This company does something that is rare. It provides services for customers who may not have even bought products from their company. Free flat repair. Free tire and pressure gauge inspections, and other services that most competitors charge for. This company really saved me when I got a nail in my tire and just couldn’t get to the dealership to get it repaired. They also did the repair in a way that really represented going the extra mile for it’s customers. Thanks and I’ll be back when I need new tires!

Nothing but five stars for this company. We talk about courteous, they are , professional, and knowledgeable. Came in for a simple flat repair, but it was so big. They weren’t sure they could do it, but they did give it there anll and they are able to fix it. I made an appointment to come and see them at 11 AM. Came in on the early but they said come on and we can still do it now. Took about an hour and they fixed the tire completely and I even tried to tip them and they wouldn’t accept it. But I do highly recommend this company for all your car needs.

Took my rental there because there was a screw in one of the tires. They fixed it for free! Nice people, great service and no charge, you can’t do better. I’m moving to the area and this will be my tire shop!! Thank you, Big Brand!

Arika, Angela and the staff at this location are absolutely fantastic. They strive to get you in and out quickly—which is no small feat considering how busy they are. They’ve replaced brakes and done oil changes on both my Subarus and have always done a fantastic job. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Great service and price

I LOVE this place! Arika went above and beyond to help me get into a new set of tires I could afford. I was not planning on getting a new set but for safety reasons, I felt it was best long term to purchase them now rather than do a quick fix. The tires already feel safer/grip the road very well and I know will be great in winter weather. The shop dog "Clyde" comes to welcome others and also loves to play fetch. I have interacted with this shop since I moved to Tahoe in 2024 and highly recommend them for great service, quality work and genuine fun/funny interactions. Good humans work here!
