We got a flat tyre on our way back to LA, they were open on a Sunday (thank goodness) and Monique gave us excellent service, they changed our tyre valve and were fast and explained everything to us clearly. Really appreciated not getting upsold on anything and Monique was professional and friendly throughout. I really felt I could trust the service there, no one was patronizing or 'mansplaining' the car to me- just nice normal friendly interaction which isn't often the case. Excellent service 5 stars! read more

I took my car to Firestone for an oil change on 3/18/13. (I know that seems like a long time ago, but it is relevant.) Not long after I dropped it off I received a call from them stating that I had a nail in one of my tires. They could repair it for me for $30. I figured they already had it, may as well fix it then and agreed to the charge. I mentioned this to a co-worker in passing and she asked, "Did you actually see the nail?" I hadn't. "Then how do you know that there really was one in your tire?" I thought it was a good point. I silently kicked myself for not checking first. Flash forward to this past Friday 2/7/14. Again, I dropped my car off at Firestone for an oil change. 2 hours later my phone rang. I knew what was coming: "Your left rear tire has a nail in it. We can fix that for you... for $30." "No, I do not approve ANY charges other than the oil change." My office is a block away from Firestone. I was there in literally three minutes flat. "You just called me. Show me the nail." Instead I was shown a white circle on one of my tires supposedly indicating where the nail USED to be. I was told they had already removed it and it wasn't leaking after all. "No charge." I do not have proof that Firestone employees tried to charge me for non-existent nails in my tires. That being said, I do genuinely believe that is what happened. After these two personal first-hand customer experiences with Firestone I will never give them my business again, nor would I recommend them. read more

I called up and was able to get an appointment same day for a great deal of 2 new tires, an oil change and some other things. The manager was fantastic. Everyone was fabulous, definitely coming back!! read more

Came in for an oil change the other day. Bad customer service. Poor management. The front worker was on her phone the whole time while the other mechanic looked like he was struggling for help. The shop looked like a mess. I don't think I will continue to use them for car services. Would rather spend the extra dollar at a dealership. read more

I go to Firestone because I bought their lifetime front end alignment. Awesome deal. Pay once and get your alignment for n/c for the life of your car. While there I had a tune up done. They were friendly, informative, the place was clean, and they finished on time and on budget. Great experience. read more

10 year Firestone customer will NEVER return to this location on California St. due to Dale the manager. Beware of this shop and his arrogant tack ticks. I'll be brief. 2 months ago I visited this location to purchase 2 tires. He only has 2 in stock. Dale automatically added all the coverage's with out explaining them and justified this by saying he though I wanted them. (Check you invoice!!) insult #1 It was raining and so It was a week before I was able to wash the car then I notice the unexpected. His tech used a hammer and a screwdriver to remove the balanced weights Not only did he scratch my wheels, he heavily gouged them from the center to the face. If you had your car here form Feb 2019 to March 2019 CHECK YOUR WHEELS!! I contacted Dale and had him inspect them. His initial response " Are you sure you didn't do this?" (Insult #2) I shrugged it off and assured him my wheels where spotless until his guy worked on them. After 3 days and not one phone call, I finally got a hold of Dale and he mentioned he fired the guy who damaged my wheels because he caught him using the wrong tools on another customers car but never apologized for his arrogant accusations. He then proceeded to give me an address for a company in Camarillo who only works M-F 9-5. I explained to Dale I work in SB and 5-4 Pm and cannot make those hours. Here is his proposal: You and your wife Rush through traffic at 4:05 PM on the 101 to drop off your car then drive all the way back to Ventura to get your rental car because he will not pay for any other location. To show my willingness to work with him, I propped my 50k car on jack stands in garage, making my wife and toddler to deal with rain and cold weather for 1 week while I delivered the wheels to Dale so that he can get them repaired. I also offered to pay the difference in cost to simply replace them to put this ordeal behind us. He refused. The results: they simply repainted the black wheels but did not repair the gouges. Dales response, sorry I'm upset and we will need to do this all over again. In good humor I stated after this is all done im sure we will be good friends, His exact words " that or I'm going to shoot you" yes word for word. I filled out the Bridgestone, and have not heard back for Dale nor anyone in management. Take my advice and check your wheels, as for me I will never return to this store again. read more

I moved to downtown Ventura about a year ago and figured I would start taking my car in here for oil changes and tune ups since I can just walk home or downtown while it was getting fixed. Not only is their location perfect for waiting around but their staff is friendly and efficient! Monique always greets me with a smile and is so very helpful with my car problems, getting me in and out every time I come with troubles. They have great service, great warranties, and a great staff. I will continue my business here as long as I am living in the area! Keep up the great work! read more

