They had the exact tire and size that I needed for my truck. They quickly mounted and balanced the set and had me on my way. So very glad I found them and I have been telling my friends about them as well

Carl and his team installed a new set of tires on my Tesla Model 3 that I ordered from TireRack. They took care to be sure to use the proper jack points and were able to get the work done quickly and completely. I will use their services again in the future.

I was headed to work and I noticed my tire was getting low. A fast leak at that. I looked up a spot nearest me and AutoTread was open an helped me out right away. I wasnt familiar with the area and wasnt sure if there was anywhere to get my tire repaired, but Im thankful I had found them.

Very friendly, fast an excellent service. We were on our way out of town and had a flat tire. We had a 10 hour drive ahead of us. This was the 5th tire repair store we visited and all except this one had a minimum wait time of 2 hours. Auto Tread was a God send. The gentleman immediately fixed our tire and made sure we would have no issues on our long drive. We were so happy and thankful!

Had a flat, slapped the spare on and drove the 10 or so blocks. About 10 minutes and $10 later I was out the door. Great, friendly, professional service at a great price. If you need a quick repair in the downtown/ south side area, this is it. I will certainly consider them next time I need new tires

Called for some help because everywhere I go has told me they don’t have my tire and I’ve only had my new car for a month so I needed help and I’ve heard great things about this placeThe woman on the phone asked me my tire size and I answered that I wasn’t quite sure and before anything else could come out of my mouth she let out the loudest and rudest sigh as if to say,” great another idiot who I don’t feel like helping because they can’t answer a simple question” before asking the year make and model.Just hung up, didn’t mean to irritate her so much with asking for help.

Carl and the team do a great job! I recently purchased tires from them and had a wonderful experience. Customer service was fantastic. In fact, I had a flat this morning on the way to work. I was only a couple minutes from their shop so I went straight there. They had me patched up and on the way to work in no time. I would recommend them to anyone.

These people are amazing; real quality customer service. Anytime I need help with wheel/tire stuff – which is bound to happen I’ve learned getting around on Birmingham’s roads– I come here, and am always met with honest pricing. I’m a full-time college student and work full-time as well and they have been a big help multiple times on my budget.

Ive been to many tire places and this is by far the best, especially as a college student. So helpful and quick. Ill definitely be back for all my tire needs. Highly recommend that you go there if you need anything to do with tires. As a college kid Carl helped me out and didnt take advantage of my lack of knowledge. He fixed my tire and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Go see him. You WONT regret it!!!!

Review №33

This is the best tire shop that I have ever been too. I took my car to get a knocking sound in a wheel checked out. Carl looked at it within an hour of me calling late on Saturday and found a flat spot in a tire. I ordered two new tires and returned to have him install them. The job took about 25 minutes total. Carl didnt try to sell me anything, was extremely professional, courteous, and friendly. I wouldnt hesitate to come back here! Highly recommended.

These guys have a 5 star rating for a reason! They are incredibly nice and offer better prices than any of the big brand tire shops in town. Carl was even nice enough to drop me off at school (saved me a 30 minute walk). Their work is very good as well. These guys are the best in Birmingham!

Review №35

Carl has installed tires on two of my vehicles over the past few years. Now that my daughter needs a complete set of tires mounted, balanced and an alignment, I did not bother to check with any other dealer. I previously did a lot of research before selecting AutoTread. Carls service, work ethic, professionalism and pricing are simply outstanding. There is no need for me or anyone else to look further!

Review №36

Great business! Great people! Loved the interaction with Carl and LaToya. They were genuine, and this is a great, personal, family owned and operated Birmingham Business.Support the local folks, and do yourselves a favor and ask Carl to help ya the next time you have auto needs instead of giving your biz to the national chains.

Carl just finished putting four new tires on my vehicle—at my house. I didnt even know this was a thing, but man, what a great idea. He arrived when he said he would, was super cordial and professional, and did a phenomenal job taking care of my wheels while he did his work. He was in and out in less than an hour and I was back on the road and very happy. Ill be spreading the word about Auto Tread to everybody who will listen. Thanks, Carl.

Review №44

Ive used almost every tire shop in town, and Carls is hands-down the best. Great service, honest, affordable, and most importantly - they are pros and know tires, wheels and performance cars. You wont have to worry about scratches on your wheels, over tightened (or worse, hand tightened!) lugs. Carls has rebranded as Auto Tread, but they are the same good guys. Support local and check them out.

Review №46

Carls Tire Service was exactly what I needed in my time of need. I woke up to a flat tire and no one to help me to get it fixed on a Saturday. I went online to find a mobile tire service and contacted both to get a quote. Carl contacted me promptly while the other didnt even contact me. Carl sent someone out within the hour. Kevin, who worked on my tire, was friendly, courteous and respectful of my timeline. I appreciated that he talked me through the process even showing me where the hole was prior to fixing it. I highly recommend Carls Tire Service and will definitely use their services again.

