Had good customer service this time!
Rick M.

Had a flat and needed a repair or was going to change the front two of the price was right. Ended up getting two new in front but price was more than a couple of other spots but they had tires in stock. Had towed over already so I went with them. They did get it done in a good time so I am pleased. Last time coming to this location was bad, bad, bad as far as the front of store customer service. I vowed never to come back but gave them another shot and it went pretty well. This was the only location I have had issues at but seems the personal is different and I was treated very well. Clean store and seems to be organized.

I can't say enough good things about the service I received from Joseph and Will. I have been doing business with Discount for more than 20 years, and my recent experience was particularly noteworthy. They handled my new wheels and tires with the utmost care and detail. Joseph carefully mounted, balanced, tightened and torqued each individual lug nut BY HAND just to ensure not to scratch or ding the new wheels. His care and consideration really meant a lot. They continue to earn my repeat business. Joseph and Will, thanks again. Tim Tahmisian

Saw this beauty when I got to work
Crissy H.

Like shockingly nice. This morning I got in my car and it said flat tire. I thought maybe the tire was just low on air, nothing massive. Got to work and saw the nail. I always go to discount tire but usually the one in Escondido but I work in Vista. This one was the closest anyway I get there. Everybody is super nice. They checked my tire, sprayed some water on the tire and yep it's got a leak. The guy tells me 6:20 PM and I was out of there at exactly 620. FREE, 2 nails... Everyone in there was really nice even the customers. The bathrooms are clean. The place is immaculate. This is going to be my new place. I'm never going to Escondido again.

Only 2 pieces of metal out of many more I found on ground
Jeanette G.

I'm disappointed to write this because I've had good experiences here before. I came in Tuesday at 1 PM after finding a large piece of metal stuck in my tire, only four days after buying brand new tires. While at the shop, I noticed multiple chunks of metal on the floor. When I mentioned it, staff said it was their own materials that sometimes end up in the street, which is concerning. I was able to replace the tire, but had to repurchase the warranty. There definitely needs to be better cleanup and maintenance to prevent this from happening

They didn't add air to the tires

They were so quick in changing my tires! I didn't need an appointment. Walked in. The guy at the…read morefront was friendly and helped me. His name was Ben I believe. Price was $100-$150 cheaper than Discount and even Costco. They did suggest some other stuff to get done but weren't pushy about it whatsoever. I will return.

We've trusted Evans Tires for about 6 years for tire purchases, repairs, and rotations, and overall…read morethe service has been consistently good. The staff is helpful, and their tip about coming in on Thursday mornings for quicker rotations has definitely been accurate. When I purchased new tires back in November, they also pointed out wear and tear on my control arms, which I appreciated since my car was still under warranty. I took it to Honda for a second opinion and repair. My main concern is the lack of documentation. Each time I've come in for a tire rotation, I haven't been given any paperwork confirming the service was completed. As a customer, that's important--not just for tracking maintenance, but also in case any issues ever come up down the line. Since they are registered with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR), I would expect consistent invoices or service records for every visit. It would also be reassuring if they followed up on previously identified issues, like checking whether the control arm concern had been addressed. Overall, they've been a reliable shop for us, but improving communication and providing proper documentation would go a long way.

Pep Boys - Re-do to uniform, for all four tires, 2726 (dot)

I really would rather not give a 3 or lower rated review but something needs to be done with policy…read moreand business practices with car services here. And company wide dealings. So not to waste precious time and peoples' money. My adult kiddo brought in our mutual vehicle for a flat tire issue. Albeit they came in an hour or two before their closing hour. Malik handled the situation and said that the tire would need to be changed because of age of tire and cracking. As I was speaking on speaker phone trying to handle the situation & I specifically asked for the buy 3 tires & get one free. As they wouldn't honor our existing warranty in simply just honoring it for just the one tire. I was requesting that all tires be newer since they unbeknownst to me on our last replacement they put (older2019) on our '23 visit (yeah confusing) hence tire needs replacement because it's "old "bit. Uh you guys gave us older in the first place without explanation of those allowances/loopholes. I strongly requested 2026 and for them to be more uniform in its manufacturing DOT date...what they ended up sending our car home with was three 2023 and one 2024 tire. Jesse was the tech who installed and left the sealant gunk all over the already aged tires and rims. A rushed and poorly done install. Paperwork had bogus dot number of all tires 11112025 ??? Uh no not what we got. Mind you legally they can put tires almost 7 years old by DOT date. Did you know this? I didn't until this incident. Tho the tread and mileage was still under our warranty that we've had with them. We were duped. We've been repeating tire maintenance stemming from before and more on our recent visits...particularly in 2019 and 2023 when we've had prior tire replacements with this nationwide company. We had to put in a complaint alongside posting pictures here to clearly show what happened. Danial the manager handled the issue as promptly as he could and explained company allowances and the struggle with what comes from the warehouse that gets loaded to the delivery truck. Clearly they don't seem to follow a good quality control policy. They get what they're provided and those can be manufactured almost seven years ago. Sorry but putting 3-4 years old tires that just been sitting around aging in a warehouse or shop isn't giving me NEW tires IMO. We had to take an extra day getting them replaced with all tires manufactured mid 2026 Note the dot number means it was made a certain week of a certain year. I'm happy Danial called around and was able to produce what we initially asked for. I updated a picture of the re-do. The quality of installation was better the second time around but it should not require a manager to be present in order for a shop to function better and run smoothly for customers with valid warranties be honored. Danial was seemingly patient with me as I strongly expressed my needs for better resolve. He acknowledged my points were valid. So rating would be more along a 3.75 stars because if car warranties are not even checked or properly honored when tread and mileage was still within normal limits from the get go the manager and I wouldn't have had to come up with a rational and honorable resolution. I love deals especially if it comes with quality services. I prefer to get what you pay for and even tho you get one tire free it's still not cheap to maintain a vehicle.

Pep Boys in San Marcos is seriously lacking in customer service excellence. I scheduled a 9:00 AM…read moreappointment for an oil change on my 2009 RAV4. After an hour, the service manager recommended two front tires, a brake fluid exchange, a coolant flush, and an air filter package. Despite the mileage on the car, I agreed to the additional work, essentially rewarding their upsell with several hundred dollars in extra business. The reward for my cooperation was total neglect. Between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM, I watched my RAV4 sit untouched in the service bay. At 11:00 AM, the manager told me it would be "another hour." I reluctantly waited, only to find my car still aloft at noon--no tires mounted and no fluids changed. It was only after I voiced my frustration that the mechanics finally began to work. They seemed far more interested in hitting their vape sticks and jamming to blaring industrial music than completing a job for a waiting customer. I finally got my keys back 3.5 hours later. When I questioned the delay, the manager claimed that two tires and fluid exchanges is a "three-hour job." As someone who grew up working on cars with my Dad, I know that is absolute nonsense. In a professional shop with the right equipment, that work does not take three hours--unless, of course, the staff is lollygagging at the pace of a snail pulling a bobsled. What is the purpose of a 9:00 AM appointment if the vehicle is ignored for the first two hours of that window? I was billed the most, yet served last. The unprofessional atmosphere and the "distracted" nature of the technicians also make me question if safety-critical tasks, like my brake fluid and tire mounting, were even performed with the necessary precision. I have been a loyal customer of Pep Boys for years, but the appalling attitude and lack of work ethic at this San Marcos location has me rethinking that loyalty. You didn't just lose my afternoon; you've likely lost a long-time customer.
