Stokes Tire Service

In and out in 90 minutes flat. Talk to Jack. He hooked me up, super responsive, and called when he said he would. My tech did a great job. I’ll be back if I ever need to replace a tire.

Best shop on the westside if price is no object. They can do custom alignment and track setups. Considerable mark up on tires though. But that is unavoidable considering the location. If you have a little money and you just don’t want any fuckups, this is the place.

These guys always help me out when I need service for my car. Over the last couple years, I’ve gotten all 4 tires from them and this week stopped in for a battery replacement. Solid, honest shop with friendly employees. Thank you!

Wow! Stokes is a solid shop.
Called up since I am having some issues with my vehicle. I requested a time slot for some spark plug replacements. A few questions in, Jack got me pointed in a proper direction. Actually talked me down, which basically takes money off the table for them.
I think that is as honest as you can get in the business. It’s something everyone reading reviews should take note of.
This shop isn’t just after money. They want to be trusted and to do the right thing for each customer. It’s really the best I’ve ever been to. And the staff is far above par.
Couldn’t believe it. Much thanks to Jack and his advice. There’s a reason this place is my go to. Just awesome!

Okay so this is only going to reiterate what everyone has said in past reviews, but I just couldn’t help share my experience. Truly grateful for their service.
I’m currently a nurse at UCLA SM and I had a flat. I called in the morning and they told me that they would not know the wait time at 3pm, however they said to just call ahead and they would put me on the queue. I did as instructed. I was late in coming in, but they didn’t give me a hard time at all. I had about 10 minutes to spare and they let me drop off my car to be serviced. I was not able to come back by the time closing time, but Jack reassured me that my car would be safe in his lot, and it was. He even texted me to let me know what was done on my car and when it was ready.
Excellent service and not to mention… honest! They could have told me I needed an entirely new tire, but they were able to patch it up. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!
Thank you jack!

These people are amazing – kind, friendly, ethical. Went to get a tire replaced. Dealer price was $ 250. These guys said they could do same for $ 220. I agreed. Came back to pick up car and they said it would be $ 35 total as they were able to fix puncture without replacing the tire.
This was AFTER I had already agreed to pay for replacement. This is how business should be done. Can’t say enough good about these lovely people. True pros!

For over 20 years I’ve done business with Stokes. Occasionally I went to a discount tire place only to regret it. Look at the employees. These are seasoned techs that have been with Jon for years. They are paid well compared to other dealers and auto repair shops. Their repairs and attention to detail reflect this. Sadly, now I have a small RV and can no longer go there for tires, etc. I’ve tried two other places and both places did substandard work which required return trips. This never happened at Stokes. Keep up the good work guys and please consider servicing my small RV! It’s like a sprinter van!

I’m going to go ahead and echo a lot of the sentiments expressed in previous reviews…
Having to do maintenance on your car sucks. I don’t know anybody who likes dealing with the unexpected cost and lost time that comes with your car needing work. But if you have to do it, I’d go to these guys first.
I brought my car here a few times over the past three years, and each time, the experience is pleasant. They have a big, clean lot and an impressive showroom. Everyone you talk to there seems to be attentive, honest, and glad you’re there. It’s clear the management here values customer service.
I recently had to bring my car in for a rattling coming from one of my wheel wells. I of course feared the worst. Alberto and Jeff took a look and decided it was simply a loose axle nut. The cranked it back tightly and I was back on my way, free of charge. Other businesses may have capitalized on the opportunity to sell me products and services I don’t need, but these guys are too good for that. They simply explained that they’re committed to the quality of their work, and since I had brought the car in for a brake job months earlier, they just wanted to be sure it wasn’t something they had done.
That commitment to excellence will keep me going back to these guys for years to come.

I have had everything done here from oil changes to brake pads to rotors etc. The first couple estimates I got from here I thought seemed a little high. I shopped around and found this was lower by a couple hundred dollars. They have always been honest with me and told me what I need to get done immediately vs what I can have done down the road. Nice to find a place you trust that gets it done QUICKLY and back on the road in no time.

It is so difficult to find a reliable, honest, hardworking, friendly tire store in the neighborhood. I mean, car maintenance is never fun! But after reading the Unilocal reviews, I decided to take my car in for new set of four tires. I’m so glad I did because my car is running great and it feels like driving a brand new car.
On Saturday, we just drove the car into their lot without any appointment. The man behind the counter was super nice and knowledgeable, inspected the tires, and confirmed that they were totally worn out. He said they probably won’t last more than 5K miles… yikes! So that day, he gave us three options for the tires, all good but with price differences. He explained the pros and cons of each, and didn’t pressure us in one brand over the other. We decided on the BridgeStone brand. Since they were overbooked, they told us to come back on Monday (they’re closed on Sunday).
Monday came and we dropped off the car. During the inspection, they also found out that we needed to change the bearings because they were on the verge of breaking point. They called us to explain, gave us the quote for parts and labor and allowed us to make a decision. All this time, the guy on the phone was super nice, friendly and not-​pushy at all.
So at the end, we bought four new tires, fixed the bearings and fixed the alignment. I know they did an excellent job because my car now runs like a brand new car off the lot — it’s smooth, quiet and the car is very stable. I can feel the difference, especially when making turns. These guys did an excellent job and I would go back there again for all tire services. Even if you’re just shopping around and getting info, they’ll be great resource to go to.

