I spoke to Alex over at Redwood General Tire about a set of tires for my 2020 Porsche 992 (911 Carrera 4S) ... he gave me a great price, but thats not why Im writing this... his communication and his attentiveness was 110% .. then he (and his tech, Nick) did a first class, white glove installation on my car.. I watched the whole process from inside the shop and I would trust them over my dealer to handle my car... the wheels were meticulously cleaned after the install and the tires cleaned too... it was truly a factory look experience!
Was a great experience as always. I dont know squat about tires, but really trust these guys. They are patient with my questions and always give me a fair price. Kurt is especially amazing. Very nice, helpful and tells it how it is.
I have been bringing my cars here for about 15 years. I love the fact that indeed the same front desk people there. Same guy has been helping me forever and it feels like personalized service. Wish we had more places like this with custom, old school service. Plus they are located an easy walk to down town RWC. Recommend that cigar store on Broadway and Main.
My go-to tire shop for my C6 Z06. Theyre the only ones who know how to mount Cup 2 run flats on the Corvette Centennial Cup wheels. Most other shops will scrape up your rims trying to get them on. Everyones also a pleasure to work with
Costco would not fix my tire with a silencing foam core but Redwood General Tire Pros would. Guess who got my business? The staff knew their stuff, the car drop off was easy and the car was ready on time. The tire seems as good as before the nail puncture.
I had a problem with my car and they took in right away . And was a great experience very friendly. Very happy with them . 👍👍👍👍
Always great to do business with.Great staff!!Fast repairs done right.
This place is a scam total rip-off dont come here . This gentleman by the Name of Kurt quoted me 3500$ when I took it To another guy he told me if I buy the parts hell do the work for $300. The parts cost me $286 and installed for $300. Total savings $2900.
Prompt service. I have been a customer for 12 years. They offer tire service from cars, big trucks and tractors. I think they still make service calls.
I am from out of town & woke up to a flat tire on my RV. I called Redwood tires & spoke with Kurt. He suggested how to move forward. I took my RV in the next morning to find out 3 tires were low on air due to a valve issue. Long story short- I was given excellent, professional assistance. Kurt experience & guidance led to successfully solving more than just a flat tire but a potential safety issue. Thanks Kurt & Redwood Tires!
The guys at Redwood Tire are Great! I have gone there for many years. They are honest, knowledgeable and efficient. They have also matched all prices. I have stopped by on many occasions just to see if I need tires and they always show me what they are looking at and explained why I do not, or do, need new tires. It is an excellent business!
I have a modded E46 BMW, and let me tell you there’s only 2 people I let work on my car besides me. My BMW mechanic who I call the “BMW Whisperer”, and Redwood General Tire. Every time I go they are honest, and not trying to work you for extra money. Told me I needed some work and understood I would do it myself, told me to come back when I was ready for tires and alignment. I came back without an appointment and got the car back in 3 hours. Great quality service, and good pricing. Highly recommend, even for modified cars.
My number one spot for suspension instation or tricky alignments. Sanjeev and Kurt always take care of me.
This place puts the deals on wheels!
Awesome service. I had 10 split rim tires installed on my Deuce1/2 less than 3 hrs.
Great prices. Friendly staff. Why two stars? See image attached to this review. I went here to get new rims and new lug nuts installed, no damage to the lugs... few months later I went in for tire rotation, alignment, and my lugnuts were damaged :( seems like the wrong socket was used. These are $200 lugs btw------------------------------------------------------------------Update: I stopped by the to have them look at my car, they determined that it was necessary to change out the lug nuts on the house. They understood, they were nice, and they were patient. I will continue to use Redwood General Tire Pros as my go to for tires, alignment, and other suspension related work.
Good work and fast👍👌
This is a wonderful place to come to. We have found everyone we have talked with the be extremely professional and knowledgeable.My husband was just there a couple of weeks ago. He had found a nail in one of our tires. He had initially gone to Americas tires and they said that we needed a new tire. I am not sure why, but I believe they said we would need 2 tires. It was also going to be 2-3 hour wait. During that wait time my husband walked over to Redwood General. They would be able to get to it within 40 minutes or so. It also turned out the tire could be patched. So, we went from possibly spending $500 to $30 for the patch. Our tires are from Americas Tires so we will continue to go back there for rotations since they are free. But the next time we need new ones we will be heading to Redwood General!!
