They had my tire size available and had me in within 15 minutes of calling. Super friendly and nice. The waiting room is comfortable and clean. They offer coffee and water as amenities. There pricing was competitive and better than other places nearby. Super glad I was able to get my car serviced here. Thank you! read more

My car's CVT malfunctioned on the way home from work. I was really blessed that Bruce's was around the corner from my job to drop it off and check it. Thank goodness Jorge let me drop it off before they closed. Jorge was very helpful and Amanda was really kind in letting me stay after they closed to wait for my ride home. (Thanks for the tip on that taqueria BTW.) They both went beyond what customer service is about. I just hope that the service (if any) doesn't cost too much. Just wanted to Thank them both. read more

Yooooo! A friend and I are hundreds of miles from home. Hundreds of miles away from our destination. Heard a scary sound while on freeway. We found Bruce's shop, George was at front desk ready and prepared to help us! We were scared! He stepped up and reassured us everything would be ok and we found a safe spot. We are so grateful and appreciative of the integrity and kindness that we received here at Bruce's. Thank you sooo much. read more

I called Friday (no appt) to see if they could take my truck and they asked me to drop it off right away and they would get it done the same day. I dropped my truck just after midday on a Friday for tires and rims mounted and balanced, a set of new wheel sensors installed and a front-end alignment. They called me twice with updates (much appreciated), they made a recommendation on something to improve the looks, and I approved and they went and got the parts late in the day and then installed them. They were right, it was a great idea, looks fantastic. They stayed late an got me on my way that very same evening. Great service, delighted with work they did. The folks at the front counter were super nice and helpful and a joy to work with (both of them) read more

Stopped in this morning after making an appointment the other day regarding a possible oil leak (turned out everything was fine! Phew!) I've recently moved to Livermore and have been searching for a reliable place to service my old Honda. I will say that Brian (manager) and John (mechanic) made a worrisome experience turn into a relief! Everything was explained thoroughly, and the inspection was so well done and was of high quality. I'm extremely content with Bruce's Tire & Auto! They've turned me into a life-long customer! read more

Thank you so much to the great staff who fixed my punctured tire. I went in early around 7:20 with no appointment and asked if my tire could be patched and Brandon was very helpful and accommodating. The service took roughly 30 minutes and was very reasonably priced. Highly recommend based on the convenience, time to complete service and staff. It's already stressful enough realizing your have a flat due to a nail in your tire but the staff here made the process quick and simple. Not to mention they were opened earlier than most tire places so I was able to get into work at a decent time. Thanks again. read more

Brian is awesome! A bolt punctured our tire while getting off the freeway, so we stopped by to see if they could help us replace or fix it. While they didn't carry the specific tire that we needed, they were kind enough to fill our tire so we could make it to another place nearby that carried the specific tire we needed. So kind and helpful! read more

I took my car to a nearby big tire chain and they told me my flat was unfixable and that I needed to buy new tires. I knew this was wrong, so I took my tire to Bruce's where they fixed my tire the same day with zero hassle. More importantly, they didn't tell me I immediately needed to buy new tires. While other tire places lied to me, Bruce's was honest and they earned a new regular customer. read more

Had a great experience today as always with Bruce's Tire. This review is for Leonard who went above and beyond to make sure I left the shop with a peace of mind. After work today, I noticed my tire pressure light on. It's a super rainy day and had to get on Vasco. Called the shop 20 minutes before they closed and was told to come in so they could take a look. When I arrived Leonard was waiting for me. He took his time inspecting my tires, looking for any object that could have been there and thankfully my tires just needed air. He checked all my tires and filled them up too. Thankfully they let me stop by right before closing as I was really worried about my commute home. Thank you sooo much for the exceptional customer service!!!! Made it home safe and sound! :-) read more

So far so good! Just came in for an oil change but they were up front and great communication. Will definitely be coming here for service instead of the dealer. read more

My insurance gave me the option to go here for repairs, but I'll absolutely be back. The staff are all very professional and welcoming and they were very quick with getting my car done. Extra kudos to Brandon for dealing with my insurance on my behalf, highly recommend this shop read more

Great service. They got me in for an alignment the same week and it was done fast. I'll be going here more often.

