These guys were great! I was on my way across country when I experienced some issues with my tire in Los Banos, CA. It was early morning when I called and I didn't have an appointment. But, they got me right in! Fixed my problem quickly and for a very good price! I will highly recommend them to friends and family if they are ever in Los Banos, CA. Thanks guys, for a job well done! I arrived safely to my destination thanks to you! read more

During a recent trip from SoCal to San Francisco on the I-5, the tire pressure system from our rental alerted us of low pressure. We pulled into the closest gas station to fill the tire with air thinking it was a simple fix. However, when we left the gas station and resumed our trip, the tire pressure monitoring system threw another light and we saw the tire pressure on the dash go from 32 PSI to 26 PSI in a matter seconds. I had my wife look up the closest tire shop, and we found Bruce's Tire. I called them while we were driving there to see if we needed to make an appt. and the guy that picked up the phone told us to just drop by. I forgot the name of the guy that helped me but he was really easy to work with. I told him I called earlier regarding a flat and he immediately had a mechanic take off the tire for inspection. Turns out there was a nail in the sidewall and couldn't be patched. I was under the impression that I was going to pay for the tire replacement. But it turns out, because it was a rental from Enterprise, he was able to get it covered 100%. We were in and out of there no more than 30 minutes. These guys are terrific and I recommend them 100%. read more

We were on the road headed to Seattle when an unexpected issue occurred with our brakes. We came by Bruce's and Jacob totally helped us out. He was professional and kind. If I lived in the area this would be my go to shop! read more

USE CAUTION ~ RIP OFF SHOP! We live locally. Girlfriend in her mid fifties took her car into this facility to do an oil change, thinking they would treat her right. Mechanics can easily see that knows squat about cars, so of course they tried to snooker her, by telling her she needed new front tires and struts. I worked on Jet fighters and have rebuilt several cars, and I found nothing wrong with either. I told her to take her car to two other reputable companies in town and simply ask to check the struts & tires, without saying what this location told her. BOTH locations advised her the struts & tires were just fine. THESE CROOKS NEED TO TRY TO SUCKER SOMEONE ELSE! ... I HOPE '7 ON YOUR SIDE', DOES AN UNDERCOVER ON THEM TO EXPOSE THEIR EVIL DOINGS! read more

Was traveling from Sacramento to Los Angeles and our Q5 got a flat tire/sidewall tear. We went to a few different spots to get a tire replacement but most places didn't carry the one we needed and the chain tire spot in town refused to change or sell just the one tire (told us we had to buy/replace the full set, but they also didn't carry the brand I prefer and I did not want to commit to a full set of something else). Jose at Bruce's was super helpful and gave us helpful recommendations and information and let us decide. We were in and out and less than an hour! Now we're wrapping up our trip with the replacement tire and will be able to get home and get a new set . read more

Customer service was nice. After I declined services recommended, which was very pricey $$$$$ The same nice guy didn't even say hope you come back, or let's do some work now and rest later. Nope. Got 4 tires. First time going because someone recommended. My truck needs work but not going in for $$$ and coming out wilth $$$$$$$$$$ debt. Asked for itemized bill to see charges parts n labor. No only declined items no prices. They don't need new clients. read more

We were on the road between San Jose and Bakersfield and my brakes started making a heinous grinding noise. We stopped in at Bruce's tire and auto since they were highly rated. We pulled in at 12:50pm. Unfortunately, the mechanic had just clocked out for lunch. His lunch would be an hour, but he would look at it right when he got back. 2:00 the mechanic takes it back and at 2:45pm we are told we need new brakes and rotors and to flush the fluid in the system. The gentleman at the counter says "Hour and a half, two hours tops" we hung out in their reasonably comfortable customer waiting area. I wish the Wi-Fi password had been posted somewhere because the Verizon coverage was a little sketchy. At 4:10 we are told "It's almost done, like 15 more minutes." It was done at 5:05pm. I really appreciated the assistance, especially on short notice. They were very kind, and my brakes work well. But, I would have preferred more realistic timing estimates, especially as they knew we were traveling and already had a really long day. read more

Was on a road trip going Los Angeles and my serpentine belt snapped. Went into Bruces auto right when they opened and they ensured that my vehicle not only had a new belt but that they patched up gasket damage that would have left me stranded down the road! If you come to this shop ask for JV excellent customer service and he will make sure you're taken care of! read more

