prices are also great!I changed my tires here, changed my oil here, and did my yearly inspection. I also fixed a puncture here once. Theyre honestly the best. Dont even think about going anywhere else. Avoid places like Monro at all cost!
Wonderful place! Super friendly staff, transparent pricing and fast service.
I stopped at Tire Town and purchased new tires for my suv Ernie told me what would be the best tire. So I went back today and said I can’t wait so they put the new tires on and what excellent care they all do for customers. In and out of there in about an hour and a half. And while driving home it was like the smoothest and awesome ride . I feel a lot safer with my new tires. Thank you all at Tire Town ! Charles Reighard
Even though I came in during a rush of customers my vehicle had four new tires in an hour and 30 minutes, great staff, fair prices.
Great customer service! Discovered a gigantic nail protruding from my tire while visiting my PSU student. Her friend recommended Tire Town, so I gave them a call. No appointment necessary for a nail-in-the-tire situation. (Always check first, just in case Wile E. Coyote dumped a case of acme tacks on the road and there are other drivers in your predicament!). Done in less than an hour! One regret: I should have brought a sandwich to enjoy while sitting in their outdoor tailgate chairs on this lovely day!
Amazing service!!! They were super nice and very professional! They did a walk-in for 4 tires on my Camry and only waited about 30 or so minutes! Very fast! I will definitely be coming back to them!
They went out of their way to quickly help me, someone who doesnt even live in their area, so that I could get home after a breakdown in time to get to work.And they ended up making less money because my car got towed to a nearby auto dealer to install my four new tires because the car manufacturers screwup required fixing their defective part first.lncredible fast and friendly service by nice people for someone who couldnt be a repeat customer because I live in another state many states away.
Been a customer for over 3+ years now and Ive regularly got some tire related work done. Either getting my tires replaced or swapping my summer and winter wheels. They do a fantastic job with the work and with the customer service. I really take care of my car and often watch them do the work and I couldnt be more satisfied.
I had a fantastic experience with the Tire Town crew. I came into the shop without an appointment after just having to jump-start my car, and the guys were able to inspect the car, replace the battery, and pump up the air in my tires (without me asking) within a time span of fifteen minutes.All of the employees were very friendly and professional as well, along with following the appropriate COVID guidelines. I will definitely be returning for all of my car-related needs in the future. Thank you!
Very quick and professional, explained what was wrong with my tire and didnt overcharge.
Tire Town always treats us right. Prices are competitive and they are highly knowledgeable and honest. Five stars!
I have nothing but good things to say about Tire Town. I’m a college student, a woman, kind of petite, and pretty obviously know next to nothing about cars, so I’m always worried that auto mechanics will try to take advantage of my ignorance. But the guys at Tire Town always take time to explain to me exactly what was wrong with my car and what they did to fix it, and never talk down at me for not knowing about auto repair.About a year ago, I lost traction during a snowy morning and slammed against a curb, denting the rim of my front driver-side wheel and causing a leak in my tire. It was dented pretty badly, and I was dreading having to spend hundreds of dollars to replace it, but one of the guys at Tire Town told me that they managed to bend it back into place and I haven’t had any problems with my wheel or tire since. They certainly could’ve told me it was absolutely busted and that I needed a new wheel, and I would’ve believed them, but they didn’t.Today my car battery died and I was freaking out about not being able to get an appointment with TT quickly, because I need my car to get to work and was planning to drive down to my parents’ house for Christmas in three days. Tire Town is usually pretty busy, so I was preparing myself for only being able to get an appointment after Christmas. But they told me that if I could get it jumped, I could drop it off and they’d get it back to me as soon as possible. When I got it to them, they got my car in their garage almost immediately and got me in and out with a new battery in half an hour. I was surprised and extremely grateful at their urgency and efficiency.I always recommend Tire Town to any of my friends in State College who need car maintenance. Im glad to have found an auto repair shop that I feel comfortable at!
I had a bad experience here. The customer service is horrible and they take forever to get the work done. I was there for 2 hours for a simple job that shouldve taken about 30 minutes. They were also rude whenever I asked any questions.
The folks at Tire Town are amazingly nice, extremely helpful, and generous!!I got stuck in a parking lot across the street from their shop, and came in (on a whim) asking about a tow; without missing a beat, they dropped what they were doing and assembled a team of strong guys to come help lift the car out of its predicament. Saved my morning!!I will definitely send them my business in the future. Awesome people.