I went there for 3 replacingtires because two Staffs warned me about those tires. I asked them to rotate tires. They said it is not good idea and not safe. I went to the front desk and told Kurt about tires. He told me not need. I told him to come with me what his 2 staffs told me. Looked inside 3 tires. He said, Oh right okay! I got 3 brand new tires. Awesome! Thanks!
Keurig coffee maker, massage chairs and fast friendly reliable service. They always try to help me get what my car needs within my budget. They are honest and never try to upsell me. I will always bring my car here for tires and brakes.
DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Brought my fathers Ford Raptor in for a new tire after experiencing a blowout on the freeway. It took over a month to get the tire and was charged extra for expedited shipping. Once the tire was ready for pick up, I went down to the shop to pick it up and when I got there the shop didnt even have the tool to put it back up underneath the truck bed - where spare tires are kept. The heavy set middle age manager of the mechanics then proceeded to bad mouth me in Spanish to one of the workers after I told him I didnt have the tool to put the spare back in its spot.Since the shop did not have the tools required( its a standard tool, with a square head), I put it in the bed of the truck and drove around the corner to Americas Tire where the shop, indeed, did have the tool required. In less than 3 minutes, the spare was put in the correct spot and they did not charge me a dime.If you like overpaying and poor customer service, go to General Tires
Had brakes checked, all is good. Saved me $$ and time. I recommend these guys!
Fantastic service. Efficient, friendly and capable. The waiting area is very nice and clean. My go to from now on! Thumbs up!
Well I guess sometimes yelp is correct. This place is quite reasonable in terms of price. The quality of work seems great and it was also a professional business transaction. I would recommend this shop to anybody. We were just traveling through town and needed some repairs to our car. They gave us a very fair price that was not inflated or anywhere near what the dealership would charge.
This is a long-time running tire shop in Redwood City. Kurt (the main manager) has been there since 1989 (I think). You can definitely sense the long history and pride these guys have in making sure they get your tire right. I went in due to a super unlucky incidence where one of my barely used 4-set tires ruptured on the side, making it irreparable. Kurt tried his very best to not have be buy another set of 4, and worked around my schedule and availability. He was honest with the quality of tires that was in the shop, and you can sense that he just wants to make sure he gets your tires right.
My husband got his tires replaced here recently and the service was phenomenal. Booked his order online and the response was prompt and professional. He got the exact time he booked, which was very convenient. As for the service, the estimated time for the tires was 2hrs and they did it in 1. Their prices are more than fair and no other place could beat there prices/service/warranty. These guys are great and definitely coming here again.
We have been customers of Redwood General Tire for >25 years and have always trusted the service and appreciated the skills of the team. Our last visit (a few months ago) was not such a good experience as the desk person forgot to pay attention to the completion of a key service request (replace the brakes) and didnt realize the car was still in the queue until we called at the end of the day to pick up the car. The car had to be left over night and the work completed the next day. I hope the staff has become more knowledgeable and attentive to customer requests for service.
They had a nice selection in stock, including my preferred location Cooper touring. There is lots of capacity, too; so I was able to drop in with no appointment and get helped immediately. I decided to keep one of my tires to use as a spare and the tech out it in the trunk for me, wrapped in a bag (nice touch).
These guys are great. Reasonably priced. Seems honest and trustworthy. How did I came to that conclusion? I sat there for about 2.5 hours waiting for alignment and tire work for my car. I overhead many conversations - they are honest about what customers actually need, and would advise customer if they dont think certain expenses are necessary. I heard a painful conversation where the guy was compassionately giving advise to someone who obviously badly need a tire fixed with very limited budget, and the poor guys tire is already complete bare and way beyond its useful life. Anyway, feels like a old village shop where you are talking to people who actually cares.As for my own service, it went great. They installed 4 new tires for me from Tirerack, plus alignment work. They called me the day when they received the shipment, and got me in the next day. Also gave me a 10% discount on the alignment.
I scraped my wheels and noticed there was a small cut in the sidewall of my tire. I came and I asked them to check it out and they said everything was fine and sent me on my way and wouldn’t even let me give them a few dollars. I really appreciate the friendliness of the staff and putting safety first.
