El Chino Tires

"$25 to repair a flat tire, you be the judge. Only reason i went to El Chino is because it was late and in a hurry. Had I known they were going to charge $25 I would have driven elsewhere. When i asked the guy why they cahrge so much he said in TJ they charge $50 Mx pesos. Does he think because we are not in TJ he can charge an outrageous amount? There are many other tire shops within 5-10min. Never going there again."

"I love these guys, TJ in San Marcos. Super chill, no frills, cash works best There did a plug for me and it’s still up in there somewhere. A+"

"The recent negative review made me sceptical, and after my visit it turns out I had essentially the same experience. First off, they were cordial and decently quick in terms of service, but the upsides end there. My main complaint is the price. $130 to mount 4 tires with no balance is absolutely ridiculous, I could go to Discount Tire and get a mount a balance for less. Over the phone I was told "about $10 per tire." Secondly there was a clear disregard for safety and following proper specs. One of my tires was inflated to 44 psi while cold, meaning it would have been very close to the 51 psi limit of the tires, especially when hot. They also left the car on a jack with no stands while mounting the tires. Lastly, no torque specs were followed on the lug nuts. They were quite far past the 100ft-lb spec, requiring over 130ft-lb on my torque wrench to break them loose. I wouldn't recommend coming here for tire mounting at all. At the very least double or triple check the price before they start working."

"Manuel took care of me. He try to see if he could fix it before making me buy tires. Thakfully it was fixable so he plugged my tire!!! He also showed me great used tires that had almost unused treads. I will only come here to get my tires done. He is honest and very friendly! You wont be disappointed i promise you"
