Default Looking for good tire shop in socal

Any recommendations. I'm looking for a shop that does quality work and works everyday with high end custom wheels. A place that has precision in mind when doing work. A place that won't take the powder coating off my wheels or pound a clip on weight to the outside rim. Thanks..

I use discount tire. I've had no probelms, they've done good work at great prices. Hell they fix my flats for free.

I agree, it's hard to beat Discount tire here in SD.

I'd have to say America's tire Co in Pasadena. Manager name is Dub. They know there stuff and help sponsor my race car as well. Tell him that Fais w/ the ITR reffered you. Will throw you steep discount, this goes for any Hondaclub guys too. If you mention hondaclub to the manager he will get you the better pricing.

I got my tires mounted at Just Tires...WAY cheaper than discount tires. THe discount tires I went to looked all shady and the manager just acted too "friendly" and tried to scam me.

I recommend Just Tires.

I'm not sure how far you want to travel but I highly recommend a shop in the valley called "Tires Buy Mark". The prices quoted for tires include mounting and balancing and their prices are excellent. I've been using this shop since I was 16 (I'm 35 now) and never had a bad experience. I've already referred one board member to this shop and now he won't go anywhere else.

just like fais said above America's Tire Co is a great place.
They have a location in Irvine, but might have something closer to HB. Look for store locations at www.tires.com

West End Alignment in Gardena did a great job last time I was there. It's a one-man shop and he knows what he's doing. He swapped my tires (left <--> right) and balanced with those nice stick-on weights. No scratches.
