Walt’s Tire Factory

I’ve been going here since the day I could drive.
In high school I was doing sine stupid stuff and popped my tire. He fixed for free. They’re always so nice. If I’m in the area and need something with my car I always run to these guys. They’re wonderful.

The owner’s are the nicest, most honest people who go above and beyond in customer service and quality tires. Very personal service.

Walt’s is the best in Yelm. Period. Good Christian man. Won’t go anywhere else.

My niece had a nail in her tire. They patched it and had her out the door in less than 10 min. Very friendly and they even have her a great deal.

Walt’s is Great! They may be a bit more than down the road, but their customer service, personal service, and quality is unmatched. I went to Les Schwab today for an alignment, they told me it’d be an hour so I went into town to do a couple things, came back and then they said the guy had a lot going on and it’d be another hour perhaps two, asked for my keys, the phone rang and she immediately picked it up. I stood there for 3 – 4 minutes while she talked to someone, I said we’ll could you just call me when the alignment guy is ready and with a rude voice and no concern she said no. «we have way too much going on to call people in advance» with me being so nice I just said okay… anyways I went to Walt’s, the lady at the front desk greeted me very sincerely and professionally, I said I wanted to have an alignment on my car, and she respectful said we are booked till 4pm but can add to for then or tomorrow or anytime you are available… I decided at the moment I’d wait off because I wasn’t sure what I had going on. on my way out, the owner was walking in, asked me how I was doing, what I had going on and was very sincere. I called them an hour later and scheduled my alignment for 4pm. Even told them my experience at Les Schwab, I attempted to think of the word about it at the moment but one guy said «customer service is the key» as I expressed me experience… which is exact… I don’t mind spending an extra $ 10 to be appreciated with a great warranty and knowing people really run a legit business instead of just working for a huge corporation for a paycheck… Walt’s Cares! Buy Local!!!

I have taken all my vehicles to Walt’s, its the only place I go and trust and they are like Family. Having expensive cars like Mercedes, Maserati, Escalades. etc i really need people can trust even more so as to treat me right and not charge me for things I don’t need. These people are as honest as the day is long and absolutely true servants to their clients. If you need Tires, Brakes, Wheels, Light Mechanical Work, Alignments don’t even think about going anywhere else these people have amazing pricing, off the chart service, and extreme knowledge on how to do things right and have you in and out in no time. My moto is More Walt’s — -Les Scwabb:)!!!

Walt’s is by far the best tire store around! I am terrible about keeping up on my car alignment, tires… etc. but they are so helpful! Always managing to help me out more than I ever thought they could! Love this business!!!

Walts has always been extremely helpful, diagnosing my vehicles and getting them fixed as quickly as possible. I have sent several people to Walts and so far nobody has been disappointed. Walks also is one of the few places around that will mount and balance tires larger than 33″.

I do love Walt’s Tire! They are so kind! Today I went in think a mount/​balance was $ 10 a tire (I know, its the ADD), but it was $ 17.50 (best deal in town), and when I heard the price in almost had a heart attack it was almost twice what I budgeted for! So taking pity on me they gave me a discount and I did pay a little more then I planned but it was do-​able. Thanks Paul and the whole Walt’s Tire crew! You guys are awesome!

Small hometown service, great folks, great service, very friendly, caring!

Got tires and oil change. These guys are great, fast, very friendly and great prices. Most of all honest! Been in several times and they told me I was not due for tires yet.

I don’t know where to begin in regard to Walt’s. When you buy tires at Walt’s, then you will receive free services for the life of the tires. We have had tire checks, rotations, and inspections performed with never so much as a question. Last month one of the employees even took the time to drive our car around town for a bit to determine whether or not the tires were gripping the road well.
The owner of Walt’s has helped us with tire emergencies, too. We once needed tires on the fly for what was not a great deal of money, and he managed to scrape up an excellent set of used tires that had miles and miles left on them. We were able to have these rotated for free as well.
And when our car has needed automotive repairs it has been the owner of Walt’s who has directed us to the right places. This particular mechanics he has recommended have performed work on our car for less than the more popular places in our area, and the work has lasted. In fact, the owner had information about just about every automotive business in the area, and he has not been wrong yet. We trust his judgment, and we have been treated well by the staff every time that we’ve needed help.
There may be large chains in our area and larger and more popular garages, but we try to use Walt’s for every service that can be performed there. The work is insured, and I don’t have to worry about being taken advantage of.

This business just lost my business. I found several quotes online for a tire they carry. The best they were willing to do was quote me the price in the computer that was about 15 dollars more per tire than the best prices I found elswhere for the identical item. They refused to even consider matching the price. I walked out and won’t be back. I ended up buying a full set of tires at a business in Lacey that WAS willing to earn my business by being competitive on price. I don’t want to do business with someone who won’t do what it takes to keep by patronage.