I tell you what, I was in from out of town. About 3 hours out. With a very specific car, that required a very specific Tire. This place was the only place in or around me that can facilitate my one special tire that I needed, to get me in and get me back on the road within a half an hour. To give you a little bit of a background, I have worked in, and own mechanic shops my entire life. My career, what I do is to work with mechanic shops all across the country. And I tell you what, the shop here even though I was only there one time, facilitated everything I needed, with my specific Tire, in my time frame, to get me back on the road and back down to Baltimore with in no time. These guys are the real deal, Im very particular about where I take my car. But if for whatever reason I am back in this area, and I need anything, this is the place Im taking it too. Thank you all so much for getting me in, and getting me out with an amazing time frame.
Had something in my tire drove down to them and in half an hour I was already out the door at an amazing price! Love these guys!!
Good, speedy service with a nice environment and atmosphere. Good prices too.
Just stopped by to get the air pressure adjusted in my tires now that cold weather has arrived, but I have had other work done here previously. The staff is always friendly and professional, and seem eager to provide good service. Recommended.
Went here for a car inspection and oil change. The staff were friendly and helpful, not at all pushy, service was prompt, and there are many shops and things within walking distance for while you wait. Was given a very easy to understand readout of services rendered and what the car still needed. They affixed a small sticker on the windshield stating at what mileage to return for my next oil change (which I appreciate as someone who loses track of those sorts of things). I will definitely return to Tire Town for future inspections and oil changes.
Wicked fast on a flat tire service
Always thorough, and friendly. Tire work with no appointments makes it like a pit stop!
We were in State College for an appointment and experienced low tire pressure. We found Tire Town on Google and I was so impressed with their service! They found a screw in our tire, made the repair, and we were out the door in less than 45 minutes! Cost less than $30! Great service!!!!!
Dropped my car off for a flat and went shopping at Wegmans. They had everything ready to go by the time I finished shopping. Excellent service!
This is the best auto repair shop Ive ever visited.The service is excellent. The customer service representatives are friendly. The prices are lower than comparable estimates at dealer service departments. You can even walk in and theyll start diagnosing the car immediately, whereas at dealers an appointment is usually necessary.
Fast and friendly. Walk in and out in one hour.
They were very professional and they were very affordable. I would definitely recommend them. They do very good work.
Trusted service and quality. They arent pushy with sales. If they tell you they need to repair something or you need to replace something....do it. They know what they are talking about. I trust them with my family car.
Excellent service. Quick, efficient, everyone was nice. Really really good with following CDC guidelines for COVID19.
Fast service and friendly. I ran over a bolt and had to repair a flat tire quickly. They had my tire off and fixed in 10 minutes.
Awesome experience!! As a new car owner, away from my dad at school, I naturally panicked a little when my check engine light came on. These guys checked the code for me, recommended advice and had me in and out in less than half an hour! Great service and staff.
Great experience fixing a flat while traveling. Nice staff. I asked if they could quickly fix a flat so I could get to a planned college tour on time. I was out of there in 30 minutes. Great to see businesses like this with a strong focus on quality and customer needs!
Awesome customer service!! I am new to the area and needed an inspection and new tires on a holiday weekend . Their customer service cant be beat and they are extremely honest and upfront about any cost. I am very lucky to have found them and I will be back !
I have always had a good experience getting tires replaced or fixed here.
I have been going to Tire Town for the past few years now. Their service is absolutely stellar and, in all the times Ive had any tire issues, I dont think I had to wait more than an hour! This is because they have two teams, one that solely works on tire issues and another that handles all the other scheduled services (oil changes, etc). Large parking lot, easy to get to, free coffee & good tunes - this place feels more like an old neighborhood auto shop where you would know everyone by name. More important than all of this is I trust them with both the work and the prices. There isnt another place I would go for tire related issues, whether its a patch job or a new set of sneakers.
They were very quick on my tire work and the people working behind the desk were pleasant
Went in today with the donut on my car and asked about used tires. The gentleman assisting me advised that I’d need 4 if I replaced it as to not cause alignment issues. He suggested I fix the tire instead. In and out in 15 minutes and the repair job was only 25 bucks! I appreciated not being coerced into buying something I didn’t need. Great service.
5 is the max rating but I would give this place a 10 if I could. Ernie Crock is about the most accommodating tire professional in North America. We were headed across the commonwealth to Ohio for a wedding when we got a flat the evening before the wedding that couldn’t be plugged. We decided to get a hotel room and called Tire Town at 7:30 on Saturday morning. Ernie assured us he would have us on the road in under an hour. We dropped the car off at 8 and it was done before 8:30 and for a modest price. We were on the road to our wedding by 9 with time to spare. Unfortunately it’s unlikely I’ll get a chance to give him my business again - but you definitely should.
