It is just a small shop with 2 guys working there so you need to get an appt weeks in advance but it is more than worth it. There is a reason there is a 2 week wait. They know what they are doing. If I remember is cost me ~$120. Don't get pissed if they don't pick up the phone as they are generally both working and aren't always in a position to pick up the phone if they are both in the middle of something. No front desk to handle the phone.

I think they just need more staff!

Lowered car friendly as well. Hit up Harry, he's the owner of the shop.

I think I paid around 90$?
That's a pretty sweet deal!

Your best would to be to call 714 Tires and ask for David - (714) 881-7118. Pretty safe to assume they could take you same day - but I would just call and ask so that you're expedited in and then out.

TC Auto Repair in Temple City. Pretty good job when they found out my toe caster was like -2 degrees off. Aligned it and has been good ever since.
