They had the tires we needed for about the price in our budget. Very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They sold us what we needed and we are thankful for being treated as a valued customer. We dropped off our car early, they called us shortly after done. They finished so fast. I will definitely go back and will give them my business for other services.

The crew was fast and thorough. I noticed a problem at home and needed a tire fast, was able to call and make an appointment same day. They got me taken care of and back on the road in no time. I appreciate the expedience and the great price I got! Much mahalo!

2nd time purchasing tires here. Also they fixed a tire that had a nail in it a few years ago that Lex Brodie said was not fixable. Friendly people and best deals in town. When I arrived today they didn’t have the tires I had been quoted in stock and the owner gave me a more expensive set for the quoted price. I don’t know why the one star reviews because these guys bring the aloha. I’ll always buy my tires here!

This place is busy busy busy! But boy oh boy do they ever get people through there and get them on their way. They're very swift, professional, and thorough. They are a hidden gem in the community and they're disguised as only a tire center. But they do a whole lot more than just tires there. If you are in need of reasonable, first-rate, professional, and quick service, then by all means, go to K&J Tire Center!

I whole heartedly recommend K & J! I was concerned that the repair would take several days because I had two tires from two different cars - one to replace and one to repair (plus, one was Tesla, which many repair shops don't carry). Within a day of calling Ron arranged a service call and now both tires are good as new! Thanks so much Ron & K&J!
