I am sorry to say that I am not happy with the service I got. I went there to address a vibration indicating unbalanced tires. The guy balanced them but couldnt tell me how much he had to do or by how much they were off. He just assured me it was all done--not in the most eloquent way.There was no effect; if anything, it got worse. I went to the dealer next, and after aligning they said all rims were bent and could not be balanced well, and that some small rings were missing on two of the wheels and gave me the other two. So I lost my trust in this place.

I have been to many auto body’s and tire places in the past with different vehicles and with this one! My Jeep is my little baby. I have had her for 11 years now and I am very particular where I bring her. I read the reviews on this place and gave them a try!!! BOY AM I BEYOND HAPPY I DID! Everyone was so friendly, so professional they made you feel welcome. Being a woman going to get your car serviced is always nerve racking! They had women working the front who were so knowledgeable and helpful the owner (at least I think he may be the owner) was so friendly so helpful! I will be bringing my car back here for EVERYTHING! And will tell all my friends and family to do the same! I am beyond happy with my experience! Thank you all so much

I cannot recommend Express Tire any higher. I called because I needed tires yesterday. Spoke with Darren who couldn’t have been more helpful. After helping me figure my tire size, he made recommendations for my vehicle that didn’t break the bank, and scheduled me for 2 days out. When I went to the location Lisa couldn’t have been any sweeter. She gave me an approximate time for pick up. She text me my inspection with no pressure sales. I did add 2 additional services and my vehicle was still ready at the estimated time.Thanks so much for helping me navigate something so out of my wheelhouse with ease and comfort.I will be back.

I looked them up using Google and Im glad I did. The service there is good they gave me a free estimate of what needed to be done and gave me a loaner car while I got the estimate and going back in to get my car fixed. Darren told me to bring my civic in so they could look it over so I wouldnt get overcharged for work I didnt need on it. That was cool. Gave me reassurance. Lisa provided me with what they found needed work and the prices for it as well and gave me the option to have my oil changed the same day they did the work. That place, in my opinion, is a reliable company. I definitely notice a difference in the performance with the upper control arm. Ill be using their services again.

I called Express Tire because something felt like it was about to fall off on my car while I was driving. Darren answered said I could bring it right over. Come to find out it was my tire that was about to fall off. The last place I went didnt tighten the wheel. Darren and Express Tire were great. Very professional, very welcoming. I will definitely be going back and using their services. They were also willing to give me a car while they looked over my car.

One the best and easy to work with for your car. Do not pay dealership prices as They will beat with price & superior service. I love the loaner car option as well. They always provide best options and hassle free atmosphere.

I had my a/c checked. Knowing that I was planning to sell my old car if it the expected cost was too high, they honestly told me that the a/c problems were likely to be extensive and the cost high because they smelled Freon. I appreciated their honesty and would do business with them again.

Great experience working with Darren and his team. They did an exceptional job on my vehicle. Very professional and easy to deal with. Because I left my vehicle for the work they continuously kept me updated and they gave me a courtesy car to use. I would recommend Darren and his team at Express Tire in Watertown, MA without hesitation.

Review №18

I went to Express Tire yesterday for a noise coming from my car. Within 30 minutes, Darren and the team checked my car, diagnosed the problem, and had me in a free loaner so I could return to work. They provided me with a few options for service, and understanding that I’d prefer a more affordable option, found a solution and began work, all within the business day, all in time for me to pick up my car by 5 pm. Would highly recommend.

This was my first visit to Express Tire for an oil change. Because I was waiting they took my car right away and were finished within one hour. A special shoutout to Lisa who is so professional, kind and organized and kept everything running like clockwork. One bonus is they have loaner cars (look to be newer and clean) if you need one, although I didn’t opt for one. I had a great experience and will definitely go back!

Review №23

Excellent experience from start to finish at Express Tire and Auto. My truck tires were bordering on Steve Harvey bald and Mother Nature was planning on dropping more than a foot of snow the following day. Darren and his team were able to locate my hard to find tire size, get them mounted and balanced, and had me back on the road in no time. Express tire and auto even offers loaner vehicles so I wasn’t stuck in the waiting room while the truck was being serviced. In the words of my favorite former governor “I’ll be back!”

