We blew a trailer tire on the way to Yellowstone and was able to get 4 new tires right away. The service was great and the prices reasonable. They helped get us back in the road quickly even though they were busy. read more

Called about getting a 40 foot shipping container moved here locally. Was given a date for delivery, driver never showed up and no call as to a reason why. Very unprofessional and owner will treat you great as well! read more

I would like to extend my deep gratitude to the owner Blake. My uncle and I had broken down on a rocky dirt road 30 miles back away from the nearest highway. We were in the desert, in August, and it was a Sunday. I was fortunate enough to find service, and blessed to have Blake answer the call. He was very responsive and coordinated with the local deputies to lead in what was nothing short of a search and rescue mission. Very few people would have ventured out risking equipment and their own welfare to help others in this situation. Blake and his assistant were professional, friendly, and saved our skins. Service at the shop was top notch. Staff was friendly and did everything they could to facilitate us getting back on the road. I would highly recommend this business to anyone who is in need of automotive care, the whole experience was above and beyond expectations. Thankyou Blake and Winnemucca Big O Tires team. -Chance Mauldin read more

Big O Tires - In a bad spot - Auto Repair Near Me - Winnemucca, Nevada

See all

STAY AWAY! Scammer Alert! Dishonest! All of these reviews talk about how nice the owner is. No, he's simply a good SALESMAN/CONMAN. He was super nice to me at first and acted like he was helping me get my car repaired. He changed his attitude once he knew I wasn't believing my axle was bent, and I called him out. I dropped my car off at 8:30 in the morning for a simple tire alignment. I called them at 3:30 asking if my car was ready. I was told my car was next. I drove there at 4:00pm and the owner told me something was badly bent, and I needed to talk to his technician. I asked where is the technician? The owner says oh he's not here, but he'll be back in about 45 minutes. I wait for the technician to come back to work and he tells me my rear axle is bent and it'll cost me a little over $3,000 to repair, and he can't repair it until the next day. I knew there was NO way my axle was bent. I said don't touch it, I'll take my car to a trustworthy shop when I return home. Big O tells me they fixed the front wheel alignment and charged me $125. Like an idiot, I paid Big O the $125. I wasn't even a block away and my car was still pulling hard to the right. Big O didn't fix a thing, but they held my car just over 8 hours, and charged me $125 for I'm assuming as a parking fee. I know they saw my out of state license plates and figured I was an easy cash grab. When I returned home I went to a local tire shop. I didn't tell the new shop of my horrific experience at Big O. My car was properly aligned for just over $100 in under an hour. I asked the shop if there was an issue with my rear axle, and they looked confused saying No, why do you ask? I then told them my experience at Winnemucca, NV Big O and the entire shop just looked at one another in shock. STAY AWAY FROM Big O in Winnemucca! Go to Les Schwab and take your chances there. read more

It should be "Big A tire" for awesome. They really make you feel comfortable and they're reasonably quick.

Owner is a nice man. Recommend Big O brand tires for my truck. They were quick replacing all four. Maybe too quick. One air valve was damaged and soon down the road it went flat. The road side Service 'All State' is a joke. I ended up changing the tire myself. I'm a 66 year old woman. Glad I could do it but it wasn't easy. read more