Review №52

Super inconvenient morning due to a flat tire! I was able to get to the shop and I kept getting calls from work; needless to say, I was stressed. Thankfully, AutoTread was nice enough to open a bit earlier than usual and provided super fast service for me.They plugged my tire, checked my air pressure, and pulled my car back out in about about 7 minutes.I did some research before driving there and saw great reviews, but I didnt really know what to expect and I am also new to Birmingham. I know I didnt expect for them to take care of my car before they actually opened and I didnt expect such genuent customer service. I just really appreciated their help and making my concerns also theirs. The speedy service had me on my way to work in no time so that was a great bonus as well.I am definitely going to be a returning customer. #respect

Review №55

Aside from being open at 7:00AM, this is probably the best experience Ive ever had with a maintenance shop.Carls Tire (now AutoTread) is a one-man show, but he probably provides service better than any other tire service in the area. When I asked if he had my tire size in stock, he said no. However, he was quick to add that he would look around for me. On top of that, he offered to come get me had I been stranded.The service was completed quickly and at a reasonable price. Hes also customer service oriented. It was raining when I returned to shop. When I walked up, he reiterated the he would have been glad to lock up to give me a ride.As long as Im in the Birmingham area, its unlikely that Ill go to any other place than Carls for tire service. Hes the man that other businesses should strive to imitate.

Had a great experience here. Tire kept leaking air, took it to Express and they gave me the run around. Had me thinking I needed a full set of tires for $1k. Kevin was able to check it out and within 15 minutes he had me back on the road. Charged me $10. Amazing service. Great job guys!

Phenomenal service! A tire on my wifes car had a leak for about 8 months, and after bringing it to another local tire service shop twice and nothing being done about it, Tire Tread was able to find and fix the problem and save the tire. They also fit us in with no appointment and were incredibly fast with their service, not to mention we had the best customer service! I would highly recommend this shop to anyone!

I will definitely be back when me and my husband need tires!! They have the best prices. I had an appointment on Wednesday to get new tires and I called Carl Tuesday morning to see if he could get me in that day because I desperately needed the tires and he was able to get me in that day. He even offered to come pick up my car from work which was only a few blocks away and to drop it off. It literally took them 30 minutes to to replace my tires with new ones. They dont play around! Best service Ive encountered when it comes car care. Thanks Carl!

Review №65

Carl is such a great guy. I had something wrong with one of my tires, and he took the time to physically show me the problem instead of just telling me. I am a broke college kid, and he cut me a great deal. I will definitely go back to Carl if I ever have tire issues again.

Review №66

Drove by today to get the tread on my tires checked before hitting the road for a long trip. Carl checked the wear and alignment and let me know that the front tires were out of alignment and the rear tires needed replacing before the trip (~70k miles on them). He didnt have a matching pair (Douglas brand) for the rear so he gave me his honest opinion, which meant getting the job done somewhere else. I got him to fix the alignment since I was already there and he did - on the house! Im almost looking forward to having my tires wear out so I can go back. Carl knows how to take care of people!

UPDATE 2.26.19: Due to a mishap on the 20/59 I needed new tires. As promised, I revisited Carl Colvin @Auto Tread. We went over the best options for my 2012 Highlander. I purchased two new tires with road hazard, rotate and balance and the price and service was superb. Latoya that answers the phone was most helpful. Its a family run business and I will be sending my friends, co-workers and anybody that asks to Mr. Colvin. As far as Im concerned Auto Tread is a best kept secret that I want to share with everybody. Keep up the good work.1.30.2019: So I got a nail in my tire and I went to Good Year to put some air in it. They told me they didn’t plug tires but sent me to Auto Tread. I went in and the nicest guy told me it would take 5 min and to plug it would be $10. It was a super cold day.He allowed me to wait inside and in 5 min he came and got me. He wanted me to pull the car up so he could put air in the tire. I truly believe if I hadn’t gave him the $10 he wouldn’t have let me pay him. I then asked him if I needed tires . He told me no I was all good. I told him when I get ready to get tires I was coming to him. Auto Tread is tucked off and it’s in a tiny white building. I’m all about small owed businesses. Please give them a try. He said the been there for 6 years.

Review №84

After traveling to Birmingham from Tupelo, MS, my husband and I were staying at a hotel downtown for the weekend of his CrossFit competition. We walked out to our car Saturday morning to drive to the event location, only to find we had a flat tire! After talking to a couple other companies without any luck, Carl came through for us. He stopped what he was doing and drove to our hotel to look at the tire to decide if he could fix it or if he would have to get us a replacement. He kept in touch with us throughout the whole ordeal, keeping us updated on the situation. The amazing part was, he did all this work without us having to leave our competition to meet him! He was courteous over the phone, did an awesome job on the tire, and saved us so much trouble that weekend! Carl not only knows what hes doing when it comes to fixing flat tires, but he knows how to take care of his customers! I dont know what we would have done without you Carl! Thanks for getting us back on the road!

Review №89

I cant recommend Carl and AutoTread highly enough. My wifes car had a slow leak and I brought it by Carls shop late on a Friday afternoon. Carl wasnt able to provide a full tire repair due to a shortage of sealant, but he put in a plug and, due to the fact that a normal repair would have included the sealant, didnt charge me a dime! He wouldnt accept payment and said that if I came back later he would internally reseal the tire for free as well. The best part was that this whole process took 20 minutes. Carl also offered to drive me back to work and pick me up later if I was in a time crunch. All in all, Carl really went out of his way to make sure that our car was repaired and in safe condition. I cant recommend Carl and AutoTread highly enough. Five stars.

Carl, is honestly one of the best tire service providers I have ever used. Ive been tuning cars since I was 16 and have visited my fair share of tire shops. GoodYear, FireStone, NTB, Walmart, Express Oil, to name a few and I have NEVER experienced service like I experienced with AutoTread. Carl is an Honest and trustworthy individual. He offers great prices and his mobile truck service is one of a kind. He came to my work and in under an hour, removed my old tires, mounted and balanced the new tires, reinstalled them on my car and disposed of the old tires. He even uses a torque wrench on the lug nuts to insure the proper tightness. Attention to detail. I couldnt ask for more. A+
