“I was on my way home to big bear and broke down in the middle of the 210 freeway and had to get my truck towed to a mechanics. Being from out of town I just Google mapped mechanics and express tire was one of the first 4.5 star places that came up. When I went to your website I was immediately drawn to your shop because of your daughters pic on the main page. I have 3 young kids and immediately choose you guys for the family look on the site. The next morning as soon as you were open I went into the office and was immediately greeted very friendly by all the staff and especially Ray. Once I told Ray my situation of needing to get back home to big bear he immediately dropped what he was doing grabbed 2 of the other mechanics and helped me push my vehicle across the street and into the yard. After diagnosing the problem of my timing belt going out. They put my truck on priority to get it fixed asap. I spent most of the day there and got a new timing belt, serpentine belt, thermostat, water pump, they flushed my cooling system and changed my oil. I was treated like family and felt like a lifelong customer the entire time I was there. Like I said I'm from big bear but pass by the shop often for work. I will definitely make it a point to return here for other work needed on my truck during my commute to and from work because of how I was treated. Every single one of the employees was amazing and I highly recommend this shop to everyone.”
“Best experience I've ever had with auto service! I am new to the area and I am beyond impressed with the service I was provided. Very patient, understanding, and willing to assist in anyway necessary! Don't waste your time looking around and make this your first choice!”
“The owner Ray is amazing! He is incredibly friendly and reasonable guy! They hooked me up with a used tire that was brand new! Plus I got to hang out at Mantra for delicious coffee and fast internet right next door!”
“5 Stars!”
“5 Stars!”
“I was visiting the area from out of town. I needed an oil change, tire rotation, & tires balanced. I checked google maps for reputable mechanics near by. The ratings & reviews lead me to Express Tire & Auto. From the minute I called... I knew I had the right place. Great service, great price, and they worked hard to get me back on the road in a timely manner. I would definitely have my car serviced here again.”
“I can't over state how impressed I am with Luis and Express Tire and Auto Service. We are from Oregon and my daughter goes to school in Azusa. She had some issues with her carl. Luis was very honest and took such good care of her. Luis I can't thank you enough. It is so comforting to know there is a mechanic that I can trust to take car of my daughters car while she is at college. THANK YOU!!”
“The best service! I felt like I knew Luis for years. Honest that my car only needs a balance job and not a new engine!! Lol. He's a great guy. And Billy also!”
“Found this auto shop on Google and it lives up to its reviews. Friendly staff and great work. One hour from closing and two cars already being worked on they still had time for me I'll be coming here from now on with all my auto repair needs thanks Luis”
“This place is the best shop I have been in years, honest mechanics and fair price is not something you can find often, they really take care of you and they treat you right, ask for Ray or Luis”
“5 Stars!”
“Excellent personalized service with honest solutions to any repair or maintenance of your vehicle - you can't go wrong with Luis and Rosario.”
“Could not recommend a better shop! Luis runs a tight ship here and is a very honest and capable mechanic! I went in for an alignment and not only did he give me a discount for being a local student, he kept the price firm even after running into trouble with my car! Keep up the great work!”
“Great experience when I went in for an oil change, will definitely be coming back. Staff was very personable and so far it seems like an honest, fair business. They had me in and out of there quickly and their sale price was competitive to some of the chain businesses around town.”
“Excellent service. I would recommend their services to anyone.”
“What a great place. Luis is a great mechanic and a honest guy. I highly recommend this place to anyone. God bless you and your family Luis.”
“P.S I'm too lazy to rewrite my review so here is copy version of from my review on Yelp :)
'I was searching for a place to get my power steering pump replaced and I found Luis through another site but after googling their phone number I found their Yelp page. I have been getting more active on Yelp nowadays, I just like reading other people's review before taking my chances with any new businesses and I would not hesitate give my honest opinion.
I can honestly say that Luis is a great guy and I like his work style. He inspected the vehicle to ensure that the problem really is the power steering pump. He then proceeded to explain a few things to me before he started with the repair. I wish there are more mechanics like him.
I like family-owned and operated businesses, they tend to value customer service more and you always get the attention you deserved there. Luis is ASE Certified and he certainly seems to be more knowledgeable than other ASE certified mechanics that I took my car to before. Plus, Express Tires is part of the Tech-Net professional auto service so most of the repair comes with a worry free warranty which is wonderful if you are travelling long distance from home and need assistance with your car. This reminds me of the extra warranty dealers always offer when you purchase one of their vehicles but this comes free with your repair service here at Express Tires.
Luis did pointed out a few more maintenance services that I need to get done but he wasn't pushy about it which also impressed me. It feels like this is your neighborhood mechanic guy that you can trust to get an honest opinion on your car problem rather than a greedy business that is out to empty your pocket (only big dealers are allowed to be greedy because at least you will get the worry-free satisfaction guarantee) If you are not a big dealer and try to charge me the same price, you are off my visit list :)
I have tried a few mechanics since I moved to L.A last year but they all disappointed me one way or another. The biggest thing I disliked about them is they didn't explain the problems to me, they just told me what the problems were and gave me a ridiculous price for it. Perhaps, since I'm a woman and they probably thought there is no way I could understand those complicated mechanic terms anyway so why bother :D But guess what, surprised! this is the information age, you can get any answer online and I always do my research well so I do have some car knowledge.
