35 year customer. From when first moved to OC from the midwest while driving my Camaro to a Mazda RX7 Convertible then my 528-BMW & 740IL-BMW. Now 67 years young with a CRV Honda. I need to watch my $$$ more than ever as on a (ugh) tight budget. Grand Prix never disappoints. I was always treated like a queen even when driving my WORKER-BEEZ autos. Excellent pricing and family owned business. Today learned they are top of the AI search. Thank you, for everything. PS: If you view my posts are truly limited to ONLY making positive comments after a very long-term track-record customer. I posted GrandPrix on my www.citizen-media.blog - they are that great read more

These guys were great. From the team up front to the team doing the labor, everyone was efficient and friendly. Jake took care of the moment I stepped in the doors. He didn't make me feel like I was a dumb broad that didn't know anything about tires. He quoted me a fair price for what I requested. Which was for a tire/wheel swap and sensors. They got me in and out as quoted and the gentleman even left the tires and wheels nice and shiny. They made sure to torque down at the end. That was my final test lol, they passed. Thanks again for the quality service! read more

Grand Prix Performance - Wheel/Tire swap - Tires Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I want to leave a follow up review! Once again, Jake at Grand Prix was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to a cracked wheel I had on my car. He offered the most competitive prices and was quick to respond when I called for updates. I also appreciated how he suggested multiple solutions for my situation with varying pricing options. Highly recommend! read more

The guy who answered the phone tried to give me a quote of 800-1000 dollars to reset my dashboard another place in Newport did it for free, joke of a place if you're a women don't go here without any man. They will try to take advantage of you. I read more

I have been coming here for a couple years and recommend it. It is family owned for a long long time and they do a lot of work on high-end exotics and foreign cars so I trust them with my own. Very personable and a large nice waiting room to relax in. read more

Been going to Grand Prix for 38 years since my uncle took me as a teenager for tires. Been going here ever since, for service on Ferraris, Porsche and everything else. Recently dropped off a Tesla with a flat from a nail and still received the same care, attention, and great service. The owner Jerry was there, he is fabulous. If you want fair prices and great service go here. read more

I needed tires last minute, and the entire team at Grand Prix was incredibly helpful. Even on Christmas Eve, they were able to take care of everything and stayed late to make sure my car had new tires so I can drive safely with the rainy weather. Thank you Jake & Harry. I truly appreciate their dedication and professionalism. Top-tier customer service, I highly recommend them! read more

Great team of mechanics that you can really trust. I took my car here for tire issues and had a great experience from start to finish. I have two kids and they really were accommodating to my schedule and took extra time to explain everything. Family owned! Jake the owner is great, can't say enough good things. Look no further. read more

Great mechanics, you can trust. They won't rip you off like most dealerships do. They have never over charged me! read more

Wow, I'm sorry to write a bad review about any business and In fact this is my first. I've been using this tire shop for the past 15 years and remember how it was run when the owner Jerry, and his German shepherd King, were always around the front of the shop keeping an eye on things. In the past, when you walked in the front door Berge ( not correct spelling) would be standing behind the counter always ready to help you. My he rest in peace. Sadly that standard of customer service is gone. No staff at the front desk now to greet you. Let alone answer your questions. I felt I knew more than the tec who eventually took my order. I was then scheduled to come in the next day and have my tires installed. Arrived as directed and they took my car directly back to the shop and put it up on the lift. After starting it took just over 2.5 hours to finish. My vehicle literally sat unattended for over an hour before the technician showed up to complete the job. In the past it would take 1.5 hours tops for a straight forward tire install. In the past after they finished, they would take it for a test drive to be sure everything was good to go. Not any longer. In the past they would remind you about the free rotations and road hazard options available as a value add for their customers. Not any longer. Over all I felt like the place is no better than a local Costco shop. Not a knock on Costco being the cheaper choice but not what you expect from a premium priced shop. read more

I've been coming here exclusively since the early 90's. I loved the fact that it was a family business - and fondly remember great conversations with the owners about our love for our kids and dogs. The working crew was always really polite and helpful. And they still are. But I was really surprised by the disrespectful attitude of the young guy who seems managing the shop now. No excuse for his demeanor so I told him I'll never be coming back and that it is e tires because of his attitude. read more

