Papa Red's Tire Shop

Needed help with my tire. They charged me twice as much as all the high end stores for just switching my front and back tire. Charged me 30 dollars and I only did it because they were the second people to tell me it was unsafe to drive on and I might not get home. My new tire was coming in the next day so I paid just to get home safe what a RIP off. They knew i was worried with my little ones in the back and they took advantage of that. I will never go back.

We've used Papa Reds shop for a few years now and for a while we liked them a lot, so they get at least two stars. Unfortunately our most recent couple of experiences with them have been disappointing to say the least so I don't feel I can give them a better rating. The most recent time being that I researched some new tires for my vehicle, a 2015 Ford Expedition, and found the tires I wanted, Michelin LTX AT2 275 70R18's. They were highly recommended as replacements for my vehicle for what we use it for. We tow a toy hauler multiple times a year along with some other towing, so we look for higher ply tires that will last us a long time. I purchased a set of these tires and swung by Reds to have them mounted. The first guy came out, inspected the tires and told me to go ahead and pull into one of their spots and they would get started. As I did so another guy came walking out and said something to the first. He walked back, looked at the tires and then proceeded, in a very rude tone, to tell me that they wouldn't put them on my truck because they were ten ply. I asked him why not and he tried to claim that it's because they are only for heavy duty trucks. I told him that's simply not true, you can buy these tires at any shop for my vehicle, its a half ton SUV, and the only issue would be that the ride would not be as cushy and smooth. He replied with basically "well I won't do it." So I said fine and that I would go to a different shop because I know for a fact I can put them on my vehicle and he rolled his eyes. So I went to the shop (San Tan Tire) that is on the corner across from them, where they were very happy to help me and do the job. This is the second time in the last few months that we have gotten a rude response from this same worker. The first time was when they messed up on how they mounted some quad tires and when my husband took them back to get them fixed, this same worker argued with him. The decline in good customer service here sucks because I love being able to use local businesses instead of bigger chains. So unfortunately for Reds we will probably take our business to San Tan Tires where all the workers I interacted with were very pleasant and knowledgeable.

I needed 4 new tires and a spare tire for my SUV. Mike was very helpful in what brand of tires to buy for my SUV and when I asked about me getting the tires online and Reds installing them, he had no problem with that, but he also mentioned that he could get the same brand for me through his supplier at no additional charge, and Reds even honors the warranty that the manufacturer gives on new tires which makes it easier down the road if there's ever any damage. Mike was also kind enough to mention to me that he had a used spare tire which had lots of tread left for a very low price rather than buy a new one just for a spare. The installers were great also, very efficient and knowledgeable. You just have a good feeling when working with Papa Reds that they're honest and upfront about everything. Down to earth good Patriots. I highly recommend Papa Reds for new tires and tire repair.

Papa Reds is a awesome old school locally owned tire place that gets the job done right! Wish I had known about this place sooner in Queen Creek. They were friendly, courteous and fast too, around 10-15min and I was in and out. Called ahead to see if they had my size of 225/65/17 in stock used for my Chevy Equinox . I just needed 1 used tire to get me through a few weeks til I fixed my struts. I had a really bad tire and didn’t want to risk a blow out. Heck this used one I bought from them is practically new at a amazing deal! I will be purchasing my set of new tires from this place for sure. Also fun to watch the whole process of tire changing live. Removal, installing new one on rim, balancing and checking for leaks. Cool to also watch some workers installing multiple large tires for a farm truck. They take cash and some checks I believe. Call them up or stop by, very easy to talk to and provided great customer service. These small businesses are the backbone of the community, make sure and support them!