It did took a little long to get the repair finished but I didn't mind as long as the problem is fixed the right way. I'm not a perfectionist myself but I love them, especially when my mechanic is one! Don't forget to call beforehand to make an appointment. If you have a friend to pick you up, that is great but if you have lazy friends that sleep all Saturday like mine (lol) then there are plenty of places within walking distance from the shop,plus you can get a good work-out for free. In conclusion, I definitely recommend Express Tires to anyone that are in search for a long-term friendly and reliable mechanic for all your car problems. Everybody at Express Tires are great and Luis will get your problems fixed the right way.'”
“EXCELLENT!! This is the place to go for auto repairs, very professional , great mechanic's , they even gave me a ride home as my 2008 KIa was being work on, even steam my engine for free and relace a parking bulb also for free. I have 3 cars from now on I will take them here for service”
“I simply brought my car in for a tire patch and when I mentioned to the owner I was driving to Washington soon he took it upon himself to check all my fluids and found a minor problem that he fixed in no time!! Thank the Lord for this company, without their wonderful service I might have been stuck on the road somewhere!! If I were staying in Azusa this would be the place I would trust with my car as long as I own a car!! And they threw in the tire patch for me, such wonderful trustworthy people!!!”
“I've been going to them for years now. Great staff! Friendly people, and reasonable rates. I trust their work and that's why I still go to them, even though its now a further drive. Worth the trip!”
“I have know Luis since 2000 when he first started his shop in Arrow Hwy, I moved and when I came back He had moved, I was so glad to find him again he is so good and honest, I have always taken my car and my families cars to him. I can tell you that even after all these years he always shows me the parts he replaces and explains why things need to be replaced or why they went bad. I definetly refer him to anyone I know”
“My boyfriend found Express Auto Service in the penny saver. We took my car in thinking my back brakes needed to get replaced. When we got to the shop we were greeted by Luis' wife who then introduced us to Luis. We explained to them how skeptical we were of trying a new place since we had bad experiences with other mechanics and they reassured us that, they were honest and fair people. I will have to agree with that statement. Luis came back and told me that my back brakes were as good as new and just needed cleaning. He did however; find some leaks and missing bolts and pieces. I knew I had to get some work done and had been putting it off because of my past experiences, but the fact that Luis was able to show us and explain what was wrong, what needed to be fixed and why. He gave us a breakdown of the cost of the repair and that made me feel at ease. I have to say, thank you to Luis and his wife. My car is practically new! Luis saved my car! It runs great and now I don’t have to worry about it breaking down. Our experience was wonderful! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will definitely be recommending you to anyone I know and look forward to seeing you in the future for my car needs!”
“Expres tire is an exeptional place to have any automotive work done. I have been using them for several years and they are very honest and provide a high quality of workmanship. Highly recommended!!!! Thanks Luis”
“A while ago I got a flat tire on the 210 on my way to Pasadena. After my spare was put on my car, I searched for an 'open late tire shop,' and this was the first suggested place on my yelp search list, and said the business closed at 5p. I arrived at 4:45, & asked for assistance to see if they could patch my tire. Unfortunately, their hours have changed, and the information on yelp was not updated. I would like to just say that they put their hours aside, and helped me anyway.... once the tire was changed, and my spare tire filled with air, I went into the office to pay. It was then that I found out that one of the owners recently passed away. Aside from their recent loss, closing earlier then what the yelp app stated, and on a Saturday evening, they went above and beyond with helping me. I appreciate the customer service we were given, and I recommend this place to anyone.
Thank you so much for your help that day!!!”
“These guys will take great care of you!! Not only do they go above and beyond but Ray and Louie have hearts of gold!! They treat you like family over there and you can trust them!! I won't take my car anywhere else now that I've found them”
“Ray and Oscar are great mechanics! Had problems with my brakes, came in then Ray diagnosed my car. He found the problem immediately, ordered the parts and they got to work on it. On the same day they were able to completely my car. I will definitely come back to get my cars serviced!”
“I needed a mechanic for one of my 5 vehicles. The check engine light was on, in my toyota 4runner. Told Ray, he said to bring it down. Diagnosed the problem, did his job. Vehicle runs superior now. Customer before me had a 1994-95(?) Cadillac with an oil leak, Ray saw it need a gasket replacement, but much work to get to the gasket. Instead Ray suggested to first try an oil leak additive to solve the problem, instead of the expensive repair($$) ...very good advice!”
“Found a groupon for this place and decided to give it a shot. Ray is a cool dude and is there to help you out. He doesn't try forcing you to get things done, but simply lets you know what can be done. He'll give you an estimate and leave it at that. Great place. Will definitely be back.”
“So glad I found Express Tire and Auto Service through Yelp! Ray was helpful and informative when I called for a quote for a wheel rotation. $69.95 for all four tires can't be beat. They even went out of their way to check for a sound I had been hearing after the service was complete. Hands down one of the best shops in the area; will be coming back again if I need any other repairs.”
