Customer's reviews

Like you, I'm sure you've had your share of ups and downs with different car and tire service around the bay area. There's a certain chain that I won't mention that really burned me the last time I was there and was really fed up with what I was getting for what I was paying for. Cut to: DON'S TIRES in Berkeley! Holy smokes! What have I been missing?? Great customer service? CHECK. Nice people all around? YES. Better deals and full on explanation from folks who know what they're doing?? HELL YES! I've recommended Don's to at least one other person who got back to me after their experience and was equally thrilled. I can't recommend them any higher. Support local businesses (my mistake for not doing it sooner) and support Don's in Berkeley! ~ jim g
My experience with Don’s was extremely positive. About 6 months ago I came into the shop after being told by my car service shop that at least 2 of my tires needed to be replaced and I should just go ahead and get the other 2 while I was at it. When I brought the car into Don’s I was fully prepared to pay for all new tires. Instead Don’s said - “No you had a nail in one and you will probably have to get a new tire after the summer is over but if you don’t drive a lot you dont have to replace the two other tires.” That kind of honest service is so uncommon and refreshing. Today I brought my car into replace the tires before a long drive and I had my wife pickup the car. No muss no fuss at very reasonable prices delivered warmly. Highly recommend Dons tires. It’s the kind of business we should all support. ~ Juan T
I have a vintage 1990 Westfalia Vanagon camper van and I‘ve been coming here since it was recommended by Buslab for any kind of tire work on classic cars. Service at the front and back of the house is always awesome. The ladies in the front are so friendly. I was amazed that they were able to special order me some 215/65/r16 Nokian Rotiiva AT XL tires so quickly and cheaper than prices I found online. I was expecting a backorder as it’s a pretty specific all-terrain tire that isn’t so commonly requested but they were able to get them for a NEXT DAY install without my even requesting such a quick timeframe. They are fast! The alignment was top notch too. Couldn’t ask for more. ~ Mark L
