    I beg you, DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE. I got into a car accident in late 2022 and was car hunting due to my new job requiring a car to commute to work every day. My parents and I were looking around the area for cars that were used but certified to save some money. After a week of searching, there were no offers that were particularly interesting so my mom informed me that Jax Auto had a car that was getting sold. We went there and the owner was super garrulous and did not let us ask too many questions at all. But, we dismissed it as we thought that that was his personality. So we went and discussed with him about the car that was being sold and it's a nice car (for anonymity reasons, I am going to keep the car they sold a secret) but right off the bat, he said that there was something wrong with the motor in the seat and to wait for it to come in before we buy. We came back a few days after that and we also made sure to thoroughly inspect the car but alas, my mother and I are not mechanics so there was no way that we would have been able to spot all of the problems that the car had at the time. There ended up being so many things wrong with the car on the internals (no center console top storage due to it being held together with string, the sunroof never opened or was able to be opened because of the motor, actuators in the car acting weird and not locking or unlocking sometimes, and finally the radio didn't even work). After buying the car, I drove it home with no issues, but I did notice that the car was louder than it should've been. I dismissed this as the owner told us that there was an engine replacement on the car before they sold it to us so maybe the car was taking some time to get used to the new engine that just got installed. Around 2,000 miles after driving the car, the check engine light came on. I'm freaking out because the check engine light usually means something is wrong with the engine, exhaust, or catalytic converter. I go to them the next day and they say "Oh yeah we can just reset the check engine light, sometimes it does that." And I was like aight bet no worries. The check engine light proceeds to come on once every 2 months only to be "reset" with them barely checking to see what was wrong with the car. Fast forward to August of 2023 and I noticed some purple liquid spewing out of my car when I parked and went inside. I had to drive to Inglewood in the morning so I made sure to check to see if there was an actual issue with my car by going to Jax that day, but they were too busy to even have me park my car so I left haphazardly. If they truly had checked the hood every single time I had a check engine light, then they could've told me way in advance that my coolant was leaking (and it still leaks or is consumed way more frequently than normal. It's almost March in 2024 and I filled up more coolant 6 months later). It was because of their neglectful nature that they just were unable to properly diagnose the issue with the car and couldn't even see me that day. The day after, my car started smoking because it was low on coolant (again I had no idea because I didn't even know what the purple liquid was spewing out of my car and I had become "jaded" to the check engine light because they always told me it was fine so I just assumed that the car was fine). I drove to the mechanic nearest to my current location and they told me that a gasket had possibly blown and that I needed a new belt, alternator, battery, and radiator. I agreed and the cost was going to be about 1500 with all new parts. I called Jax Auto to tell them what happened and the owner told me to bring the car to him because he didn't "trust" any other mechanic and that he could get me a "deal" on the parts that needed to be replaced. I gingerly agreed and they worked on the car. 2 days later it was fixed and I went to go pay for it. The total ended up being over 1300. So some "deal" he cut me on the parts. He even had to call me again and say "Hey we need to replace this part sorry we just saw that it was broken." After repairs, the car worked flawlessly before the check engine light came on AGAIN 2 weeks after the repairs. I went to them and they said "Yeah we'll just reset it." I said, "Can you please actually look at the car this time". And they said "sure". They saw "nothing wrong" with the car and reset my check engine light for the 70th time. The check engine light came on again the following day. At this point, I was fed up with Jax Auto and with the car in general. I rushed over to a more renowned mechanic that I knew would not f**k up my car and they said that my catalytic converter was broken and needed to be repaired. Another 850 dollars later and the car is working just fine. Not even 2 months later my check engine came on for the nth time (I lost track at this point) and there was something wrong with my EVAP system and my condenser needs to be replaced. I BEG YOU DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can't say enough great things about Jax Auto. Jack is one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet, and between he and Calvin, we always know we're getting expert advice on what our vehicles ACTUALLY need, and at the most reasonable prices possible. Their work is always the best quality, and the prices are always more than fair. Even more valuable is the peace of mind knowing we can absolutely trust that we're always being given honest, necessary advice and that the work being done is of the highest quality. We've been frequenting Jax for around 7 years now, and in that time we have also purchased 2 vehicles from Jack when our old ones were in need of upgrades. It was such a stress-free experience because we knew the used cars we were buying were in tip-top shape and that the price was just what we were looking for. We are so thankful we gave Jax Auto a try all those years ago and we would never go anywhere else for our automotive needs.

    Ready to hit the road!!

    Just an update...After many years and several vehicles later, service and pricing still can't be…read morebeat! The crew is always helpful and friendly. A few month back, they advised me they couldn't properly perform an alignment because the tires on our car were too worn. Other shops might've just done the job with an "oh well"attitude. Even though the car was near needing new tires, I was not pushed to immediately buy them (that's happened with a different car at a factory dealer). Recently, I was researching new tires for my SUV and was offered a few choices. The differences and driving characteristics between Cross/SUV and LT tires was extremely helpful in my purchase decision. I highly recommend Anaheim Wheel and Tire!

When I got there they took me right away I had to leave cause I had work to do They called me in less than an hour to let me know that my car was ready My tire was actually fixed, when they could have told me that I had to replace it and charge me for a new one like most shops do just to increase sells. I call that honesty and integrity On top of that when I got there, the guy told me your car is ready to go and handed me the keys. When I asked for my invoice to pay for it he just said no worries it was easy to fix You're good to go That's real awesome customer service!!!! Thank you guys at Anaheim Wheel & Tire!!!!!

    After getting some shocks/springs installed on my truck, it was mandatory that I get an alignment…read more(as with any vehicle after doing suspension work). Being that my truck is lifted, I was referred to a few places that specialize in that field. This place being one of them. I requested a quote through the Yelp app and received a response very quickly. They (Bp Tires and Wheels) gave me their earliest availability as well as an unbeatable price (literally too good to be true) compared to the other places I reached out to. Without hesitation, I made my appointment. On my appointment day I arrived a few minutes early. I was greeted by the owner, who gladly helped me get checked in. Knowing that it would take about an hour I decided to hang out in the waiting area where there was a TV playing some automotive related media. Once the alignment was complete, the tech took my truck on a test drive to make sure everything was straight and solid. I had a chance to speak to the owner for a bit after the work was done. I learned that the shop is family owned, and that they're all car enthusiasts. Super nice dude. Customer service was excellent. I'm surprised how well taken care of I was for the price that I paid. I felt like it was necessary to leave a tip! I highly recommend this place for your alignment, tires, and wheels!

Along with getting an alignment which FOR ONCE I could actually tell the alignment WAS DONE PROPERLY at a shop. Can't tell you how many times I've had an alignment done and it just doesn't come out right. They really take their time to make sure everything is 100. Lionel was honest, made sure I actually needed what I was requesting to be done. No pressure, great pricing! That means a lot when you feel like you can trust a shop and that does honest great work! Thank you Lionel and his team for making my vision come to life!
