Reviews of Point S Affordable Tire & Service (Tires)

Dalan Angelo

Super affordable, super reasonable and accommodating. Had my car turned around in a couple hours. Price on my 4 tires was nearly $200 less than I was being quoted at Costco. They did encourage me to replace my struts which I didn't end up doing, but I did get the impression the concerns were legitimate. All in all highly recommend these guys.

I took my car in for new tires and an oil change and when I picked it up, they had it parked in a 1 hour zone with a parking ticket on it! I went back inside assuming they would take the fine off my bill. Instead the employee didn't know how to deal with this situation (DON'T GET PARKING TICKETS ON CUSTOMERS CARS!?!) had me call back in the morning to speak to the manager who refused to refund my debit card and rudely only offered credit on future service. LOL! After such poor business and customer service practice I cannot trust them with my vehicle. I had taken my car there 3 times in the past and would have returned. I hope they are happy with losing a customer for not pay a ticket that THEY got! BAD BUSINESS!

AVOID THIS COMPANY IF POSSIBLE! Went in for a slight shaking, "James" seemed like a really nice guy. After they looked at it, he quoted me a $3000 + repair job for a 10 year old Civic, wanting to replace almost every component that touches the wheels (control arms, bushings, every tire). Best part? Estimate was a handwritten note on the back of my original info sheet. He told me he could get it done today and how would I like to pay for this HUGE BILL? Credit card, James? It should be noted that "James" was really nice, even though every other part seemed very shady. I decided to get a second opinion. Went to the Honda dealership, and they found a problem with a single tire (radial belt shifted?) and some other minor things that might have contributed (need new brakes). I'm sure these guys do a good job, but there is literally nothing "affordable" about Affordable Tire and Brake

I had a nail in my tire that was causing a slow pressure leak. These guys were the closest repair shop so I decided to give them a shot. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and didn't take themselves too seriously. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes and they didn't charge me a dime for the repair. I will absolutely be coming back if (when) I need more service for my tires and I hope others will too.

Brian Wurtz

I had a nail in my tire and took it in to get patched after calling to make sure they weren't busy. The guy i talked to said my tires were too worn, refused to repair it, and tried to sell me a set of brand new tires. I went to another shop where they said my tires are still fine and they repaired it for free. Pretty terrible costume service to refuse to do a patch in the hopes of convincing me to buy new tires for over $1000 on the spot.

fused my breaks good, but it was $$$$

Went in for an oil change. They also did an inspection and Tyler Arp "Store Manager" came out and told me "I've got some bad news". He quoted me $2500 worth of repairs on items such as gas struts, control arms, battery replacement, powersteering service, and automatic transmission service. I went to a service location that was highly recommended by my family friends and was told that the gas struts were worn sure but in not need of replacement and that the real problem with my car was with the alternator. I got quoted $500 at the other service location. They are knowledgeable sure, they are even extremely friendly people. But it's all a ruse, all so they can take your money. So at the end of the day, this place tries to steal from you.

Josh Chau

I went here to get tires for my MR2 Spyder and they not only had competitive prices, but great service as well. I want to specifically applaud Corey. He helped me a lot. While they mounted my tires, they also found that one of my wheel bearings needed to be replaced. When I stopped by, Corey lifted my car and showed the excessive play on my passenger side rear tire. I decided to shop around for a better price, but this place can't be beat! I usually never take my car to shops because I do the work myself. I've had bad experience with mechanics on the past. But this experience renewed my faith in auto repair shops. I would highly recommend this place for any of your needs, they don't just do tires!

Tallon Cote

I went there just to get my tire pressure checked, but they were very friendly and knowledgeable. The employee who checked my tire pressure knew where to look in my Volkswagen for tire pressure recommendations and knew where the tire pressure sensor button was in my car. Not sure if it’s common knowledge, but they were very nice!

Sam Dangol

Awesome service and great deal prices. It was my very good experience.Krish is awesome and very helpful person. I recomended people to go there and meet Krish. He will help you guys.

Scott Coull

Amazing quick service!

