The guys at Katz Tire are amazing! They fixed my flat tire in less than 10 minutes and charged me almost nothing. They were friendly & very helpful. I wouldnt go anywhere else!

I first found out about Katz Tires about ten years ago, through a recommendation from a coworker. I have been going there ever since. Fast service for a low price, and Ive never had any issues with their work or staff. I hope to be able to continue to be a patron for many years.

I’ve been to Katz Tires twice now, and it’s been a great experience both times. First time, I wasn’t there for longer than 10 minutes and they patched my tire right up. Recently one of my tires popped (Columbus roads, everyone) but thankfully it was nearby! They offered me a used tire for a pretty good price, and got me out of there in about 20-25 minutes. They charge a tire recycling fee, but it’s worth it to not have to drive all the way out to a tire recycling center. The staff was friendly, and they didn’t try to charge me for unnecessary things, which I appreciate as a woman who has to deal with that sort of thing any time I have car trouble. Thank you, Katz Tires!! Highly recommend :)

Ok so I bought tires from you but for some reason they seem to not be able to balance the new tires. I went back to say tires not balanced right car shaking at 70 miles hour the comment was do 69 miles an hour so when I went back to get tires balanced again balance was off so they balanced them for second time now car shake at 60 miles hour my car rode better before I bought tires from you because your shop is incapable of balancing your brand new tires.

Katz did a quick and simple plug on a tire that had a nail in it. 5 min in and out! Saved the day. I first stopped in at Grismer down the road and they said they would not be able to get to it until tomorrow, which is ridiculous considering how easy/quick it is to plug a tire and they didn’t want to help a stranded motorist. Oh well. Katz Tire for the win!

Best experience I’ve had at any auto parts store ever. Went in because my tire kept deflating, asked if they could see if there was a hole, if not Ill get a new tire. The guy took a look, found a nail and plugged the hole in maybe a minute or two, I havent had any issues since. Paid, it was much cheaper than I thought, (10.75) and left. maybe a 10 minute process. My roommate said she has gotten a tire put on by them and it was similarly quick. Highly recommend!

Was in and out in 15 minutes. Went in just for a patch on my full size spare so I could change out a dangerous tire and they recommended that I get a used tire instead. The used tire was very reasonably priced and in very good condition and they still patched the spare for free! So now I have a much better tire than I came in with and still have a spare. Very happy with the service I received.

Quickly in and out. This shop is no longer owned by the old Katz family, but they do a great job, are courteous and they carry a lot of brands. The quote I got for a whole set for my truck was much lower than I expected. I will keep coming back…the best compliment you can give is your continued business!

After having a rough start to the day Katz tires was a breath of fresh air. Great customer service, quality work, at an affordable price. My mother stayed in the car said “It’s like Jimmy John’s for tires but faster”. I will be returning and sending others. Thank you for a great experience!

The service at Katz is FANTASTIC!! Woke up to a flat tire and drove straight to the shop. Before they even opened the doors they had me on a lift and were ready to rock and roll to get me roadworthy again. All the guys were so courteous, understanding, and helpful. They were honest with me about what I needed and the cost was incredibly affordable! If I could give 10 Stars I would! Highly highly highly recommend!

Review №20

Wow! What a crazy busy but efficient place! I was impressed with the friendly service and how matter-of-fact they were. It harkens back to when going for work on your car was, legit, “taking it to a garage”.Price there: amazing. 4 Michelin’s for hundreds less than others. AND they hand my thought to find tires in stock. Definitely, a fan and won’t go anywhere else for tires.

Fantastic and knowledgeable staff. Super quick service. My regular garage was too busy today to take care of my flat tire. But the guys at Katz took care of it right away. I was very happy with the quality of the job they did. I absolutely recommend them.

Review №22

I got to my car after working a night shift and found a completely flat tire thanks to a big nail. After security came to fill it up, two different security officers recommended going around the corner to Katz Tires to get a patch. I pulled in right after they opened around 8am and left within 15 minutes. It took longer for the computers to boot up to do the $10 transaction (because they had literally just opened) than it did to actually patch and fill my tire. The guy who did the patch apologized several times for the slow computer, which was really no big deal at all. Friendly service from every single employee I encountered.

Katz tires was close to home. The 4 tires were put on quickly and the price was so affordable. The tech was pleasant and answered my questions. Their follow up policy assured me that they will be in business for years to come.

