Kahn & Keville

I have used K&K twice now, once for new tires, once to repair a tire. Both times K&K walked me through my options, i. e, what types of tires would be best for my particular situation, and whether I wanted to repair or replace my busted tire. They were patient, friendly, and fast, and much more affordable than other options I considered. Next time we have a tire issue, we are coming here.

I came through this morning for a tire repair and someone approached me right away. While the tire was being fixed, someone came by to make sure the remaining tires were adequately filled. The entire process took about 20 minutes and cost $ 30. Hopefully I won’t need their services anytime soon, but if I do, I would definitely return!

We drove in without an appointment and were next in line for a tire change. Normal wear and tear had our tires ready for disaster. Luckily Ron was at the desk to save us! Ron’s friendly personality and 40+ years of knowledge had us feeling comfortable and trusting of his recommendations. After less than an hour, our tires were brand new and ready for a trip out of town. I’m thankful to know of a tire company that I can recommend to my friends and family. But even more thankful for Rons ‘s friendly service and Guillermo’s quick work!
Btw, they have used tires if you need, however, their rate for new tires is not much more.

Really the only true tire company in the city other than Paul’s tires. The gentleman at place is honest and treats you with respect where many other tire places will try and swindle you into buying a subpar tire at a large expense. Overall just a very positive experience.

My Goodyear tire blew off on highway so I went in there to see if they’ll provide a replacement as it is still within warranty. A senior gentleman came out and said you probably had a nail in the tire and the tire deflated. That’s how your tire flew off. I said that’s not the truth which he was seeking and there was no road hazard. He said there is nothing he could do at his place. I said Goodyear directed me to his establishment. He said his business is called Khan and Kevile. It’s a waste of time and he was very judgmental. I bought the tires on the Internet. Perhaps if you bought the tires there, the treatment might have been different?

Excellent service for completing my repair. I had a nail in my tire tread. They were quick, professional and inexpensive. Will definitely return if I need another repair. Hopefully that won’t be the case anytime soon!

Hate to do this but … My last experience has steered me clear of this place for good. I bought some tires here with 80k miles on my car. They sold me some «American made» tires (should have bought the Pirelli’s). Then I ended up buying the silver service protection. When it came time to have one of the tires replaced after hitting a pothole about 6 months later he quoted some percentage of wear and tear and replaced it for more than I should have been paying for a tire that had only been 6 months old. What good is the silver service protection?! It gets better — so after that I got a puncture in one of my tires and I went in and had them fix it. I told him (I’m pretty sure it was the owner because he has always been there) that I had the silver service protection and asked if i needed to show it to him. He said no and proceeded to charge me for the repair of the tire (about 30 dollars).
Later when I got home I discovered the cost of tire repair was covered as listed on the silver service protection. At that point I did not want to do business with them and never went back to dispute the charge. Now, 110k miles on the car I have a another slow leak in one of the tires with only 30k miles on the tires. I went to have my brakes done at another place (I had had my last brake repair here) and they told me that my tires were at the point where they needed replacing and I tend to agree based upon the amount of tire wear. After only 30k of use my tires need replacing and I paid about the same price as the Pirelli’s would have cost (I was sold on the «American made» for the other tires).
Note to others: Do not get the SILVER SERVICE PROTECTION. And possibly shop elsewhere for a better deal. Sorry Kahn and Keville but let this be a lesson to you that Unilocal is very useful for finding out what is going on at an establishment. Rethink your practices.

So fast and really came through in a jam. Called and had an appointment in less than an hour. They saw me right away to fix my tire (stupid nail). They even noticed a tail light was out and changed that too. In and out in 30 minutes and much cheaper than the dealership would have been. The only downside of it not taking longer is that I didn’t have time to walk over to Brenda’s Soul Food for a beignet!

I drive by all the time but didn’t think to use their services until I saw a good review on Unilocal.My problem was a slow tire leak. K&K fixed the tire in just two hours (even though I just dropped in without an appointment) and they charged me just thirty bucks! That’s about the cost of parking downtown! I could not be more pleased. People who work in Civic Center are really lucky to have such a great repair shop within walking distance. For people like me who work further away, it’s definitely worth the walk from the Civic Center BART or from the Van Ness Muni Metro.

Fantastic! Repaired tires quickly and cost effectively! Didn’t try to sell me new tires.