We were traveling though Ventura and noticed a nail in our tire. It was 5:30 Pm on a Sunday. They agreed to help us out and got new tires installed in around a half hour--we were in a time crunch. They were really wonderful! Thank you!! read more

Don't go here for alignment or oil changes. Chose this location because it had more stars than the Oxnard location, and I was wrong in assuming I would get better service. Everything started out great everyone at this location is extremely friendly can't say a single bad thing about customer relations. I spent 2 hours getting my oil changed and alignment done on my 2014 SUV. I got a call to pick up my car and when I arrived I paid for the services I requested and I was given some paperwork on what they did to my vehicle. No explanation of the services was given. As I walked out of the store I realized I was not given the before and after results of the alignment service. I walked back in and was greeted by a different employee would hand me the paperwork, she stated that my alignment was good and no adjustments were required. I took the paper smiled and thanked her because I believed her. I got into my car and drove off a satisfied customer until I got home. I looked over the paperwork and realized that toe, camber, and caster were all out of specifications, I checked my dash cluster and also realized that my oil life indicator stated 9% oil life. I immediately called the shop and was told that alignment was done and the technician remembers making the adjustments and ensured me that my vehicle was within manufacture specs. I asked them why I was told earlier that no adjustment was required? And I got a confused and unbelievable response. I asked for an appointment to come back the following day to ensure my alignment was within specs and they obliged my request. I was offered a free oil change on my next visit for my inconvenience, but only after I asked. The next day I arrive on schedule and explain the situation to the manager. He said he knew nothing about my issue and apologized for the inconvenience. He issued a business card with a handwritten note stating I was entitled to a free oil change. An hour later I was given the paperwork on my alignment and most of the numbers was within specification. The manager stated that they could not adjust the camber because they didn't have the tool to do it. He said that it was possible that another store might have the tool but made no attempts to call to see if any of the other local fire stones had the tool. I left with the understanding that the tool was a manufacturer tool and that the dealer would have to adjust the camber. I made my way out the door and the technician was parking my vehicle. He went over the alignment and told me the camber was out of specs and that it required a tool that he didn't have. He then went on to say that he was retiring in a year and that he was not going to buy that tool. I was taken aback because I was getting more contradicting stories. The technician then gave me instructions on how to reset my oil life indicator, just in case they (Firestone) are in a rush and forget reset it. I hope to god they're not in such a rush that they forget to put the drain plug back, or actually replace the oil filter. It seems that if they have the tool in the box they'll do the work, and if they don't they'll just charge you for it and say one of four responses; your alignment didn't require adjustment, your alignment was adjusted and is now within specs, your alignment is within specs except for one or two areas because it requires the manufacturer to adjust it, or I'm not buying the tool to do the job you paid for! Extremely dissatisfied with my experience at the location. read more

The location was super-convenient... good thing- had to coast into the lot and walk home. The after-hours drop stuff was easy to find and fill out. You may want to take your own pen, I can't remember if they had any with the envelopes. The issue not likely caused by the oil change I got the day earlier. Still, annoyed that the tech notes were not mentioned before I authorized the work. Was told there was a bad thermostat, that would explain the motor running hot. Was not told the motor was misfiring or about the white smoke coming out the tailpipe. Had I known, I probably had all the work done at the same place- Firestone can't handle a head gasket (the smoke/misfire...) Could probably have paid for the diagnostic at Firestone and saved some $ having all the work done at the same place. In their defense, they repaired the thermostat... so I gave two stars, for the tech. The customer service guy dropped the ball, not the tech's fault and the work seems okay. read more

Really friendly techs who give good advice. I wrench on my own vehicles sometimes and it's nice to be able to talk with the techs about the work they're doing. Good prices and they're real quick at this shop. read more

Came in from out of state and wanted them to check my tires are perform a balance and rotation. They could have squeezed me in as a walk-in appointment later but I made an appointment for the following day. They took me a few minutes early when I arrived the next day, and quickly executed the job while I was sitting in the waiting room digging on their free Wi-Fi. Super nice dudes and friendly enough. Since I purchased the tires from another Firestone, I was extended a free balance and rotation service. I'd come back again for sure! read more

Hit a pot hole pretty hard, knew my alignment was off. Came to this Firestone to have it done. After waiting a while, they put it on the rack... and said there was nothing they could do about the rear camber being way off. I told them I had adjustable rear lower control arms, and that I would literally show them how to do it. Their service manager went back out, spoke to the tech for a few minutes, then came back and said, "If the computer doesn't show us how to do it, then we can't do it." I was 2 hours in at this point so I was a little annoyed. It's as simple as turning a ****ing bolt. Took my keys, drove off to the Firestone in Oxnard, and had it done in an hour. No drama. Thank god I have lifetime alignment. read more