On our way home from California moving our disabled mother we had a several things break on my Husbands truck. Bruce's was the only shop in town that wanted to tackle this project. They worked around the clock to tackle this project in a timely manner. They also found affordable prices, found parts that would be available to allow the quickest turn around. This shop was also in close communication with my husband the whole time in the execution of the project. I would recommend them to anyone that needs service in this Los Banos area! Thank you Bruce's for your amazing service and labor to allow us to get on the road! read more

Good job, but a little too expensive!! $160 for a tire replacement and broken lug nut. (brought my own tire) Gave them a chance to earn my business, but NO thanks. I can only imagine what they would have charge if I needed a tire from them. I'll keep going to Walmart for tires and Los Banos Tire shop for anything else. Sorry Bruce too expensive for me!! read more

came here for transmission oil change. valvoline cost $180 and this place charged me $320 when they just used Valvoline oil as well! my gas mileage also has gotten worse since coming to this place, so i'm not really sure what they did. do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! they don't explain or give you an itemized receipt. read more

I had a car cut me off the road in the middle of nowhere and force me onto the right shoulder, which was sharp rocks. The tire tread completely disintegrated. Got a midnight tow and motel. Next day, called Bruce's and talked to Ricky. He put me on a quick hold and checked his store's stock and all of his suppliers, but nobody had my size wide performance tire that day. But he gave me the choice of 5 tires of various levels/prices w 24hr delivery. I picked, he said he'd have it next day 2pm and did. It was on in 5min and I drove away happy and relieved. No BS, no upsell, nothing but excellent customer service. Literally the BEST tire buying experience I've had in 40yrs of driving, all thanks to Ricky and Bruce's. Thanks Ricky! read more

These guys are terrific. I had an emergency repair while traveling through los Banos. I called four different auto repair shops. Three brushed me off. However Jacob and Ruben were both very helpful on the phone and took me in immediately. I had missed diagnosed the problem as a stuck thermostat. Fred measured temperature at the hose and within 30 minutes concluded I had no problem with overheating. The sensor may be out. For this, they charged only $30. I am very impressed. Also, as an old time hot rod guy and street racer, I was delighted to see this famous name is still alive and doing well. No Californian rot rodder or drag racer did not use or admire Bruce tires. read more

I did some suspension mods to a Boxster and needed a custom alignment. Guido told me they could handle while I waited. I discussed the specs with Frank the Alignment Tech. Frank had to make adjustments to 3 corners to get the alignment exactly where I requested to baseline the geometry and gave me a copy of the before and after results. All for less cost than the dealership charges. My Thanks! read more

I have been coming here for oil changes for years. Called the day before about bringing my car in for an over due oil change. Gilbert made an appt. for the next day early 9am, which worked perfectly for me. I waited in the waiting room while the work was done and was very quick & affordable. read more

Please beware when bringing your car to Bruce's Tire. They are dishonest and take advantage of old men and young, naive people. For example, rotating your new tires with less than 1,000 miles driven and changing oil that was just changed weeks prior, under 1,000 miles. It's not okay to take advantage of helpless people. read more

Excellent customer service and super friendly staff. On or way to LA from the Bay Area and discovered we had a slow leak. Helped a few different places but this is the only one that was open early and picked up. Came over and was helped by Hector. He was amazing and also from the Bay Area! We were fixed and readyto go in 20 minutes! Their customer lounge was a bonus...I had a nice comfy recliner to sit in while I nursed my baby. read more

Bruce's Tire & Auto - Tires Near Me - Los Banos, California

I had the worst experience here today. I've always came to Bruce's Tire for all my automotive needs but this time they let me down. I purchased a battery here 5/23/22 and my battery went out. I called to get warranty information and the guy told me he couldn't find my information. Then he told me it was a interstate battery which they don't carry. So he referred me to another automotive shop in town,who informed me it wasn't a interstate battery it is a FVP Battery. Very frustrating that I bought my battery from Bruce's Tire and they referred me to a different automotive shop. Issue is still not resolved. read more

Took my mini van to get a oil change, and noticed that they put seat cover and a mat so the van stays clean. Great customer service!!

