Great service, Honest people, Free Rotations -- This place is terrific

I've gone to Glendale Tire for years now. It was recommended to me by Vik at Jack's Lube, my trusted mechanic. I'm always sketchy about trying new mechanics because of a myriad of dishonest experiences in the past. I can never tell if a new mechanic is being truthful or not--particularly the dealers, who almost always lie to you and tell you that your car needs more service than it actually does. Recently the Long Beach Chrysler mechanics told me that I needed an air filter change and an alignment. But when I took my car to Jack's Lube, they SHOWED me the air filter--it was fine. Then, I went to Glendale Tire to get that alignment (which, by the way is a lot cheaper at Glendale Tire than at the Chrysler dealer), but when Glendale Tire put the computers on my tires and checked the alignment, they said they alignment was fine--and didn't charge me for the test. That's what kind of place it is. They don't b.s. you. If you need a new tire, they tell you, if you don't, they tell you that too. I love places that are more interested in integrity than in trying to make the most money by ripping people off. I highly recommend you buy your tires at Glendale Tire--they have good prices, and they will rotate those tires for free when they need it. Great people doing great work.
