    Blyss L.

    Took a week to get me these bs codes and charged me $250 for a "diagnostic" and couldn't even tell me what was wrong. Ronnie said he called out a specialist but I'm doubting it because when I took it to another mechanic they gave me actual codes and a description of cost to repair in less than 24hrs. When I read the comments for Yelp reviews it appears this isn't the first time they've done this. Bad business. I called and explained my situation/car make/model and asked if it was a project they'd be willing to take on before I even showed up. Waste of time and costly to be without a car for a week I just to receive that kind of disrespect.

    But Ronnie remains as office manager and the shop mechanics are as good as they were under Tom.

    Went there yesterday with a damaged tire which, not surprisingly, could not be fixed. While I was…read morewaiting in the spacious waiting area, I checked Consumer Reports, chose a set of Michelins, checked the price at Costco. Tires Direct matched the Costco price within a few dollars, gave me a discount for cash and ordered the tires. Exactly as promised they called today to confirm they received the tires and they could install at 1 pm. The install and alignment took about two hours (as opposed to all day at Costco). They offer free repair of road damage in the tread and free rotation. I feel very lucky to have them nearby and I will likely use them for other work on my car. They are such nice guys too.

However, they didn't do the job correctly and wouldn't take responsibility for it. I know they didn't do it correctly because when Tires Direct balanced the tires it did not resolve the mild steering wheel vibration I was experiencing at speeds over 60 mph. When I took it to another shop (after Tires Direct supposedly balanced the tires), they reported that the RF wheel had an irregular weight pattern and was .75 oz out of balance and the LF wheel had no weights at all and was 2.75 oz out of balance (which is significant). The other shop balanced them with road force balancing and that solved the vibration issue. When I called Tires Direct to let them know about my experience, they became defensive and told me that the balancing numbers at every shop will be different and they did nothing wrong. Perhaps the numbers can vary, but the point was that whatever balancing they did, didn't actually fix the issue - so I wasted my money by going to them.

Waking up the next morning, I needed to get it fixed ASAP! I had the Toyota tire & wheel protection and Berkeley Toyota directed me to Joe's tires as they run all tire related issues through them. Called at 8am and spoke to Carlos who went through the usual asking me if I have the plan, my car's trim, and what I'm looking for. I explained everything and Carlos provided times. I couldn't wait for tomorrow so I asked about any availability day of to which he had. I drove over, dropped off the car at 11am, spoke with Carlos who shared the process clearly and what will be done. I signed papers and went on my way. He couldn't share how long it'll take due to the Toyota financing paperwork. I get a text around 3pm saying my car is ready and I show up, pick up my car, and chat a little bit about what was done. Amazing service. They put the spare tire and jack back under the car and replaced the tire, adjusted the monitors, and polished up the wheel. Day of service, clear communication, and great patience. I ended up not paying anything due to my plan covering anything and Carlos making sure I was taken care of. Great business and highly recommend.

    Donny, your ego does not change the facts…read more When I called to let you know that my brakes were making a loud banging/scraping sound every time I braked, I was calm, respectful, and simply letting you know something was wrong after paying your shop to do my brakes and rotors. I was not yelling, cursing, or being disrespectful. Instead of handling it professionally, you personally cursed me out, called me a liar, told me I was no longer welcome there, and laughed while saying that if my brakes had been installed wrong, "I'd be dead." That is not funny. It is not reassuring. It is completely unacceptable from any business owner, especially when someone is calling about a serious safety issue. I then went to another professional brake shop for a second opinion, and they confirmed that the left rear caliper was missing a bracket bolt, and the bottom bolt was hand-tight/loose, which was causing the banging/popping sound when braking. So yes, there was a real issue, and I was absolutely right to call. I had been coming to this shop for three years with no issues, spending my money here and trusting you with my vehicle. That is what makes this even worse. The moment your shop made a dangerous mistake, instead of taking accountability, you chose arrogance, hostility, and intimidation. Honestly, I should have taken legal action. When a customer calls to report a serious brake issue after your shop performed the work, the response should never be insults, laughter, and banning them from the business. I called because something was wrong, not because I wanted an argument. It may be cheap. It may be convenient. But if something goes wrong and you speak up, be prepared for the owner to protect his ego instead of protecting his customers. You do not ever have to worry about getting my money again. I will never return, and I strongly caution anyone against trusting this shop with brake work or anything safety-related.
