    Here is another one
    Aziza F.

    This place is garbage. They will scam you. I towed my truck there. They called a week later saying they inspected it and found several issues that need to be addressed. I decided to go over there only to find my truck was in the same place I left it,the same exact place I had the tow truck guy drop it off, in the parking lot. Bolts had not been touched. Nothing had been removed, nothing had been inspected. So this guy Joshua calls me and tells me a straight up lie. A little BS I supposed comes with the territory but to flat out make up a whole entire story? I wouldn't believe it myself if it didn't actually happen to me. To fabricate a story of a full inspection and diagnosis of my vehicle, is the most unprofessional, disgusting, despicable thing you can do. How would I know? Well my truck's wheel came off while driving it. In order for Joshua's tale of it needing a new axle shaft, bearings, etc. it would need to be taken apart. The half pieces of bolts that had sheared were still there, dirt on all bolts was undisturbed. No movement had been done whatsoever. First price he quoted was 2500 ok that's fine. I wanted the breaks redone on both back tires ect. Seemed legit. Then he calls a couple days later saying that upon further inspection it was discovered my axle shaft was damaged. And that he needs to order a kit which would now be 3800. I had already paid thousands of dollars in tow fees I wasn't about to go somewhere else. Luckily I decided to go on down there for them to show me in person what they had discovered during this "inspection" only to find they had not touched it at all. What business does this? Knowing that the majority of people aren't going to go to their shop to verify what they say. People need their cars so they will say fix it. Which I'm sure Joshua has gotten away with more than a few times. Guy should be fired. Complaints will be here, corporate, the manager, and everywhere. Not much gets me to leave a comment. But a liar and a scammer most definitely will. My suggestion to whoever takes their vehicle here, is to verify what they are telling you because I can guarentee you this isn't the first time. So for all you innocent people just trying to get their car fixed so you can get around, I'll be doing my best to make sure this is the last time, that people like Joshua at Firstone lie, cheat, and scam, their customers. Pictures are when I went, after getting the call about how they inspected it. There is no misunderstanding or miscommunication here. The FACTS are that they never touched my truck. They quoted me thousands of dollars for what they apparently found during an inspection that never happened.

    Just got my tire fixed. I want to give a big shout out to Ross. I went there right after I found out there was a nail in one of the tires. Since I was a walk in so I had to wait. There were 3 cars in front of me. It's getting late and the receptionist told me I might need to come back tomorrow. But then Ross went ahead and took my car in. Repairing a tire costs way less and takes longer time than just installing a new one. However Ross was so honest and suggested it could be just patched. I was only charged a small amount of fees. I and my family have been going here for many years and we really appreciate their honesty, services, and affordability. Also it's pet friendly. The pic is my dog patiently waiting with me while Ross getting the tire patched. Thank you Ross!!

    6/29/2026 - based on the reviews I was skeptical of the business since it had a lot of 1 stars or…read morewould have done zero stars to then 5 stars. My friend was here for a 7:30 appnt and I'm glad he didn't listen to me. He was keeping me up to date then I had to take him there before they closed to pick his daughter's car up. He went there for a brake fluid change, tire alignment and front struts replacement. Total was about $1900. It was 44% cheaper than El Cajon BMWs estimate. Tony and Angel were exceptional with communication. Seems everything at the moment appears good with the car and the repairs. Time will tell. I would recommend this place based on the only my visit there. 5 stars overall. The one item which is odd they changed the driver setting 1 to another setting which wasn't necessary. Have to figure out the right seat position. Why they would save a complete different position to fix a car and not manually adjust it. I'm clueless. Never had this before.

    100/10 would recommend! I had an unexpected hole in my tire this past weekend in which I was forced…read moreto get new tires on the spot. All other places were closed/closing and Angel was happy to stay open for me and special order the tires I needed to be fixed the next day. He even made space in the garage to keep my car safe overnight since I had to leave it there. He went above and beyond to help me out - great customer service. I'd drive 30 minutes just to bring my car here for service!

    Luis is a hero in my book. He is the person you want examining your tires (no other tire place)…read more All the staff is excellent here! Gerardo, how can I ever thank you for taking care of my flat tire? You did a great job. Gerardo even balanced the tire, ensuring a smooth experience. Steven called to let me know when my car was done. Luis found a nail embedded in the front passenger tire (not purchased here). Thanks to him and his astute eye, he prevented a major safety hazard. Luis handles each customer with care. I am so glad he is a caring person. Luis is a true professional in every aspect, as is everyone here. Thank you to Luis, Gerardo, and Logan for ensuring my ride is safe. I brought the car here for the first time. Very awesome crew. The evening before I brought her in, her tire pressure had dropped from 32 to 25 psi on the front passenger tire. I had thought it was overinflated it by the time I brought her in. In the kindest way, Jay explained the proper psi for daytime in the summer heat (to allow for expansion) Logan brought the tire pressure to be consistent on all four tires after the balance. This crew is hardworking, even when it is busy and in the summertime. Much respect to each tire mechanic. They work as a dedicated team. The team is unmatched. Thanks again to Luis and the crew for his help! In literally just two minutes he had troubleshot the tire after having quickly identified the culprit--the nail embedded in my tire! You can book an appointment online. Thank you, Costco Tire! Thank you to Jay, too, for his professionalism. Logan is great, too! Fantastic crew all the way around! Thank you to Costco Tire for accepting me as a new customer. Otherwise I would have likely had a completely different experience elsewhere. It wouldn't have been as seamless. Costco Tire saved me from potentially unscrupulous salespeople elsewhere. Luis and company saved me from possibly having to tow my sedan. (Luis and crew are respectful toward senior citizens and disabled patrons of Costco Tire. He is incredibly patient and yet efficient.) All the tire mechanics here are tops in my book!

    Absolutely horrible service…read more To be clear, I love Costco. But the tire center here is horrible. I set up an appointment and was told over the phone to expect the visit to take 30 minutes. When i got to the store, they bumped that up, saying between an hour and an hour and a half. 90 minutes later i still haven't heard from them, so i call to check AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED! They never gave me a call. They barely even apologized. Completely unacceptable.