I usually dont complain about things and I was just going to let this pass, but then thought I should mention it here so that other customers might have a better future experience. Ive purchased tires in the past from JR at Tire Town and brought vehicles in for work and have always had great customer service, until today. I called to schedule service for my vehicle and spoke with JR. During the conversation he was kind of rude and condescending, cutting me off while we were talking. The drop-off experience wasnt real pleasant either--curt and short, like I was a bother--customer service FAIL. So when you call or visit the shop, maybe ask to speak with someone else--the rest of the staff that I worked with was friendly and courteous. I was satisfied with the PA inspection work.
I had a tire emergency of sorts on a day that I had to leave to drive a few hundred miles. I needed to get on the road quickly. Tire town got me up and running in about an hour. I told them I was concerned about two of the tires (one definitely needed to be replaced). Had they told me to replace both, I would have not hesitated. They were honest and told me that one of the two was fine. The price was also significantly lower than the dealership for a perfectly fine tire.
Had a flat tire and without even calling ahead first they took me right in and installed a new tire in less than 20 minutes. Staff was extremely polite and helpful and the place was super clean and professional. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Quality Work and Honest People. I started to take my cars to Tire Town for inspections, tires, and mechanical work several years ago and have been very pleased. Another inspection shop I use to go to always seemed to find something wrong that would cost a few hundred dollars to fix and pass inspection. Tire Town does honest work. They follow inspection guidelines to the letter I am sure, but their mechanics dont lie or break things just to get more work. I have had them do repair work and I have purchased tires from them, and have had no problems. They do quality work for a fair price. I highly recommend them.
Was blown away by Tire Town’s customer service, speed of service, and quality of service. I had an emergency and needed my tire changed. They got me in ASAP. I needed an oil change too. They said no problem. I needed a light installed. They put it in as well. This place also kept me updated on time of repair and were just overall amazing.
Great service, very fast, great price. They exceeded my expectations and do everything they can to meet your needs. I needed a tire replaced and they had a used one in stock. It took less than 30 minutes. No unnecessary recommendations. Anyone leaving a bad review is definitely just unhappy with their situation not this business.
These guys are great. Very professional, very quick. Above average, and thorough. Beats going to a Pep Boys, for sure. Wont replace my usual mechanic, but theyll do the job.Im Commander Shepard and this is my favorite store on the Citadel.
Great service just like always!
Amazing service and a really friendly staff. Im so glad that I found this company out here since I wasnt too familiar with car services in the area. They give you fair prices and straightforward explanations of whats going on.
Friendly staff with fair prices. Installed, mounted, and balanced tires in less than 45 minutes. Super quick service performed with care.
Staff were really friendly and helpful. I had one tire changed and it took less than half an hour despite them being somewhat busy.
Called for an emergency flat tire repair because my spare was so bad I could barely drive my car. They got me in right away and out in 15 minutes and completely fixed my tire! Awesome service.
Had a flat that needed to be repaired.We left car there so we could attend Penn state Graduation.They could of taken advantage of us. But they did not. Fixed the flat and had us on our way. Highly recommend Tire Town
Fast and friendly service
2 of my tires had been leaking for a few months. I couldnt figure out why. The tread was good. I went to tire town and they figured out that the rims were corroded. They ground them down and so far everything is good. And much cheaper than new tires. 1 hour tops. Depending on what time you go. I got there before lunch. No appointment. Just roll in.
Friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and competent staff. Highly recommend.
Great service! Friendly, knowledgeable staff. A+. Highly recommend!
Always have very prompt and good service here.
Great experience. I was helped by Christian, who narrowed down my tire selection quickly based upon my needs. Service was finished within 45 minutes. Fair price.
I went to lunch today and had a flat tire. I made it across the street to fill it with air then drove up the street to Tire Town. Only 20 minutes later my tire was fixed for a lot cheaper than I thought it would be. I didnt even need to take a longer lunch. Staff was very friendly and courteous as well. :)
They were able to quickly repair my tire, very cost effective, and still get me to the football game!
Always super-professional. Reasonable prices. Ive never been unhappy with their service, been going there for years. Absolutely trust their professional opinions and work.
Good tire selection and prices without heavy-handed upselling.They also do auto repair/maintenance but havent used them enough to offer a review. State inspections done quickly, and again, no sales pressure for unnecessary work.
Just love these guys they are great and very helpful.
Good service. Free tire rotations for the life of tires if you buy them there.
They do quality work and they get it right the first time!
Been coming here for 14 years. Excellent work, reasonable prices. Friendly. Comfortable waiting room.
Excellent staff and service. I needed a tire replaced and they finished it within twenty minutes. I highly recommend Tire Town!
It’s the best tire company in State College with good tire and reasonable price. The stuff are friendly and helpful. They only spent 15 mins changing my tire. My girlfriend forgot ipad in the store but the owner opened store and returned it to us EVEN IF THEY CLOSED.
