Sami is so personable and friendly. A few weeks ago I had a nail in my tire and they took care of it immediately while I waited. Sami advised me of all the other services they provided so today I took my car for an oil change. It is so convenient I can walk to and from the store. It was good value compared to a dealership service department too.There is nothing better than supporting our local small businesses. I highly recommend Encino Tire and Service.

I love Encino Tire and Service. A couple of weeks ago, my wife's car's tire was screwed up. I took it in to Encino Tire mainly because of the great reviews here on Yelp. Sami, the owner, helped me out, showed me the problem and installed two new rear tires, but no hard sell. He explained the issues and left it up to me. He ordered the tires and said they'd be in the next morning. They were. I went down, he said it would take about an hour to do the work. It did. Great experience. So....when I needed new tires for my BMW X3, it only made sense to go back. Again, Sami helped me out. He explained my various tire choices and made some recommendations. Again, no upsell, no hard sell, just the information I needed to make my own informed decision. He ordered them and said he'd call me when they were in. He did. I came down to the shop. Again, he told me it would take an hour. I'm sure by this point you can figure out that it took an hour. His prices are great, which is good, but more importantly, his attention to customer happiness is amazing. I'll be back. By the way, he also does other car service and I think next time my car needs an oil change, I'll head over to Sami's place.

I recently had a frustrating experience with my vehicle's tires that left me feeling helpless and at my wit's end. My dealership failed to identify the problem despite multiple visits, which was incredibly frustrating. However, my experience took a 180-degree turn for the better when I found the remarkable tire repair shop that deserves all the praise in the world.From the moment I entered the shop, I was greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable staff that immediately put me at ease. They took the time to listen to my concerns and the issues I'd been facing with my car's tires and rims. Unlike my dealership, where I felt like just another number, this shop genuinely cared about solving my problem.They performed a thorough inspection, and it didn't take them long to identify the issues with my cracked rims and the busted tire that had gone unnoticed by the dealer. Their expertise was evident, and it was a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis of the problems plaguing my vehicle.What impressed me most was their commitment to delivering quality service. They not only repaired the damaged rims and replaced the tire promptly but also took the time to educate me about proper tire maintenance and offered valuable advice on how to prevent future issues. This level of customer service was beyond my expectations. Price was clear and transparent, I HIGHLY recommend them, thank you for your help!

I had a flat tire and after AAA filled it up, it was flat again the next day so I knew I needed a repair or a new tire. Hoping for the former.I looked here on Yelp and Sami at Encino Tire had stellar reviews so I called and if asked if he could take me late in the day. He was very friendly and said he could - so I had AAA come again, fill the tire and I drove straight over to Encino Tire.Sami quickly patched my tire and it cost practically nothing. I will be coming to Encino Tire for all my tire needs from now on.Thank you, Sami!

TL;DR: skip this shop. not worth the headache.I don't leave negative feedbacks unless the service is worse than bad. I took my car to this shop for 4 times to change the brakes, and each time it started squeaking after a couple of days because they used second-handed/fake/after-market brake pads. And they didn't stop doing it and I had to take my car to another mechanic shop.We have only one car and we are super busy, and they knew it! We went to their office and worked from their office while they were working on our car and they saw it! But still, after 3 times they again used a cheap/second-handed brake pads.The last time they "fixed it" they said this was happening because we drive badly and they wouldn't "change it" anymore! Well, the next shop (in the same area) fixed it and it's been working fine since then (more than a month). My guess was right. They used low-quality (probably second-handed) brake pads, confirmed by a professional mechanic.He charged me 450$ for wasting my time. Take your car somewhere that at least doesn't try to cheat after the first time they were exposed.

They overcharge, cheat and use fake materials. Don't take your car to this shop.

Sammy was very professional and friendly. He took me quickly, was upfront about what to expect in terms of the procedure and the time, and incredibly generous with pricing. I now have a new place to get checkups and anything else taken care of.

The best mechanic in LA! Sami is honest, friendly, helpful, and fast. The Ford dealer wanted to charge me almost $700 for a tire and alignment on my Mustang Mach E and keep the car for a full day. Sami got me the factory tire and did the alignment (which he actually checked before deciding I needed it) for under $400. Work was done in less than 2 hours. I brought my RDX in for service a few months ago and the experience was just as good. A good mechanic is hard to find. Sami is the man!

Great service. Hardly ever a wait time. Very honest and price is always fair. I like to compare prices from different shops and this place always beats any price. The best part is they never try to upswell you. I definitely recommend.

Sammi is amazing and extremely trustworthy! I went in having no clue what was wrong with my car despite going to another mechanic. Thankfully, Sammi figured it out and I no longer feel worried about driving my car! As a girl, it’s always intimidating finding a new mechanic to trust, but sammi made it so easy! 10/10.

This place absolutely deserves five stars. Once again, Sami went above and beyond for me today. I had to drop my car off before they opened, and he let me parking on the street and drop off the keys, and he went out of his way to go get my car and get it fixed. He has some of the best prices in the entire city, he's super kind, they do a fantastic job, and I'll be going there for as long as I live in Los Angeles. 10 out of 10.
