Fast and efficient service. Tire patch job from a screw in 15 minutes. Was prepared to replace the tire but they assured me the $30 patch was good and has a lifetime warranty. They took the time to show me the patch and explain how they fixed it. Filled my air and washed the tires too.
Such a better experience than one of the big box stores. They really treat customers better and youre not just a number. I also dont get the lets talk to her like shes a girl vibe. Ill be back!
Best tire shop in town. It is the only place I will go for a patch repair or new tires. they also sell used tires that seem to work great Ive been coming here for 10 years! And they are very fast
Came down with a flat and went over to Larkin Brothers Tires the next day - their estimated time of 1.5 hours was on the dot. Everyone was friendly, and service was great! Theres a waiting room on location, or you can also walk over to Valencia street to grab a quick bite while you wait for the repairs
Larkin Bros Tire and vehicle maintenance is great. Jason always helps me out and has a friendly staff thats quick and good at their work. Ive been there 5 times for various repairs and new tires. All in 2020 so far. Thanks for the quick turnaround and taking care of my car unlike some other global tire chains
Not great for regular servicing (like oil/filter changes). Got quoted $150 on phone so went into shop, then I was told $250 when dropped off the car, but 2 hours later they called me back to say $450 .. only to do partial servicing. Feel like I wasted half a day here.So instead I took it to dealership right after for servicing and then did it for $200 in same day.
Guys who work here is awesome! Very friendly, extremely professional!!! Price for service unbeatable! They catch me big time!!Highly recommend!!!! Five-star no doubt!!!!!Jason and Nick, thank you so much for your incredible service!!!!👍👍
I have been a loyal customer since 1984 with 3 diff cars. They do not mess with women and jack up prices. Excellent men and service fir tires, alignent,front cross ties, etc
As a first-time car owner I wanted to install winter-tires for my BMW. I found Larkin Brothers as a highly reviewed service on Google and was very impressed. Jason and the staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and had brand new winter tires ordered for me to the store, installed fast and for a fair price. Will definitely use them again.
One of the best ways to please me is to do something quicker than I thought it was going to take.
Fantastic experience! Got a flat tire in brand new Tesla Model Y with the foam lined tires. Very frustrating. Waited a few hours for Tesla mobile service--the tech was great but no luck finding the leak. Rather than wait a few days for a tow to service center, I pumped up the tire and headed to Larkin Bros. They got me back on the road within an hour for less than $50. Would definitely recommend. Do yourself a favor and get there right when they open at 7:30AM--it gets busy by 9.
Excellent work, did outstanding job fixing our tire so we could get back on the road quickly n have a safe trip home. Was super cheap too. Must say, if Im ever in San Fran again needing tire work, or prob anything to do w my car, Ill b headed to their shop. Thanx guys!
Been several times, trustworthy, reliable will give you solid referrals if they cant do it in house. Everyone is professional, friendly to everyone that walks through the door and theyre busy! They even offered to check out something they noticed at the last minute, could have sent us on our way after fixing what we came for but wanted to be sure all was ok. Definitely recommend, will be back.
Gateway Rooter and Plumbings one stop shop for all our fleet vans excellent service couldnt ask for more
I have. Even going here since 1994 for tires and alignment. The staff is nice. Drive up forctites, no appt...need an appointment for all other services . They dont RIP off women. Big plus. They will tell you what you need to do to keep safe, but are not pushy on the up sellI just had my front tie replaced and an alignment.I like to support local, family owned biz. They have never let me down.
Gave good advice, had great prices and excellent selection.
Somebody had stabbed one of my tires and my car doesnt come with a spare, but the guy at Larkin Bros. found me an excellent replacement at 1/4th of the price that Goodyear wanted to charge me. They fixed my car fast, while I waited, and were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone needing tires.
Very professional experience 👏 Very reasonable price 👍 and very well ran business 5 🌟 ⭐
Fast, cheap and reliable service and people. Highly recommend for tire work. Also they mentioned that they do mechanical work too.
They quickly repaired my tire.Four months later the patch failed, but they patched it again for free so I consider that a win.
They were very helpful and fast. But they scratched the rim of the tire they were fixing. All the rims are scratch-less beforehand and now one of them is not. I’m very disappointed. I wish they’d be more careful. 😟
Fair prices and fast work, get there early
Great service. Very fast. Always reliable. Fair prices.