Came here today after calling in for a quote! Left amazed and happy. Even though they were slammed packed and short staffed they were still able to assist me and get my car an oil change. Definitely would come again for further services. The guy, Riley, at the front desk was super helpful and friendly. Helped me get exactly what I needed without pushing other services on me like most places would. Thank you! Great prices and great services read more

Rude, argumentative, and lazy. Folks, if your vehicle requires any slight amount of technical knowhow greater than the minimum of what a part-time Jiffy-Lube monkey could handle then stay away. Otherwise be prepared to be treated offensively -- it's how these people cover for their incompetence. Also be prepared to weather a bad attitude if you dare to arrive slightly before your appointment time on a slow Monday morning. It's a pity since this was our go-to service shop in Ventura. But today I no longer feel welcome at Firestone. read more

Riley up at the counter was spreading lots of positivity and the mechanic (can't recall his name) was extremely good at what he does and takes pride in his work. Great experience! read more

I had a rental. The battery failed. They politely and efficiently worked with Enterise in Ventura to replace it for me. "Old School" service!! Joe Blaylock read more

Made 8 am appointment. Waited 4 hours for my vehicle to get tires rotated Oil change. That was with an appointment. Very slow!!!

From the moment I called to make my appointment to the moment I paid and receive my keys back- Riley provided phenomenal customer service. He was kind, thoughtful, positive, and knowledgeable. Both my husband and I were so pleased because the customer service we were provided through Riley exceeded our expectation. We won't ever go to another Firestone, this one was the BEST! read more

Dale was super friendly and helpful today. We are from northern ca moving down here looking at houses. Just got new tires on the 300 Chrysler. Noticed a nail in one of the tires. Found the local Firestone and Dale took care of us right away even though he had a bay full of cars. He checked and the tire was under warranty so no charge either. When we buy and relocate in Ventura thus will forsure become our Firestone. read more

First honest auto place I have encountered ; refreshing. Professional, courteous and friendly. I went there for 4 new tires but they found the real issue and fixed it free of charge. Most places would have gladly charged for tires or at least the time it took them to inspect and fix the rim. I will be going back. read more

Website says they open at 7AM. There are no hours posted on their front door. Three different customers arrived Monday at 7AM. An employee arrived at 7:25AM but went inside (w/o mask), locked door and didn't say anything to us. We called but no one answered phone. One customer gave up and left at 7:45AM. The second customer had to go to work and left at 7:50AM. We gave up and left at 7:55AM. read more

Just wanted to give a quick shoutout to these guys! My truck took a dumped right on california street so i pulled into the firestone just before they were opening. I knew how to fix the problem and they allowed me to take up a spot and work on the truck. with theyre help i was back on the road again in 5 min. Big thanks for their patience and help, especially so early in the morning! read more

I have waited a few weeks to write this review because I realize that everyone is entitled to a bad day, a mistake or just outright blowing it. I also like to evaluate my own state of mind before I blow my top. I've decided that this situation was in fact to egregious to let pass and I wish to ensure that any other woman dealing with Firestone is forewarned. I made an appointment with Firestone for an alignment on the recommendation of Motion Tires after replacing all 4 tires and having completed the week before a comprehensive tune up and oil change at the dealership. I arrived 15 min. ahead of time and informed them that I would walk to a friends shop on California while the work was done, giving them 2 phone numbers they could reach me at. I was told my vehicle would be ready in approximately one hour. 1 hour came and went, then 2, and 3 at this point I thought to call and see how much longer it would be. Imagine my surprise to find it not only ready , but it had been ready for hours, and they were very sorry they left a message on my home phone even though I was obviously not at home and had given them the numbers to reach me. And as if that was not enough, I was told that I needed nearly $2000.00 worth of repairs (on a vehicle that had just undergone major repairs) said with a straight face. Needless to say I took my auto and the next day returned to the dealership (whose head mechanic is family) to show them Firestones evaluation and have those items checked. My car was fine, other then my tires being put on inside out and the fact that I am highly dubious about if an alignment was ever done, because I am still feeling a distinct pull to the right when breaking. read more

Fast, reliable, dependable, and the customer service from the young man there today was outstanding. I dropped off my van on my way to an appointment and they called me back quickly to give me input on repair details. Will be returning for next check up. read more