Took the GF’s Prius here for some maintenance on one of the car’s tires, which had begun to run a bit flat.

— The technicians who did maintenance went above and beyond what we had been expecting. In addition to repairing the damaged tire back into stable and working condition, they did a thorough inspection of the car’s other tires, and alerted us to the status of one of the other tires, which had already been worked on by another shop.
The crew at Stokes informed us that the initial repairs made on the tire were not carried out properly; instead of completely repairing the tire surface, the shop that had previously worked on the car plugged up the damaged part of the tread, resulting in a tire that was capable of unexpectedly collapsing at any time. While we decided not to address the issue right there and then, we were nonetheless very appreciative of the heads-​up!
— I also appreciated how the staff members took the time to greet and welcome us. An employee who was on the phone making orders even placed his call on hold to ensure that we were being helped!
— There’s free wifi and a selection of magazines for you to browse through while you’re waiting on your vehicle.
Of course, if you’re into cars, feel free to gawk at the shop owner’s 911 GT3; I see it quite often on my commute home from work, and my jaw always hits the floor when i happen to spot this sweet ride!

Keith or Craig was my rep. Over due review. He’s an older gentleman. He was so sweet and honest and I felt like he only wanted the best for me. I didn’t feel like he was trying to sell me something I didn’t need (new tires) and everything was done quick and efficient! The five stars is mainly for this guy!

They are super nice, efficient, and reasonably priced. I got my tire patched for $ 35. Didn’t have to sit there and talk for a long time or have them try to sell me unnecessary stuff. Def felt comfortable coming here and will be back!

This place is clean friendly reasonably priced and have it together. They shake your hand when you meet them. Tell you how long it’s going to take, recommend local places to eat. They are how businesses should be ran now a days and you just don’t see it but you’ll find it here absolutely can’t say enough about this place!

Got both of my cars alignments done here. They got it right the first time! Very professional and knowledgeable.
They actually use a torque wrench to put the lugs back on. Amazing! I challenge you to find a shop in LA where a tech even owns a torque wrench. Great job and will be back.

WhooHoo score for me!
Dropped my car off at 7:25 am with Ron [you’re a ROCK STAR] to have my brakes done. Called mid-​day to check on the status and to ask if they could install my front license plate b/​c some lame’o in BH pulled it off when they moved their car [3 tix later]. Ron said brakes don’t need repair however do need 2 rear tires.
Thank you for the honesty!

I had a flat tire last week, and my friend said only they can work on my car’s tire, so I called them and I talked to Jack, he was very nice and specific on the phone, I feel good about the place, so I took my car there. They looked at the tire, and told me they can fix it because I only have 3,000 miles on it, and the tire is still in the great shape. They were very honest, they could easily said I needed a new tire which would have cost me around $ 500! They were very careful with my car, and took time and fixed the damages on my tire nicely. The place is very nice and clean, everyone was very nice, honest, they made me feel better after having a flat (was a nightmare), I finally met Jack, he was even nicer in person. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone.
Thank you Stokes tire!

I stopped by Stokes to see what the price would be for some new brake pads because mine were squeaky. Frank had one of the technicians take a look and gave me a quote; no hard sell or pushy service. I went down the street to two other tire places to see what they’d charge and they were more expensive.
I called Frank shortly after and made an appointment. They did a great job and I’m sure I’ll be back.
Very busy place so if you stop by or call in, be patient. It’s worth the wait!

As mentioned, I brought my car here to get an oil change a while back. My dad had bought me synthetic oil, but it was the wrong weight (5W-​30 instead of 5W-​20). They said that they wouldn’t recommend using it, so I ended up just buying oil from them and spending something around $ 80 (can’t remember the exact amount now) on my oil change.
I later asked my dad and he said he thought the oil I had would be fine, especially considering the weather here is so moderate. I did some research online and most people also said that it would be fine, but I might notice a slight change in gas mileage.
Well this time around I took my car to Valvoline on Lincoln near the ten, and they said the same thing about the oil– that I might notice a slight change in gas mileage but that it was fine to use.
I had an awesome experience at Valvoline and will definitely continue getting my oil changes done there. I would recommend Stokes for tire-​related things, but not for oil changes.

Needed a tire patch and Stockes Tire came to the rescue. I was already in their system after only coming here once before about 8 years ago. 45 minutes and $ 30 later I sped away a happy girl.
The guys there are the friendliest! A gentleman even asked me if I want the window closed because I looked cold.
