I have been having my cars serviced here for over a decade. Sam and his team have helped me keep…read moreall my older and newer cars working and running well. They have always been friendly, honest, helpful, and straightforward with their recommendations to me. Plus, if there is something that could potentially wait, they will ask me if I want to have the repair and maintenance done now for peace of mind and convenience, or wait until next time. I highly recommend them for their quality, service, and value.

While driving home, I noticed the front left tire rubbing against the fender liner, an issue that was not present before the service. I returned the next morning, May 14, 2026, at approximately 8:30 AM to explain the problem. The business owner became defensive and stated that he only removed the wheels and did not touch the fender liner. When I requested that the issue be addressed under warranty, he refused and said there would be an additional charge. I then agreed to pay to have the wheels returned to their original position, but he refused to work on my car and walked away. Throughout the interaction, the owner was disrespectful, condescending, and demonstrated poor customer service. I am escalating this matter to the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. ** Sam! I have no intention to scam you. I just wanted to have the issue addressed. I no longer have the interest in dealing with a person like you **

Big O Tires, Walnut Creek…read more 5/5 Stars A BREAKDOWN, A $900 ESTIMATE, AND A TEAM THAT RESTORED MORE THAN OUR CAR! You know what's worse than an unexpected car breakdown? AN UNEXPECTED CAR BREAKDOWN ON A SUNDAY! SIGH... Well, we now know exactly what it looks, sounds, and feels like when a starter decides to retire without giving two weeks' notice! And let me tell you, you'd be surprised how one little part can affect so many other things. We even had a charger that hadn't worked since we purchased the car, and wouldn't you know it, after the starter was replaced, that charger started working too! But let me tell you how we got there. Our car completely shut off, and despite multiple attempts, we couldn't get it jumped. Thankfully, some wonderful human beings stopped to help two damsels in distress. After exhausting our options, and with some guidance from the amazing folks at our neighborhood O'Reilly Auto Parts (they'll be getting their own review!), we learned that Big O Tires in Walnut Creek was open on Sundays. OPEN ON SUNDAYS! Already a point in their favor! We walked over and met Getty. WHAT A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING! We explained everything that had happened, including the symptoms we'd experienced and what the people who stopped to help had suggested. Getty listened, was straightforward with us, and explained that it sounded like the starter might be the culprit. Then came the estimate. $900! INSERT SHOCKED FACE RIGHT HERE! Now, nobody wants to hear that number when their car has unexpectedly decided to stop participating in life. But what I appreciated was Getty's honesty. He didn't sugarcoat the potential cost or make promises he couldn't keep. He told us that if we could get the car towed to the shop, his team could take care of it that same day. So we did! The car arrived around 11 a.m. AND BY 2 P.M., WE WERE DRIVING AWAY! But wait, there's more! THE FINAL BILL WAS $100 LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE! Not a hundred dollars MORE. A HUNDRED DOLLARS LESS! No price gouging. No unexpected charges. No attempts to sell us services we hadn't requested. Just honest communication, efficient repairs, and excellent customer service. AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT A WOMAN COMPLETED OUR REPAIR?! YES, MA'AM! I absolutely loved seeing a woman working in the shop and getting our car back on the road. She deserves recognition right alongside Getty and the rest of the team! HERE'S WHAT REALLY MATTERS TO ME. When your vehicle breaks down unexpectedly, especially on a Sunday, you're already stressed. You're trying to figure out what's wrong, how much it's going to cost, how you're going to get the vehicle to a shop, and whether someone can even fix it that day. The last thing you need is to feel taken advantage of. Getty and his team gave us the exact opposite experience. They treated us with honesty, compassion, professionalism, and respect. And THAT is how you earn customer loyalty. I've used Big O Tires in the past, but after this experience, the Walnut Creek location has officially earned its place as my first stop whenever we need automotive repairs. LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY GOT RIGHT! Customer Service: 5/5 Honesty and Transparency: 5/5 Compassion: 5/5 Repair Turnaround: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Sunday Availability: PRICELESS! OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 5/5 The combination of honest pricing, compassionate service, quick repairs, and Sunday availability is a recipe for creating a lifelong customer. So, if those are qualities you value when choosing where to take your vehicle, look no further than Big O Tires in Walnut Creek. AND TELL THEM WE SENT YA! Here's hoping you won't need automotive repairs anytime soon. But if you do, stop in and speak with Getty. HE'LL GET YA STRAIGHT! To Getty, the woman who completed our repair, and the entire team: THANK YOU FOR TURNING A STRESSFUL SUNDAY INTO A REMINDER THAT GOOD, HONEST PEOPLE STILL EXIST AND TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR WORK! You didn't just get our car running again. You earned our trust. And that is worth far more than a five-star review!

My car was shaking when I went over a certain speed and I thought I needed an alignment. I have…read morealways taken my car to the dealership for all service, but recently I went to Big O to repair a nail puncture and I was very happy with the service. This time I talked with Cody who said that I actually needed the tire balanced. (I didn't really understand if I needed all tires balanced or fewer than all four, but I didn't really care because I knew I wanted them all balanced.) I came back a few days later to get the tires balanced. Cody helped me again. The lobby was very busy and he was the only person working but he did a good job helping everyone as quickly as possible. I chose to have all 4 tires balanced at a cost of $25 each. I left the car and it was ready within a few hours as promised. No additional costs or issues. My car now drives super smooth! Although I see that there are a lot of negative reviews, my experience has been very different. After two experiences with this Big O Tire store I'm very happy with the customer service and the work performed. I would definitely recommend them.