“Very nice and professional business! $29 for a oil change and tire rotation. I will be back!”
“I chose this place because of the great reviews here on yelp and I am sure glad I did. I needed an oil change and they did it within the time frame promised. Ray and his associates are very knowledgeable in their line of work. My experience was very pleasant and will definitely go back for future auto repair/maintenance needs.”
“Called at 5:15 to see if it was too late to come in for an oil change -- mind you, I wouldn't get there until 5:30ish and they close at 6. Ray said it was perfectly fine and told me to come on in. They're not like bigger auto repair companies that try to push more services on you. They informed me I would need new tires soon and actually noticed that I had the wrong size tires! (no I did not purchase my previous set of tires from here). I was in and out in no time. I will definitely be going back for future repairs on my car and for my new set of tires! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!”
“So I decided to get my front brakes replaced right before a big road trip. This place has amazing customer service. Loui, the owner, is a man of his words! I came in before to get my back brakes done and I was offered a good deal from one of the other staff. Then I came in today and he acknowledged the same deal. So don't worry, this place won't charge you more than discussed! You will not be ripped off!
I was having a rough day when I brought my car in and Loui honestly made my day with a deep conversation about life. Talking to someone who has the same views of life motivates me. It was also very therapeutic! Loui is a great business owner and great human being! He holds high standards for his shop and guarantees a professional work to be done on your car!
Plus they have an adorable baby American bully that greets you at the door with love bites! This place is full of positive energy and love!... Who knew going to the mechanics would brighten up my day!”
“Got a flat this morning, pulled up a tire shop on Google and had the fortunate luck of finding this place. Their staff was quick, courteous, and pleasant. Where i thought i might have to replace the tire he explained that they would just need to plug it, which would be as good as new and i wouldn't experience another leak from that particular spot. They fixed it and popped it back on for $20. Found out they also do many other services, i will definitely be bringing my car back there.”
“I was driving through town and needed my tires looked at. Express Tires was the first business to come across my screen so I figured I would call to see how quickly I could get my car looked at. I was able to pull my car in and be back on the road 10 minutes later. Very impressed with the great customer service and efficiency I experienced.”
“I had a rim that was beyond repair. Louie got me a great deal on a rim and two tires. Great place to go too and would recommend it to anyone.”
“I've been having issues with my brakes for quite a while. Had them repaired several times, but for some reason... they'd always go out.
I took my car into Express Tire and Auto Service, to be greeted by the nicest/generous man! Louie G. is such a gentleman and a great person! He not only explained the process of fixing brakes, but he also was sensitive to my budget!
I HIGHLY recommend this place for 2 reasons. First, they have great service! They will fix whatever issues your car may have. There is a genuine care for the vehicle you have! Second, Louie G. is an honest man. He says it how it is and also works to give you the best price!
I will definitely be taking my car back to Louie if I need anything done to my car! Thanks LOUIE!”
“This is my 2nd time here at the shop and I found them here on yelp. I love how it's so close to my house. The owner is very nice and friendly. I come here to get my oil changed and I'm very happy with the services. I always have a great experience coming here. Definitely recommend this place!!”
“Searched around for auto repair and tire repair since I needed a patch and oil change. Great service! Staff is very knowledgable and very friendly.”
“Owner is a great guy. Will work with you to get what you need. Good dude.”
“The service is exceptional! It was at the closing time and the employee helped me to replace with my spare time immediately for free! Thank you for your kindness a awesome service!!”
“Louie G is straight up the man. I was having problems with a brake pad replacement which was installed incorrectly at another local mechanic and decided to come here to fix based on all the positive reviews. Louie is real honest and will be straight up with you regarding issues with your car. Very knowledgeable and was quick to let me know what the problem was just by listening.
Also a great guy overall just to talk to. He's been a mechanic for years, a star wars fan, gave me a recipe for guacamole, and just enjoys life. Definitely recommended.
The only difficult part could be locating the shop as it is just behind the plaza on the corner of San Gabriel and Foothill, and can be hidden if a bus is stopped there as well.”
“I never thought my first review would be about a mechanic but here I am telling you all, if you ever need anything repaired
for you car you need to take it to express tire and Auto Service. From setting up my appointment on the phone, to leaving the shop, I have never received such wonderful service. I can honestly say luis the owner made me feel like we've known each other for years. He took the time to teach me what type of filter I had and told me if i ever went to another mechanic I would know how explain to them what I needed. Yes, I am a woman and you may be thinking he was nice to you because you're female, please set that idea aside. Two men came in and he treated these men the same way he treated me. Honesty, friendly and loyalty is what this business is all about. If you want someone who is passionate about cars go to Luis. If you love good quality customer service go to Luis. If you want to chit chat about traveling, food, family and cars go to Luis.”
“Great first experience. Came in to get a quote for a full set tire change and was treated very well. I was greeted was kindness and generosity. All my questions were answered adequately and honestly. I would highly recommend coming here for any vehicle repairs.”