Emily Mandagie

Affordable Tire Factory is the only service provider that has ever worked on my car, and I'm going to keep it that way. Even though I don't live in the U District anymore, I will still make the effort to come here for my car. They keep detailed records of my services, remind me of oil changes, and treat me like a valued customer every time I come in. There have been times where I have only needed a headlight changed and another time where I needed almost 2k of maintenance done. Regardless of the reason I am in there, the employees are kind, and their service is unbeatable. Because I drive children around for my job, I go to Affordable Tire because I know they do the job right the first time. Thank you for keeping me and my kiddos safe!

Starbird Management

Fantastic experience. Fast, to the point, and fixed my tire for FREE! 15 minutes before they closed to boot. Thank you guys. Will definitely be referring people in need.

Jennifer Lisle

Excellent quick service with a smile! We are from out of town and had a screw lodged in our tire, and needed to get to a doc appt at UWMC. They got us in, finished an hour earlier than quoted, and didn't charge us!

Alexander Abel

Got a new tire the day of and at a good price.

Raven Christensen

Great service! They patched my tire for free and noted that my shocks are leaking and should be replaced soon. They even included pictures showing the leaks.

Luther Harris

I give you guys an A + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Ric Lewis

Fast and professional. Took good care of my blown out tire.

brianne hern

Repeat customer. They staff is incredible and took the time to show and explain everything to me. Fair pricing and a free tire patch!

Adam

These guys are knowledgeable, approachable and efficient. They have my business and my recommendation.

Trylla Tuttle

I've only ever had positive experiences here! I've taken my car there 4 or so times, the last time being today. Being a girl I always fear I will get screwed over at places but they never try and get me to do things i don't need. I recently got my oil changed and the people told me i had some oil leaks and quoted me 250 dollars for the work. I told them no thanks and took it to affordable break and tire and got it for HALF the price. The customer service is excellent and the guys are all very nice. Don't ever hesitate to take your car here.

Samiat Agunbiade

This place is such a rip off! Do not waste your money. The quoted me one price and I ended paying way more. The management is awful!

Alonso Chehade

Affordable for Car Maintenance Services but Expensive for Car Repairs I have serviced my car in this shop since 2009. Overall I had a great experience bringing my car here for basic maintenance services. They are truly the most affordable in Seattle and overall customer service is OK. However when it came to repairs, (more than once) I had to deal with the following issues: - Shop did not fix my car right the first time. Car had to get towed back to the shop. - Shop did not own up to "obvious" mistakes until after complaining multiple times. - Solving the problem costed more than the estimate. (A tough one for students on a tight budget). Hope this review helps you save some money but avoid dealing with a bad auto repair experience.

CK Hwa

I appreciate the friendly and knowledgeable staff here. There was a concern with my vehicle. They checked it, gave good suggestions, and didn’t even charge me for it.

Joe Keil

Great, friendly service. Oil change was faster than I expected, thank you!

Tina Lawson

Got free oil change coupon in mail! Great customer service!

Omar Shahine

Came in after getting a puncture in my tire and was finished in 1 hour. Easy and fast. Good customer service. Best of all they did not charge me. That’s amazing.

Elizabeth Kirby

They do a good job.

Anya Chmelir

I knew something was wrong with my brakes but It definitely was NOT worth the price quoted. I brought my car in and they told me my rotors and pads needed to be replaced and that my calipers were seized and that I needed to get it done now. $700!?! I told them I could not afford it. The lady on the phone was so sweet and offered me a ton of options. I just knew I had to atleast try someplace else. The next hour or so I brought it to another mechanic who quoted me $100 because my pads were literally nonexistent - metal to metal. Also, he popped my hood open and to my surprise my air filter was laying on top of my engine. No one else touched my car that day except these guys. It was completely out of place and sitting right on top. I didn't even bring my car in to get that looked at!?! Thanks for reminding me that I need to replace my air filter though? The staff were all very friendly I just can't afford this place and didn't enjoy my experience.

Katrina Santos

Been here a few times - always super sweet and never overcharge. Really easy scheduling and quick repairs. I would definitely recommend them!

Azuolas Dunaravich

These guys were amazing, had me back on the road in 30 minutes flat.

Myles Jordan

Fixed my not-so-slow leaking puncture the other day for no charge whatsoever, even though I hadn't even bought the tires from them to begin with... and the best part is that I told them I was in a real hurry that day, and they listened (no, really!) and had it done within 20mins!