Review №26

Exceptional. They didn’t have the tires I needed at the location I went to. No problem! They quickly sent an employee from another location to the one I was at with the 4 specific brand new tires I needed. They also worked with me on a price we both benefitted from. The entire process may have taken 45mins maybe a little over but not by much. Keep in mind, this is including the time it took to bring the tires I needed from another location.Katz tires is the real deal and they’ve gained a lifelong customer and many recommendations from me here on out. Outstanding example of a business who wants to help their customers and give them the best service. Thank you, Katz!

Had a bulge in the side of my front right tire from a pothole most likely... Everyone else didnt have my tire as I wanted to match what came on the vehicle, Katz was able to get my tire delivered in a few hours and quick change. Very friendly service and reasonably priced... WILL USE THEM AGAIN!!!!

Yo Katz tires always good service. Always greeted before you walk in the door, it’s tough to keep track of the order in which people pull up but they work diligently and efficient. Not to mention the price is so reasonable, other places give me anxiety at the check out register lol. Keep up the good work guys.

Great service!! I needed my tire repaired after I got a nail stuck in it. I called 4 other tire places and no one was available to get me in to fix it. Luckily when I called here they were able to get me in asap and repaired my tire quickly and it was a lot more affordable than the other places I had called. I dont usually leave reviews but I definitely reccomend them!!

Review №41

Very fast service! Found one of my tires had gone completely flat at work in downtown Cbus. Pumped it up enough to bring it to Katz tires. It took a while to diagnose, but they listened to my observations and concerns. Once they found the problem, they patched it up and added more air. All done within 20 minutes. Reasonable cost too and everyone was very nice. Highly recommend.

Katz Tires is a hidden gem for anyone in the Downtown area. Always prompt, knowledgeable service with anything related to tires; and pricing is always fair.Some may be put off by the lack of a flashy storefront and waiting area, but Ill sacrifice those any day for quality service and convenience.

I was in a real bind and the guys at Katz Tires were excellent.While driving down 71 I hit a pothole and immediately realized I had a serious issue with my right front passenger side tire. In a bind, I needed some immediate help and called Katz. I’m glad I did.The guys squeezed me in before the end of the day, diagnosed the problem, and had me on the road in time for me to make it home in a reasonable time with no problems.Very thankful for the experience. I highly recommend Katz Tires.

This may have been the best experience Ive ever had when it comes to service on my car! I cannot say enough good things about this team!After getting a flat in one of my rear tires this afternoon, I took it over to Katz to see if theyd have time to fit me in. Not only did they look at my old, damaged tire right away, but they got me back on the road with a durable and affordable new tire in MINUTES!I would recommend this place to anyone. Theyre fast, honest and they seem to genuinely care about their customers time and money.

❤❤❤❤❤Katz helped me out with no charge (though I tipped well) when two different Kia service stations told me they could not see me for a month for my tire light coming on. Katz saw me right away and I was on the road in 10 minutes. I have a new favorite auto shop! At least for tires. And after posting something on Facebook, it was flooded with positive feedback and comments from friends who have had great experiences here.

Got a flat in Sheila E (the Miata). Luckily, Katz was inside my AAA free tow range. After the kindly wrecker driver transported my precious baby, the good sirs at Katz had her back on the road in an impressively short amount of time. The staff was top-notch; straightforward and a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend for that quick tire change out, like watching a race car pit crew in action!

Katz Tires is honestly the ONLY tire service I use in Columbus. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and the service is lightning fast. The last one is fantastic because MOST of us have spent HOURS being stuck waiting at a tire store during an emergency - I think their motto is something like ‘fast service for busy people’... and it’s true. Cant recommend enough. A+++ service.

Review №72

We needed a tire plugged and my regular tire shop couldn’t get us in for a couple days, I remember driving by Katz, gave them a call and within 15 minutes of hanging up the phone I had pulled into the lot, they had my car jacked and began removing the wheel. The repair continues to be good, the service was fast, friendly, and reasonably priced. This is not a place where everybody’s wearing the same golf shirt with a company logo stitched on it, but they know what they’re doing and we will be back!

Slow leak in a tire. This guy jumps out of his chair and dives right into fixing it. None of the usual “Ok we’ll try to take a look at it”, just then and there. I knew from the reviews it had to be a good shop but I didn’t think it would be in and out so fast too.

I’ve had bad experiences in a lot of car places in the past and can confidently say that Katz Tires was my best experience yet!! It was easy to walk-in and get someone to look at my two tires with slow leaks. One was able to plug, one needed a patch. I appreciate the honesty and not trying to scam me into buying new tires or extra charges (again, like a lot of other car places do). Katz took great care of me and my car. And it was quick and affordable! Can’t beat it. Definitely will be back if we ever need anything else. Much appreciation to the whole team! Highly recommend to anyone in need.
