Ive had a couple of things done on my Wrangler here, including fine-tuning the suspension and geometry, as well as re-installing a diff cover. Both times the work was impeccable and my Jeep rides so much better. Great to work with Brian A. both times.
Came here to support ocal business. Now Im headed to another establishment to fix an elementary issue. What a mistake to trust Able, tire and Brake for professional work when they committed to start the work on my car.The help was poor and misleading. First, as a consumer you are not informed of rebates and current promotions on tires to save money so Im actually glad I walked out because Im saving hundreds at another store. The $1100 bill for michelins without telling me the company offers $100 plus $50 gift card and charge more than any other establishment. toscslitos helped me with additional service that Able just did nit offer to figure out if tbry wheel was damaged anyway I asked them if they could help solve my auto pulling to the right. They decided to rotate the two front tires but instead of crossing them to see which tire was bad and after I asked several times they I insisted to swapied them to the rear. Dumb. Then the car still pulled to the right. Later I found out the do not torch the suspension but that the wheels were indeed torqued to the right. This information helpful when o finally got the alignment print out describing what happened initially but these people have blinders on. Of course Then I paid for they suggested $150 wheel alignment but I asked them for the paperwork and the machine print was broken and they never called me when it was fixed. A mechanic solved an alignment issue but no paperwork . That mechanic that did alignment said car was pulling so he crossed those tires the front that were in the rear Now its all over the road pulling to the left. Now Brian steps in and I return ( more hours) balances the tires and tells me that would help with alignment (how?) but he ignored my request to put back my original front tires back to original order so now Im frustrated after hours waiting until this point. He didnt tell this prior to doing this but the car vibrated after the wheel alignment after the mechanic said it was pulling. Now Jaime said okay lets ride so the car was pulling he said they should LISTEN to the customer and in order to find put of I had a bad tire we but the originals back on order front tires to check the pulling. Jaime later changed his mind says live with it buy tires. then they charged me 600 dollars and credit here and there was a messup with charges all over my credit card and no return call from snyone in charge. Then they were rude w about it when I came in to fix.
The only place to buy tires and get vehicle service in Novato. Great service.
Needed some new trailer tires and was in and out in about an hour. Very professional and personable
New wheels and tires, oil change on my 17 Impala. They were great, excellent service!
They take care of everything! Quick service got me to Tahoe early when I lost a new tire to a nail!
I buy all my tires from Able Tire & Brake, I have been doing so since 1978. With competitive prices, great service & a courteous, professional staff, I dont need to go anywhere else. Their great customer service doesnt end once youve paid the bill & walk out the door.
Good services and price
Great people and service.

Never had anything but excellent service here. Recommend them to everyone! Keep up the great work!
Great professional service. Got our tire fixed fast 🙂
Definitely my favorite place to take my car to get new tires. If you want reliable and good quality work for a great price, come to Able. By far, the best tire service I have ever gotten and no other place in Marin can compare. Thank you, Brian and Jamie and the rest of you guys at Able Tires for your dedicated and hard work. I greatly appreciate you guys and thank you for your reliable work that I have gotten done with you guys on 3 different cars already!
Been working with Barry and his team for years. Great service, knowledgeable and they explain what needs to be done clearly
Amazing service. Had an issue with the tire pressure check. Guys helped me to solve it in 20 min and the same day it appeared on the panel. Recommend this place and will definitely visit in the future.Updated on 07/24/2019Had to replace a tire - went to this place of course:) They ordered my specific tire in one day and did everything in 25 minutes. Impressed! Awesome service as always. My favorite auto service place! Highly recommend! Thank you Able Tire.
Nice family owned establishment
They are very knowledgeable and always happy to help(even if you just walk in without an appointment). I have been going to them for years and never had a complaint. I totally recommend them 100%.
Wonderful! Every body are very professional, fast my experience with them was absolutely great!💕
Great local shop for tires and repairs. Good price and service. I gave 4 stars because it took 1 hour for them to put tires tires on. But I’d definitely recommend them
These guys were great! The day before Christmas Eve,, while rushing some last-minute holiday errands, my tires popped. At this busy holiday time, it took two hours to get a tow, during which time I could not get any tire company in San Rafael or Novato to help; They were all closing up for the holidays and only options offered included leaving my car for minimum of four days without a loaner for the Christmas festivities. Even the BMW dealership had no loaners, and nothing to offer in the way of getting me mobile. Low and behold, when I called Abel Tire, George answered And was extremely kind and helpful. Abel Ture had a new set of wheels on my car within an hour of arriving at their shop! They even topped off my brake fluid because there was a light on on my dash! Brian was the service gentleman who helped me with this, with a smile and at no extra charge! I highly recommend this facility for any automotive bind you may find yourself in. They were so kind and courteous and the only shop that did not have To special order the Michelin tires I had them put on. Thank you George and Brian!
Awesome interaction! Got vehicle taken care of super fast! However, even after installing new tires, the tire pressure light came back on 30 minutes after driving away.
Great place, nothing sketchy, just the facts, no pressure, no lies. A mature staff with experience with a retro feeling shop that takes one back to a simpler better time. All appointments and work have been completed in a timely workman like manner.