Fast, friendly and professional service. Coffee in the lobby while you wait . We had a tire replaced on the Benz that wasnt too expensive. We will continue to come here for our vehicle tire needs.
Always great service and reasonable prices. I usually can have routine maintenance performed while I wait as long as I show up early. Been a satisfied customer for at least 5 years.
I have always received good service at Redwood General, along with service options and explanations. Love the upgrades to the waiting area and cleanliness and tidiness of their service area. It shows they take great pride in what they do and what they have to offer. I really like that they can work on a wide range of vehicles too.
They took care of my Class C RV with a nail and a slow leak in a rear tire. Friendly and quick service and a very reasonable price.
They all the things right!
Straightforward, honest, no double-talk or sales pressure. Fast and efficient, didnt pad the bill or do anything extra; everything was clearly explained. Ill be getting all of my tires needs done there.
This tire company is a local business in RWC and is 100% worth a stop for new tire service. The customer service is excellent and they cover all price point ranges on good solid tires. I love my new pirellis, and they were worth every dime paid!
Charles Torres was a huge help to me. My old car needed a lot of work done. He found out that it had many overdue repairs, and we talked budget. He put in an extra hour talking to the mechanic and talking to me about my priorities. He even asked management to loan me a hundred dollars for a month.Redwood General Tire is a great shop. Ive used them for five years now and am a lifetime fan. I found them through my Palo Alto mechanics, The Car Doctors, who said they are true experts and very very honest. So I drive ten miles to see them. And am always glad I do.My top recommendation, tip top.
Staff are always professional and responsive. They are efficient, getting patrons in and out in timely manner. And, they are fair priced and they get the job done the first time. I have been a customer since the 1990 and would never think of going anywhere else.
Super nice guys. Really straightforward explanations of the issues and they always try to give me a good deal. They work on my huge custom diesel 4x4 van as well as my fancy Audi.
Great service! Fast and friendly. I liked them a lot!
Great service and reasonable prices. Knowledgeable staff. Have no complaints after using Redwood General tire for more than 20 years.
Always great friendly & affordable service. Charles and the whole team is why—even though I moved from RWC,—I still drive up from San Jose to get my work done.
Excellent service and very friendly personnel! Have had my tires installed here on many of my vehicles. Always a good selection and fair prices.
Outstanding speed, customer service, and work space in the lounge. A++ would get tire punctured again.
Redwood General Tire Pros is a place you can trust - plain and simple! They have built their reputation in our community over many years and they stand by their excellent work and they provide excellent service. You wont be sorry. Our cars have always been very well taken care of by Alpios ace team!
Ive been going to general tire for about 10 or 15 years. I love their prices, selection, quality of service. I love the fact that they will rotate your tires for free if you buy the tires there. They are usually pretty fast too. They have WIFI, coffee, clean bathrooms and very comfy chairs for while you wait.I would have given 5 stars except that in the last year or two Ive noticed the service guys being more rude/arrogant/grumpy with me. For a commodity like tires, I can go anywhere, wish theyd realize that and not have an attitude (especially after seeing Ive been a loyal customer over the years). They used to be so patient and explain things. But I see it improving over my last few visits again.
They have great customer service and they are very good at what they do. I have already recommend them to a couple of my friends.
These guys are the best! I would never go anywhere else for tires, I cant wait to come back here again.
Lots of bays to turn customers through quickly. Will work with you to find right tire for your budget. Lots of brands and lots of options. Local company where employees stay for years, meaning they are likely paid a living wage.
Following an accident, the team here was super helpful with making an assessment, getting us an estimate and working with our insurance to determine total damage and compensation. My car ended up being a complete loss, so I cant speak to their actual repair work. I would definitely go back though.
The guys at Redwood General Tire are knowledgeable, helpful and honest. Service here is excellent. I recommend them to everyone.
Guys here are knowlegable, and informative. They are willing to help. Have been going here for many years. Great service!
We have taken all of our cars here for over twenty years. Redwood General is fast, efficient and honest. (and they have good coffee)
Theyve gone above and beyond for our family. Great service, friendly people, timely updates.
Went there to get my wheels balanced, as there were notable vibrations at highway speeds. They charged about 80 dollars for the service which is reasonable here in this area. But after completing the service they tried to convince me that I needed new tires, which was complete nonsense as they were only a few months old. Furthermore, the vibrations were still there afterwards, so they completely screwed up the balancing job. Went to a different workshop to get the wheels balanced again and to get the tires checked. Unsurprisingly, the tires turned out to be fine and the vibrations were gone afterwards too.