AMAZING service!! Staff is so friendly and nice. I originally went there to purchase a new tire for my Civic. All my other tires were firestone so i wanted them to match.. They quoted me $118 for a tire like my others but with a longer tread life while big brand tires quoted me $136.. both with taxes included.. I was beyond ecstatic that firestone took me that day and finished in about an hour although there was a few people still ahead of me. I wouldn't have been able to get my tire fixed until the next day with big brand. Firestone is quick efficient and generous. They included a complimentary inspection/topped off all my fluids. Included a warranty all all four of my tires not just the new one i had purchased.. They are amazing, once my Honda Car doc package is over i will def be returning here for all services they provide.. CHRIS AND JIM are spectacular! read more

I love this place. I last was here last year when I came to get a pair of new tires for my toyota prius. I was greeted by super friendly staff and they recommended to me the best tire for my needs. They informed me of a promotion of 0% interest for 6 months on their firestone credit card and so I signed up for it and was approved and picked out 2 awesome tires at a great deal. I was told to come back in an hour as they had to put the tires on. I walked to Main st. which is the downtown ventura and walked around visiting other small businesses. When I came back, the tires looked great and I as informed of the warranty and all the bonuses of these new tires. I will be back when I need my next set of tires. read more

I've had my car for 6 years. Most of those 6 years I took my car to either a small-town mechanic, or Jiffy Lube. Having moved away from home, I found myself in need of a place to take my car, other than the dealership to get basic maintenance done on it. I was hesitant to take my car here. I didn't know anyone who had taken their car here, or what their prices were like. But it was close to home... and my car was about 6,000 miles overdue for an oil change. Since my first visit here for a basic oil change, I've been back for tires and another oil change as well. They fix what needs to be taken care of in a timely manner, and they'll let you know of any other problems, with no pressure to have everything fixed right away. They will however, keep you from driving off if your tires are so worn that the metal is showing through the rubber (My girlfriend didn't believe me when I said she needed new tires. thats what she gets :-p) read more

My car broke down in the street right in front of this shop early last week. They were closed but the manager was inside and helped me out. He got my car looked at first thing and kept me updated thru-out the day about my vehicle. When the problem turned out to be something they couldn't handle in their shop, the manager arranged for a trusted shop to pick up my car and start on the needed repairs. These guys are great and I wouldn't hesitate to go there again! read more

We're on vacation... the van suddenly won't start. ... it's a Saturday and we have reservations in Paso for the next 2 days....we needed someone trustworthy, that worked on Sundays, & that wasn't too far from our hotel. Dale and his team not only filled all those criteria, but fulfilled his promise to have the car to us by the noon hr. Even when they hit a few glitches.. Dale called us to let us know EXACTLY what was happening AND he delivered just on time. Thanks Dale, for getting us on our way. Turned our frowns into smiles! read more

I've been coming here for 5 years now. They are always very thorough and I like that they make suggestions without being pushy to oversell services... read more

Firestone has my blessings. Between 2 locations in 2 separate states provided the best service I have ever seen a corporate company provide. I can't speak highly enough about them, and they have consistently been the only place I will get my car worked on. read more

The guys here are really nice. While we waited they made sure that we were comfortable. Facilities are nice and service was fast. They didn't try to over sell us which made the experience great. We are travelers, but I would come back for my oil change again. read more

Super nice place to get your car worked on! The staff are incredibly professional and kind. Awesome location in the heart of downtown Ventura so if your car is going to be getting worked on for a few hours there are plenty of things to do while you wait! Close by shops, restaurants and the beach all within walking distance! 5 stars! read more

I have been taking my cars and my friends cars to Dale and the crew for almost 20 years, they are fair and honest. They have taken care of a variety of cars and always do a great job. They can't do everything there - but they get you where you need to go. They have gone out of their way to help me at odd times when i have been running late. read more

Definitely coming back to this place! I needed an oil change and an inspection just to make sure everything was running smoothly. Monique let me know of the summer deals they were having. She did let me know ahead of time there was going to be a wait. I didn't mind, plus I kinda expected it since it was the weekend. Since the location is right by the beach and State Street there is things to do while you wait for your car. While checking in the car she suggested a local event (surf rodeo) I could attend while I waited for the car to be ready. Monique called me and let me know the car was ready. When I walked in she remembered my name and greeted me and my dogs. She explained the services the car needed throughly and answered any questions I had. Service was great! read more

Took my car in for an alignment. Purchased the lifetime alignment, what a deal! Paid one time and have alignments done for life! Monique was awesome and was very friendly and courteous. Told her I would be working for most of the day. Was kind enough even to send me a quick text message to let me know when my car was done and ready to pick up! Thank you to Monique and all the guys at Firestone. Go see them for your auto care needs! read more