Expertise and Great customer service, the crew are highly knowledgable and fast, and Randy and Jason are extremely helpful and generous with their time. On a recent visit after hearing a strange noise from my 4runner, they saw me promptly, put my vehicle up and inspected/diagnosed the issue assuring me it was nothing to be concerned about. Incredibly thankful as I was just about to go on a long trip. Highly recommend this team of pros!
Great shop run by great people. Fair and quick. Would definitely recommend.
Repair done with no appointment, done when they said it would be done, after getting a runaround from three other shops.
Ive been coming here for years for basic tire service including swapping snow tires on and off for ski season. They do what they do very well with no fluff, frills, or fanciness, and are generally very efficient. No appointment necessary and they get the job done in 1.5 hrs, just as promised. Definitely recommend.
Feb 2020 Update: I have upgraded this review from 1 to 3 stars based on my interactions with Jason and the ultimate outcome of this situation.Summary:In the process of affixing new tires to my car, the Larkins Bros. technician caused cosmetic damage to the rims. I noticed and reported the damage immediately to Jason, the son of the owner of Larkins Bros.Jason took the time to inspect the damage with me, admitted it was the shops fault, and offered to have the rims repainted.Since the rims were in like-new condition, I felt that what was fair was to have the rims replaced rather than repainted.It took several months and many appointments/phone calls with insurance, the BAR, body shops, and Jason, but in the end we came to an agreement, and I wound up being compensated enough so that I could purchase new rims at a discounted price.Although I am disappointed to have the damage happen in the first place, I appreciate Jasons professionalism and willingness to work with me to resolve the situation.
Professional, friendly, efficient. Just a welcome surprise in the automotive world. Have purchased a set of tires as well as patched a tire at Larkin brothers and both times were a pleasant experience.
Great service, made me feel like they cared
Honest guys, no frills. Fairly cheap
My daughter attends college in SF and needed to get back home to LA. She needed fast and efficient service for tires and Lawrence was able to help her get on the road within 45 mins ✔️ Rare tires in stock ✔️ Made sure she was ready for a long drive and made her feel safe ✔️ Thanks so much guys! I recommend highly!!
Fast and quick. Busy place
Really great service! Fast and efficient. And the guy who helped me (Im assuming the owner) was very kind. Funny thing, I called another tire shop before I called this one and the guy who picked up was extremely rude, so I decided on Larkin. Being kind goes a long way! $30 for a patch up. Would come again!
This is a great place for your car needs. Friendly staff that is happy to walk you through work needed without talking down to you. They have been a go to place for honest and efficient work.
I went there to check out the state of the tires on the used car I just bought.They could have easily sold me new tires but they were totally honest and said I could do another extra 2,000 miles. Greatly appreciated.They simply fixed the puncture in the rear tire for a fraction of the cost of new tires. Greatly appreciated, I will be back.
Ive been taking my cars to Larkin Bros for 20 years now. Great service and prices and theyre locally owned. Ive sent many friends to them and have always been thanked for the recommendation.
Experts, friendly service, quick service-reliable, serving the community since the 1950s!
Larkin Brothers are the tops in tires, been a client there for years, always get excellent service, Always.
Hands down, the best in the business! Jason helped me with some very difficult to acquire snow tires for my X5. I completely trust Larkin Brothers! Jason even connected me with an amazing mechanic at Bay Motors. Now I never need to pay high prices at BMW again!
Very efficient. Fast turnaround time. Very pleasant and friendly! Knowledgable! Super stars of tire services! Big O should send their staff for training with Larkin Brothers!!
A local merchant who sells tires and fixes tires and does auto repair a good on a shop. They fixed my flat in under half hour.
Replaced my damaged flat tire quickly.
I like this place, seems family owned, not like a big corporation vibe.
Best service, benn there multiple times, either company cars or personal, goody friend and affordable and garantizad.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
They were fast,curtious and offered me the best tire at a good price.
Had a punctured tire because I drove over a screw. $30 to fix, under 30 mins, professional staff, put it back on the truck, put away my spare, and checked the air on all 4 tires. Great experience.
Friendly. Fair prices. Excellent service. Keep their promises. Great doing business with them.
Great service!