Money Mike

Amazing service! Barb Carefoot made my day! Things were looking to go south for me this morning. I was making deliveries to local hospitals, when I came across a flat tire. My dysfunctional spare tire got me to Point S Tire Factory. This is where I meet Barb the store manager. I explained my situation and urgency to get back to work quickly. She was very understanding and made room to squeeze me in and got my tire fixed with in 30mins! Just by her doing this she made the rest of my day roll smoothly. If it wasn't for Barb making room to service my tire as quickly as she did, so many things would of went wrong this morning. Thank you Barb! Your service was excellent! And please thank your crew for me.

Ed Mata

I brought my 2013 Mini Cooper Countryman and received excellent service , the manager Barb was super friendly & professional. I highly recommend this business to anybody .

Forrest Allison

They replaced my tires at a reasonable price, but when they recommended other work, the parts were INCREDIBLY overpriced. They wanted $600 for all four struts. It will be $200 if I buy quality parts online. They wanted 80 for each ball joint. The ball joints are $20 online for ones better than OEM. DO NOT GO HERE and if you must, bring your own parts. Truly remarkable. Do your googling before they try to sell you anything

Shering Reeves

Quality mechanics good prices on tires. I love them.

Xavier Wasserzug

Great service

Emily Thomas

I called in for a service that they don't offer, and they took the time to walk me through the best options despite the fact that I wasn't able to do business with them. I love companies with that kind of integrity and customer service.

Shiyi Lin

Most disgusting mechanics shop i have ever met. When i come into the store with a coolant leak they told me it is 89.95 to diagnose the problem. The second day they told me it will take them hours to diagnose it and labor cost is almost $400. Third day (after they have dissemble the engine) they told me it will cost $3000 more to fix the problem. So I tried to send the car to dealership to have it fixed. But they have no idea how to put the car into neutral so the car can be towed. That is already the fourth day. On the fifth day they did not let the the truck tow my car so I have to call the tow truck again to do the towing. And they gave me a $527 bill because they don't know why the gas would pump out when they put the car into neutral so that put some new parts into the engine. The most ridiculous thing is that the dealership mechanic tells me they have totally made a mess because they just dissemble my car and put all the parts into back seat and trunk. So they have to look for every parts and match them. When they know I am not going to spend $3000 to fix the car, they offer a cash tradein price for $4000 for my $60,000 car. They will totally rob you. Apologize for any grammar mistake, I am not a native speaker. So after 5 days, I find myself out $500 and my car in a terrible position with engine dissembled and parts everywhere.

Joel Ruiz

Don't GO here. Huge scam. They have been reported to the better business bureau. I made the mistake to go twice. First time they told me I needed new shocks and my car was 2 years old. I didn't replace them. 2nd time they told me that my car had a bent frame. Took it somewhere else and my car was aligned without a problem. They really don't know what they are doing.

Robert Rodriguez

They were crazy quick in helping me with my flat tire. Very dog friendly as well.

Jason Lussier

This place is great! Got a flat on our way to Seattle from Canada. The staff was very honest and found a solution that worked best for us. I would definitely recommend these guys-great shop!

Anthony G

I came in to have a screw taken out of my tire. They patched it up and swapped out my spare in a jiffy, free of charge. Friendly staff made my day after it had been ruined by a flat!

Craig Faunce

I had a tire puncture and limped into this shop. Since I busted the sidewall, I needed a new pair of tires. While the car was in the shop, the technician called to tell me I needed a new battery and the car wouldn't start. I said no thanks. Then ten minutes later I called for an update and it the battery miraculously worked again. Classic up-sell junk business tactics.

Emily Lautenbach

Good service and relatively easy to get appointments. I feel like they talk you into more than you need, though.

Alastair Burgess

Absolutely thrilled with these guys- being completely car-ignorant, I took my car to a Grease Monkey for one of their free brake inspections where they told me I had 3 millimeters left on my front brake pads and needed them replaced immediately, and that they'd charge $449.00!!! Thank god there price was so ridiculous that I didn't go through with it. Since I also needed new tires, I decided to look elsewhere and called these guys up. They were WAY more affordable, and Barb provided excellent customer service, so I dropped my car off yesterday morning ready to pay a good chunk for 4 new tires, alignment, and new front brake pads. When they inspected my front brake pads and found that they still had at least half of their life left in them, rather then go through with the job anyways and charge me, when I would be none the wiser, Barb called me instead and told me that Grease Monkey essentially lied to me and that my brake pads did not need replacing. As someone who doesn't know much about cars, I need to be able to trust who I send mine to. Barb and her crew at Point S were honest with me and so I ended up saving big not having to pay for unneeded brakes. (I DID have them do the tires and so far they drive great, very affordable too!) As a result, they can count on my business when the time does come for me to get brakes replaced. May not seem like a big deal, but it matters to me! Point S: 5/5 stars Grease Monkey: -1/5 stars

Eva Zhang

They gave me a detailed review of my old broken parts, which was really helpful.