Brandon went above and beyond my expectations. Extremely professional, personable, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended- great work and great pricing! read more

Allways do excellent, timely work for me! Tires this morning - Good prices and honest assessments. Been going there since Ken owned the shop. read more

Huge shout out to the staff at this fine establishment. We broke down on the freeway and google directed us to Bruce's. So glad it did. The shop is clean, the staff friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent communicators. A check engine light issue was diagnosed, worked on, and when the issue couldn't be resolved at their shop (replacing a PCM, not something they do), they didn't charge us for the labor and provided a recommendation for taking the vehicle to finish the job. Really impressed with the professionalism and extra care to try to make our unfortunate situation better. I'd give 6 stars if I could! read more

I came in Thursday morning with a flat tire from a pot hole on vasco that rode in terrible!!! I had to get my car towed which cost me $200!!!! Bruce tires was the closest to my work. My coworker recommend this place so I came in. Immediately they walked out and greeted me and they said we don't have the tire you need but we can order it and your car will be available Tomorrow morning. Today I walked in and they had my car ready gave me a print out of a summary of what they did and some suggestions. And they gave me the best deal ever. I will definitely be coming here again. If you need any tires or any work with your car go to Bruce's tires they are the best! Thank you Brandon for all your help! read more

I had a back window that would not roll back up and thought maybe the motor went out and also had an issue with my car keeping coolant in it. They checked out both issues for me right away, fixed my window and changed out my water pump and my car is running like a gem again. I really appreciate the customer service and the timely fix. I would highly recommend them. Cheers read more

A great place to get work done , diagnosis and tires. They are very professional, and honest. They take great care of my mom when she goes in. Give her a courtesy ride home and all. Most importantly they don't up charge and when they recommend that something needs to be done , well then it does ! read more

The team was extremely helpful. I was in and out in 30 minutes, got my tire fixed and will definitely be coming back for any future needs.

I went to Bruce's this morning and I had an amazing experience. The store manager Brandon is fantastic, he noticed I was sitting in my car and he came to me asking what he could help me with. He's extremely patient, knowledgeable and kind. Also Brian was there and he's also fabulous, knowledgeable and customer focused and tells good jokes!! Brandon noticed that I needed to replace my tires and he could've said all of them needed to be replaced but he said only the front two needed to be replaced. He knew that I would've did whatever he suggested but he was HONEST!! I will be returning next week to get those new tires!!! EVERYONE SHOULD COME AND CHECK THEM OUT THEY'RE SUPER HELPFUL AND AMAZING!!?? read more

This is the first time I've been to this location since it became "Bruce's Tire & Auto Service". I've been a long time customer of Ken's Tire where I always had honest and reliable service. After realizing it's not longer Ken's, I called Bruce's to see if they could fix a tire on my Expedition. I drove over a large screw in the driveway and tires were basically brand new. Joe answered the phone when I called and told me to bring it down and I'd have just a short wait. Great! I inflated my tire enough to get there and was welcomed the moment I walked in the door. The Customer Service Manager, Brandon was awesome. I told him about the coupon online I'd seen for free tire repair and he told me I could use it. Yay! I gave Brandon all the updated information and settled in with the free wifi to get some work done. I don't think I was there longer than 20 minutes before it was all done. There was no charge and I was on my way. I can't comment on other work or charges for auto repair. However, I had a wonderful impression with Brandon's warm, positive attitude and won't hesitate to return for other repairs or an oil change. The waiting area is clean and inviting, including a small table area for kids. Should I need to return for other work, I'm happy to update. read more

When I first hit the door I felt the vibe hit me with Kurt at the front desk awesome conversation definitely knowledgeable about what I needed as a customer.

Thanks Kurt. read more

During the last week of December while making deliveries in Pleasanton my work van got a flat tire. A friend recently told about Bruce's in Oakland for my personal vehicle and since the reviews were good I googled the nearest Bruce's and drove to Livermore. 1. I accidentally entered the establishment from the garage and a nice gentleman greeted me and guided me to the service desk. 2. I met Brandon who was all smiles and courteous to get my request started. Joe gathered all my information and got the ball rolling. Brandon and I chatted a bit about Oakland's service center which gave me the sense these centers are supportively connected. I was out the door in less than an hour and there was No Charge to fix the tire. You will like these guys. You will appreciate their professionalism and attention to your service needs. read more

I had a great experience with Bruce's shop - at about 3:15 PM on my way back to San Francisco from a Mammoth lakes hiking weekend, the aluminum "plate" mounted below the engine/oil pan on my Honda Civic detached at the back and created a loud unpleasant scraping noise. I looked up nearby service stations and Bruce's was close so we limped (slow speed, flashers on) there and were greeted by two very friendly and knowledgable service attendants. They arranged for their mechanic George to put the car on their lift, and he removed the plate quickly and expertly. In addition to friendliness, efficiency (the entire experience was less than 30 min) and expertise the service guys declined to bill me! Wow. Hard to imagine a better experience - thank you all!! read more

