Our story

About Independent Tires

Independent Tires is a Santa Cruz tire shop built around straight talk and fast turnaround. Owner Frank and his crew work on tires and only tires, so every set they mount, balance, and repair gets their full attention.

Customers come back because the work is quick without cutting corners. A tire change often takes less than thirty minutes, and if something else needs a quick fix along the way, the crew will take care of it.

We price tires fairly and explain what your car actually needs, nothing more.

  • Owner-led, hands-on service
  • Same-day tire changes
  • Fair, transparent pricing
  • Trusted across Santa Cruz

What customers say

“I went in and asked them to check the balance on one of my front tires. As they were doing that he said why don't I take a look at the other front tire? It turns out that tire was thread bare and dangerously damaged. You're going to get professional and competent work done here.”

Keith Criswell

“Frank was unbelievably helpful and quick! I called him in the morning and was able to come in immediately and he was done changing my two tires in less than 30 mins. He also went the super extra mile of fixing a non tire related issue after he was done just to help me! The tires themselves are great and inexpensive!”

Anastasie Lenoir

“Steven really took good care of us and was very friendly. I trust them and believe that they are doing the best work they can on my car. Highly recommend them to anybody that wants a great deal and some great quality tires. The owner, Frank, cares about his clients and it is very clear!”