“I was leaving a restaurant in Azusa and at least 5 people flagged me down to tell me I had a flat front tire. Knowing that I had to take care of it pronto I googled 'Flat Tire Azusa' and up came the listing for this shop, less than 1 mile away. I knew nothing about the place but took a chance. What a pleasant surprise and what a great find is Luis and this shop! He offered to repair the flat but I opted for a pair of new front tires instead. Luis showed me a range of prices for new tires and was very clear and upfront about the total cost. While I waited (took about 2 hours as they had to fetch the tires--he told me it would take that long and offered to take me back to work, but I opted to wait) we had a nice chat. He was just so kind and pleasant. I was soon on my way and know I'll be back for the two back tires! Thanks Luis for all your help.”
“Warm hospitality on a cold day! Lois and his team made the tire business so pleasant! Highly recommended if you need any tire service that is done right. They are able to order any tires you need also, a much needed tailored made service in the Azusa area.”
“Tires were getting worn out so I decided to make a stop in. They were very friendly and had me in and out in no time! Reasonable pricing and very honest as well. I definitely recommend checking it out if you ever need a fix up.”
“Outstanding service! I stopped in today for an oil change and I'm so thankful I've stumbled across this great family-owned repair shop (thank you, Yelp). I'm driving down to San Diego later today, and Luis went above and beyond to ensure that my car was safe and taken care of.
What can I say about Luis that hasn't already been said? He's wonderful: very knowledgeable, honest, hard-working, and definitely put me at ease right away.
It's always refreshing when I come across someone so genuine and approachable. He's passionate about cars and it's evident in the way he operates; not only that, he is a kind and caring person. I highly recommend his services and I look forward to my next visit. I walked in as a new customer and when I walked out, I felt like family.
Five well-deserved stars.”
“Such friendly, fast and honest service. Luis is extremely nice and makes an effort to get to know his customers. Will definitely take my car here again in the future”
“This place has been incredibly kind and generous. Today was my third experience, and this time they just helped me get my battery charged across the street.
I will definitely be returning again and again for car needs whenever I am in Azusa. Definitely one of the few places I feel I can trust will be honest and helpful at a reasonable cost.”
“I found a nail in my tire today and was very anxious since I am taking my car to San Francisco tomorrow! Louie was able to help me immediately and on top of his great, speedy service, he's a pretty funny guy! I was so grateful for the help and to have found a trustworthy place in the area. Thanks for a great experience!”
“So I recently drove over a curb and popped my left front and rear tires. I was lucky to have been close to these guys. Not only did they find me a great priced tires, but when they went to pick them up from their suppliers and they didn't have the cheap ones they grabbed a premium pair and sold them to me for the price we had agreed on.
Great staff, honest mechanics, I am bringing my car back to these guys!”
“Excellent service. Luis helped me look at my tire which had a slow leak. After spending about 39 minutes examining the tire he couldnt find a leak. I offered to pay him for his time but he refused my money. Just make sure to get there early if possible. Will definitely be back in the future!”
“My daughter wanted to take the 2007 Toyota Corolla to college this year but I did not have time to change the oil beforehand.
I found this place on Yelp and gave it a try.
Luis is very friendly and straightforward. He gave us an estimate and a discount and told us it would take about an hour (because there were other customers)
When we came back he said he had checked some other items on the car (brakes, coolant, etc) and told us everything looks good.
I would come back to this place if my daughter's car had any issues.”
“Never disappointed here! My tire was leaking air for a while and I put off getting it fixed and just pumped air into it, but it was about time I get my tire patched. I called to see their hours and Luis was nice enough to accommodate me and my busy schedule. He actually came in early before he normally opens and patched my tire up as well as do an inspection on my car. Seriously this is the only place I'm going to go to for my car needs now. Luis is very nice and knowledgeable and honestly answered all of my questions.”
“Luis is one seriously cool guy- I'm pretty sure he's the owner. He helped me out in a pinch.... I got a nail in the rear tire of my motorcycle at work and couldn't wait 3 hrs for a tow truck. Plugged it up at no charge so I could at least get home. Ended up having an hour-long conversation despite him having a list of things to do I'm sure. So if you're looking for someone personable, I'd like to refer you to his business. It's the least I can do to repay a helping hand. We could use more people like this!”
“Went to have my rotors turned and not only was the service courteous and efficient but it was also very economical! Very convenient to have them so close. Would highly recommend.”
“I needed brake related service. Called in day of and received a better quote than other places around and took my car in the same day. Took only 2-3 hours. Friendly staff, fair pricing, and excellent service!”
“Traveling home on the freeway back to Vegas and I noticed my car wobbling as I was driving. Pulled over and yelped tire repair and found this place. Never been to Azusa, but I had no choice since I needed to be home. Found this tire shop and met Louie. He explained that it was a bad tire and I needed to replace it. He managed to give me a great deal on a used tire just to ensure I made it to Nevada safely! What a life saver!
It's very difficult being a woman and not knowing much about cars. To know that there are still genuine people who don't try to take advantage is a great feeling. Especially since I was in a hurry. I would recommend this place. Thanks again!”