Big O saved me about $1,400! The first shop I called, Les Schwab, was being untruthful or uninformed when it "required" me to have about $1,400 of repairs beyond what I needed. Both Les Schwab corporate and my vehicle's manufacturer indicated the local LS shop was incorrect. Thankfully, Winnemucca has a shop like Big O to provide competent and honest service without the customer needing to play detective! That's the short version of the review--read on if you'd like more details. Or, just go to Big O and take your wife to a fancy dinner (or 10, or 20 dinners) with the money you could save from going here. A newish front tire on my AWD got destroyed from road debris about 100 south of Winnemucca. First, I called Les Schwab and the CSR said they would only install a new tire if I agreed to replace all four. My tires are a costly and staggered set that cost about $2,000 to replace all four. Also, they had no idea what the condition was of the other three tires they were requiring me to replace as a condition of service. A quick note for those unaware of an AWD phenomenon: it's sometimes advisable to replace all tires on an AWD vehicle when one goes bad. This is b/c if there is a significant difference in wear between the new and existing tires, the difference in tire rotation could damage the transmission. Because of this, reputable dealers will measure the difference in tire depth and, if it exceeds tolerances, replace all four versus just one tire. Back to my story. I informed the CSR at Les Schwab that my tires were almost new and there might not be any meaningful difference in wear between the new tire and the others, so they should inspect them before deciding they need to be replaced. She insisted the company's policy was to change all four regardless of their condition. I replied that requiring (versus recommending) unnecessary parts seems like fraud. After all, just the normal differences in PSI between tires would result in a greater difference in circumference than the treadwear between a new tire and one with, say, 5,000 miles. Then I asked if her response would be the same if I bought four new tires, drove 20 miles home and damaged one and she said "yes." That's when I knew I was dealing with someone misinformed or unethical. She said the manager could explain it. When the mgr came on the line, I expected him to either explain it (as she said he would) or say something like, "we often need to change all four but would need to measure the difference in wear before we can say for sure." He did neither. He said he only came on the line to tell me that (1) their policy is to change all four regardless of their condition (and apparently I didn't need to know why) and that (2) because I used the word "fraud," with the CSR, his shop would not service me at all, even if agreed to purchase the three other tires (which I didn't need). While stranded on the highway I asked two sources about this issue so I would be informed when I called the next shop. I called BMW of North America and spoke with a helpful gentleman, Frank, who said there is no need to change all four if the difference in the tread depth is less than 3/32". The manufacturer knows best so that's as authoritative as it gets. However, I also decided to view Les Schwab's website since I suspected the Winnemucca shop was going rogue. Les Schwab's website had an article called, "Should You Replace All Four Tires on Your AWD Vehicle?" which says, "At Les Schwab Tire Centers, we use a tread depth gauge to accurately measure the tread depth as a complimentary service. We can then help you decide if a full set of new tires would be best." Les Schwab's official corporate website says LS should measure to see if new tires are needed. Why didn't their store manager know this? Why was the Winnemucca location departing from LS's policy and from the guidance of my car's manufacturer? I then called Big O which said it would replace the tire but may need to replace all four if the difference in tread depth exceeded specs. Now that was the correct response--an honest and responsible response! Bog O FedEx'd my tire from Las Vegas, measured the difference in wear when it arrived, saw that the others didn't need replacing (the difference was well within my manufacturer's specs), and I was good to go. That saved me about $1,400! Note that back in Vegas I can also find a performance shop to shave off the minor tread difference if I wanted to track my car (which I don't) or drive it at 140 MPH (also which I don't), where it might begin to make a difference in driving dynamics. Before you think I was overcharged for what I got, understand these performance run-flats cost about $400 apiece and need to be balanced for high speeds. This cost would be the same at any shop. But cheaper at Big O since it won't needlessly require you to replace all four! read more

I always receive a high level of respect as a customer, and as a local resident have become accustomed to being reminded of the importance of being a better human being due to the kind attitude towards new and old customers. A lot of places by comparison are customer friendly, but I always feel the response to others at this store toward meeting demands is second to none. I have a lot of confidence that these experiences bring a level of confidence due to the quality competency of these individuals to perform as a whole to exceed expectations. read more

Truthfully I'd give this place a 0. They practice bait and switch faithfully. Came in for one tire, the sarcastic self riotous narcissist tried to sell me 4 and claimed that doing otherwise would void my warranty. He allegedly called the local Lexus dealership to verify. Interesting since there isn't a Lexus dealership in Winnemucca. Since I didn't believe the information I was being given I went outside and called my dealership and was told that I didn't need to replace all four tires. When I handed my phone to Mr.Cheerful he demanded that they e-mail verification on their letterhead. He refused to take their word for it. I had enough from this guy and left going to another local tire store where the service was excellent and I wasn't talked down to like I was a child. I recommend you find another establishment for your tires. This place is a ripoff. read more

One Saturday late afternoon about two months ago, our kids were driving to Boise when their car broke down 30 miles north of Winnemucca. We had the car towed to this BigO and eventhough they were closing, the owner Blake felt bad for us and stayed open so he could assess the problem. With Blake's help and knowledge, our kids' car was repaired. I highly recommend Blake for his honesty and integrity. read more

Big O Tires - Auto Repair Near Me - Winnemucca, Nevada

Literally saved our family trip. We got a flat 50 miles outside of Winnemuca on a 400 mile road trip with 5 people and a dog in the car. They were able to get us in within 30 minutes of making it to the shop and the pricing was very fair and honest. The waiting room was a throw back to the best part of old school America, the owner himself was working taking phone calls, helping customers. Overall without a doubt 5 star experience, great shop with great people working. read more

Always reliable, friendly, and kind. Will store snow tires. Great staff and owner. Good prices.

