I popped in on Saturday morning for an oil change - I also had low tire pressure in my back tire. They got me in right away. Oil change was great - there was a screw in my back tire - they repaired it with no extra charge - I also brought my wife's suv for an oil change immediately after - they took care of both vehicles within an hour or two - love this place and they did an outstanding job. I was looking for a new oil change spot that I can trust and I'm glad I finally found it. read more

I've now brought my truck here twice for quotes. First time, it was around $600 but I bought the parts for around $20 and spent about 30 minutes doing the whole job myself. Went yesterday for another repair and they quoted me over $1000. Took my truck to an auto shop down the road, which they were able to do the job for a little over $200. These guys are crooks- adding on way more than is needed. I would never recommend anyone go here, except maybe for the popcorn. read more

Great service and communication. Professional and quote accurate to what we were invoiced for. They were friendly and right on time servicing our car(tire sensors)at appointment time. Nice waiting area read more

If you want to get ripped off go there. I had a squeaky brake sound. They quoted me a price of $1,200 to replace ALL my breaks . My car only has 70,000 miles on it. I felt uncomfortable with the quote so I took it to another shop. All it had was a lot of dust build up on the front pads. The other shop blew the dust off and oiled the pads $92 . BEWARE OF LES SCHWAB THEY ARE THERE TO TAKE YOUR MONEY read more

Best tire service in town. Friendliest staff. Always willing to help. From small flat repairs to getting a full set of tires. These guys don't miss a beat when it comes to customer service. read more

Great service and very friendly staff.Great value for your service.Taken in promptly and coffee was good.

I was in a pinch and needed a special tire. Not only did they help me out but they also put back my trunk that was torn up to get to the spare tire. I would strongly recommend not wasting your time at other tire spots and just go to Les Schwab Tire Center. read more

Just left there after getting 4 new tires and an alignment. Financing was a breeze through their site and the service was quite prompt and very courteous as well. I loke this business because while others are comparable price wise, they don't offer brake service nor alignment and THIS business does! read more

This is an amazing tire shop.They are always professional prompt and knowledgeable about their work.The prices are good also they definitely deserve what they charge.They always explain what they did .Willing to answer questions about their work and your car.Despite being they never rush you to get to another car. read more

Hey Schwab, Got to give you props. Had a hole in my tire, came to you and you took care of it. Free of charge. Guy who helped me was professional and pleasant. I like how you work. Good service and free tire fix? It left me feeling all warm and fuzzy and saying.. next time I need a tire or some work done I should come here. Thanks for fixing my tire. I'll be sure to keep you in mind for my next tire need!! read more

Every single time I bring my car in I am impressed with the professionalism and the efficiency in which they service my vehicle. This morning I dropped in without an appt to get new tires for my Lexus. Immediately, I was shown 3-4 options of affordable tires. I chose the tires I wanted and within minutes my car was on the rack being serviced. Not only is the service here great every single time, they are also kind and honest. They never try to up sell me, which is refreshing. I guess if you are honest and provide great service you don't have to try to take advantage of people because you win their loyalty by virtue of the great service you provide. I recommend Les Schwab to anyone looking for tires, brakes, alignment, and suspension issues! read more

The girl at the front desk, America, is rude and should not be in customer service. She had "stank" face the entire time, was not pleasant to talk to and could tell she was mad at the world. She will ruin your business management. Please fire her and find someone meant to help your customers. The guys outside were welcoming and got my tires checked with no charge. Every other employee there was helpful and with good attitude when helped outside but the minute I entered, I was turned off as a customer wanting to make a purchase. I will return and speak directly to the guys outside and hope to make a purchase with them and avoid the inside sadly. read more

Needed an alignment today after a four new tire purchase from Costco. Got to Les Schwab (Merced, CA) before 11am Saturday morning. I was thinking this would have been plenty of time to get a four wheel alignment done before they closed for the day at 5pm. The response that I received by one of their service technicians was that they were too busy and that he did not think that my car would get done by the end of the day. Hmmm...and yet other customers were being helped as I was seeing their service orders being written up. Maybe it was because I wasn't buying tires from them? Does Les Schwab give preferential service to those who spend the $1000 with them over my $120 alignment? Not sure, but I'm never going to Les Schwab for the way I was treated. I phoned a business less than a mile away and their response was super. They got me in and done in about an hour. If you are ever in Merced and need a tire alignment after buying from Costco, go to West Coast Tires & Auto...you won't be disappointed. read more

Don't get your brakes done here. I got mine changed - new pads and rotors - and they've been squeaking ever since. Took it in twice and it didn't get fixed. Was given a refund because I don't have any more time right now to deal with it but it still sucks I have to hear my brakes squeaking every time I stop. It's the worst. read more

Highly recommend Les Schwab of Merced. I take all of my vehicles here. They are honest and reliable. They are not the cheapest place in town but you save big time in the long run. They honor their warranties and don't suggest unnecessary repairs. They will check you car for free and then give you a honest appraisal. This is the only brake and tire shop in town that I completely trust. Plus you can relax in comfort watching TV , charging your phone at the charging station, eating popcorn and drinking coffee or coco for free as you wait. And if you want, Starbucks and The Dollar General are right next door. Heck, Playhouse Merced is across the street, go see a great show while you wait. This is a fantastic business. Get your tires and brakes done here. read more

