TIRE SERVICES

Everything Your Tires Need, in One Stop

From a slow leak to a full set of new tires, we handle it at our San Carlos shop. You see the photos and the price before we start, and you only pay for what your car needs.

New tire installation

We mount and balance every tire and check it before you drive away. Tell us your vehicle or tire size and we’ll quote the options that fit your car and your budget.

Flat tire repair

A nail or screw in the tread can often be patched and plugged safely, so you don’t have to buy a new tire. If the damage can’t be repaired safely, we’ll show you why and explain your options.

Tire rotation and balancing

Rotating your tires on schedule helps them wear evenly and last longer. Balancing removes the vibration you feel in the steering wheel at highway speed.

Wheel alignment

A car that pulls to one side, or tires that wear unevenly on the edges, usually point to an alignment problem. We check it with new tire installs and fix it before it wears out your new tires.

New Tires, Flat Repair and Tire Service

Worn or damaged tires reduce grip and stopping power, and can cause vibration, pulling to one side, uneven wear or a tire pressure warning.


Whether you need a flat repaired, a single tire replaced or a full set of new tires, we start with a Digital Vehicle Inspection: photos of what we find, a plain-English explanation, and an up-front price you approve before any work begins.

What we check:

  • Tread depth and tire wear patterns
  • Sidewalls, punctures and damage
  • Tire pressure and valve stems
  • Wheel alignment and balance

WHY DRIVERS CHOOSE A+

What your neighbors say

We're grateful to have over 2,000 positive reviews from the community.

I noticed I had a screw in my tire... I called A+ Japanese Auto Repair, and even though they were pretty backed up, they were able to squeeze me in. ...the staff were very friendly and I didn’t feel any pressure for any extra services. I appreciated that. I highly recommend A+ Japanese Auto Repair.

Mike S.

They tell you straight what your car actually needs and what it doesn’t, and they never tried to upsell me. It was clear they cared about making sure my car was safe to drive. If you’re looking for a shop you can trust, this is it. Highly recommend!

Brandon G.

The work was done in a timely manner, price was fair and customer service was excellent. We have three different Japanese vehicle brands in our family and I feel comfortable to have them all serviced at A+ Japanese Auto Repair!

OUR STORY

Family owned since 1997

The founder of A+ came to the United States from Turkey and started out as a bicycle mechanic, then spent years as a head technician at a dealership. In 1997, in his mid-40s, he opened A+ Japanese Auto Repair in San Carlos. It was a family affair from the first day.