“Looked up shops on yelp decided to give them a try since its close to home... I called for an estimate first then stopped by for a quick repair... Left in less than 20 min with the job done and at a very low price... I would recommend this shop to friends Luis was very nice and he even lowered my price from the original estimated price. Great service, fast and friendly!!!”
“Great customer service and mechanics who know what they are doing. I have had a few repairs done here including AC, engine tuning, and your typical oil change. The shop is in a convenient location right next to downtown azusa and is easily accessible. I would recommend this shop to anyone.”
“I highly recommend this shop. They are honest and they wont force you to do a service that you don't really need at the moment. Thoroughly explained my car's current condition. The estimate they gave me for transmission and fuel inj service was far cheaper that the dealer and other small shops around.”
“Very friendly service; I felt completely comfortable with what I was being sold. Will definitely be a returning customer after my 1st experience here.”
“I found this shop about a month or so ago and I'm so glad! I'm very particular about trusting a mechanic and I had just moved away from my other shop. I went in based off all the good reviews and I couldn't agree more with every single positive post!
The owner Louie has definitely earned my trust!
I brought in my Honda for a battery change and since came back for a flat and plan to bring it back for some regular tune ups that have been on hold until I was able to find this place! I've since brought my husbands bronco that no other mechanic knew what was wrong with it. Louie got it fixed and out the shop in the same day! I'm so grateful and pleased!
Thanks so much for the work you guys did!!”
“Luis and his staff were really helpful today! Took a screw out of my tire and patched the hole for a great price! It is clear Express Tire cares about their customers. Will be returning! Thanks for a great experience!”
“Great local mechanic shop. Luis and Ray are very professional and fair on the price. They do a good job explaining the problem with the vehicle and how they are going to fix it.
I would definitely recommend this shop.”
“Very friendly, not pushy at all. Don't know much about cars or the prices of things, but called my dad after leaving and told him what I had got-he said it was a good deal. Anyways it's not a walmart.. If I get a flat when I'm across country I won't get it fixed for free, but all in all I got a great deal, good conversation with owner, and I would rather support local businesses, they're a dying bread here in California!”
“I had such a great experience here. I needed help putting my spare tire under my car and Luis did it right away and for free. He was SO friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back here when I have problems with my car. Great service...
a big recommend from me!!”
“The customer service here was unbelievable. Luis, went above and beyond to help us out. Not the typical shady or pushy service you usually get when you go to a mechanic. He was genuine and upfront when we had questions about prices. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Straight Shooter. Laid back and no BS. I like working with people that know their trade and don't rip folks off. These guys work with integrity and I appreciated it.”
“Have never had a mechanic worry so much about making my day better after a not so well start then Louie and his staff at Express tires. Being a woman mechanics take advantage but Louie is not that kind of place. I recommend express tires they have great prices and and even better service. Thank you guys at Express tires after a bad start to my Monday 2/16/2015 you guys made my day with getting me out the door and off work.”
“Great service! Louie offered to go pick up a used tire to replace our tire that was beyond repair. Gave us a very reasonable price for an excellent used tire. Will definitely be a returning customer.”
“Words cannot express of how great of service it is here. This is the place to take your car! Luis, the owner, and his whole team, really take care of your car. They do their jobs well, and most importantly, they do it with integrity. If your car is having problems, or you need a check-up, bring it here!”
“I got a flat tire on the freeway and, from the looks of the metal shard jammed deep into my tire, pretty much assumed I'd have to buy a new tire. I drove here, Luis took a look at it, and he said it could be patched without a problem. He patched it for cheap instead of trying to sell me a $150 tire. However, he did take me outside to show me that my tires were going to go bald soon and that I'd need to replace them all in a couple months. I really appreciated his sincerity and that he didn't try to get me to buy something unnecessarily! I've been driving my car long distances for about a month since, and the patched tire works like a charm.
While I waited for Luis's employee to do the patching job, we talked, and he gave me some tips for learning Italian because he's learning it too! He's a great guy, and I never expected my flat tire experience to end so well. I'll definitely be back if my car needs anything while I'm living in that area!”
“Luis is the real deal; not your stereotypical mechanic but a certified Master Automobile Technician. He's in it for the long run and will give you options on all of your repairs. It's a family run business and his attitude and his staff show it; genuine, fun to deal with, honest and he backs his work. If he can't do it he will refer you to a colleague who he personally recommends. I found him in the yelp review 3 years ago and I have not looked elsewhere since. Give him a try, you will not be disappointed with his pricing, approach and his work.”
“I got a nail puncture on my rear right tire. I searched on yelp to find a high rating tire service shop close by then found this place. I can tell you EVERY good review about this place is true. The owner Luis is a very nice and knowledgeable master technician. They charged me a very reasonable price for fixing my tire and also did checking and balancing for free. I will definitely come back here to do future oil change and other maintenance stuff.”
“the owner is very friendly.
service was fast. i was able to come in same day i called. and their oil changes are very affordable. will definitely come back if I'm in the area and need any service:”
“I recently moved to Azusa and was in need for an oil change. Luckily, I found this place on yelp and now I go there for about every service I need for my car. The owner, Luis is super friendly and provides excellent service at a very affordable price. I highly recommend this place for the best all around service in town.”