$ 194 for a 245 50R20. Great price after calling several places. $ 209 after taxes. It was hard finding a tire place around that could offer same day service and fortunately, they had the size I needed in stock.
I would give it 4 stars but the waiting area offered no h20 and the gentleman failed to acknowledge me for several minutes (no smile) I was standing there for over 10 minutes and still no greeting. He did point out after 15 minutes that I called twice. The service was fast. Not sure if I’d go there again.

Fast, helpful, extremely candid about my situation. Ron and the gang here saved me time and money.

Kchplunkpfff beep beep beep. That was the sound my car was doing while driving down the 101, right after having my tire «repaired» for $ 30 at this place. So obviously someone didn’t do a proper job. I ended up getting the tire replaced at the dealer.
It’s sad though, because these guys have always been very friendly and I really liked this place. I guess I can’t trust them anymore.

On this particular day, I had a small window of time to get a tire fixed. Slow leaks suck but can’t complain! A flat tire is obvi way worse!
As busy as they were, I briefly explained my lack of time and they graciously took care of me right away. I was in and out in about 30 minutes and only $ 30 buckaroos to get me back in motion for my commute home!
Thanks Kahn & Kelville :)

Came at the very end of the work day and they still took care of me. They were polite and honest. Thought I’d need to spend money on a replacement tire, instead they offered to patch it. Kahn & Keville just made a new client!

The mechanic Bashir is the best mechanic i have ever met. he knows more about fixing cars than you can imagine. He has worked on my cars over the years several times. Even though it is so out of the way for me now i still go to him for all of my major work.

Person I spoke to was rude. Was asking a question and I guess I was not quick enough for him. He cut me off and asked «what do you need!!!» when I asked to speak to the manager he said I am the manager, when I asked to speak to the owner he said he was the owner… what is this a dave chappelle skit??? Then he told me to come down here??? So the owner/​manager is threatening me??? I would rather crash my car with a bald tire than give this guy a dollar of my money.
Overall, if your looking to be talked to like a pice of street trash then this is the place for you. If not do not bother even calling.

Disclaimer: not reviewing actual work on tires, only dissatisfied with business practice.
After a few minutes riding my motorcycle and a few turns taken, I realized that my tires were dangerously in need of air. Thank God I’m passing by a tire place; surely they will let me put a little air in my small tires.
Nope.
The employee was rather nice about it and seemed genuinely sorry, but he told me that «they» do not let him do it anymore (I’m guessing «they» are the owner/​manager).
They used to do it, but «they» don’t want to.
I understand that they might not want to give air for free to any car stopping by, but the difference is that motorcycles have only 2 tires and when you have a tiny issue with only 1 tire, the consequences can be terrible. I’m thinking they could make an exception once in a while; I would have even paid a buck or 2 for it.
It took me a while to find a gas station after that. Not cool, Kahn & Keville, not cool.

I can’t really justify giving them less than 3 stars because they did a good job with my tires but their customer service left a bad taste in my mouth.
I asked John to make sure the door is locked when he walked away from my vehicle, leaving the door open. «This neighborhood isn’t that safe,» I reminded him.
When I came back to pick up the car, it was parked next to the sidewalk WITH THE WINDOW DOWN.
When I mentioned this to their cashier, she looked like she was coming down with the Ebola virus and mentioned she might have food poisoning. «Maybe you should go home,» I said and she replied «I was thinking I probably should.»
You guys need to tighten things up a little. I don’t appreciate my things being so carelessly treated, and I don’t appreciate the attitude when I let you know I am disappointed.

Discovered K&K after a friend had a flat tire and received a good deal on a used tire without any fuss. Replacing all of my tires was long overdue and I couldn’t put it off any longer with one tire in particular needing some attention. My car’s in great condition but now that it’s hit 90k miles, it seems like all expensive maintenance repairs have been piling on.
To replace all 4 with new tires would’ve cost $ 600-​$ 800. I asked whether they may have any used options. I waited about 10 minutes for one of the guys to check inventory upstairs. I figured the difference in price couldn’t be that great to risk getting used. I got lucky and they found a full set of V-​rated tires that came out to $ 200. Score! They were in good condition so they should last me another 10k miles. This should buy me some time to save for a new set. All tires’ prices include balancing, mounting, and all the other good basic stuff. I’m saving the 5^th star until I drive on the used tires for a while.
I got to K&K early hoping I’d be able to get the tires replaced before work. I had to leave the car but they called me less than 2 hours later when it was done. As much as I claim to not like Saigon Sandwiches, I couldn’t help but run across the street and pick up a few when I saw there was no line.