Such an amazing crew of people ! I needed tires last minute and they delivered ! Checked everything out for me to make sure I was good and safe to go on the road . Communication was amazing . Price was great , especially compared to others around the area . I love that they are a family owned company . I definitely will be back ! I'm so thankful ! read more

This is not the place to go for tires. They fought over the tip and did not seem to care about getting me out in a timely manner. A tall bald man was yelling at the people in the back and I could hear him through the door. It was so unprofessional and made me very uncomfortable. They also charged significantly more than other places I looked at. read more

First time here and couldn't be more grateful for them. As a female it's always a little intimidating dealing with car things but I walked in and they were so helpful and friendly. Fixed my tire and I was on my way. Can't thank you guys enough. read more

Great service and best deals In town. Asked for A specific brand and they were able to help me right away. Jake is the man. Thank you B read more

Wow I love this place! First they replaced my flat tire, then I came back for the perfect tint. I can't wait to get a luggage rack put on top by Jake and chase! Efficient, reliable and really nice people running the company. Thanks boys read more

Service requested was all new tires and an alignment. The quality of service and merchandise was excellent. Jake was awesome, professional and very sweet. Grand Prix Performance has found a new customer for life along with future added family members. Linda Whitcomb read more

Rolled in thinking I had a flat tire. It wasn't flat but I had picked up a nail in the tire. They were so friendly. They took care of the tire and didn't charge me! What? That's right! They got me back on the road so fast, knowing I was in a hurry and on my way to a meeting. I will be buying new tires and wheels from Grand Prix! Thank you! read more

Grand Prix always delivers! Been going here for years and always the same. Great service, super knowledgeable, and pricing is good as well. Went in this morning to get my tires rotated and balanced. Jake calls and says the back tires are shot and I need new ones. Couple hours later all is done and they even made my scratched rim look like new. The best in the business! read more

The cream of the crop for tires. They can get stock very quickly and are fair as a family owned company. They do work on very high-end cars as it is obvious seeing the cars being worked on, and, seeing the caliber of the clientele walking in and out. A recent review spoke about "a bald guy yelling." That is Jake keeping the workers in line, staying on top of the workers to use common sense, and no slacking around with Jake. I couldn't find my tire lock but they had one available. Out of convenience I went to a tire shop a half mile away. I couldn't find my lock and they didn't have a lock. They lost my business, where as professionals like Grand Prix had locks for various cars. Grand Prix is a high-end tire company and their prices are fair. I'm not ever going to another shop for tires again. Grand Prix was referred by my car dealership. The key words are "performance," with high- end quality. read more

After leaving the gym in a parking structure one night, I noticed my vehicle was driving unevenly. I figured it might be the uneven pavement in the parking structure, but when I exited, I was alerted that my rear driver side tire pressure was very low. I was able to drive my car home and parked it. I called the guys at Grand Prix Performance the following morning and they were able accommodate me the same morning so I drove my vehicle to the shop. They performed a thorough inspection and reported to me that they found a small hole in the tire and that they could patch it. I was incredibly relieved and within 30min or so, they had my car all patched up and ready to go IMO these guys could have made a killing with having me purchase a brand new performance tire for my Porsche but they were honest and helpful. I can't speak highly enough of their professionalism, honesty and high ethical standards. I've brought my previous vehicles to them in the past and they've always been reliable and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them if you're ever in need of help with your tires. read more

I brought in my bmw because I needed help with the fitment of my new wheels and Jake has been awesome with helping me troubleshoot this project. Very fair prices and great communication. Chris, Walter, and the rest of the crew are great too. Thanks for your help guys, I'll be making Grand Prix my new tire shop for future purchases! read more

