George Oren Tire Specialist

I scrolled down Unilocal,reading review after review of different tire places near me and I also called a few places. The only place that told me they could change my tire in less than an hour was George Oren. And when I got there they changed my tire in about fifteen minutes. Their price was reasonable and everyone was polite, friendly, and diligent. Most of the auto repair places I’ve been to feature surly personality types, so the atmosphere at this location was particularly refreshing.

These guys rock! I brought two flat tires expecting to buy two new tires. Turns out they were fine and they fixed the tires without charging me a dime! Thanks Danny!

I went here to get my alignment done, after a place in Berkeley did a terrible job not fixing the alignment on my car. The folks at George Oren were knowledgeable and friendly to chat with while waiting for my car. They ran the computerized alignment then drove it around the block a few times. When they noticed it was still pulling to one side, they had another idea to fix it and rotated the tires twice until the alignment issue was corrected. I really appreciated the time they spent plus the insistence on getting it right. I definitely recommend this place.

This shop is amazing. People are nice and knowledgeable. My 2016 civic just hit a curb last night and caused 1 of the rim bent. I submitted a quote on Unilocal and they immediately followed in the next afternoon. They gave me the price that no one would offer. Best auto shop in the east bay if you need ur car fixed! Thank you so much

Have worked with Doug and his team on several cars. Always happy with his service and the price is fair. It is nice to deal with a family run business and helps that they have been a pillar in the community for years. I’m sorry to have never met Mr. George Oren himself as I understand he was a great guy.
Nice to know his grand son in-​law is doing such a great job carrying on the tradition of service and customer care.
If you need tires, brakes or other undercar work you
can trust George Oren tire.

Dependable, knowledgeable and friendly service. They switched out our tires in preparation for a trip to Oregon that included snow and ice. The car performed beautifully — safe and smooth. I’d definitely return for future service.

I have been using the Oakland George Oren shop for years for tires. They always give me honest answers and great prices on tires. In this day of chain stores, it’s great to find a small local business that does great work for a reasonable cost. Everyone who works here is a pleasure to deal with. If a tire can be saved, they will repair it for a very reasonable cost, and if I need a new tire (Oakland has the worst pot holes) they will get it fast for a competitive cost.

Stopped in today to get new tires for the car. The facility could definately use some work but the service was really good, the guy who was working the desk was super nice and very helpful. I was charged a fair price and it only took about an hour so that is a big win. If you need tires this is the spot.

This place is Great! Super nice people. I had a flat and I was in and out of there in no time. They saved the day.

These guys are great. I had a tire blow out and I stopped in to get a pair of tires. They ordered my new tires and had them in within a day and had them on my car in under an hour. I even came in for new breaks and the service was just as good, they even replaced my turn indicator which is outside of their specialty.

Friendly, knowledgeable, competitive prices, fast and reliable.
I went in early on a Saturday morning for my appointment to get 4 new tires and a 4 wheel alignment. They confirmed that I did indeed need an alignment, replaced the tires, did the alignment and I was out the door in less than 1.5 hours! And, the alignment is guaranteed for 6 months and they encourage you to return then for a free alignment check to be sure its still good! I’ll definitely be getting my next set of tires at GO in the future. Costco may be a little cheaper, but they don’t do any repairs or alignment or anything like that so for one-​stop shopping go to George Oren.

I first went to George Oren in April to replace a slow running flat tire. I had emailed them over Easter weekend and was surprised to get a response from the owner, Doug, in a few hours. He was able to provide a price quote and schedule an appointment for me in a matter of hours. I went in on Monday and the service was excellent. It took about 15 minutes to replace the tire. The price was much better than the dealership. My brother also looked at Costco for me but who wants to wait 2 hours and eat hot dogs there? Not me…
Then recently I got a flat tire the night before I was about to go on a business trip. Once again I went back to Doug for help. And a few emails later, we were back to another appointment conveniently scheduled for when I was back in town. As luck would have it, it was the same tire I had purchased back in April. This time Doug smiled and said it was repairable and showed me the metal item that caused the flat. My tire was repaired in another 5 to 10 minutes for around $ 20. it is great to have that service level for a flat tire.
So if you are looking for great service, reasonable prices, and a quick turnaround time, then I would highly recommend George Oren Tire Specialist in Oakland. I write this after 2 experiences. After all consistency is key and they have been great for my 2 visits!

