Mauricio happily singing while carefully working on the damaged rim. Such a nice guy!
Joyce M.

Wow! Best service by Mauricio and Fernando here, they saved my day!! - I had driven clear across California and had a flat tire before the trip, repaired at another shop, but apparently they had put the tire on OUTSIDE IN and crammed the rim causing a slow leak. Egads. We all had a rueful laugh about that! Mauricio carefully rotated my tire in a tire bath (first time I'd seen one of these!) and determined there weren't any nails or leaks. He also carefully polished and reshaped my rim, triple checked his work, happily singing all while working...seriously these guys are so nice, fun, and kind. I am SO glad I found such a great shop! Thanks Yelpers! If you're in need of tire care look no further; these guys will take great care of you, at super fair prices too! And check out the super cute chalk art too, I challenge you to find one like it in any automotive shop! They are the best!

Got a nail in one of the tires, slapped on a spare and took it here the next morning. Wasn't too busy for a Thursday morning. Super nice guys working here, they're fast and do a great job. While here for the patch, also asked them to do a tire rotation at the same time. I thought the price was reasonable considering inflation. I would recommend to those in need of a flat repair to come by.

Quick & affordable! Just left this spot after running over a nail. They fixed it in less than 30 mins for $20!

Big big hole

Noticed I had a nail in my tire, was there on a Sunday afternoon and was surprised how quick the service was.

Luke and his team are seriously the best. I came to them after another mechanic completely scammed…read moreme and made my car even worse. I felt stressed and taken advantage of. But the moment Luke looked at my car, he knew exactly what was wrong. No guessing, no games just honesty. He gave me a fair price, explained everything clearly, and didn't try to upsell me on anything unnecessary. For the first time in this whole situation, I felt like I was in honest hands. I felt respected and actually taken care of. They even stayed later so I could get my car done the same day, which meant a lot to me. Luke truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was fixed the right way. It's hard to find mechanics you can trust, but I definitely trust Luke and his team. I'll absolutely be coming back and recommending them to everyone I know.

do not get your car aligned at this tire shop the mexican mechanic that does the alignment uses a…read moreslide hammer to fix camber. yes a slide hammer. well it turned out that when he tried to fix my alignment with a slide hammer on the subframe he shifted the center of the subframe and shifted the control arms slightly towards the passenger side causing positive camber on the drivers side and negative camber on the passenger side and this put uneven pressure on the axels damaging both. the subframe being centered controls the camber alignment on vw jettas going all the way back to like 2006. the reason the alignment was off was because the strut was bent slightly on one side by using a slide hammer to shift the subframe that attaches to the control arms! he inadvertently gave more space on one of the axels and less on the other. this caused the axels to fail 3 months later. dont ever use tricks on german cars! maybe this works on japanese or korean or american not german engineering, you never ever should shift the subframe unless you know its off center. never use a slide hammer ever!!! this low level employee that should never touch a high performance car just bent all the tty bolts that hold it in place. now there is weaken control arm bushings, rattling, and axels that are on the verge of snapping!!! i saw the guy do it while i was paying. at the time i didn't think anything of it but 3 months later when i replaced the struts, the subframe shifted towards the passenger side throwing off the camber. i saw him use the slide hammer on the driver side, hammering in the direction of the passenger side. so it was obviously him. Mechanical Fact: You never try to force movement on a torque to yield bolt. Why? Why You Should Never Force Movement on a TTY Bolt 1. Risk of Bolt Failure or Breakage: TTY bolts are already stretched to near their yield point after proper torquing, making them less tolerant of additional stresses. Forcing movement--such as prying, hammering, or applying lateral/shear forces--can push the bolt beyond its designed limits, causing it to snap, fracture, or further deform. Unlike reusable bolts, TTY bolts don't "spring back" fully; extra force can lead to immediate failure or weaken them for future use, compromising the joint's integrity. 2. Loss of Clamping Force: The primary advantage of TTY bolts is their ability to maintain uniform tension. Any forced manipulation disrupts this, potentially loosening the bolt or reducing its hold. This is especially dangerous in high-load areas, as it could lead to vibrations, part separation, or catastrophic failure over time (e.g., a subframe shifting under driving stresses). 3. They Are Single-Use by Design: Once installed, TTY bolts should not be disturbed without replacement. Forcing movement often implies you're trying to adjust or remove the assembly without fully accounting for this, which aligns with why manufacturers specify replacement--reusing or stressing them risks inconsistent clamping and safety issues. Specific Risks in Your Subframe Example In automotive suspension systems, subframes are often secured with TTY bolts to ensure precise alignment and structural stability. These subframes connect to control arms, which maintain wheel camber (the vertical angle of the wheels relative to the road, crucial for handling, tire wear, and stability). * Damage from Impact Tools Like a Slide Hammer: A slide hammer delivers repeated shock loads (impulse forces) to pull or jar a stuck part free, often used for rusted or seized components. Applying this to a subframe while it's still held in place by TTY bolts is problematic because: * Shear Stress on Bolts: The bolts are primarily designed for axial tension (pulling force along their length), not sideways shear or sudden impacts. The hammering action can shear the bolts, strip threads, or crack the bolt heads/shanks, leading to immediate breakage or hidden fatigue cracks that fail later. * Misalignment of Suspension Components: Forcing the subframe can bend or stress connected control arms, bushings, or mounting points. This directly affects camber alignment--if the subframe shifts even slightly out of spec, it can cause uneven tire wear, poor handling, steering pull, or reduced stability at speed. In severe cases, it could lead to loss of control or accelerated wear on ball joints, shocks, or other parts. * Compromised Safety: Subframes support critical systems like steering, brakes, and engine mounting. Any forced movement risks creating play or instability in the chassis, increasing the chance of accidents, especially under dynamic loads like cornering or braking. Instead of forcing with a slide hammer, the recommended approach for stuck subframes professional alignment.