I would leave negative stars, but that's not an option. Went in for 2 new front tires. They managed to handle that but told us we need bushings too, that they would have to order the parts and to come back Friday morning. Asked for the grand total they said $460 Arrived this morning at 8:30 as instructed. Asked how long, was told no more than 2 hours but I'll see what we can do. After 2 hours and 15 minutes I asked how much longer? Was told "oh it's not easy job on this car, it's going to be at least another hour"! All the while I've seen 4 different customers come and go. The one manger, younger guy, bald head, was so rude about how it's not his problem things just take longer. I told him I understand that but what I don't understand is the lack of communication. If a problem arises they need to communicate. As I went back to wait longer, I hear said manager openly complain about me not liking to wait and how I don't understand I'm a hairstylist of 27 years, I get customer service and giving your client what they deserve and need. I let him know that I can hear him complaining about me and he said so I don't care! Now remember that total... my husband had already paid $390 Now I'm told I owe an additional $460. My husband is the most anal person I know and always gets all the info. It can be annoying sometimes. Well they just kept saying how my husband misunderstood them, and we still owed the total due. And the one manager that I spoke of earlier would not stop running his mouth on how it's not them it's my fault! I finally had to tell him to stop talking to me! The worst customer service I have ever had at a car repair establishment. Or anywhere for that matter. I highly recommend going anywhere else. read more

2 tires and alignment thanks Jake! Same day emergency much appreciated. Helped me out with my other car that was losing air in one tire as well. read more

I want to thank Jake at the Grand Prix Performance for going above and beyond hunting down the specific wheels I was looking for. I gave the same tasks to other wheel company. They wanted to satisfied me by cutting corners. I wasn't down with that! But Jake on the other hand took the time to listen and was very communicative. Jake tailored his customer service based on my needs. He is very dynamic. Because of Jake's efforts, I opted for more work that I needed done to my car. I trusted Jake's service. I rather give my hard working money to Grand Prix Performance because of Jake. I will be back for many more years like a man who only goes to one barber only! And it is well understood why!! read more

Professional, honest and great people . I stopped by to get an estimate. Best price around and no haggling. He was honest about me needing a tire rotation. I'll definitely be coming back read more

This was my first time going to Grand Prix Performance after a friend recommended I call them. I'm glad I did because my experience was incredible. They were very honest and walked me through what needed to be done with the service I requested. Everyone was so kind and friendly and they didn't try to overcharge me. Thank you Jake and staff. I will most definitely bring my vehicle back here! read more

I just had the BEST experience at Grand Prix with Jake!! Today was the first time I have ever stepped foot in their business. I've seen it for years as a Costa Mesa resident and only wish I had come here sooner. Prior to coming in today I gave my business to Big O on 17th street. I felt like Big O was usually quick and reasonable. Big O told me it was irreparable because of where the nail was. I was quoted $237.72 for a new non name brand tire, with no warranty that was their cheapest at the time. I have previous experience in the tire industry and knew that the nail was in a very repairable area. Thank God they didn't have my size in stock or I might have purchased it as I drive a lot for work and want to be safe. To their credit they did add air and check it out which I appreciate. Grand Prix not only repaired my tire saving me $237 plus dollars but I was able to get an oil change at the same time. My tires have a good amount of tread left and I appreciate the fact that they were honest, speedy and the price was RIGHT!! I will definitely be giving all of my future business to them and I highly recommend them to anyone!! Thank you Grand Prix and Thank you Jake!! read more

My sister got a flat tire at Mattys Patty's Burger Club so we walked next door to Grand Prix to see if they could help. They took her car key and handled the entire fix while we chatted with the older gentleman behind the counter (a plug and a patch). The guy who rang her up was wearing a really nice cologne and was easy on the eyes too. I know I'm not the one with the flat tire, but I thought it was a very fast and very pleasant experience. read more

Another home run from Grand Prix auto. Had a razor blade in my tire. They fixed it fast and no nonsense up selling with these guys, just amazing service always. Jake is the absolute best. Can't recommend this shop enough. read more

I would give this place six stars if I could. I was next door at Matty's Patty's getting a burger with my sister, and when we finished I had a flat tire! (The next day she did too- avoid the Matty's Patty's parking lot, it's full of nails.) It was 5pm, dark out, I was far from home and stressed. I didn't know if Grand Prix Performance could help me, since they seemed like an upscale tire shop, but they were AWESOME. They even got my car out of Matty's parking lot and took it over themselves so I never even had to drive on the flat! Within an hour my tire was patched and I was good to go. They made the whole process so easy and regularly checked up with me during the hour to let me know how everything was going. If you're going to get a flat tire, this is the place to get one near! read more

The only place you should ever go for tire & wheel service. Always a 5 star experience... and the coolest/nicest people around.