“If you need work done on your car, this is 1000% the place to go! Luis, the owner, is the friendliest and most honest mechanic I've ever met! He and his team are just wonderful.
I've come here three times now and service has been exceptional every time. This last time I came in, I needed to get my bearings replaced so I brought all my homework in knowing I'd be there for a while. While I waited Luis bought me lunch and I ate with the team on their break! Such a sweet gesture. Other times while I've waited I've been bought horchata and tacos. They treat you like family, most just as a customer.”
“Luis is the man to see in Azusa. Pricing is the best in town along with fast service. Fixed my car and on the road I went. For repairs and tires there is only one place in AZUSA.”
“Louie seems like a genuinely good guy. Patched up my flat and rotated my tires in no time. Had a nice chat and I was back on the road. Would highly recommend.”
“Came in to fix a flat tire which had a nail in it. My spare also seemed to be low on air so Luis kindly had my spare checked along with fixing the flat. The service is kind and friendly. I observed the service with other customers and these guys at Express Tire Auto Service really know their stuff. Would definitely recommend :)”
“My husband had a problem with a blown truck (big rig) tire. Luis was not able to help with the replacement tire. However, he spent time helping him find other arrangements close by knowing that he wouldn't be making a penny off of it. Excellent customer service!!!”
“I just took my Honda in today and the entire Crew was Honest Nice and Fun.. This place is very personal unlike other repair shops.. There wasn't pressure to make a purchase it was left totally up to me.. I must say I will be returning but this time I think I'm going to do a drop off and walk home.. If your looking good old fashioned RELIABLE service then please bring your car to Louie you will not be disappointed...”
“I came in to replace my car battery. Luis, the owner, provided top notch professional service, best price, and a pleasure to talk to. I am very impress and I highly recommend his establishment.”
“I called here based on the reviews and my expectations were met and exceeded! Louie is friendly, professional, and knowledgable. I've found my new mechanic!”
“Thanks Luis for being such a great and helpful mechanic. You are honest, knowledgeable and always trying to do the job the best way for my pocketbook. My son and I have had you do a lot of work and are always pleased with your service and professionalism. I had the same mechanic for 30 years until he passed away. It was scary to try and find another but you have filled the need. Jerry L.”
“Luis is awesome!!! Taking a road trip to Zion National Park next week, and made sure everything was straight with my hooptie... He was very informative and didn't even attempt to break my wallet. I went to another mechanic earlier in the week and his quote was over $2400... Luis did everything for less than $500... Air cond new tires alignment valve replacement ... Im very impressed with their customer service... Definitely recommending to all family and friends”
“Had a great experience at this auto shop. True character of the employees. I had a nail stuck in my tire and they fixed it and put on a patch with ease. Very kind and willing to work for your happiness. I will be returning to this shop for all my auto complications and questions.”
“Louie is seriously one of the most caring and professional mechanics I've ever worked with/known about! Even on the phone he was very friendly and helpful. He is definitely a genuine guy who really cares about his customers AND his family haha. If you get in a conversation with him about other topics besides your car (which is definitely bound to happen), you will know what I am talking about. :) You can tell that this guy really just wants to do the best he can to help people out which is great. He was very informative & timely as well when it came to service (I had a complete dead battery and messed up alternator). Very satisfied with the quality and service! Highly recommend!”
“Luis really values his customers! He conducts his business completely with the customer in mind - it seems like to him, he's not just running his business for a job but he's there because he genuinely wants to help people. Not to mention he's incredibly friendly and cheerful and is therefore a joy to interact with. I'd highly recommend this shop.”
“I came here to get my tire patched, and couldn't be happier. Luis was honest, fast and efficient. I will definitely come back (hopefully I won't have to) if anything else happens to my car.”
“I can't say enough how satisfied I was getting my tires changed here. This place was the cheapest and the service was outstanding. Luis is so friendly and so caring. He kept me company while I waited and I have to say that for the couple hours talking to him, it's so good to see that there are still good people out there. He has such a good heart and great passion for what he does. I am definitely coming back for all my future car needs. Check this place out. You won't regret it. In fact, you'll find yourself a returning customer and you'll have made a new friend :)”
“I had a rough day finding out a nail was stuck to my right rear tire. The tire pressure was slowly but surely lessening throughout the day. After stopping by two gas stations to get some air (and met with two very rude owners) I found this place on Yelp! Luis the owner and the people who work for him were very sweet and kind. They met me with the biggest smile and patched up my tire in 10 minutes! Thank you so much for your kindness and your quick quality service. I'm so grateful to know that I can trust your place with tire problems to oil changes!
I am so blessed by your kindness and your honest service.