April 24: I brought my 24' Class C Rv to Les Schwab for a flat repair on the inside dual passenger side. The service Brandon and his crew provided was about as good as it gets. They determined that the valve extension needed to be replaced as well as the tire vavle. They went to extraordinary lenghts to make sure my rig was ready to hit the road. The best part? Despite my attempts to pay my bill, they insisted on comping the repair. JUST OUTSTANDING SERVICE, Thank you! read more

Let me start off by saying I would give 10/5* stars if I could!! Let me explain... I got time today!! On Thursday (April 13th) I replaced the struts and shocks on my GMC Acadia. Immediately I researched the least expensive place to take my car to in order to get a full alignment done. The best price I could find was Pep Boys ($100)... So on Friday (April 14th) I drove to Pep Boys to have the alignment performed. I was "helped" by the rudest "customer service" agent named Hernan C. (See attached photo) who immediately told me, "I'll contact you as soon as I know what parts you need" which I found interesting since I wasn't aware, and neither was he that I needed parts... I was there for an alignment. Two hours later, Hernan C. Called me to let me know a plethora of things were either missing or needed repair and oddly enough by his notes "both" at the same time, which doesn't make a bit of sense... for my vehicle before an alignment could be performed... to the total of $1,802.00!! See attached photo. I informed Hernan C. NOT to touch my car and I would be there immediately to pick it up! Fast forward to today, April 18th... I had an appointment with Les Schwab for the EXACT same thing... an alignment... before I spent $1,802.00 as requested by Pep Boys, you better believe I was going to get a second opinion!! I notified the very nice and polite (female) customer service agent at Les Schwab that the GMC might need a few new parts that may be damaged or missing and if that was the case to please call me with an estimate. She obliged and told me that she would do just that. About an hour later I received a telephone call from Les Schwab stating that my vehicle was ready for pickup and that there was NOTHING damaged and NOTHING that needed to be replaced!! HERNAN C. from Pep Boys in Merced,CA was lying and made up damaged and missing parts to try and get over on me to the tune of approximately $1,700.00 of unneeded and unnecessary part and repairs!! I'm actually disgusted and will be contacting the Better Business Bureau tomorrow regarding Pep Boys criminal business practices. It's no wonder they were sued years ago for this exact reason to the tune of millions of dollars!! I am so thankful for honest people like Les Schwab and I encourage EVERYONE to do two things... 1) AVOID the criminal enterprise which is Pep Boys, and Hernan C! 2) Take your vehicle to Les Schwab as they are friendly, reliable, reasonable, and honest! P.S. I am including 4 pictures... the first two are from the Pep Boys criminal enterprise, and the second two are from the honest and reliable folks at Les Schwab!! Please be aware that they are for the EXACT SAME JOB!!! Thank you Les Schwab and HOW DARE YOU Hernan C and PEP BOYS!!! read more

Les Schwab Tire Center - Ultra Butcher rims & Back Country tires. - Tires Near Me - Merced, California

We were traveling from Orange County to Sonora and got a flat on Highway 99 that shredded our tire. We had to spend the night and visit a tire shop in the morning. We came here and Bob was very helpful and friendly. They got us in and out within an hour and back on the road. Thumbs up! read more

I have always had great service at Les Schwab. I wish I would have waited for chrome rims to be found. I went to Noble Motorsport they installed wrong rim and will not honor their mistake. Stay here great place. Love this place read more

I left my car there for 3 hours (even after closing time) for them to just end up airing up my tire. They tell me my wheel is bent and I need a new one but did not offer to replace it. They didn't even tell me if they did or didn't have my type of wheel, I had to find out they didn't replace it by checking the printed report/notes after I already left. The front desk lady made it sound like it was replaced and was quickly finishing our conversation so they could close. Ridiculous and disappointing. Very inconvenient and now I have to go find another place to fix my wheel before I go back to work. read more

I had an EXCELLENT experience with Les Schwab Tire Center's Manager Bob today. He greeted me right away and said he could help me even though they were nearly closed for the day. I needed a slow leak fixed and some reprogramming of my tire pressure sensors, and he kindly took care of me right away! During the visit my remote key fob battery died and delayed him and other employees from leaving for the day. One employee even drove over to the auto parts store to grab a battery for my key fob. I am a customer for life now! And I am a car guy, so that means a bunch more tires and service from this GREAT TEAM & Company. Thanks again Bob. Brian Toel read more

If you actually want work done and your vehicle back DONT go here. This BS place had our truck from 8AM -5PM DID NOTHING just for me to have to call them (because they were closing) to find out why I hadn't heard anything about my vehicle, for them to tell me that they didn't do anything. And made up some BS that the truck needed work done before it could get an alignment. (We had the truck checked and there's nothing wrong with it) I highly DO NOT recommend this shop. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else read more

Quick easy service, and they handled my ride with great care! Got a simple alignment done that was spot-on! IDK the alignment Tech's name, but he clearly knew what the heck he was doing! Thank you! I'll be back! read more

We got flat tire due to a screw when we were at Yosemite. None of the service stations wanted to fix it as it was too close to the edge. Moreover the tire was not in stock to buy. And we and had to drive back all the way to LA. The Hyundai service associate suggested Les Schwab Tire Center. These guys are lifesavers!!! Not only they were able to fix it, but they did it within an hour and COMPLEMENTARY!!! They didn't even accept the tip! Thank you so much!!! I will recommend everyone to check Les Schwab Tire Center for any tire and oil change service needs. read more