Chris is very helpful on deciding on tires and always giving best prices. Highly recommend this place. Support local read more

Buyer beware. Why is it so difficult to find a mechanic that doesn't try to get over on you? Called for an estimate for an oil change. Gave them exact specs of my vehicle (2014 Toyota Camry LE and full synthetic oil). Was quoted $50. Thought to myself...Wow...that seems a little low but hey, great for me. Come time to get rung up for it...$140. Got charged for 6 quarts of oil when my specs show 4.5 quarts will fill it up. Be careful when dealing with this company. read more

Grand Prix Performance - Tires Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

So last weekend i was on my way out of town on a long drive to the high Desert and my tire pressure light came on , pulled over put air and it went off again but this time i drove home .pulled into Big O tires and was met with a grumpy stressed out manager so i sat outside and waited .... Ended up leaving called my mecanic and he was busy so my hubs said take it to Grand Prix !!! So happy i did !! They were unbelievably nice !! The young man at the desk was so warm and friendly took my car right away and even had to unpack my trunk ( lots of stuff) put it all back in and repaired my tire ( i had a screw staple thingy in the tire ) and was on my way . Very very reasonable price too!!! I will never go anywhere else !!! Thank you boys!!!i made it with no trouble !!! read more

Took my car in there today and within 30 seconds of the mechanic being in my car he grinded my flywheel for a couple seconds, it was obvious the car was on, all the lights and clusters were on with the AC on, not to mention he was standing outside the car while it was running.. if this mechanic can't even tell if a car is on how am I supposed to trust his alignment job..? Strike #1 video of him grinding the flywheel https://youtu.be/mzE0TvVuMWU As he's grinding the flywheel in the parking lot I say to the customer service guy that shaves his head, within 10 seconds of it happening, did you hear that he just grinded the hell out of my transmission.. all he did was say, "Nice.." then smirked and laughed at the mechanic and walked away, didnt say anything else about it. Strike #2 video of him smirking and laughing, then walking away, https://youtu.be/mzE0TvVuMWU I wait in the lobby until they say the alignment is finished and pay for the service, I explained again the issue and they just made excuses, so I asked, where is the printout for my alignment job? They told me they didn't record the changes and didn't hook it up to a machine. I asked him, you have no proof of the work you just charged me for? They said no, then they had the gall to blame my mechanic for tightening the tie rods too much and that's why their alignment documenting machine didn't get hooked up.. Then 5 minutes later after I called BS he said it was actually because he rushed the mechanic, unbelievable. Strike #3 lied to me about the tie rod bolts being too tight as a weak excuse for their hand in shoddy work. As I'm driving back to my mechanic I notice that the car is now jiggling when I go past 40mph.. unreal.. the wheel balance isn't even correct anymore. its worse off than when i brought it down there.. The people here are unprofessional, sarcastic, and will screw your car and you around. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to this place.. They claim to be a "performance and professional" shop but what I saw here today was nothing short of people who claim to be professionals but aren't, on a customer service level and a actual service level, and that's not okay.. I left here today a very unhappy customer, I will never return for service, you'd be better off trusting the people at just tires.. In fact I'm going to go pay for a new allignment at just tires tomarrow, get the printout from them of the changes, and bring it down to grand prix just to show them all the work that needed to be edited after the hack job they did on my front suspension 24 hours later after a "certified alignment" just to prove to them that what they did to me today was not cool and honestly you should be sent to the BBB for pulling backdoor bs like this. Maybe it was a fluke? I don't know, well see what my mechanic has to say tomorrow when I get it back. I let him know when i dropped it back off that the grand prix directly pointed the finger at them saying it was their fault, It certainly wasn't jiggling on the way down there, there was no printout for the work allegedly done and now there's damage to my flywheel and suspension.. First impression looking like premium shop swag but pep boys level bs.. Here is the video of him grinding my flywheel and the guy laughing and walking off as i tell him whats happening.. not impressed.. https://youtu.be/mzE0TvVuMWU read more