You guys rock! :)”
“Getting ready to head out on a road trip home from APU we knew we had to get a quick oil change. I looked up the nearest Jiffy Lube and noticed that they had terrible reviews. Second on the list was Louie's shop with 5 stars. I called and was told that Louie would call me back about an appointment time. About an hour later he returned my call and told us to come by around 3. As soon as we got there he popped around the corner and told us he would be right with us. Two hours later we were still chatting with him about his kids, the dog he wants, and Jesus. This man is an absolute joy. He radiates happiness and he makes sure he is taking great care of you. I couldn't have been more pleased with our experience here. I wish I lived in the area. If you want amazing service, good conversation, and to leave feeling like you made a friend, this is the place to go. Thank you Louie for being a genuinely amazing man! We appreciate your kindness!”
“This place is really great!!! Louis was very nice and friendly. He changed my car's headlights for a really good price. He almost did it pro bono. He even offered to put my hubcaps for me. You'll never go wrong going here. Such nice service from the nicest people”
“Owner Louie was super talkative and friendly. Best thing was that he doesn't mind inviting you into his shop and showing you first hand what is going on with your car. His explanations are straight and simple. Would definitely recommend.”
“I needed to patch my tire up and so I found this place on Yelp and I am very glad I did. Luis is very helpful and honest, and was very friendly while I was waiting for my car. When I have an issue with my car, I'll be going here from now on.”
“These guys are fantastic. I was on my way to them for an oil change and was in an accident on they way. Leaving the same day on a 2,000 mile trip, they made sure my car was safe after working me in right away! I would recommend them to anyone that asks.”
“First time here and definitely not the last time coming here. I came in because my car was in dire need of new tires and to replace my rotors and brake pads. I had changed my front brake pads myself, but problems still occurred, so I figured I would let the professionals work on my car instead.
They open at 8:30 AM on Saturdays and when I got there about 8:35 AM and there were already two or three cars in front of me --- seems like a popular place to bring your car for sure. I walked in and Luis was at the front desk ready to help. We talked about my car and then chatted a bit more about places to eat --- Luis is a very personable guy, very easy to talk to.
On Saturdays they close at 2PM but they worked on my car well after hours. No more brake noises and with the new tires, the drive feels smooth once again.
Luis kept me updated with phone calls, gave me information what needed to be done. He gave me the exact amount of the cost of parts and labor. When I came in to pick up my car, the tires he quoted me for were not available, so he upgraded them with no additional charge! He said he's a man of his word and he definitely is.
Side note: When he called to say my car was ready, my girlfriend was already at work, since I live nearby I decided to longboard over, after he heard about this he said had he known I didn't have transportation he would've picked me up! Outstanding service! Who does that???
Prices are affordable for the kind of work that was needed for my car. I'm very pleased with this establishment and Luis and his crew are fantastic. I really appreciate them working on my car after hours and I will definitely return for more care-related services and for more tips on where to eat around the area.
Thanks Express Tire and Auto Service!”
“Wow, wow, wow. I can't rave enough about this auto repair shop. I brought in my Mazda MX-5 because I thought I may have picked up a nail on the road. Turns out that I had nails/screws in all four tires! I was shocked. Couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. I decided on getting two of the tires replaced with brand new ones and the other two patched... then all of the tires balanced. Luis is incredibly knowledgable about pretty much everything relating to vehicles and didn't try to pressure be into buying things I didn't need for my car, like so many other shops. If you want an honest, friendly, and knowledgable shop in the Los Angeles county, look no further. I ended up sticking around for the repairs and found myself chatting with both of the employees there as well as other patrons the entire time. They answered my many questions (regardless of how inexperienced they may have been) without making me feel stupid. My brother suggested this shop to me after he had a great experience and I definitely agree with him. I will definitely be becoming back for any of my future repairs, brakes are next!”
“after dealing with a couple of other shops where they tried finding ways to make money off of me, and dealing with atitudes. i came across express tire and auto service. the moment i made that phone call to check for pricing i was treated with courtesy, and when i arrived it was nothing but friendly respectful service. it was a breath of fresh air doing business straight up with no strings attached. i would and will recommend this place to anyone in need of work on their car.”
“Express tire and Auto Service is definitely the place to go!
Luis and Rosario were in the waiting room when I came in and made me feel right at home. After telling them about my car problem, we started talking about life and I got to know them and their family very well and felt very welcomed. The fix took only a few minutes and I was in and out within 20 minutes, but left feeling a part of the family. Great Christian couple that is giving a good and honest name to the auto repair industry. They have the highest quality work, for the lowest price! Trust these two with your car needs, they will not disappoint! Will definitely be coming back here as long as I live in the area!”
“Found Louie from Craigslist and what a find it is! If you want to find a great mechanic who is honest and know what he is doing then look no further folks!
I had my share of dealing with crooked mechanics and I was very lucky to have found Louie and his lovely wife, Rosario. Not only does he explains the problems in detail but he takes his time to make sure you understand what the problem is and how it began and how it's going to be fixed. A mechanic that cares, who ever heard of that??? Well, people meet Louie and Rosario! You will not be disappointed!
I have nothing but praises for this husband and wife team who cares about their customers. They treat you like family unlike other auto shops. Best of all, his prices are extremely fair and can save you some $$$ if you go to other auto shops!