While traveling Hwy 5, a bolt came out of my brake caliper. I made it to Hwy 165 and Shell station. A local, Filipi Barba, told me about Bruce's tire and auto. I was towed to Bruce's tire and auto at 205 Pacheco Blvd. Los Banos, CA, I spent the night at Best Western which was next door. Guido and Pablo had the bolts ordered and installed the next morning and I was on my way by 10am. Great price, good, friendly service. I would use their service every time. read more

I've always had a smooth and pleasant experience every time I get my car service, they don't try to sell you unnecessary services that you don't need. They are pretty good at letting you know , if a service needs to be done immediately or if it could wait for the next service time. I recently moved to Sacramento, and I will continue to service my car with them when I'm in town to visit my family. I definitely recommend this place for a any kind of care services, they are honest and have great customer service. read more

This place sucks. Went in for brakes. Guy said he can have it done by the end of the day. Called around 4. They said they "didn't order the right parts and would need to keep it overnight" I said no I have to go to work. I get there and the guy says. "Come back on Saturday and we can have it done". I tell the guy I work Saturday. He's like "not a problem I'll have all the parts and you can drop it off at 730am" I come at 730 and this fucking place isn't even open. I tell the guy I came at 730. He's like. "I know we are closed". Then why did you tell me to come at 730?? Plus they didn't even have the parts delivered!! TLDR: To all BAY AREA COMMUTERS: DONT' BOTHER WITH THIS PLACE. JUST TAKE YOUR CAR TO A SHOP IN SAN JOSE. SAVE YOURSELF TROUBLE. read more

Great customer service... Guido always very friendly and professional. You see the same guys there which tells me their turn over is low. That speaks volumes. Always friendly. They fix my tires usually for free when i continuously pick up nails. They are never condescending especially for me being a woman who is oblivious to "man things".. I appreciate you guys!! Thank you read more

Had my tire checked due to it going down in pressure. Just took it in randomly and they were able to find the nail and patch it up without an appointment needed. They did it fairly quick and charged pretty reasonably. Thank you Bruce's tires! read more

This is my first review, so bear with me. I am Deaf and when I walked in, they treated me with respect by writing back and forth with me, using body language to show me where to go and show me what happened to my tire, and most important, being patient with me. The price is reasonable and their service is incredibly fast. I appreciate their work and highly recommend to anyone who is not from around here. Thank you! read more

My low tire pressure light went off on the 5. Thankfully, I was referred to Bruce's Tires who saw me right when they opened at 7:30 the next morning. I cannot thank Jose and his team enough for their kindness and their expertise! Turns out the tow truck that the insurance company sent to me, overinflated my tires, which caused a secondary issue. Jose and his team quickly diagnosed the problems, fixed the tire pressure, reset and calibrated everything, showed me how to do it and explained everything in great detail. In less than 7 minutes from when I got there, I was safely on my way, comforted by their expertise. I am so grateful for all of their help and they did this all kindly free of charge. 5 stars all around!! Thank you to the team at Bruce's Tires!! read more

Fast professional service. Reasonable pricing. Made a grueling experience tolerable. I would recommend this establishment to anyone with a blowout in the middle of the night. They open at 8 am. read more

So much more than a tire shop. I was referred to these guys when my car broke down on I5. I spent a couple hours trying to find the best place to go, and find it I did. After considering going to a dealership, I was actually referred to Bruce's Tire BY the dealership. Someone at the dealership said "if it were me, I would take it to them". Now you can imagine the difficulty writing a positive review when a couple of hours after receiving my vehicle, I got a call from them that the Vehicle was seized and basically done. But they dealt with everything with such sincerity, honesty and professionalism, that it made the experience of receiving such news SO much smoother. Whats better is that as I mentioned, they are so much more than a tire shop and within hours I had a quote for an entire engine replacement!!!! Stephen was the one that walked us through the entire process, and even went so far as to get our family to a car rental agency within 10 minutes (before it closed), just to help us out. Its amazing to find people like Stephen in the world of Mechanics. He is so friendly, knowlegeable and honest, that with someone like him dealing with you directly, you are certain to have a smooth experience with Bruce's Tire. Don't fear!! Go Here!! There are so many crooks out there, these guys will take care of you properly. read more

Despite being short handed that day Robert took care of us by making sure our new tires were installed and balanced correctly. We didn't mind the wait because we knew he didn't have all his workers there. We appreciated that he would check in with us as to the status of the job. I would highly recommend Bruce Tires in Los Banos to my friends and family! read more