Review №28

Where to begin with why this shop is excellent. Friendly service, skilled mechanics, honest about work that needs to be done, got me in same-day to fix a window (right before the last Noreaster).But also, the free loaner car that saved me from having to use Uber to pick up my kids from daycare. Having access to a loaner meant I could salvage my day.

Honest and good service - I probably could have gone back to CT or up to NH for cheaper cost, but they discussed my car’s issues and were straight forward, which is rare and very appreciated. Will certainly return again for more services as they’re so nearby.

I was driving home from work when I had to pull over cause my car was driving funny. I pulled into a dunkin donuts and saw I had a flat tire. Just so happens i look across the street and see express tire. Im new to the area and wasnt familiar but decided to check it out. They took me right in. Gave me a new tire and I decided to get all new tires cause they were getting worn. The experience was great! They were very freindly and professional. I was in and out in 45 minutes. I cant speak highly enough about express tire they took me right in and this was right before closing. They helped me out a lot. Thank you for the great service!

Review №39

Express Tire was great! I called ahead and they told me to come right in. I had a screw in my tire and assumed the tire couldnt be patched, but I was wrong. They easily could have convinced me to purchase two new tires on the spot but they patched the hole and I paid less than $50. They also let me know that Ill need to replace the two front tires soon without being pushy. I assured them Id be back since they were so honest and reliable. Their prices are great and they work quickly. I highly recommend Express Tire and Ill definitely be returning to them in the future!

I popped in near closing time to see if they could troubleshoot a slow leak in one of my tires. Despite the impending closing time and many other vehicles in queue for the next day’s work, the manager took my car in. She could have turned me away but it’s this bit of extra kindness and professionalism that makes you a repeat customer.

This place is really great. I called them on a Saturday afternoon when they were going to close in less than an hour and they were able to get me in and take a nail out of my tire so I could go on a road trip.

Awesome shop that really knows their stuff. I had been dealing with a slow leak for a week or more. I showed up without an appointment.

Service is always completed when promised. Staff is able to explain in detail what repairs or maintenance is necessary to keep vehicle running safely.

Ive been a satisfied customer of Express Tire for years, and I keep going back because they consistently do very good work at fair prices, theyre efficient, and they offer great customer service, including a loaner car or a cozy, clean waiting area with comfortable leather chairs and fresh coffee. Darren, Lisa and the rest of the crew are a real pleasure to deal with.

Review №50

I brought my car in to have my tire changed. Lisa took very good care of me. We discovered that all four of my tires were balding and the two front tires were the wrong size. Lisa refused to let me drive home with balding tires. MY RIGHT BACK TIRE WAS AS BALD AS MICHAEL JORDANS HEAD!! 😮😮😵😵It was as if she was my sister. They gave me a loaner car for free over the memorial Day weekend. Upon receiving my car I had four new tires they were aligned and I feel very safe in my car. I would recommend anyone to go to Express tire and Auto service. You have a brand new customer and I am very loyal.

Darron and Lisa always make me feel like an important customer each time I visit. Their service is very prompt and I am thankful to have them taking care of my car when in need. I’ve never had a problem and have only had positive interactions with everyone who works there. Their business is spacious, brightly lit with plenty of windows and cushy seats if you need to take a seat.They were highly recommended to me by a friend and I have the same high opinion. If you want to take the worry away from your car servicing, this Express Tire location is the answer!

I had my car inspected last year and it failed! Tires bald because of miss alignment. I immediately went to Express Tire and Auto in Watertown, MA. I was able to get new tires and a four wheel alignment. With new tires I received free rotation to keep them in good shape. Yesterday I took my car down for free tire rotation. They did a great job and checked the car over for possible other issues. I will be returning to get my car checked in the future.