Great service, fast and friendly. And locally owned. Would definitely recommend!
Serious crew, know their stuff, trustworthy. Been taking my cars there for several years. Always busy, but they will make time for you if necessary. There is a reason theyve been in business for as many years as they have. Highly recommend.
Great service, prompt, courteous, and reasonably priced. As good as it gets. Clear, practical advice. The staff treat you like family, even guided me safely out of the parking lot. Highly recommended.
Affordable, quick ( if u get an appointment)just go grab lunch and your got new rubber aligned and balanced usually in a hour an half its ready. Definitely a repeat customer.
Best tire place in the city. Quick & great service!
Ive been coming here for 25 plus years. Always been treated good by Randy, Marty and the staff.Its also nice to have a local tire shop to go to, rather than depending on a big box store.
Have been a repeat customer for many tires and several cars (unfortunately). Everyone Ive interacted with has been pleasant, helpful, courteous and fair. Once they even removed and checked a tire for me, found no leak, and didnt charge me for their efforts. Pretty rare nowadays. In a city full of potholes, screws and nails, I recommend Larkin Brothers with no hesitation.
The people inside seems there are mean people the workers who work on the cars are friendly people
Repaired tire with nail in it from the myriad of construction going on in San Francisco for $25 which is not bad. My experience was that though the staff was not the friendliest but nonetheless very efficient which I value more than rote civility.They get the job done at a fair price.
Fast, fast and they replaced tires really fast!For me, that was savage! Luxury cars shouldnt be treated like this...I know many people in U.S. didnt care about little things on their cars such as wheel frames, they replace(change) their car every two years or even quicker. But unfortunately I do care I just want to drive my luxury car as new everyday, and at least drive my car last long for five years more then I have the position to replace my car.My luxury car wheel frames already damaged pretty much. Now because I replaced my car tires here I have to order new wheel frames for my car.The problem is the tire-off machines are too original and old; they dont care about your cars wheel frame, all they care about are speed and uninterrupted flow of customers. Here is the right place as the saying goes Time is money.If not because of the 4.6 high score on Google Maps, my car would not be here to replace tires.If you care about your car wheel frames, dont bring your car here to replace tires.
So very friendly, quick and reasonable. I was so happy they were able to fix my tire, which saved me oodles of money! Im very happy with their service.
Ive been to Larkin Brothers a few times. The service is fast and very friendly. I feel that theyre very trustworthy there.
Best tire place in the city... reasonable prices too.
I was referred by a female to this place, and I went there cause no on else would repair my tire, I was told by 3 other shops that it had to be replaced, my usual shop repaired it but it only lasted 2 weeks. There were only female customers there the whole time I waited for my tire to be repaired. Charged me $33 for the repair, other places only charged $15-$25, but the guy repaired the hell out of my tire, I asked him if it was safe to drive it from SF to KC, he said it will never fail me again, 2 years later it is still like new
I have been going to Larkin Bros since I was a teenager. MARTY(OWNER) RANDY( SON IN LAW) have always taken GREAT care of me, I would give then 10* if I could. Whats there to think about, these guys are THE BEST!!
Fast, Professional,, Upfront with prices, They dont fool around.
1st time customer, and Happy to confirm & second the 5-star reviews. Price for 4 new tires & installation was exactly as quoted, no surprises, no upcharges. Made a next day appointment and received quick & punctual service. Excellent communication and friendly service from Randy.
Professional and quick service, best place and best team work
Needed a new set of tires, got very good recommendations based on my needs and the serviced 4 tires in under an hour. Even gave me a good coffee shop nearby to hang out at, you can tell that they have a lineage there. Highly recommended.
The service is better than I expected at a fair price!
These folks are straight shooters. Their prices are good and they finish on time. They have a selection of quality tires they can put on right away but on their website there is a huge selection of tires they can order for you. I called them at 3 pm and ordered a set of tires and Larkin Brothers has them installed on my car by 10:30 am the next day.
I read good reviews, and they happened to be close so I gave them a try. They surpassed the good reviews. It was a slow day alparently but I was in and out in 20 minutes! It was cheap to boot. The staff was friendly and helpful. Will recommend to everyone. I wouldnt hesishes to give them my business again. Top notch.
Quick service, affordable, got the job done.
