Needed all new tires on my bmw after an Oakland pothole blew out 2 year old tires. This is a family run business with decades of racing experience. Brandon knew his stuff inside out and treated me and my car like they were his. It's by appointment, super easy and available. Love my new tires, Brandon's recommendation that he uses on his M car. Reasonable price too. Liam is awesome too, and enjoyed chatting with Roger. Sorry if this sounds like a love-fest post but it's just so refreshing not to deal with a corporate run business and talk to real experienced people.

I cannot say enough good things about Roger Krause racing. They have great prices and I don't go anywhere else for tires. Years ago I used to go to Tire Rack, but haven’t for years. They go a great job, mounting and balancing tires. I’ve never had anything out of balance and they’ve never damaged any of my wheels. I think they have started doing alignments again so if you need a track or autocross alignment they do great work.

If you're serious about your car, and you want a shop you can trust 100%--not only for the expertise and quality of their work, but for integrity and commitment to a great customer experience--this is the place to go! They're the go-to shop for all the serious enthusiasts and collectors, vintage and modern, and I would trust them with any car. I took one of my Porsches there to install new wheels and tires, and it was so great to work with Roger, Brandon, and Raleigh. They're absolute professionals who clearly take pride in their business, and their work. I happened to need wheels/tires installed on one of their very busiest weeks (after a wheel I'd been waiting for from another source finally came in), and they still accommodated me, graciously. I will definitely be bringing my other cars to Kraus for all of my future wheel/tire/suspension needs.

I can't say enough good things about Roger Kraus Racing. I've been going here for over twelve years and they never disappoint. They're the best place to buy and install any sort of performance tires. I found them years ago when I used to buy from Tire Rack, but I don't buy tires from Tire Tack any more. Roger Kraus Racing has always been able to meet or beat them and have access to more choices than Tire Rack. They do the best job installing and balancing tires and I'd rather give the business to someone local. They've never damaged a wheel and do an awesome job balancing wheels. The one time I had to go back to them for a wheel being out of balance years ago, it ended up being I had gotten a bad tire. They worked with me to help me get a replacement and once we had the new tire I never had a problem again. Brandon also does a great job with alignments, though I don't think they're doing any right now. Go here for any high performance or racing tires you need. You won't be disappointed!

I thought a slow leak on my left rear tire. I have had my cars alignment done by this shop and they were precise in their calibration and stand by their work. With that in mind, I brought my car for a tire repair. Upon taking the tire off the rims, they saw the tire had a nail created further damage when driving on a near flat tire, namely damage to the side walls. They quickly ordered a replacement tire with an expectation that it was in their supplier's warehouse and can be delivered later in the day. They needed to move my car out of their service so they mounted my tire to send me house. The supplier's inventory information was not current and thereby couldn't deliver a new tire. So they ordered another tire from another supplier so be delivered the following day. The next day came, the tire was delivered shortly before 12 noon and the team is out on lunch. My timing is becoming urgent as I had an appointment in a few hours. They told me to come in at 1 pm. On arrival, the shop was receiving a shipment of 200 motorcycle tires that required all of the team and service bay. Time was clicking, the owner offered to lend his car which I politely declined holding hope that everything will be completed with sufficient time to travel to my appointment. When the work was completed, the invoice needed to be printed and credit card charged, the printer malfunctioned. I asked for card to charged and the owner offered to mail the invoice to me. Everyone was apologetic for the delay. There is a happy ending. I made it to my appointment with a few minutes to spare. I truly be.I Eve this shop has always done right by me. I highly recommend this shop for their service and accommodations.

I had some front struts and tie rods replaced at a European Speciality shop on my Porsche 911. The head mechanic said they do not perform alignments but recommended Roger Kraus Racing in Castro Valley. I had talked to Brandon (one of the owners) on the phone and he quoted me a ball-park price on the phone. Fair enough. I brought the car and Brandon asked what I was looking to gain and he gave me some recommendations what was normal height and Euro height for my car. Brandon knows these types of cars and he races different Porsches so he knows what to expect. One of the things I like about Brandon and is that he explains what services he is doing to my car. Another thing is he drove the car for a test spin to get an overall feel to see how the car drives and steers. Important because his goal is to improve the drivability of the car. Brandon dialed in the Camber, Caster and Toe on the Front, Camber and Toe on the Rear. He dialed in better than the spec. Brandon has excellent knowledge of these cars, this is truly impressive. Roger Kraus Racing handles different sport cars for alignment. They also sell tires and specialty tires. Overall excellent service. There is no substitute for being well experienced. So Brandon truly deserves the 5 stars.

Among Bay Area shops, this is one of the greats and really appreciate the outstanding service each time. Brandon has dialed in my Porsche alignment and corner balancing, and is one of a few in the Bay that will set kinematic rear toe for 993s as well.

I called Roger Krause Racing this morning and Roger answered the phone. I explained I had a '71 Porsche and I needed a wheel balance as I had a slight vibration. He told me to bring it in and they would take care of it.I went in and met Erik and he was absolutely perfect with my car. He had another guy working with him, but I did not catch his name- sorry. The two of them worked together and it turned out all of my wheels were out of balance for a total out of balance weight of 3.75 ounces. The car rides like it is on glass now. I am totally satisfied and will be back to Roger Krause Racing for any future wheel/tire needs on any of my cars. These guys "get" car-people.Thanks guys for a great job. Michael H.Alamo