Ann Kalberg

I have had three repair/oil changes done at Affordable Tire and have found them to be very professional and thorough, offer good customer service and at an affordable price.

Lily Tygert

I took my car in to get an entire new cooling system and they were extremely helpful and quick. They explained to me what needed to be replaced and why, and gave me a price break down. Not only that, but it was done by 3 THAT SAME DAY. The manager Tyler is really nice too. I haven't had a problem with it since and I will be bringing my car back to them for all it's service needs!

Connelly Barnes

I bought some tires here. So far, so good.

Laura O'Neill

after taking my tire to another shop that said they couldn't repair it and tried to sell me $500 worth of tires, these angels fixed the tire FOR FREE in an hour. won't be going anywhere else.

Kyler Dotson

I took my car in for a simple alignment, which they said they could do. I dropped my car off and they later called me, stating that the alignment couldn't be done because my shocks were worn out - their explanation didn't make much sense. Of course, they offered to replace all of the shocks for a high price, which I refused. I took my car to a different shop which had no problem doing the alignment.

Annie Layer

Great people, fast service, reasonable prices.

Jason Murray

I have been using this shop since for over 10 years. It has changed names a few times, managers have come and gone, but one thing that hasn't changed is its commitment to customer service. With automotive repair, things come up and the unexpected can occur. This shop has always come through and done the right thing. Highly recommend.

David Steen

Great, friendly staff that are willing to go the extra mile to make your visit a pleasant one. As far as tires go, they are very affordable! Coffee, WiFi, and movies while you wait.

Graham Gordon

This place rocks. They fixed my tire quickly.

Saed Amoura

Great fast and friendly service.

Sarah Leach

I came in to get a tire with a slow leak patched before a cross-country road trip. Made the mistake of telling them that I was leaving the state the next day and not coming back (and being a young, single female). They patched the tire and told me I needed $1000 worth of brake work, several belts replaced and new suspension. I got the brakes done even though they always felt responsive. I didn't spend the $900 they wanted for the suspension/struts. Had that looked at by my mechanic at home and they told me it was fine. Probably didn't need the brakes done either. Watch out - these guys WILL take advantage of you if they get a chance! :-(

Hayden Hong

Took my car in for a synthetic oil change and tore rotation. I was quoted $80. I got my car back. The oil was changed and the tires were rotated. I was charged $80. This was a pretty good place to go. No hassling about unnecessary maintenance items, I know my car is in good condition and doesn’t need any urgent repairs or maintenance. I would definitely go again!

Carri Kaplan

most amazing costumer service ever. friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, honest and efficient. you are in good hands with these proffessionals

Zak Ames

Got new tires there for two cars. They're fast, friendly, and offer amazing service. I popped a flat (ran over a screw), and they repaired the tire, mounted it and all, for free. In 30min. Who does that? (The only negative reviews I see are for non-tire stuff.)

Abi Gail

They were very honest and sympathetic. Thought it would be a better idea to bring my car to the dealership so they waived the diagnostic! I am very thankful I went there first. I would recommend them to anyone.

Alexander Duane

Zach is the man! Friendly and clear about how busy the shop is. Gave a spot-on time estimate and was helpful. Thanks

Matt Netkow

Great experience here! After my tire blew out yesterday on I5, I barely managed to make it over to them. They were very sympathetic, fixed the tire in under an hour, and didn't charge me a dime. Great service, and much appreciated!

Jennifer Huynh

Barb is the kindest and turned my day around. Great experience and quick.

ink spot

Free tire repair...i thought it was a hook too but when i got my truck in the with a flat, they fixed er right up then told me it was free. Needless to say they're doing my oil changes and regular maintenance now. Good honest shop.

