    Rusty H.

    I should have known better than bring in my car during the lunch hour. They were slammed, and it was a bit chaotic finding parking and then even finding someone to speak with. There is no front desk area to check in. There were several people standing around waiting... for...? Their cars to be fixed? Picking up their cars? Who knows. So, like a sheep I joined the masses and stood there, waiting for anyone to acknowledge me. Eventually I saw how the flow worked. There are two garage doors. One is for tires, the other is for repairs. Today, the tire shop had one service guy working, Arturo. So even though I'm a little crabby in this review, I have to say Arturo is a hard working guy. He must have helped at least seven different customers who'd randomly pull in asking for a tire to be replaced, asking for more air... juggling them all so that no one ever got too impatient. Those of us waiting pulled ourselves tightly against the building which offered a whisker of shade... and then Arturo brought me a folding chair. Nice. I purchased Lionhart tires, and they seem to be well reviewed online. The price is definitely right, less than half of what the other discount tire shops are asking. So, it comes to this. The lower price you pay at Al's Auto Center comes with a small cost... but I brought my patience and a hat, and it was worth it. I recommend not coming during the lunch hours. My tires are two hours new and so far so good. As I drive on them in the future, if there are any problems I will update this review.

I was told by the gentleman at the desk that there were a few appointments ahead of me so it would be a wait which was understandable for a walk in with no prior appointment. I was prepared to leave and come back to pick up my car but the manager came out and spoke to me a bit about why I was there that day and it seems a technician had finished their job ahead of time so they said a tire patch was quick and just handled my case immediately. I was out the door in 30 minutes, and the price hasn't changed in 3 years still $40 bucks for the tire patch. Where do you find service like this with an auto shop, and what business hasn't raised prices in 3 years? I saw a bakery increase cost on the same cake by $6 from April 2025 to Dec 2025, the price gouging is endemic. As I was waiting in the office I overheard another customer mention they were moving, and the employee told them to call from their new location if they had any questions about repairs or history on their car they might need when getting work done by another shop at the new location. That's not an attempt to sell any billable service, that's due diligence and beyond. Highly recommend this place for your auto services, its a clean and efficient operation and run by people who still care about their customers.

Honesty is not always found when dealing with mechanical issues. Easy to notice on the corner of Del Mar Boulevard and Allen Avenue. I think they care about my car as much as I do.

I've been to many mechanics around LA, many with 5 star ratings. All bad.

Mounting aggressive tires on fresh wheels always makes you a little nervous -- especially with a setup like this -- but they handled everything with care and precision. No scratches, clean weights, and the balance is smooth at highway speeds. The alignment is spot on. Truck tracks straight, steering wheel is perfectly centered, and it drives tight without any wander. With Kings on the truck, alignment matters, and they clearly know what they're doing. Professional, detail-oriented, and no shortcuts. If you're running a dialed Tacoma setup and want it done right the first time, this is the place. Will definitely be back.

My only concern was the wheel balancing for all 4 wheels and the 4 wheel alignment. The free wheel balancing was okay, but the ride was a but bit rough, especially at high speeds. The 4 wheel alignment was also okay because I saw the tech person pull it out of the stall and parked the car. He did not do a test drive. My Bimmer drove okay, but it didn't track. So I wasn't confident that the wheel alignment was properly done. I recently remedied the concerns by having the 4 wheels rebalanced and had a 4 wheel precision alignment done at another shop. Now my Bimmer tracks and rides really smooth... For tires purchase, this place is great.. But for tire services, from my experience, I would recommend to go somewhere else...