Nice place, friendly staff. Docked off a star because I got my window fixed and it broke again 1 week later....they were very accommodating but still a bit frustrating. Also not sure how their prices compare but they seemed a bit high.
Excellent!
Just picked up my work van from the Novato Able Tire & Brake store-Love the new tires that Jim sold me they look great and I got them at a very reasonable price so I am super happy!Have to also give a shout out to Chuck the front end alignment guru my 1997 Chevy work van rides and drives like its brand new!Thanks Jim and Chuck I highly recommend you guys!
Amazing service!
Able tire and brakeis always gives me fast and friendly service. Their staff is knowledgeable and helpful.
Great customer service and free tire rotation service when you buy a set of 4
I wish I didn’t have to give any stars because it’s not even worth 1. I went in to have a new tire placed on my car and was told because I wasn’t going to purchase 2 new tires he wouldn’t be able to put one on for me but could give it to me to put on myself! So let me get this straight because I couldn’t afford 2 tires your going to make me put the tire on myself? Yeah that’s great customer service. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.
Excellent service, if youre looking for a place with honest and efficient, this is the one.
Very helpful suggested a good tire for my truck which is very difficult truck to put tires on and beat literally every internet price around! For the tire I needed! They are a competitive and honest tire shop
Great shop. I drive up here from Southern Marin to get my tires...well worth it.
I have been purchasing tires from Able Tires for years. Great people,honest and fair prices.
4 tires and alignment, out the door the same day, great fast service and reasonable price
Good customer service and good prices is the place to go for your car maintenance in Novato
Had my trailer brakes serviced here. These guys will see through all of your concerns and will accomplish the needed results. You are treated like family here.
Love this place, they can get you in at any time and their prices are outstanding. I have been taking my 2 vehicles here for years. I would recommend Able Tire to all my friends!
They did a great job on my tires and it was really inexpensive! Theyre also close by to a shopping center so you can go walk around and grab some food while you wait.

Great Service. Excellent Prices.
Great service
Great service, did a great job on my car.. great reputation. Thanks to everyone at Able Tire and Brake!
Had a screw in tire and they took care of it in 20 minutes.
Ive been coming here for about a decade. Friendly knowledgeable staff and they are one of 2 places in NorCal that carry Nokian tires, a Finnish brand that is excellent in snow but can be used year round. Look up all weather vs all season and youll never buy all season again. Youll probably at least consider Nokian too. Anyway, I took off two stars for my last visit. They replaced a tire I blew due to a road hazard. They didnt try to sell me 4 new tires which I appreciated. However, they put my spare tire back on incorrectly, even after I offered to show them the process (which is really specific to my Highlander because its mounted under the SUV). They reinstalled it with the nice part of the rim facing down toward the road. Had I not caught this, the rim would have gotten. Really scratched up. They also scratched it because the mounting hardware was installed in such a way that it rubbed against the nice alloy. This should have been very apparent. In addition, I asked them why installed the new tire on the back. They told me its their policy to do that. They had a decent explanation regarding traction and awd. However, I was most concerned with the fact that the tire was a lot newer and I wanted it to be placed opposite the other higher tread tire in front. They told me if I wanted to pay more to have it re balanced and installed that way theyd do it. Now, that may not sound like a big deal, but free rotation was included for the last 2 sets of tires Ive purchased. Ive never used this because I have my SUV serviced at Toyota and its included there. Despite this theyd charge me to put out my new $250 tire in a position to maximize wear? Just a bit disappointed to be honest. The next time I get my Nokians, I will look at what the shop in Auburn has to offer and consider. My loyalty can be earned, but this really wasnt the way to do it.
What a gem of a business in Novato. Good prices, short wait for service and a place I can trust to do a great job without any effort to upsell.
New tires for my trailer the price was competitive service was great
Great service, super knowledgeable staff, I’ve been taking my vehicles here for over 26 years.
Always super nice and professional.
Good place for tires. Roughly Costco pricing with better service
Over 30 years of being a customer with Able says much about the dependability and courtesy of this shop. THANKS to Bob, Jim, and Doug.
Bought tires and had an alignment. The work was good and the price easily beat the online tire stores, all things considered.
Great customer service.gavs me a ride home.
Good customer service.
Best in Marin.
Very helpful and honest and the price is good
Great service, good people!
Great service just takes too long
Great place, fair prices and friendly staff. I am a client for life!
I called about 10 different tire shops throughout Petaluma and Novato pricing out a complete set of 255/55/19R tires. I ended going with Able in Novato since they had the lowest price on the Bridgestone Dueler Alenza tires in my size and threw in an alignment for $99. Able was cheaper than even Costco. I highly recommend Able Tire & Brake to anyone in the North Bay Area who is looking for tires. They offer free tire rotations every 5k miles. Doug, the general manager is a genuinely great guy who has been nothing but helpful every time I ask questions.
Helped me with a tire replacement after a 101 blowout (fun!) with about 10 minutes left in their Saturday workday, much thanks!
Fast service and a great selection of tires.
Great prices expert advice
Been buying tires at Able Tire and Brake since 1981
Drop a tire to be fixed and received a phone call saying that my tire were ready to be picked up and was going to cost $35. When I got to shop to pick up my tire I was told that I needed a new tire and was going to cost $105.And the only explanation I got was Bob the owner who called you.