I am just so glad I live like 2 minutes from their shop and found a reliable, honest, friendly, and fair price mechanic that I will only give my business to from now on! I will not be going to any other mechanic!
Seriously folks, do yourself a favor if you need your car fix, you have to meet Louie and Rosario, you'll thank me for recommending you to them!”
“I was searching for a place to get my power steering pump replaced and I found Luis through another site but after googling their phone number I found their Yelp page. I have been getting more active on Yelp nowadays, I just like reading other people's review before taking my chances with any new businesses and I would not hesitate give my honest opinion.
I can honestly say that Luis is a great guy and I like his work style. He inspected the vehicle to ensure that the problem really is the power steering pump. He then proceeded to explain a few things to me before he started with the repair. I wish there are more mechanics like him.
I like family-owned and operated businesses, they tend to value customer service more and you always get the attention you deserved there. Luis is ASE Certified and he certainly seems to be more knowledgeable than other ASE certified mechanics that I took my car to before. Plus, Express Tires is part of the Tech-Net professional auto service so most of the repair comes with a worry free warranty which is wonderful if you are travelling long distance from home and need assistance with your car. This reminds me of the extra warranty dealers always offer when you purchase one of their vehicles but this comes free with your repair service here at Express Tires.
Luis did pointed out a few more maintenance services that I need to get done but he wasn't pushy about it which also impressed me. It feels like this is your neighborhood mechanic guy that you can trust to get an honest opinion on your car problem rather than a greedy business that is out to empty your pocket (only big dealers are allowed to be greedy because at least you will get the worry-free satisfaction guarantee) If you are not a big dealer and try to charge me the same price, you are off my visit list :)
I have tried a few mechanics since I moved to L.A last year but they all disappointed me one way or another. The biggest thing I disliked about them is they didn't explain the problems to me, they just told me what the problems were and gave me a ridiculous price for it. Perhaps, since I'm a woman and they probably thought there is no way I could understand those complicated mechanic terms anyway so why bother :D
But guess what, surprised! this is the information age, you can get any answer online and I always do my research well so I do have some car knowledge.
It did took a little long to get the repair finished but I didn't mind as long as the problem is fixed the right way. I'm not a perfectionist myself but I love them, especially when my mechanic is one! Don't forget to call beforehand to make an appointment. If you have a friend to pick you up, that is great but if you have lazy friends that sleep all Saturday like mine (lol) then there are plenty of places within walking distance from the shop,plus you can get a good work-out for free.
In conclusion, I definitely recommend Express Tires to anyone that are in search for a long-term friendly and reliable mechanic for all your car problems. Everybody at Express Tires are great and Luis will get your problems fixed the right way.”
“My car acted up the day before a 400 mile trip! I took a chance at this place and was not disappointed.
They stayed late just to fix the problem for me, and in the end charged me $50 less than the estimate!
As long as they keep up the kindness, honesty, and quality I'll keep coming back.
My car made the trip with no problems, btw.”
“I live in los angeles.
I am also cheap.
I ended up at Luis' shop in Azusa because I needed new tires for my truck and he had an ad on craigslist with some used rims with decent tires that looked good. I drove all the way out there and turns the rims were not the right ones for my truck (my mistake).
Instead of letting me walk out the door, Luis was very friendly and starting talking to me about other options in a non-salesman way. Bottom line I ended up walking out of there with new shocks all around and a good deal on some used but in great shape tires that were the exact fit for my truck.
A very friendly family run business. Luis and his wife both man the desk and are great. They referred my to the little mexican joint around the corner from them, see my other yelp review for that. It's called Taqueria Y Quesadillas.
Also important to note is that Luis doesn't just do tires, he seems to be a very competent mechanic. After getting to talking to him he show me some of his recent projects including fitting a camaro engine in a 1990 mazda RX7. He even showed me photos and videos of the project from start to finish on his Facebook page. That car looked like a crazy fun beast. So I figure if managed that, he will probably also be able to do a pretty decent job changing your brakes or fixing your air conditioner, etc.
Just wish they were closer to me. If you live anywhere near azusa and need a good honest mechanic I would def pay Luis a visit.

“Moving away from LA, I had to find myself a new reliable and trustworthy mechanic. I was lucky enough to find Express Tire and Auto Service through Yelp classify, Ben and Luis were very helpful and knowledgeable about their craft. I couldn't believe that this place didn't have any reviews or ratings.
I found out that Luis been a mechanic for 40 years. He diagnose my last oil change and found out that the mechanic didn't screw tightly my oil screw at the bottom. This could have messed up my whole engine. I hate when people don't do their job right especially when it's regarding the safety of other people. Ben and Luis made sure that everything was okay and what needed to be worked and not. Thank God, that there are honest people these days. They didn't try to up sell me any services or parts AND gave me a great price on the job they did.
If you ever need a mechanic or tires, this place is the spot for all your auto care needs. They were so friendly that they even told me that I can call them anytime if I ever have any questions regarding my car. God bless them.”
“My low tire pressure light came on so I stopped by. Turned out I had a bolt on my tire. They patched it up good as new. Thank goodness I came by before driving home to San Diego. Would definitely come again”