Best tire place around! The owner and workers are top notch. Friendly, reliable, prompt, caring and care about their community and everyone in it and the ones traveling through! They took excellent care of my elderly father in law and gave him a screaming deal. A+ read more

Blew two trailer tires 10 minutes out of winnemucca, charged us $800 including a $300 service fee. Had no other options and they took advantage. Good service but exploited a bad situation read more

Traveling from Utah to Cali, I hit a screw at some point. These guys are open early in the morning, so they were able to get me in right away and fix the issue for a reasonable price. But that's something anyone can offer. The place looks like a generic busy car garage, but the people that work here are authentic, open, big hearted, reliable, friendly, and caring. They make an unforgettable connection with you. And that is something you don't find every day. It is clear that when you come here, you're supporting the people of this community. Thanks for fixing my tire, but more thanks for opening my heart today. Strong coffee offered, Dog friendly environment, with a beautiful, chill cat that loves cuddles. read more

Blake at Big O saved our trip and perhaps more. Felt a wobble in the steering wheel so pulled into the local large chain outlet here thinking we needed an alignment. They couldn't squeeze us in so told us to visit Big O, which was trustworthy. So we went over, and though the store isn't fancy and is super packed with tires, manager Blake and staff were welcoming, attentive, and offered to come out to take a close look to be sure there wasn't something serious going on. He carefully felt around the tires, and quickly identified a bulge suggesting a risk of blowout. He helped us identify replacement tires and got us on our way. We were super lucky to find them - highly recommended. read more

More than 5 stars if I could. Traveling east to Boise and we had two tires fail on the truck. Him as the crew took exception care of our tire needs and quickly service replacing all the tires on the truck. Every town or city needs a great guy like Blake and his crew to help out stranded motorist traveling through. We were back on the road a few hours later. Blake, thank you and thank your crew, you guys are a great team. Don't hesitate to stop by and get service at Big O in Winnemucca Nevada. read more

These guys came out to the middle of the desert in the middle of the night to grab my rv , brought a second truck cause we couldn't ride in the first one cause of covid, let us sleep in the parking lot cause it was 4 in the morning and got the rv in and fixed right before 4th of July weekend, even though they were already slammed. What more can I say? I'd give them 10 stars if I could. read more

This place is amazing and it's because of the owner Blake Lambert. He is a straight-up good guy who wants to do the best by his customers and even stranded RV owners like us. We were traveling from Salt Lake City to the SF Bay Area. We stopped in Winnemucca for the night and stupidly damaged the AC unit on the roof of our camper van, by trying to drive under a motel portico that didn't have enough clearance. I called around a bunch of places trying to find someone who would just secure what was left of the AC unit so we could drive home safely without pieces flying off on the freeway. After a lot of No's, I was referred to Big O Tires. Thank goodness for that. We showed up early in the morning and Blake came outside to greet us. He took one look at us and our rig and knew immediately what we needed. Without hesitation he said he'd fix it if we would just hang out for a little while. We were there about 1 hour and the mechanic Doug got it all safe and secure for traveling. We were so grateful, but Blake refused to take any payment. He just sent us on our way and wished us safe travels. While we were there, we watched Blake interact with other customers and he had the same attitude of kindness and integrity with everyone. If you find yourself in Winnemucca and need any type of vehicle repair, go to Big O first. It's not just for tires and you will be treated right. read more

