    After riving around for ten minutes, the tire pressures were still dangerously low, so maybe I only got $3 worth of nitrogen at each corner.
    Douglas B.

    Ooof. I used to love this location. I've come here for years and never had a bring back. Until now. Something changed here recently; faces are different and I was harangued by some dude behind the counter about vaccines, not what I was there for. Be my guest, enjoy having sick children, weirdo - I'm here for tires. Yesterday I called this location asking for a specific model and size of Falken tire; I got an assurance that the tires would be there when I arrived today. And some tires were there - just not the right tire or load range for my vehicle. Yesterday I asked for and was promised the Falken AT3w. Today I was told I would get the AT3w "HD", but there isn't such a tire. They ordered a different tire with load range E (one ton trucks and heavier) by mistake, leaving me no real alternative the day before my trip begins. I told them I'd be traveling when I called yesterday - so I had to take these, and they're not great on the Grade. The HD tire is definitely not what I wanted. Flag #1. Flag 2. I didn't ask for a nitrogen fill, and it is not necessary or appropriate for a tire with this amount of volume in western Nevada. The air we breathe every day is 85% nitrogen and there is very little humidity around here; if someone had bothered to ask, I would've rejected nitrogen fill, but by the time I was presented with the bill, guess what ? We were up against all the time I had budgeted, and I had to go. this pushed my bill up considerably, it's 100% profit, and I didn't ask for it, I know enough to know that I don't need it for this application. Flag number three. This one is pretty clever, and it is how they work around their price guarantee. I ended up paying more than I should have per tire due to them ordering the wrong tire, and I'm not afraid to say that the dismissive comments from the person in charge when I asked about the bill were not encouraging. Flag number 4 is the actual dangerous one. All four tires were underfilled, regardless of whether you looked at the sidewalk or the placard inside the drivers door. Sending your customer away in a car, throwing low pressure alerts is a clownish thing to do. It's also incredibly dangerous and sets up a shop for massive liability, especially when they just sold you $4 per corner nitrogen fill. Flag 5 is the fact that they didn't even look at the spare. Despite the fact the truck was aligned with them less than five months ago, they recommended another $175 alignment as well. I regularly participate in track events and have lots of off-road fun. I know what I'm looking for and talking about when it comes to tires, and unfortunately, this store isn't it anymore. I'll take my business elsewhere when I have track tires to mount or tires to buy for my trailer, or tires to buy for any of my four vehicles. You're really don't get another shot with me after days like today.

    Been here a couple times, and so far each of my visits have been good. The staff is always kind, and does acknowledge my arrival and that they will be right with me to help. I've bought my tires at the NW location, but came here for my tire rotation. A day later my tire pressure sensor came on, so I returned to the store to get it checked out. The staff was kind, helpful and pleasant despite it being quite busy. They checked my tires and indicated the sensor needed to be replace. I questioned this since the tires were less than a year old. They offered me pricing on replacing the sensor, but did mention that it would have no affect on my safety, just that I would not be able to see the pressure on my dash. So I let it go for a couple weeks. Came back to have it replaced, since it was bothering me to see the blank display. For whatever reason, when they took a look and another check, it was working again. Not sure, but the explanation was sometimes it just needs a bit of time to reset ? In any case, I was happy to have my sensor working and the pressure displaying on my dash. I was not charged for anything. Since I do have tires from them, I will continue to go back for my rotations as it is free.

    My Lexus LX, with my winter wheels and tires, all perfectly mounted and balanced by this Big O.

    After the great work that they did on my Lexus a few weeks ago, I returned to this big O this morning for a quick rebalance of the tires on my M3. Once again, the work was done right and was done quickly. I asked them to put the car on the alignment rack to double check, and a couple of measurements were out so they adjusted things back into specifications. It only took a couple of miles on I 580 to confirm that they are the best in this part of town.

    Comprehensive inspection
    Johnny B.

    My experience here was so awful it's hard to find somewhere to start. I brought my car in for an alignment as it was pulling to the right and has been since I purchased it. When checking in, I was asked if there were any issues and that was what I told them. A little over an hour goes by and it's done. I was advised by a different tech that since it was pulling "under acceleration" they wanted an additional half hour to diagnose/troubleshoot possible bad engine mounts. I did NOT say it pulled "under acceleration", but it did give the alignment tech an excuse to take my car out for a hot lap as I could hear them driving it aggressively. I declined the additional half hour as I know my way around my car very well. I am very disappointed that my car still pulls to the right, whether under accel, decel or just cruising. Irritating to say the least. Now to the really gritty part! They do a complimentary 'comprehensive' inspection, according to the receipt I was provided. They check a large list of items (as pictured on the yellow receipt) but to note, TPMS light, tire wear, steering/suspension, leaks, shocks/struts, fluids, lights, brakes, etc. It's hard to say what they actually checked! Half of the page wasn't filled out, so we'll definitely assume they randomly chose to skip those items. TMPS light is noted as being "off", but I assure you it is "on" as two of the tires are missing sensors. They checked that the tires were all in the "green" range and with no alignment wear, however I posted pictures of the two rear tires which clearly have a lot of inside toe or camber wear, nearly to the point of needing replaced. Shocks, they checked out "green" but both rear shocks clearly have oil seeping down them. Suspension, "green" as well but look at those cracks in the two suspension bushings I posted. I am aware of an obvious axle seal leak but that wasn't mentioned in the report and leaking is listed "green". I couldn't get a good picture of the engine mounts, but they did not have any cracks in them like the bushings I pictured so I believe that part of their request to be unnecessary. I definitely won't ever come back here, I wouldn't even take it back to have them correct the pulling as they clearly can't be trusted. What a complete waste of money and an embarrassment to the Big O franchise.

    Tires / Nitto display inside

    Excellent service today ! I went in this morning to get air in tire and come to find out have a nail . Said they could patch up but I needed to come back. Came back about 4:40pm and they were able to get me in before closing and get it patched up took about 20min or so. Since they close at 5pm they closed their system and didn't charge me which was unexpected Thank you. Very nice , quick , and efficient .

    Well I would trust them to put tires on my vehicle but they were going to charge me for something I did t need as I got a second opinion.