I phoned in to ask a few questions and Michelle was super great and very helpful– I liked the shop immediately! As I was on hold I learned some of the history of this family owned business via the prerecorded message, as well some of the services provided…
When I arrived, I was greeted by the shop owner Doug, who was kind and professional & showed me around.
All in all a great experience! I need used tires and I got a deal and great service! Will certainly do business again!

They gave me the best tire change ever. They are a down to earth and friendly crew. One of the members, Mike, even took the time to teach me the mechanics behind changing tires and walked me right threw the whole process. Not once did I feel rushed or unwelcomed. They are also quick and efficient with no room for error. End the cherry on the top, they completed a job no other tire shop could. I will always go to them. The professionalism is beyond great.

Great service. Rodger the lead mechanic down there is awesome! Great alignment job on my 4Runner 3 years ago. Great job getting my stuck tire off my F150. I recommend these guys.

A new set of tires is really expensive these days. When I noticed my tires were getting on the scary side, I started saving my money for months.
Before going to George Oren’s I stopped by Fernando’s, which is close, and realized that place is better for a tire fix or used tires. I needed new tires that would last and gave me a sense of safety. George Oren’s provided that.
First off I will say that you need to talk to Danny. He was one of the most mellow and knowledgeable tire «salesmen» that I have ever encountered. He really knew the tires and didn’t try and give me an up sell or some other bullshat. He asked all the right questions before he recommended a couple choices and gave me an out the door price, which ended up being a bit lower come bill time. A very professional and knowledgeable guy, who is also a Black Sabbath fan!
The tires weren’t super cheap, because they are quality tires and it isn’t the 70’s or 80’s anymore, but this is the first time I have purchased tires and actually left feeling confident about my decision. My car drives SO much better.
George Oren’s needs to give Danny some sort of raise, I will be recommending this location to all of my friends based on his seriously awesome service!

Great service, good value. lightning fast. I have been scammed at other tire places before because I’m a woman and they assumed I wouldn’t know anything. the people at George Oren didn’t try to scam me or upsell me but gave me exactly what I wanted at a great price in record time. Fantastic people.

Well run, knowledgable, decent people, trustworthy, decent prices… felt really nice to go to a neighborhood place that isn’t costco or big o… and i will be back.

I do not trust this place! My bf came in a rush to patch his flat tire and they wanted to charge him $ 25 and also, wanted to keep his car overnight saying that the tire cant be patch and they need to check his car for other problem! That is total BULLSH*t’! I told my bf to pass up on it and go to the next nearest shop where he end up getting his tire patch for $ 15 and was done in 15mins!
My bf sister was also telling me bout her flat tire and how a shop wanted to keep her car overnight to patch and inspect and i immediately cut her off and ask her was it this place on international and she said yes! I dont understand why does this shop want to keep cars overnight? It is just a flat tire on a fairly new car. Do you guys want to test drive it? It isnt necessary to keep a car overnight and to charge $ 25 to patch a tire when there are so many competitors around you for way lower price!
By the way, the owner commented before saying he tried to contact me but no response just to make his business sounds better.

Great people who actually are willing to help you and not just «seem» like they do. They update you in a timely fashion. Keep their words. Honest. And really good prices. I got my new michelin tires here and saved 100 – 300 dollars compared to anywhere else. These are top grade tires. Also they have a 6 month warranty for their alignment so you can always bring it back within 6 months and get it rechecked free of charge. They’ll let you know if they have special promotional offers from the tire brands too.
I called in to have a price quote and the man on the phone spent at least 30 min explaining things to me, the different brands and their performance. He suggested i schedule an appointment because they can get busy or just try first come first serve if i have time. Went in the next day and he remembered me, our conversation and everything was so smooth sailing i was in and out of there in 35 mins but i wish i stayed longer.
I really enjoy thier work and will dfinately come back.