So I was at work at The Lab in Livermore when my work was interrupted by a phone call. "John, I have bad news. The left rear of your car is on the ground" I work with excellent people, and the phone call was from the maintenance folks. They offered up their mini air compressor, and another colleague chimed in that he had a tire repair kit in his car. We were able to fill the tire back up but could not find any puncture or anything. So with the tire now full of air again, I drove over to the closest tire repair place, Bruce's Tire & Auto. When I got there and parked I realized that in my haste I forgot my wallet. I went in anyway and told them I was the guy that just called and just realized I forgot my wallet. He responded that if it was just a repair not to worry about it. This turned out to be the case, and my car was ready and done within 20 minutes at no cost for the repair. I thanked them, and was on my way. The next morning the tire pressure light was once again illuminated. This was during the first days of the colder mornings so I figured it was just the cold making the tire lose or think it was low on air. After work I stopped back in to Bruce's, calling on the way to explain the situation. The friendly employee said no problem just drive around to the back. The garage door was open and they waved me in. Once again within minutes all four tires were filled back to spec at no charge and was on my way. Great place, great friendly people and great service! It was my last day of work before going on vacation for two weeks in New York so I was very grateful I could go on with my travel plans with peace of mind. read more

I've been a customer for over 5 years now and their service and quality of work is amazing. Shoutout to Brian at the counter - he is extremely efficient, trustworthy, knowledgeable and kind. He has been giving me rides back to my house or nearby Starbucks while my car was at the shop. I no longer live in the area but I still go to Bruce's tires because they are that good! read more

Bruce's Tires have repaired and serviced both of our cars. they are honest, more than fair and do solid work. They were very prompt and friendly. I live out of town, but i will bring my vehicles to Bruce's for anything that my cars need. Curt Dunaway, keeps it rolling! 5-stars read more

Was driving in the area and needed a tire repair They were very responsive to my need and even though the tire could not be repaired they installed the spare at no charge charge. Awesome customer service!!!!! read more

Since the other review i posted got taken down I'll say it again. The guy running this shop runs it like it's his business. He will scam anyone up selling work that isn't needed and if you try and contradict him he will be extremely hostile and say that's the way he runs this shop. Any other shop in town is better than this place. read more

I highly recommend the team at Bruce's Tires. They are my go to service shop for my Jeep and my wife's car in the Tri-Valley. I trust them with all my service needs. They installed the lift and BFG's on my JK. I have complete confidence when I am OffRoading that everything has been installed, inspected and is ready for any adventure I am going on.

Was heading back to work after lunch and got a low tire pressure warning. Pulled over only to see the head of a large screw sticking out of my back left tire smiling back at me. I quickly pulled up Google maps to see the nearest shop near me that did tire repair and gave these guys a call to see if they were open. They told me they were open, that tire repairs could be done via walk in, gave me a quote over the phone and invited me to come on down. They are pretty easy to find... Just turn right at the light by the Jack in the Box and then they are on the left with big signs on the windows (can't miss it). Drove the short ~1 mile trip from work over there and was greeted immediately at the front desk. They seemed pretty busy but we're able to get to me within a minute or two of waking in. After a quick look at the puncture in the tire, they pulled the car around to the shop to repair, saying it would be less than 30 minutes. About twenty or so minutes later I was getting my receipt and heading back into my car and back to work... All in less than an hour between the time I first called and the time I was out the door... Including driving over there! Huge shout-out to Jose for the super fast service and Brandon the customer service manager for getting me in and out and on my way so fast - Thanks again guys! read more

First: Brandon, thank you so much for all your help today--you're the reason I will be bringing my car into Bruce's from now on! I purposely stopped here after work based off all the excellent reviews to get my tires checked out & filled with air. Just before I could walk completely in the store, Brandon greeted me & asked what I needed help with. I told him I just needed air in my tires because my car wouldn't shut up about low pressure, and he instantly told me to drive around back to help. I met him outside and he quickly helped me get back on the road even though I neglected to say my tires were nitro-filled--slightly different process than air, but was no problem for him. Surprisingly (but honestly shouldn't be, right?), the store was very clean and inviting. The other employees seemed great, but it was awesome to see Brandon be the one to help me from start to finish. Even though I didn't seem like it, Brandon was still very very personable, understanding, professional, and efficient--and I'm very grateful for your help. Next time I need help with my car, I'll go to Bruce's first & request Brandon--you all should too! You don't get service like that literally anywhere! Thanks again! read more
