Looking for an honest reliable mechanic is a rarity and judging by the reviews I can see why this place is rated very highly. I came by this morning using a coupon for an oil and lube job and was greeted by Tony and Juno the mechanic that did a complete inspection mention that it needed new tires that were wore out and Tony had me look at it and they were so I left my car and came back that afternoon. Tony is very professional and only points out what it needs to be done in my case it was just the tires and nothing else. This place can be very busy so it's best to scheduled an appointment. I am very pleased with their workmanship very professional and highly recommend to my friends and co-wirkers. Will be back for my next oil and lube job.

Tony Once again came through, Very polite and excellent service l, Highly recommend they make you feel welcome

Tony once again was very helpful and very polite, They do a full on inspection very thorough definitely recommend, Great service and very professional

Needed directional tire swapped on my Model 3. Manuel did a great job. They didn't have the recommended pucks for jacking Teslas, so I was happy to provide them with mine and show them how to use it. To other Tesla owners, I would recommended carrying jack pucks to any auto repair shops.

Who gets 2 nails in two different tires within the same week? I do! What place will squeeze you in AND get you in and out of their shop within 30 minutes on a Saturday morning? Bruce's Tire! No joke folks, I got my right rear tire repaired here, and 3 days later my left rear tire got punctured by another nail. Because my 1st experience here was pretty painless, I figured I'd it was best to stick with a place I could trust. Reza who is their store manager took excellent care of me on both occasions. He managed to squeeze me in on a hectic Saturday morning, and he was spot on in calculating the time of completion on both repairs. From my experience with other shops, that is UNHEARD of! BT's has been around since 1936 and knows the true meaning of customer service. This will be my new go-to tire shop moving forward! * Make sure you leverage their check-in offer. Your first flat repair is free!

Got a fat nail on a rainy day. Bruce's tire didn't turn me away like 2 other stores. They took my truck in, got be back on the road in less than 30 mins. Good prices, good human working here. I know where to send friends and family to when they need car service now.

They said I had 3 mm left

Glad I went somewhere else. They told me I had to replace my front breaks along with the back ones. I know the back ones where bad, but the front ones were just an attempt to up sell, because I went to another shop and they showed me, I clearly had more then half the life left on the pads. I'm warning my ex boss from ben Franklin (who uses them a lot) about this . Edit You're salesmen told me I had 3mm life left on front breaks and I should replace them

My best friend and I had a flat tire and Bruce's tire was super reliable and quick to help! We went to four other tire shops and they either 1) didn't have her type of tire or 2) was too busy and didn't seem to care if they had another customer. At Bruce's tire, Tony was able to reassure us that he will help us fix our problem. They close at five, and it was around 4:30, so we were super appreciative that they could help us! They ended up switching all of the tires, which cost us almost $500, quite on the pricey side (so I had to knock a star down...) as my best friend has paid less than $50 for a new tire at other places. However, this place does get the job done, and Tony is fun to chat with during the process. :) We will return for the free tire rotations that they have included with the tires purchase!

Tire blew out Sunday night, all shops were closed.... I did not have a regular tire shop yet in San Jose. There are many options on tire shops but I decided to have my car towed to this shop because of the high ratings online and the professional look of their shop front on Google. Came over in the morning to drop off my keys and met Tony. He walked me through my tire options and specs. He recommended Continental Extreme Contacts. He said he would have to order them from the warehouse and that he would call me soon. I went home and felt my vehicle was in good hands. Tony called me and found that my old tires were not to spec with the vehicle and recommended I go with the spec tire dimensions. I appreciated the ongoing communication during this step. Within 3 hours I received a call telling me that my car was done. I was surprised how quickly Tony and the team at Bruce's Tire worked to get me back on the road. Very surprising because Costco tire told me it would take them a week to even get my tires in stock (LOL). I returned to get my vehicle and Tony wanted to make sure I was satisfied with my new tires. He asked me to text his personal number with my honest feedback once I drove the car. Tony cares about his customers and provides a level of service that is rarely found in most industries. I have found my new tire shop. Thank you for the great service and quick turn around time. Sincerely, DD

Where they make up in quality and service is where the inflated price is sorta justifiable.

Hello everyone! In couple words: i am lucky that i got to…read morethis repair shop, and very thankful for honest attitude!!! Thank you so much! I was sent here to repair transmission (the reason why i started finding answers was noise while driving and breaking), but instead, diagnostic showed that transmission is ok, and they said me "we don't repair things whish are not broken". And then i returned to the place (it was Akin Autorepair) which sent me to Dale Transmission, and here began conflict: they started scare me that my transmission is bad and axle can come out while driving(what was not true, i asked in official dealer), and complain that Dale transmission is not competent(what was pretty boldly and not polite from their side), and tried to send me to another transmission autorepair (by the way it would cost me at least 3000 dollars). I had not choice and went to official dealer, full diagnostic, which costed a lot. But they said "last word" - transmission is ok, and the reason of noise is bad front right hub, which need to replace. After that i came back to Dale Transmission and they changed my front hub, like exception, because they repair transmission only.

I was going through my 'Car Stuff' folder in my computer while searching for something and came…read moreacross some un-filed stuff on a Cadillac I own and drive every day. I have the canceled check and invoice for the re-built transmission Puzant at Dale's Transmission did for me back in 2012. The transmission is still purring along perfectly over 9 years later and I calculated that comes to 89¢ per day and each day I drive the car, that goes down. Thanks for the good job Puzant. I always recommend you when someone says they have a tranny problem. I'll include a photo. Maybe you'll remember this car.

I purchased a groupon for a smog check then booked an appointment through yelp. Upon arrival, they…read moreinformed me there was a technical issue with yelp and the appointments were not going through from yelp. They recommended calling in to make an appointment next time. I had the time though, so I stuck around and waited a bit before they were able to squeeze me in for the smog check (less than 30 min wait). The service was super quick and all the employees I interacted with were professional and polite. I'll likely be back next time I need service or a smog check (but with a phone appointment)!

I bought a break fluid oil flush voucher on groupon for mini cooper. Before I went to the shop, I…read morecalled the merchant to schedule an appointment with my car info and how it's working. The owner didn't mention ay additional charges. When I went to the shop , the owner told me I need to pay additional $40 dollars for oil recycling which is not mentioned on the groupon website. I told him I can accept the charge and I need the receipt with the $40 additional charge to follow up with groupon about it. The owner said I am not interested in the deal anymore and asked me to leave and get a refund from groupon. I also noticed the owner increased the break fluid flush price on groupon from $160 to $240 after I left the shop today. It's a really bad experience for customers that the owner can change his mind and reject the service. Update for owner's review below "a vehicle that is directly not covered in the advertisement" , groupon adversisement doesn't mention any special vehicle price. After the owner told me to charge additional $40, I was confused and later accepted the charge while telling him to get the receipt for reference then I can follow up with groupon. After that, the owner refused to do the service. I guess the owner don't want his practice to be exposed to groupon. The owner could have listed the additional charge on the groupon website in the beginning to let customers be clear about all the cost. " TheThe individual came in with a vehicle that is directly not covered in the advertisement. We told him it would be an additional $20 and there was also $20 for hazardous waste because the Groupon does not cover exotic Europeans he's on here acting like a child and leaving negative reviews I offered to work with him but he was combative and at that point we had asked him to leave do the safety constraints of the business and our employees. We will not be taking well to being threatened or harassed"
