20+yrs of trusted, quality service. I tell EVERYONE to go here.

My dad brought me to Hawthorne Tire with my first car, and at the time, it was the only review I needed. That was back in the ’90s. John Hawthorne, who I met then, as a mechanic, and is now the … More owner, consistently has the highest quality people working with him. They’re trustworthy and friendly. I can’t say good enough about these guys. I even tell my Uber drivers to remember their shop. Local, family business you’ll be proud to call your go-to. Tell them I said Hi! *extra bonus points if you bring them a fruit/veg plate, then tell them I sent you.. they’ll get it 😉 Less

Tire check

I had taken my car in to see if I had a nail. They didn’t find a nail. Instead they went above and beyond, and checked where the leak was coming from. Afterwards, John then contacted multiple … More other shops to see if they had a tire size that matched mine because I had to make my drive to Tucson and he negotiated the price for me! Would absolutely recommend, they know their stuff and have amazing customer service. Very sweet owner and employees!! Less
