Honestly, I wasn't going to say anything because I'm not usually a confrontational person but after what happened, I feel a responsibility to warn others. This experience was not only disappointing, but also costly and frustrating, and the way it was handled was completely unacceptable. About 2.5-3 weeks ago, my tire exploded while I was on the freeway on my way to work. I was in a rush but still wanted to get to work safely, so I looked up the nearest tire shop. The first shop I visited didn't have the right size, but they kindly referred me to Big O Tires and even called ahead to confirm the tire size was in stock. When I arrived, everything seemed to go smoothly at first. I explained my situation and said I needed to replace one tire. A staff member named Byron took my info, did an inspection, and I very clearly informed him that my driver-side door had minor damage due to a previous break-in. I explained it still worked perfectly fine as long as you shut it firmly.I was asked to sign a packet of paperwork and pay upfront before the car was returned to me. mind you this was a $216 service just for 1 single tire. Once the car was ready I made the mistake of not inspecting it immediately after since I was in a rush to get to work. But once I got to work and exited my vehicle, I immediately noticed my driver-side door was completely misaligned and crooked. It will not properly shut nor will the locking system trigger that specific door to look nor unlock. I immediately called the shop and a worker named Alex answered, I explained the problem and he apologized to me informing me to come back and they would fix it for me. I told him the soonest I would be able to return would be the next day since I wouldn't be able to get there before closing. I took time out of my day to return. But when I arrived, Byron acted confused about why I was back. After I explained, he immediately got defensive and told me that since I signed paperwork, they weren't liable and that my only option was to take them to court. The two mechanics who worked on my car flat out denied causing the damage, even though it was very obvious the damage occurred during the service. The door was literally hanging off alignment and unusable. To his credit, one mechanic named Giovany even offered to help pay for the repair himself, I politely declined and told him I was so frustrated because I had spent the last of my money to cover this emergency expense just for it to turn into a financial burden and spend more money to have it fixed, on something that could have been avoided if they were careful about how they handled the vehicle. He gave me a referral to a friend and said he'd cover the cost which clearly indicates they knew they messed up. I appreciated his honesty, but the fact remains: the shop itself refuses to take responsibility. Alex even had the audacity to say they could fix it, giving out false information. Absolutely outrageous. Now I'm left with a damaged door, a hefty repair bill, and the inconvenience of crawling through my passenger side every time I drive. All because I trusted this business to simply replace a tire. I now have to spend $500 to have my driver side door repaired all because of a careless establishment. Big O Tires took my money, damaged my property, and then refused to make it right. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. If you value your time, money, and the safety of your vehicle go somewhere else.

Take your car somewhere else. there's much better service from big O tire at other locations. I had four tires replaced at San Ramon location. They broke the stud, lost center caps. They did not even inform me. When I noticed missing pieces, Ivan the owner didn't even admit their fault. This big O tire in San Ramon is dishonest, poor services. for your safety, have your car serviced at other places. Because they will not even tell you if they did something wrong.

Big O hours of operation.

See all

Honest, hardworking and efficient service, had a tire puncture patched, can't recommend them…read moreenough! On the night before a road trip, I discovered a tire in my car losing air, the culprit being a nail lodged in. Ace auto repair and tire was the only shop open at 7 in the morning, I walked in without an appointment at 7:30. They removed the nail, patched up the tire and completed the work in an hours time! When I asked them about payment for the service, they refused to charge me for the repair. While waiting in the shop for the repair, I witnessed a bunch of regulars bringing in their vehicles for different kinds of issues. The trust and comfort they had with this shop was something that has been built on with years of excellent service. I've been to other tire shops where I've been overcharged for similar situations because I needed help quickly.

I checked another business nearby who declined to assist due to the temporary patch. I called Ace Auto Repair & Tire and spoke to Danny who advised to visit right when the business opened as they do get busy. I also asked if there was a charge for a flat tire repair & he said no charge if it was fixable. I have a Subaru WRX with an AWD system which can get complicated if one tire is compromised. I visited on a Saturday morning & advised the front staff of my dilemma. I was so anxious thinking that I'd be potentially turned away, but they were courteous to take a look at the patch & I'm forever grateful to Armando for making the determination that my tire was still repairable, then completing the job in less than an hour! And true to word, I wasn't charged for the tire repair. My greatest appreciation to the staff at Ace! I was chilling on the couches nearby the front door - it's bright, spacious & clean inside. Two other customers followed after me - also overhearing their issues & constraints - I could tell from those interactions with the front staff & the communication with the technicians in the back that this repair business works hard to help & take care of their customers. Thank you, Ace Auto Repair & Tire!

We did not feel valued as a new client. Felt dishonest and the reasoning given was questionable for not having a tool to diagnose our car. We waited patiently for weeks and was understanding until it did not feel right anymore. How can a business not have a tool to diagnose a car??? I am sure we are not the only car that need this tool. It is so simple, if they do not want to fix our car, or too complicated, they can just say so! From September, if they really wanted our business, the owner could have reached out by now. Which we thought that this review is much needed. The owner was even throwing a shop name to us thinking he is helping but the shop do not even specialize on our car.

They also call promptly to provide updates and are up front about their recommendations.

Love that they sent the report via text so I could take some time to review and discuss with my husband. I also think the price is fair (checked with AI and it always fits the range for the service). Special thanks to Scott for staying late so I could pick my car up before the weekend! Appreciate you!! Highly recommend. P.S. location is so convenient, too.

AutoTech is a great place to get an estimate, and Lauren is very responsive. I had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend this shop as an alternative to dealership service.

I've been going to Diablo Auto Care for about a year now, and they've earned a level of trust…read morethat's honestly rare in auto repair. At one point my Acura MDX was at the dealer, and I was told I needed a gasket repair that would have cost well over a thousand dollars. I brought the car to Diablo for a second opinion, and they determined that the repair wasn't actually needed -- and they didn't charge me anything. They could have easily sold me expensive work I didn't need. They didn't. On another visit, the scheduled maintenance called for a valve adjustment -- something that normally involves a costly and invasive procedure. Diablo had the proper diagnostic tools to evaluate whether it was actually necessary, determined it wasn't, and saved me a significant amount of money. I also once brought my car in because I was concerned there might be exhaust fumes getting into the cabin. They took the time to evaluate it, drove the car, and checked everything -- and again, since there wasn't actually a problem to fix, they didn't charge me a dime for their time. They consistently under-promise and over-deliver. Repairs are done faster than expected, communication is clear, and more than once the "surprise" has been that my final cost was lower than what I was originally told. On top of all that, when my MDX needed to stay in the shop, they even drove me over to Enterprise so I could get a rental -- completely voluntarily. They didn't have to do that, but they did. That kind of consideration is rare and very appreciated. If you're looking for a shop that actually looks out for your interests -- not just their invoice -- Diablo Auto Care is it.

Their prices are reasonable, but what really impressed me was the customer service. A few weeks after my service, I had an issue and they literally dropped everything to assess and remedy it so I could get to work the next day. They charged me nothing for the assessment and quick repair, though we absolutely tipped the employee who helped me because his kindness and professionalism deserved recognition. You just don't find this kind of customer care very often anymore -- and certainly not from auto manufacturers charging thousands extra for service contracts. Thank you Chris, Ken, and especially the employee who helped me out in a pinch. Highly recommend!