Im a repeat customer at Larkin. Beat others on price check. They also recommended best time to be there to avoid a long wait and service with a smile.
Great service and great staff 👍👍👍😷
Excellent Service. Honest & Friendly Staff. Expedite service as well 👍🏼👍🏼
Price little high for tires but change and answering good questions and very helpful persons working there also they give you invoice etc. So its real place
THE tire and wheel shop to go to in S.F..Good prices and true professionals. They KNOW TIRES.
Always great service, prices and attitudes.Been going for more than 15 years and plan to keep going.
Go-to tire place, for me, off and on for over 17 years. Very laid back, efficient, service specialists who really take care of you and your auto needs. Reasonable pricing, impeccable work, always professional.
Called this place because I felt bad for using Tire Rack, was hoping to support some local company instead - reviews looked good! Said he couldnt help me and I needed to know what tires I wanted first (just giving him the car type (was looking for winter tires - Im no expert on what size they should be - thats why Im calling)), then he hung up on me. Great service, right? Howd this get to 4.6 stars?
I definitely recommend bringing your vehicle here. I brought in my car with a tire that was losing air, they found the culprit but couldnt fix it because my tread was too low. Honest and they didnt hustle me and try to sell a set of tires for my Subaru STi. They put the wheels back on and I drove home and bought the tires I wanted online (since they didnt carry the ones I wanted). After having the tires delivered, I brought my vehicle back and they gave me a great price and finished the work quickly even though they were slammed. Id estimate it was probably around an hour and half wait time, so I hung out at Best Buy near here until they were done.
They provide good honest service
I used to buy my tires here. Today I called ahead and the salesman told me to come on in. There were a lot of cars filling the driveway, so I pulled up to figure out where to park mine while I waited. Just then a big truck on the street backed into me and smashed my bumper. I got out to talk to the truck driver and the Larkin Bros salesman said, “You have to get those cars out of the way right now. We have customers to attend to.” I told him I was a customer there to buy tires and he said, “I don’t care.” Well, I used to be a customer, but after seven years supporting this business, I’m out. Maybe the salesmen only take care of people with nicer cars? The mechanics and technicians are great and I will miss them.
Good and honest service. quick in and out. professionally done. will definitely go back if I need my car fixed.
Family owned, great service and people. They do a gang load of cars a day.
Jason at Larking Tire is the best. The only place that would replace a box truck tire in the city, and also in a timely fashion.
So helpful, carefully explaining every question I had. I had been told by my dealership that my tire was unrepairable and I would have to buy a new tire, but Larkin actually told me they could repair my tire when I went in for a new one!
I scheduled my alignment ($70) for my car about 1 day in advance. And when it came time to come to the shop everything was all ready to go and they had me out of there in 30 minutes. Ive never had a car service place be so efficient. great service, professional people Ill come back here for sure.
Always super helpful. Never feel like they are selling me on anything. I like supporting this business.
I called because I had a bad stem, a low tire, and new to town. Found them on Google. I went by and they were REALLY busy. Fidel changed it out, in just a few minutes. Very professional, gratis! I will definitely go back there for my tire needs. They changed what I thought would be a long headache into a fantastic experience.
Really good, fast, friendly and quite reasonable prices. I recommend to my friends.
$30 to repair a punctured tire and swap the emergency spare back out. In and out after 1 hour on a busy Saturday afternoon. Good service
Had a flat tire, brought it to Larkin Brothers Tires without an appointment at about 8am on a Thursday. An hour and fifteen minutes later, I had a fully patched and reinflated tire, for the easy price of $25! Their waiting room isnt too noisy and has free Wifi. These guys are always busy, but that didnt keep them from taking the time to greet me and get my tire in the queue as soon as I entered the shop. Great place!
Another shop wouldnt help me because of an after market spacer. LB took care of everything without any issues and got me back on the road. Awesome service
Fast and friendly service with fair prices!
Ive been coming here for years. They always have time to patch my tire. Prices have gone up, but its great service.
Brought in my car because I found a nail in my tire. After 45 minutes they told me the nail didnt go through and that everything was fine. No charge and said dont worry about Honesty from an auto repair shop is GOLD!
The best tire shop in San Francisco. Professional, accommodating, fast, and very reasonably priced. They stand by their product, as well.
