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.

A forever 5/5 star rating for Frank and the staff @ Great Mall Tire Outlet!! The way this business…read moreis run and based on COMPLETE HONESTY speaks volumes!!! As a female who doesn't know a lick about cars and maintenances, I solely rely on people to be professional and honest. The gentleman I typically go to for oil changes and smaller jobs had informed me that my front brakes were sh*t and needed to be changed ASAP. The rears were okay but he recommends me get them done as well since I was already doing the front. Luckily for me, I made the decision to see Frank. I let him know what kind of work I needed and although the rates were higher than what I was quoted from the other shop, Frank has forever been an honest and upfront- making Great Mall Tire Outlet a must. Come here prepared for a wait, y'all. The work is truly that great, leading to lots of regular patrons coming to see Frank and the guys. Shout out to Raul?? [I think that was his name] who was working on my car. Once the car was pulled on the rack, Frank's suspicions were right in me NOT needing to have break pads or my rotors change. NONE- not the front or the back!! So much for my fronts needing to be changed ASAP, right?? While I did waste an unnecessary amount of time having to make the trip out here, it was totally worth it thanks to the peace of mind Frank has given me. Come one, come all!! Great Mall Tire Outlet is heaven sent to people like me who could have easily been swindled!!! 5/5 stars but I would love to give them so much more!!!!!

I recently had a slight flat tire on only one of my tires so I wanted to make sure I can go to a reliable tire shop that can patch this tire. Having been to a few shops in the past with long service or unreliable results, I decided to hedge my bets with Great Mall Tire Outlet hearing that they do good results on a variety of cars ranging from regular gas to heavier Teslas with the insulating foam. The location was a bit sketchy at first but after coming in and getting all the details written down, car was quickly driven in and worked on for at least ~1 hour and was good to go. Drove around for more than 1 week and confirmed the flat was good as gone and all done for $50 is not too bad! One of the few reviews that I ironically want to say I won't come back to but if I do, I'll be confident Frank can do the job well done again.

Unfortunately, my car and I seem to be attracting a lot of nails lately. This is the 2nd nail I've…read morehad in my tire the past 4 weeks and the first time I was looking for a gas station with an air pump to fill my tire until I can get to a tire shop but saw there was a tire shop nearby so I popped in and they were able to take me right away, thought I needed a new tire but they just patched up the tire for 25$ and sent me on the way 20 minutes later. Today I was pumping gas and saw a giant nail sticking out of my tire and even though there were other tire repair shops closer I decided to drive the 20 minute to pop over to this shop. When I pulled in there was a line but I still parked and someone stopped me before I even got to the door and asked what I needed help with. I told them the issue then took the keys and let me know it is a 10 minute wait before my turn. I went inside and waited and they even offered me a free cold beverage for the hot day. Nice clean and AC waiting are as well. Today I had to replace the entire tire but it was fairly price and still in and out less than 30 min prob. Super fast and friendly and good work, they have my loyalty (but hopefully I won't need to use their service too often and avoid all the nails in the road).

Great experience today at Calderon's! I had a flat tire and before going to Calderon's, I drove to…read moreanother auto shop who tried getting me to get all my tires replaced, fixing this and fixing that, etc. and I wasn't about to get $1000+ in repairs with how old my car is and the mileage on it, especially if all I wanted was as to repair/replace a flat. Also, who knows how long it would take to get all those suggested repairs done? I'd heard good things about Calderon's from a coworker and decided to check it out. The whole process to replace my tire took less than 30 minutes and only $70 from my pocket. Great service and a great price, so definitely a place I'd recommend for folks needing help with their tires!
