Great customer care, plenty of different tire brands to choose from, and timely service! The…read moreservice manager, Joshua, has been very helpful in getting me the best tires for my car within the budget I was happy with! Joshua is a great asset to this local Firestone store in Santee! Very friendly and knowledgeable guy who always goes the extra mile to help customers! I wish him all the best and hope he gets to stay at this Santee store (92071) for years to come! He was able to get the best tires at the price, which I was totally happy with for my 2014 blue Mustang!

The Good: Points for being fast. I replaced four tires and got wheel alignment for a little over…read moretwo hours. Some understanding during our communication when I pointed out a price discrepancy. The Bad: Nickel and diming. I've been going to Firestones since 1999 and every location I've gone to just applies all the active, applicable coupons. No games. It's why I've kept coming back even though the prices have steadily gone up (it's gone up to $270!). This location did not do that. I bought 4 destination tires, which has a coupon for a $70 discount. Because I spent over $600, another $100 was deducted. Because I bought the wheel alignment, there was a coupon for a $40 discount. Total discount: $210. Josh initially applied only a $40 discount to the tires. When I showed him the $70 coupon, he was about to say something but ended up just applying the the $70 coupon. He then indicated that he applied the extra $30 off. When I picked up the car, I was told I would get an email with the invoice and Josh indicated again that the extra $30 was applied. The following day I called for the invoice and saw the invoice only reflected $180 off. I called Firestone and spoke to someone who put me on hold for about 10 minutes then transferred me to Josh. When I pointed out the discrepancy, he stated that he applied the extra $30 discount by removing a TPMS Valve Kit charge, which was $30. There was no reference to this TPMS Valve Kit Charge on the invoice. I told him that this was not reflected anywhere on the invoice and asked how a customer would know that there was an accurate deduction when there was no reference to this charge that was removed and instead said a $180 discount was applied. When I asked why he applied the $40 coupon instead of the accurate $70 coupon, he did not have an answer and just said he would send a different invoice to show what he did. Josh then emailed a separate invoice that looked like it was made on the spot that applied two "PRT-DISC Customer Expectation Discount (Promise not met)" discounts totaling $140 and the TPMS Valve Kit Charge for $28 ($7 for each tire), which was not discounted and therefore made the invoice $30 higher. I thanked him for the explanation but noted it caused me to waste my time because he never explained what he was doing in the shop or on an invoice and I, instead, had to call because it looked like I had been cheated $30. He replied that he hoped he would get the benefit of the doubt that he was being honest and I responded that this isn't a reflection of my thoughts on his character but no one gets the benefit of the doubt. We're strangers making a transaction, this is why invoices exist. He then said he had to do it this way because could not apply the correct $70 coupon because he had already entered the $40 coupon in the system and that he went above and beyond for me. I explained he didn't do anything more than he was supposed to do: apply the applicable discounts and accurately process the transaction. If we're being 100% accurate, he didn't do these things or even explain what happened until I called, which is why I wasn't happy with the experience.

The value here is how the shop acknowledges the vehicles issues and repairs it with precision like accuracy. Long story short, "brakes lines don't need to be flushed unless all brakes are replaced first, it's a waste of money."

That means I could walk across the the street or drive 15 minutes to Phantastic Auto Repair and I choose to drive; Peter takes care of my Ford F150, my Toyota 4Runner, my son's Mazdas and Subarus and every time, does an amazing job for a reasonable price. It is not super convenient for me, but the benefit of having an honest, competent guy far outweighs the cost of time and hassle to drive my car there. BTW, my kids bring their cars from downtown SD b/c you can 100% trust Phantastic Auto Repair!!!