I was having a nervous break down because I didnt have the right tool to take off my lug nuts and Earnie was my night and shining armor. He had the tool and took off and change my 2 bald front tires. Thanks again.
Way too expensive
I have been a happy, loyal customer since the late 1980s. They are honest, talented, helpful, and care about the quality of their work. The believe in customer relationships, and will always go the extra mile. Good prices, great customer service!
Terrible, terrible service. I paid 339 to get 2 new front tires and to have them balanced. The day after I was driving and heard a grinding sound and they checked it out and told me that it was my back bearings, even though I told them to look at the front of my car. I ended up paying for back bearings anyway which werent in bad shape and then I went back a 3rd time and was meant with utter impatience and disrespect . I was even told that I cant use their service againbecause I didnt understand how the problem wasnt easily diagnosed especially since it was right after I paid for FRONT tires etc... All in all they made me being disappointed about it my fault when clearly they shouldve checked the front for obvious reasons. So basically they just wanted to upsell me to do more service and pay more money, while Im driving dangerously... I wouldnt recommend them to ANYONE
Repaired a snowblower tire for us. Done perfectly, timely, and at a great price!
The service is good. They are professional. The most important thing is they are honest with you that they dont give a ridiculous price. Good place, very recommended.
I had a leak in one of my tires, so I went to Tire. Town. They were fantastic!!!! Fast service...20 minutes and I was back on the road. Extremely polite, curtious and customer focused. This is the second time Ive used their services and both time I couldnt be happier. I will continue to utilize the State College location.
Always had a great experience here. They fixed an electrical problem after another local shop failed, and at half the price. Took my van here when it broke down and they realized that they wouldnt be able to do the job but pointed me to someone who could. Didnt charge me a cent. Most recently had a brake line fixed and it was done by mid-afternoon under quote. Always call before they do any work, and they are polite and happy to explain the problem.
I had a slow leak in one of my tires so after a little bit of internet research decided on Tire Town. I stopped by without an appointment at 7:45 Am and was out by 8:15. Their service was fast and friendly and their prices were fair- FIVE STARS!*FYI I overheard one of the service dudes say that they basically can be busy at any given time because of the high volumes of walk ins they get, but the most likely time to hit them up without a wait was between 9am-11am.
These guys offer great service and really quick to. The manager is very hospitable and friendly. Would recommend.
Nice people- that understand we all have busy lives and work quickly to get our cars back to us
I needed to get my snow tires changed out on a Saturday on short notice. I called and they said if I could get there by 12:30, they could do it. I got there at 12:20, dropped it off quickly. They called me back at 1:10 and said it was ready. Even got one tire patched at no extra cost. Great experience overall and I will be back in the fall to get the snow tires put back on.
I went to Tire Town for the entire time I lived in State College. They never let me down, and I never got the sense that they were trying to upsell me. A high quality place with good customer service!
I had some tires mounted and balanced there recently. Quick, friendly service. They did theyre job well.
Came in with a low tire and wasnt sure where it was leaking. Within 30minutes they patched up my tire and cleaned my wheel. Great quick service.
Ive been here many times. Great customer service always and they do great work.
Quickly worked in a battery installation for me.
As long distance parents of a PSU student, it was nice to find an honest business who took care of what could have been a serious problem with our daughters car. Your staff explained to her what the problem was and how you repaired it. The total amount charged was very fair. Thank you and your staff very much for your excellent customer service!
Great service but disliked the fact my husband received better answers to queries then I did?
I had to get my tire replaced in less than 2 hours and they did it great staff and more than helpful
My family has used Tire Town for tires and car service for over 30 years. The cost they quote is the price you pay. No hidden fees. JR and Gary are great guys and can be trusted.
Good service and reasonable price. Will go there again, definitely,
Got my car inspected, and not only did they have it completed in record time, but gave me a phone call half-way through to let me know how it was going! Now THAT is customer service! I know quite a few places who could learn a thing or two from them.
These guys are great! Called about a problem, didnt know if it was big or small, they said come on in and well take a look. Fixed it immediately for a very reasonable charge.
Great service and they wont do any work to your vehicles that doesnt need done. Meaning they wont price gouge you and rip you off like some places in State College, fast work also with quality in mind. Ive been going to TireTown for over 20 years and will always return.
Scheduling an oil change and rotation was easy, able to get a same day appointment. Could have waited, took approximately 40 minutes to complete, recommend drop off or walk to Wegmans/Target for a little shopping if you wait.
People shouldnt go here they lie. The website said they do exhaust manifold jobs and call them and ask and they say we dont do them. Never go here and I wont recommend you to no one bad place.
Quality parts. Highly skilled service. And they never try to sell me something I dont need.
I went to get a tire valve looked at and they fixed it and were so professional and quick, one of the best places in town!!
