I encountered a formidable challenge on my pristine Tesla: a menacing nail. Costco couldn't mend it, but they directed me to a hidden gem. This establishment takes precision to an entirely new level, treating tire wounds from within, eschewing the ordinary plugs. It was an investment well worth every cent, and despite my usual reluctance to tip technicians, I found myself giving them 20%. This haven is now my undisputed sanctuary for all things automotive. Lightning-fast service, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and unparalleled expertise are their hallmarks. There's no haggling or negative vibes here I wholeheartedly endorse them.

Honest and fast. I needed to repair my run flat tire and was turned down by multiple shops. They all said I needed to replace all four tires ($1800!). Larkins Brothers helped me out in a pinch and saved me a ton of money! They fixed the tire quickly and I was on my way. Tire is still perfectly fine 2000+ miles later.

These guys are THEE BEST! Fast, efficient and with great customer service. I blew out a tire on my Volvo, called them in the am and by mid-afternoon they had sourced it, called me to come in for a fix and had me out the door with 45 min! $150+ less than what the dealer charged me last time the streets of San Francisco ripped my Pirelli s up. Big thanks to Jason! Old-school customer service! Hard to find these days.

I won't be going here again! Larkin Brothers changed and balanced a set of tires for me. It was a bit expensive, but I wanted to go to a reputable shop. I asked them to check wear on the front brakes and the guy, who appeared to be the manager, said it was a good thing they checked as I had only 10% left. He estimated the repair would cost $550.Rather than have Larkin Brothers do the repair, I made an appointment with my regular mechanic and took the car in a few days later. My mechanic said there was still 70% left on the front brakes and there was no need to have them replaced.I don't know if Larkin Brothers would have ended up replacing the brakes if I had gotten them to do the work, but I don't trust them after this error.

I am in my sixties so have several decades of experience owning and maintaining cars in different states in the US. The service I got from Larkins was probably the most blatantly misleading that I have ever received. They basically put me in a position where I had no choice but to pay $150 for replacing a tire when all I had was a flat that could easily have been repaired.I went to them for a slow leak in one tire. After making me wait 90 minutes, they told me that they do not repair tires that are over 6 years old. I have never ever heard that rule in all my years of owning cars so it is probably something that they have invented on their own to gouge customers. Well, by the time they told me that, they had the tire off the car and had taken the nail out so the tire was unusable without being repaired which they refused to do. So, I had no choice but to buy a new tire - could not even drive it anyplace else to get pricing.If they were actually interested in safety and not making money, they would have told me right up front that they do not repair tires over 6 years old. I would then just have gone someplace else.Very devious dealings - never going back to them again.

Great service and reasonably priced. I came here really frustrated by getting a nail on my brand new tires. I walked in and they greeted me with a smile, which completely changed my mood. They were quick, charged me a reasonable amount, and gave me the confidence that the car was in good hands. They quoted my half an hour but took only 20 minutes. Would definitely come again. Shout out to Daniel for his kindness and friendliness.

Larkins Bros Tire & Auto is such an honest establishment, I brought my car here after experiencing shakiness when being driven, I called this place and they just let me bring the car in right away to check, was quoted $35/tire for balancing service, turned out they found a damage on one of the tire, I decided to replace it with the spare tire, was charged $25. They also treat their customer with respect.

Known this place for over 20 years. Good and fast service. Once you get your appointment set, you pretty much get your car back in their estimated time frame.Free tiers rotation if you bought a set of tiers here.I get both my vehicles basic maintenance here, save time and money.

$35 to seal up a tire leak that was the result of the incompetent serramonte honda dealership.Larkin brother took care of it in a timely manner with a wallet friendly price. Highly recommend and I will definitely go back there to get my car and tires looked at

These people are very friendly and fast! They patched my tire within 45 mins, just before they close. That saved my day! Price is very reasonable. The technician even explained to me about the damage. I d definitely come back again when I have a flat.

I ve been moving around a lot the last 2 years and I greatly rely on google reviews in new cities. I came here for the excellent reviews and they are well-deserved. Good, straightforward, friendly service. And in my case they were super fast.I bought 4 new tires and also some chains for driving in the sierras and so far from my short drive home, I am super happy with everything.Appreciate your excellent service and friendliness.

Larkin Bro's Tire and vehicle maintenance is great. Jason always helps me out and has a friendly staff that's quick and good at their work. I've been there 5 times for various repairs and new tires. All in 2020 so far. Thanks for the quick turnaround and taking care of my car unlike some other global tire chains

Knowledge folks. Found my hard to find tire the same day. My home health company chose Larkin to service our fleet. I can see why.

Feb 2020 Update: I have upgraded this review from 1 to 3 stars based on my interactions with Jason and the ultimate outcome of this situation.Summary:In the process of affixing new tires to my car, the Larkins Bros. technician caused cosmetic damage to the rims. I noticed and reported the damage immediately to Jason, the son of the owner of Larkins Bros.Jason took the time to inspect the damage with me, admitted it was the shop's fault, and offered to have the rims repainted.Since the rims were in like-new condition, I felt that what was fair was to have the rims replaced rather than repainted.It took several months and many appointments/phone calls with insurance, the BAR, body shops, and Jason, but in the end we came to an agreement, and I wound up being compensated enough so that I could purchase new rims at a discounted price.Although I am disappointed to have the damage happen in the first place, I appreciate Jason's professionalism and willingness to work with me to resolve the situation.

New in town and found a nail in my back tire. I brought my car in and they kindly looked at it and deemed that the nail did not puncture the tire so I was good to go. I highly appreciated their honesty and integrity.

I had a great first visit to Larkins Brothers, getting 4 new tires in just 45 minutes. Unfortunately, the post atmospheric river road conditions lately meant I needed a reliable tire repair shop, and Larkins Brothers exceeded my expectations. With their smooth operation, I was able to drive right in and get on the car hoist without needing an appointment. The waiting room was quiet with free wifi and a clean bathroom, making the whole experience swift and enjoyable. I highly recommend Larkins Brothers to anyone in need of tire repair, as they'll have you back on the road dodging even more potholes in no time!

Willing to chalk it up to human error but I went there and was told I needed three new tire pressure sensors went to my regular mechanic who used the device to measure the batteries show me the readout there was no problem. Time will tell who's right
