Vander Hamm Tire Center - Davis (CA)

5 /5 Arian Bn: I can’t recommend Vander Hamm Tire Center highly enough! Over the years, they’ve proven to be an honest, reliable, and downright caring team—qualities that are rare in auto shops today. I’ve visited multiple times for tire patching, and on several occasions, they’ve done small repairs or helped me with things free of charge. They consistently offer honest advice—even stepping in to tell me when I didn’t actually need a new tire—saving me money and stress. Just recently, I found a tear in one of my tires and had to tow my car to their shop. Based on my past experiences, I knew I was in good hands. The owner personally gave me a ride home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Two hours later, my car was done, the price was far more reasonable than expected, and the quality of work was impeccable. It’s clear they genuinely care about their customers. This shop is a shining example in Davis of integrity, top-notch service, and fair pricing. If you need tire work—or anything automotive—trust me, Vander Hamm Tire Center is the place to go!

5 /5 Logan Kingsland: I took my 05 Nissan Xterra to Vanderhamm because there was a grinding noise coming from the front end whenever I took sharp corners. The mechanic, Collin, noticed my front hubs had some play and had damaged my rotors. We replaced both, but the grinding noise did not disappear, so I took it back, and Collin realized it was actually just the traction control motor kicking in. My shocks were so worn out (190k miles) that when taking sharp turns, the wheels couldnt track properly and they would trigger the TC. I expressed to Danny, the manager, that I felt kinda sour about spending all that money without fixing the issue. He comped the whole invoice—parts and labor. There was no hassle, no arguing, they just printed me a check and sent me on my way. A case could be made that I needed those hubs and rotors anyways, but Danny didn’t split hairs, he just made sure we could both feel good about the transaction, and I really respect the way he handled the situation. Collin also drives an Xterra, and he let me pick his brain about specific repairs/upgrades I might want to make in the future. Blaine at the front desk was super friendly and helpful throughout this whole process, and while I was in the shop, I got to see him treat other customers the same way. He was jovial, respectful, and knowledgeable. My experience with Vanderhamm throughout this process has been so good I decided to replace some other worn-out front-end parts and get new tires there as well. My Xterra drives whisper quiet and buttery smooth now! Moving forward, I will be going there for rotations and maintenance and I cannot recommend them enough!

1 /5 Heather O: Sexist. When calling for a quote and explaing the various issues I suspected, I was asked "Did another shop tell you that, or a neighbor??" After a second of wondering "Did he really ask that?" My reply was "No, Im an intelligent woman." MY father started teaching me auto mechanics when I was 3. I dont have time to sweat under my car with wrenches in my driveway these days. But that doesnt mean Im ignorant. And neither does the fact that Im a woman. Ill be taking my $2,500 job elsewhere.

5 /5 Kaylie: I was ready to buy a whole new set of tires if I had to, but the gentlemen here did not take advantage of my naïveté. They told me honestly how much life my tires had left and fixed my leak for cheap. Hard to imagine going anywhere else for tires!

5 /5 Jessica Coppola: We use Vanderham Tires of Davis for all of our vehicles, including our travel trailer, and our boat! They are always professional, courteous, and do a fantastic job!
