I was able to reach Juan…read moreand let him know what my friend was dealing with while not having a spare in good shape or any experience changing tires. He immediately got out to the I-5 south where she was located and towed her back to shop. He went and checked out the rest of tires and recommended changing out all but one tire as she just had a new one put on due to flat tire two weeks ago. We took his recommendation and he put three new tires on the car with sensors. He took it a step further and while test driving it he saw she had a problem with her turn signals so he fixed that at no charge. The price he charged us was extremely fair. I greatly appreciate Juan and the guys at American Wheel and Tires. Thanks Juan Adam Melissa and Marshall the pup

I took my car to NAPA to check the battery and alternator and my alternator wasn't holding charge. I had to take it to an auto shop but non of the auto shop had alternators in stock. So I went to AUTOZONE to pick up an alternator. Not once did anyone ask to check my car to see if I needed to get an alternator change or if something else was wrong with my car. I went to Guzman but they couldn't help me because the owner wasn't there to calculate the labor cost. I waited at Vega for 10 minutes while the lady in the front was trying to get off the phone with a friend who happened to start helping her figure out how to open an adobe doc so I walked out. When I finally stopped by American Tires the two gentleman asked me how did I know it was the alternator. They took a look at my hood and said I was missing a serpentine belt. Instead of a $500 fix it only cost me $95 in labor and $11 for the belt (which I purchase at AUTOZONE) They were honest and did the job quickly.

What does the symbol that looks like a harp mean, then a flash of low tire pressure appeared. I pulled over, turned on my hazards to think of a quick place in Coalinga to air up my tire. My immediate thought was "Take it to Billingsly". Now I had no idea how low my tire was, but I flipped a U and headed into town. I turned on my hazards again and pulled off to the side because a big cement truck was headed my way hauling butt. Luckily the speed limit in town is 30mph. Billingsly looked very busy this Friday morning, but I was grateful for the sun shining today and there was zero fog. When I got out to look at my tire, that shorty was low, low, low, low. . . Low low low. The owner was helpful & he immediately tended to me and guided me around to park. While I was sitting in my car, he jacked up the tire & took it off for inspection. Yah, I hit a nail and it was stuck on the sidewall. "But I haven't gone anywhere"! I exclaimed. Must have been when I went through the alley after I picked up my car after the detail job. He offered me three choices, economical, Cooper, or Michelin. I opted for Cooper, but he said, "Nah, you should go with the economical so they all will wear evenly until the next time you replace all four". Very nice. I appreciate his honest opinion. So that's what I got. $130 Thank you Billingsly Until next time, see you some more on Yelp 2026