Darren, Lisa and the rest of the team at Express Tire have always treated me, my family, and any referrals (and our vehicles) with nothing but respect, and professionalism. The team at Express Tire is accurate at their diagnosis of the issue, the estimate of the cost and timely with the repair. They have never tried to up sell a service, but have alway provided the right amount of cost effective preventative maintenance to save from costly repairs down the line.How are they able to do all this? Excellent trust worthy staff, an owner that cares about his staff and his customers, and they perform all the maintenance on my vehicles so they know what to expect with no surprises.Thank you Express Tire.

Review №65

Still a little hesitant about all auto mechanics places. They seem ok. Brought car in for muffler. Told me catalytic converted, 750.00 or so. Told them that was expensive. Then told me that they could fix just the connection flange, would save me 500.00 or so. Should have just told me that to begin with. Next thing I know, replaced rear brakes, aligned tires. Kept finding things. Loaner car was nice. Still came to 700.00 or so.Don’t know - convenience is key, I will go back. But still apprehensive about auto mechanics in general. Hard to find a good one. Overall, will try one more time!

I recently had my daughters Silverado pick up serviced at Express Tire & Auto. Everything from setting up the appointment, the drop off, the service and the pick up was exceptional. I am not a car guy. Darren and the team always take the time to explain exactly what’s happening with my vehicles and how it’s going to be fixed and how much it’s going to cost. After a recommendation from a close friend I have been using Darren and his crew for several years. I have complete confidence in the work that they do cannot recommend them more highly!

Had a flat, took vehicle to Epress as they state that if tires purchased there then free flat repair. Outstanding service, no charge and they use a patch and not a less desirable plug. Cannot tell they worked on tire except for a lefover eraseable chock mark - very clean work, very happy with service. Already decided future tire purchases will be there as I purchased present 4 there a few years ago and they gave me a reasonable price.

Dont even think about going to this place. I went in to have my dead battery replaced and the next morning it wouldnt start. Had a friend jump start me and brought it back and they said battery and alternator tested fine and that maybe the aftermarket radio was drawing off juice from battery so I brought it to car audio shop and they discovered that Express Tire neglected to tighten down the positive terminal on the battery causing it to intermittently work. Talk about incompetence. Such a simple thing and they couldnt even figure it out the second time around....pathetic

Ive been using Express Tire to service my two Priuss for several years. They provide great service at a fair price. A couple of months ago I pinched a tire I had bought at Express tire going around a curve and it was losing air. I brought it in to have it fixed. They found it had been damaged and was under warranty from the manufacturer so put on a new tire at no cost. As I said, great service.

When dealing with my car, I only deal with people that I trust... As a sales director, I drive throughout New England & put a lot of wear on my tires. After I found Darren & Lisa at Express Tire & Auto, I haven’t been anywhere else. Fast turnaround times, welcoming service & extremely fair pricing is why this review exist. They even have rental cars if need be...It’s a local, family business that’s been supporting their community for over 20 years!5+ Stars for Express Tire & Auto Service!

Brought my 2017 Honda Civic to this shop for a low tire pressure warning - they took a look and had a suspicion that my warning symbol just needed a reset after the tires were filled up. Lisa, the blonde woman at the front desk led the whole process and was very professional and accommodating. She made the shops environment calm and easy, something elusive to that type of store. I will definitely be recommending Express Tire & Auto. Thanks again!

I recently had a car issue that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible due to a safety concern. I pulled into Express Tire and asked if I could have my car looked at and “fixed” in thirty minutes because I work at a major Boston hospital and needed to be at work on time. Darren C looked at me and said “sure no problem “ I said “no, I need to be at work in thirty minutes”. Darren said “no problem”.The New England Patriots May think they have the GOAT..... well they don’t. Express Tire has the true GOAT - Greatest Of AutoTechnicians in all of New England.Darren and his team are wonderful. They actually ended up taking care of both of my cars that day. They are true professionals and truly care about the safety of their customers and the work that they do. You can hear the passion in their voice as they talk about each vehicle. So grateful to have run into Darren and his team last week. Thank you for your skills and professionalism. S Morash