Always have a great experience here. High standards for customer service and they will get your vehicle back to you quickly.
Redwood General Tire Pros is the only place Ill take my car when I have issues with the wheels, even after moving out of Redwood City. They are always friendly, quick, and the price is reasonable. This place is highly recommended!
Good place for all of your Car needs.
Excellent service and very honest. Have been dealing with Alex for years. They service all our nine vehicles.
Alex, thank you and your team for being very helpful, professional and friendly. Get the job done and answered all my other questions.
For Wheel Alignment... they do the job.
Large location. Good prices on tires. Quality installation and customer service.
All the Boys are are grayous well trained and knowledgeable. We always get GREAT service and fast too!
30 yrs Ive been going here . Great company, simply awesome !
My cars timing belt gave out on Highway 101, and I was towed to this shop because it was the closest one to where I broke down. What a stroke of good luck! The service was great, and staff was very helpful and friendly. They walked me through the issue and the possible costs involved depending on how bad things were when they to started taking things off to replace the timing belt. In the end it was a pretty expensive repair, but their price came in below their initial quote and was right in line with what a job of that complexity would cost anywhere else. They also got it done quickly, and put down a nice piece of plastic sheeting and paper mat when they test drove the car to make sure they didnt get any grease/dirt anywhere while driving it. Those are the kind of little details that mark a good shop -- shows they take pride in their service.
Prompt, reasonably-priced service. I have used them for tires and puncture repairs, and I have had them do the servicing on my RV.
Great service and you can depend on them to get things done on time. I have been coming here for many years and always have a good result.
Great prices and really friendly staff. You really cant go wrong at Redwood General Tire. The best waiting room is nice too, they have free wi-fi and outlets.
I appreciate the professionalism of the Service Reps. at Redwood General Tire Pros. We now go to them for all our auto servicing as well as for tires.
They do good work.
Great customer experience
IT IS THE ONLY PLACE TO GO THEY ARE HONEST AND STRAIGHT FORWARD AND IF AS IN MY CASE THEY DID NOT HAVE MY TIRES BUT COULD HAVE THEM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND THEY WERE THERE AND OFF I WENT ON MY TRIP TO CANDA......SAFE AND SOUND THANKS RGTP
I have been a Redwood General Tire customer for about 15 years now. To my knowledge they provide the best tire service in the area (Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City, etc.). Their service, attention to detail, and careful treatment of my car makes me a big fan.
This is the best place to get tires and have your car serviced in the Bay Area.
I am pleased with the service they provide and have benn a customer for more than ten years.
Great service and fast
Big operation, friendly staff. Had a vehicle inspected there and they did a thorough check, but took 2 days longer than they quoted, which was frustrating.
Great, quick service! Shout-out to Sal for helping me out :)!
These guys are really good. That is why we come back.
Excellent honest place to get your car worked on. All service and very friendly staff.
Super friendly and knowledgeable sales staff. Stellar service all the way, gone there for many years.
Great service sales and people who work there are curtious
I got a set of tires $335 out the door. I waited about 90 minutes and was pretty happy with the service, wait time and deal.
Best tire and alignment, tire rack preferred vendor, roadforce balancing.
Tony did a wonderful job on the tires, explained dates and condition of tires. He arrived within specified time.
A great place for all your car services. Very professional and very honest diagnostics of your car problems and maintenance.
They gave me the best price for four tires and were really nice as well
Honest, reliable, fair car repair shops are so hard to find.This is one.
I drove 30 miles in one direction to go to this place because a friend recommended it it was well worth it accurate estimate good work clean waiting room nice people.
Amazing service and hard work always quality
An 8 am appointment for a ball joint and alignment was a four hour ordeal.
I go here for all big truck demands
Prices are high...but service is great. Wish they had a appt drop in for oil changes that you can wait for but they take a long while for service.
The owner and his staff and really professional!
The service and quality at Redwood General Tire is beyond compare! I would not go anywhere else.
General Tires very clean place and a very helpful and very knowledgeable
I hope not to have car concerns, however.....when I do I will be returning here
Very good service and attention to customer.
