Steve and his crew have really helped us many times by promptly and diligently repairing roadside hazards to our tires so we can get back on the road. They have also performed many needed services beyond tires to my cars over the years including alignments, oil changes, bearings, struts, air conditioner repair, and more. They are prompt and very professional, and have very reasonable prices without nickel-and-dimming you. I’ve recommended many others to them who have been very pleased with their no-nonsense work as well. I highly recommend El Cerrito Tires.

Steve and crew make a person feel as though their vehicle really is special... waiting for a friends car (minor repair) I noticed just how much it means to have ones possession treated in this manner. The other customers, who came and went while I waited, had their troubles addressed and treated with genuine concern. This is the mark of a good business. The work done on my friends car was excellent... even replaced the bulb in a running light at no charge.

Excellent service and reasonable pricing. Always seem to diagnose and fix my car problems honestly.

I am in no way connected with this business, but I have had excellent, polite and prompt service. I bought tires for my 81 Fiat ...maybe 2 years ago. I was losing air in one and I hadnt driven it much due to COVID and having other vehicles. I thought I had a puncture. They checked it. I had rust on the rim which affected the seal. They cleaned it up impressively - I saw them do it. They set all my tires to be the same. Since I bought the tires there the charge for a good amount of fussing with that tire? $0. The guy that runs the place knows cars, too. Its a cool shop and Im glad I settled on them.

Friendly, honest and thorough. I especially appreciate that they listened to my concerns about the car, and investigated instead of dismissing them outright (which has happened to me on more than one occasion in the past). Ill be going here regularly from now on.

Steve and his team at ECT are as trustworthy as it gets when dealing with car repairs. I bought a used Subaru from them a few years back and have bringing it in for any and all maintenance ever since. They’ve always acted quickly to fit me in, Steve is incredibly friendly and responsive, and most importantly, the work is quality and very fairly priced. I can’t recommend this shop enough.

Steve is one of the most reliable guys when it comes to auto care. Ive been going to him 20 years now. He has kept same technician for a number of years.

Great service! Honest company! Great prices! Keeping all 4 family cars of ours rolling! Thanks!

Came here on a referral from a friend. Was in need of a trustworthy mechanic so decided to give them a try. Met Diego who went through everything with me and what the estimate would be. Afterward when i picked up i met the owner too who was also friendly and talkative. Tested out my car and it was running good again. Glad I gave them a look. They’ve earned my trust going forward.

Excellent, prompt service at a fair price as always.

Great deals!

I have been going to them for years. They are very fair and know what they are doing.

This place was recommended to me by my former mechanic (Rob, who is sadly no longer in business) and Im glad he did. Their staff is friendly and helpful and their prices are very reasonable, AND they dont charge me to rotate my tires even though I didnt get them there! Amazing IMO in todays (Bay Area) economic landscape.

Excellent service!

Came in for a full-size spare, and the guy had me to call a competitor to see if they carried a used one before I bought new. Very professional service.

Steve and crew are awesome! I have been coming in for oil changes, tires and regular maintenance for a few years now, and my SUV has 244k miles and still going strong. Their prices are very fair, they explain things in terms I understand, and my car is ready when they say its going to be ready. I have never felt taken advantage of like I have at other shops. In fact, they are so honest, they actually wont do the work until its actually necessary. What a difference from the service department at El Cerrito Honda where the disorganization, high pressure sales tactics, and high prices aggravated me for too many years...never again! You wont be anxious about going to the mechanic again if you patronize this locally-owned business: El Cerrito Tire and Auto Body.

Thought I had previously written a review, came back to edit, and notice I didn’t write down my experience. Just lowered 1 star, although I believe they can be a 4 or higher, as they seem to attempt to do a good job. However, there is always a bad apple. Purchased tires, great deal, great service. Return for routine rotations, tires are marked to track rotation. No special tread or need, I just like to follow a particular pattern. Attendant has now told me twice, it doesn’t matter how you rotate them, but if client wants it like that they will. By this I thought they would actually do it. But they proceeded to do their standard rotation. Some people just don’t care to really uphold the integrity of their work. Some employees just don’t know how they hurt all the effort business owners put into their company.

They checked the wheel alignment on my car and told me it was in spec. They told me to go back to where I bought my tires and have them rebalanced. They only charged me a minimum service charge rather than for a full alignment which I didnt need. Nice that they are so honest and helpful

Good services and fair repair rates

Allan is very knowledgeable and honest. Good job of taking care my car.

Straightforward shop that works fast to get you back on the road. Very reasonable costs. Bit pushy about getting you to stick with them, which it isnt necessary since they do a good job and that should speak for itself.

Great service and affordable prices

Great service! Weve been coming here for years and are always happy with their work.

Nice, funny staff. Went in with a nail in my tire which another shop said was not repairable and I would need all new tires. El Cerrito Tires took the time to show me where the nail was (close to sidewall) but said if they got inside the tire and had an inch they could fix it. The mesage from both shops were the same so I dont question the honesty of the first shop. However, the importance of taking the time and trying which El Cerrito Tires did resulted in a patch vs four new tires on my AWD which saved me $$$. When my tires are due for a replacement, I will take my car there.

Great folks here. took care of the puncture in my tire easily and with a smile!

They always take care of my fathers car in very short time

Have been a customer since their Big O days. Very fair, and great people!!!

Great people. Great service m honest guys. Got my tire changed here and body work done.

Great guys very efficient only replace parts that are needed. Very trustworthy.

They are professional and open every day, which make them a great choice for mechanic and body work. Saturdays are busiest but youll be able to hang out at a cafe one block away.

Good people. Fast service. Trust -worthy and reasonable prices.

Showed up to get a quote about a small fender bender i had been in and had to wait upwards of half an hour before being helped. when I was helped I was quoted “at least 500$” for what was supposedly serious frame damage. the attendant i talked to justified this by saying the headlight was cockeyed. when i brought it to another shop the new fender i had (which el cerrito tire refused to use) went straight on. the headlight housing in the bumper was toast but the frame was absolutely fine and the repair cost me the entirety of 80$. I don’t typically do reviews but i felt extremely disrespected and unhappy with my service at el cerrito tire. there were several instances throughout my conversation with the attendant where he was rude and dismissive. do not come here unless you want to deal with rude employees who are out to rip you off.

Friendly staff, got a discount since it was my first time there. The waiting room is comfortable with good selection of snacks and drinks.

Never post reviews but Ive been going to these guys for years. Theyve never done me wrong.