Connan Gaboriault

I have been going to this tire shop since 2006 and have always had good service until recently. On my last trip, two examples have made me make the decision to take my business elsewhere: when I retrieved my car, I checked that my spare tire had been locked down in the trunk. When I opened the hatchback door, the lift cover for the trunk space was all askew. Upon further inspection, the right side rope that pulls this lift cover open was down to a thread. When I tried to put the lift in place--that string broke. The trunk lift cover worked perfectly when I dropped the car off and now it did not. The second thing, was that I was told that all of my struts needed replacing and that one of them was leaking. Since I was only in for a set of tires, I told them I would check that strut issue with my garage in Ballard. Good thing--my Ballard garage said there was nothing wrong with my struts. Point S is not the old Affordable Tire.

Wenzel Peikert

This shop helped us with an unusual request to help and get a stranger back on the road. Someone was having a bad day and need help to avoid getting towed. We bought them a tire and Point S located a used rim for them. Great local shop. They care while the big shops do not!!

geovanni68

Professional business with knowledgeable friendly staff and mechanics. My 1st visit for a nail in the tire repair.

Irene Yim

Best customer service ever!!

Erin Gorup

Very friendly staff, appointment flexibility, prompt service, free tire patch, the list goes on! All around 5 stars.

Rocky Rivard

This is a review for a service about 4 months previous, I want to make sure they know how appreciative of their help I was. I had four new tires installed on my vehicle a few days prior at Costco, and for some reason one of them unseated from the wheel. They were the closest shop in the area, so I threw the spare on and went there. They took care of getting my tire back on the Wheel and getting me back on the road in under an hour on a busy day, and regardless that I was not a prior customer, and that I didn't purchase the tires from them, they handed me an invoice with a zero balance. So if you're looking for great service and want to support a local establishment, Point S is where to go. Thanks guys, keep up the great work!

Nicole Schreck

They helped me out with only a minute notice and were extremely friendly! Although the news wasn't good about my car, they gave me lots of options and in the end I'm happy with my service, the price, and my car's repairs! They even offered to do some other services for free that aren't usually offered at auto repair places. Recommended this place to all my friends!

kofster

I needed my tires to be replaced on my 2010 VW Tiguan. I visited Discount Tire, and the Dealership and just felt that I was being oversold on everything. I had a slow puncture on the front passenger side tire, so I needed this to be done sooner rather than later. I found a few tires that I liked and contacted Point S Tire to set up an appointment. I couldn't of been happier; they fitted the new tires in just over an hour and had me on my way without any issues. I also didn't know that there are plenty of Point S tire locations around the state, which is good to know. Overall, the process was simple without any hassles.

AL Jones

Patched my tire up for free! Very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back when I need a new set of tires.

Paris St. Clair

Replaced one tire at an excellent price. Months later, needed a different tire patched and they did not even charge! Kind, honest, and quick service. Lucky they are in my neighborhood!!

Eric Martinez

I have been going to Point S in Seattle (the 98105 zip code location) since it was Affordable Tire. I have purchased one set of tires, had three sets of tires installed, and had a comprehensive brake job there. On 24 October 2018 I had my most recent set of tires installed. My significant other dropped off the vehicle and picked it up. It was not until that weekend I noticed my wheels were completely scratched from curb rash and near the center cap. She spoke to the assistant manager and manager and they denied the rash was of their doing. I admit one wheel had curb rash, but not all four and definitely not around the lip of the wheel. I do not have before and after photos, but then again, I would have never thought of taking photos given the previous successful work performed at this location. I am seeking assistance on this matter as I am completely frustrated. My car is 11 years old but only has 70k miles on it. I drive only on weekends and always walk around the car prior to driving to check for defects. I am certain these curb rashes and center lock scratching was caused by service performed on my car at Point S. I never leave reviews but though this one was worth my time.

Quin Christensen

Made an appointment, but they didn't write down my name. Nowhere to park. Nobody greets you when you arrive. Waited for awhile. Car makes noise now, probably due to unbalanced tire. Overheard another customer complaining about the same problem. Avoid at all costs.

Gavin Cross

If they can repair your flat tire, they will do it for free

Chloe Jia

We got a flat tire this morning, they helped us to change the spare tire for free in less than 20mins. Amazingly nice and friendly people!