On my way to Utah to Reno to visit family with my wife, didn't have too much money with us just enough to make the trip we blew a tire and was on the phone with roadside assistance all day. Was in the car for 15 hours. Then was forced to gett a big o tires tow and pay out of pocket. Then Blake didn't even help our situation and he was trying so hard to get us out of his hair. He forever me to by four new tires I didn't need. Only needed two so that was a big deal for a bout an hour or two then He rushed the tires and then we pull up to the motel and the driver front tire fell off dangling. Now we get to Utah and my whole CV joint and control arm is off because of how the tire fell off in winnemuca at the motel. Now he's not returning our calls he's avoiding us ever since we called back the first time about the tire falling off Looking for financial compensation for this read more

They Rock, I spoke to Rachel, and she assured me that she had the 5th wheel trailer tire in stock. Got my rig to their shop and was treated like an old friend. I'm not kidding, I'd go back in a second. We were traveling from Tennessee pulling a 30' 5th wheel. read more

My car started making a terrible noise so we came here. They fit us right in for an inspection with the mechanic. Unfortunately they didn't have the part in stock I needed (a Subaru rear wheel hub) but they offered to order it. It would have taken 2 days to get here so we called a tow truck but we are so appreciative for their diagnostic help. And they didn't even charge us just said safe travels. read more

Big O Tires - Auto Repair Near Me - Winnemucca, Nevada

Be careful of their pricing. I bought a set of 4 Big O branded tires in late October 2018 and was charged $298 per tire (list price). A week later I had a flat due to a roadside hazard and needed a new tire. The price of the exact same tire in Novato, CA is $229.99 per tire. It's amazing that the Big O brand tires can differ by almost $70 per tire or 25%. My bad I guess but Big O headquarters needs to figure this out. I worked in pricing for Apple for years and this would never happen. It's sad that my stupidity cost me almost $300. Oh well, don't make the same mistake I made. Go to Les Schwab tires! read more

Saved our day. Got a flat tire about 20 minutes away from here and AAA recommended we come here. So glad we did! Coffee, a sweet cat, and excellent people that took care of us correctly. Made these travelers feel safe and welcome. They were able to repair our tire and didn't need to get a new one. Thank you! read more

Traveling in our motorhome south on 95 out of Idaho I was 42 miles out of Winnemucca, Nevada our alternator went out and we barely made it into Winnemucca by the grace of God. The wife got out her cell phone while I tried to keep the rv running pulling power off the rear coach batteries by a switch. Two companies couldn't help; but the second company recommended BIG O Tires. The wife called and spoke with a gentleman at Big O Tires and told us he could help us and to park our Motorhome in the parking lot across the street. We barely made it but once we arrived we parked it and walked across the street and went inside the office were we met the owner Blake, Dalton and Doug. Blake the owner was amazing he got on the phone and order 3 different alternator application on the spot just in case for my Ford V10. Blake said we're welcome to spend the night in the lot across the street and in the morning I was third in line to have my Rv repaired and he would get us back on the road that day. He even came over to check on us after they closed up for the evening and reassured us that we would be safe there overnight. He asked us if we needed anything before he left for the night. The next morning we waited in the customer service area they offered us coffee and fresh donuts while the mechanic Doug worked on our Rv. We had the pleasure to speak with the locals who have their vehicles serviced there and highly recommend them. Even Blake himself who was extremely busy made the time to chat with us. Everyone at Big O Tires made our stressful situation rather a enjoyable one and we were back on the road that next day like they promised by 11 a.m. Big O Tires charges fair prices and provide 24 hour emergency road service. They DON'T take advantage of people who are not from the area! You won't find a more accommodating business or staff and they made our terrible stressful mechanical problems a breeze. Thanks again Big O Tires! Ed and Lisa Victorine read more

After our car started making a concerning noise during our road trip from California they took us in 20 minutes to closing just a few days before Christmas. They were working on several other vehicles but had us back on the road quicker than expected. While my family (with small kids) waited we were able to watch kids TV and we were offered coffee and donuts. The owner even let us bring our dog inside while they worked on our car. I am beyond pleased with the service and hospitality of this business. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

Big O (Blake and his employees) replaced the water pump for me late on Saturday afternoon. Very friendly and very honest. I would definitely recommend. read more

On our way from NC to CA my car started to overheat 15 miles out of Winnemucca NV so we pulled into Big O. My car was full of supplies for a two month trip as well as my 3 kids and wife so a overheating problem was not what I wanted. It was a super busy Saturday but Blake the Owner went the extra mile to make us comfortable. On top of buying us Pizza and water he made sure our car was fixed as fast as he could. We were out the door with a fixed car in 1.5 hours. Great service and VERY kind people. read more

Shout out to Blake and the great service provided for both towing and repair work. A few weeks ago, my wife and I were stranded 65 miles north of Winnemucca on 95. A bearing went out in our travel trailer on our return to California. After getting no where with securing towing through Progressive, I took care of it myself and called High Desert Towing. Blake got on it and within a few hours the flat bed arrived. At the time of the call, I was given great instructions of what I needed to due to back the trailer up on to the flat bed and that they could take care of the bearing repair through Big O. Anybody who has been stranded like this, knows full well the stress involved. The next morning I went to their yard to get the low down. Understand, that these type of repairs are not something that can be done overnight. Fortunately, we were about 7 seven hours from home and left the trailer in Blake's hands. He inspected and re packed all bearings, replacing 2. Due to the age of the tires, I had those replaced as well. We returned the following week. Blake was very detailed in what was done and why. We made it home without an real issues. I was taken aback when I got a call from Blake that evening, checking to see if we made it home ok. In my opinion, Blake's service, attention to detail, and business practices are stellar. Know that this man provides exceptional opportunities for those in need. Not only his customers, but employees and community. God Bless. read more

Took car in for alignment, and picked it up with a broken drivers side window. They say they roll down drivers side window so they don't lock keys in car. First, who cares? They obviously broke window after they rolled it back up, and two , how stupid do they have to be? This is a new car, totally unable to lock doors when keys are inside. That's been a non issue for nearly a decade. At any rate, management refused to acknowledge responsibility even though service guy admitted to it happening on his watch. Stay away. They will hurt your car. read more

The plastic cover under my car came loose. White knuckled it from Jordon Valley to Winnemucca to Big O tires because it was the closest. It took them one and a half hours of waiting before they got my car in. The parts to screw the cover back in were less than $3. They charged me $52 for ten minutes of work. Do not use this shop. They royally rip you off. read more

Thank you, Blake, Mike , Doug and crew! We headed to Boise in our Haulmark trailer with a motorcycle in it towed by our F-350 4x4 truck. We blew a trailer tire as we exited to Winnemucca for gas and changed to the spare and limped to Big O around 8:30am to replace the spare. We were met by Blake and Crew. What GREAT customer service! Friendly, helpful, employees who, along with Blake, taught us a lot about tires and helped us by replacing not only the subject spare, but after he showed us why the other side had aged out, replaced that tire and then we discovered our front tire on the truck which also was aging out with stress cracks, separation and a bulge developing on the side; we decided to replace that one, as well. They did not have a new (265/70 R19.5) huge tire. Much like a previous reviewer, Blake found a used tire of that size with sufficient tread for us to make it to our destination in Boise and home to CA. We were charged $110.00 for that tire and it seemed a little high at the time as we paid around $350.00 for that same tire; until we recalled it was purchased.....uh..15 years ago. Today that same tire runs $555 in CA. We were back on the road in 2 hours. So, hey, paying for tires is about as fun as paying for unmentionables. It may be the reviewer who felt he was charged too much may not have taken into account the age and condition of his tire. We were out in the middle of the Nevada desert with not many options. Just my opinion. But I felt we were charged fairly and were treated in a very courteous and professional manner by the entire team. read more

Driving through Nevada on the way back home when my car started acting up and the check engine light came on. Took it a shop that said the catalytic converter was bad. The only place in town that does exhaust is apparently Big O tires. Was told it would be 2 hours to get it in. 4 hours later they finally got it in and took one hour to install a catalytic converter. When I got the bill it showed 3.5 hours of labor. When I questioned the time I was told that was the book time so that's what they charge. That is not only theft but fraud. If the book time was close, or if they had disclosed this before, no problem. When you are charging four times the hourly labor rate, that is purely dishonest. They know you are from out of town and are stuck so they stick it to you. 2000 miles later my check engine light was back on and it shows that the catalytic converter needs to be replaced. They put on a cheap generic one that does not handle the engine in this car. Cost me 500 at this shop, 350 with the correct converter in Colorado. Take you chances here. read more
