    Waiting/sales room
    Monica S.

    I found this hidden gem through Yelp. When I walked in, the guy was extremely friendly and responsive with my questions about brakes. While I was waiting for them to check the issues, there were a few regulars came in. After chatting with another lady waiting in the room, it was very assuring to know that she has been with this auto shop for more than 10 years. After about 1 hours, they gave me a quote on the brake repair. The price was reasonable after my husband checked quotes on some websites for similar mechanic work. They assured me that it could be done by the end of the day after I agree on the service. And they did...

    2017 Ford Raptor Needed New Engine fully installed and taken care of by Poway Auto

    Took our 2017 Ford F150 Raptor in after getting an estimate and diagnosis from Ford dealer. Eric helped us out didn't beat around the bush. They did their evaluation and it was the same issue Ford told us same price but better care. We decided to go ahead and replace the engine. During the process they noticed the turbo needed replacing too. We did it as well after a clear explanation from Jose the shop owner.Jose was direct, honest, friendly, and compassionate. He was honest though and we liked that. It was not a great situation to be in. We didn't think we would have to do such a major job on our truck but it was more affordable than buying a new car. The dealership we lost faith in. I don't think they would have been as honest with us. We felt take care of by Jose and the shop. Thank you for helping us and we found a shop to call home for our cars.

    I brought the car in that morning and Jose was able to find the problem and fixed it very quickly.

    Came in a couple weeks ago thinking I would need my tire patched up or even replaced. they let me…read moreknow that it was actually my rim that was cracked causing my tires to deflate. i ordered my rims online and when it came in, I called Evans tire to see when they would have an available time. They remembered who I was which is always nice, and then told me to stop by and they can get it done. Came into the shop within 45 minutes of my call, and originally was planning to drop my car off and come back the next day since I was on a time crunch. They asked me what time i needed to be out by, and assured me they could get it done within 90 minutes which they did. Sebastian was super friendly and saved me the cost of an uber to and from work + the day after back to the shop. Highly recommend!

They told me it would take 45-60 min. I walked over to Walmart and came back about 45 min later. The shop was shorthanded that day, so they hadn't worked on my car yet. They apologized and explained the situation. They brought my car in immediately, and I was out 25 min later. Other than it took longer than expected, I was happy with the service and technicians I spoke too. It was a great value, and I wasn't in a rush.

The staff is always pleasant and very personable and they do their best to help get your car taken care of. Most recently had to take my daughters car to have some work done and originally we thought it was fixable. It pretty much was not (engine lead time was a bit longer than she could hold off on). Aidan and the crew were amazing and kept us included in everything. Instead of saying too bad, we can not fix and handing us the bill they went above and beyond to help us try to find a solution. It can be hard to find someone you trust or feel like you may not be getting a great deal but we never feel this way with Evans. They really know how to help and take care of their customers.

I was willing to wait. 2.5 hours went by and when I asked for the status, they said that it would be another hour because they were busy. Mind you, they had walk-ins that got their vehicles serviced done before me. If you are busy, you should consult your customers and not let them just wait. I left and drove 20mins to La Mesa where they were able to fix the flat and have me out in 15min.

    I had an absolutely amazing experience at Evan's Tires. I truly feel like this team went above and…read morebeyond in every way. I came in on a whim after several other mechanics couldn't figure out what was wrong with my truck but I knew something was seriously wrong. Not only did they properly diagnose the issue, they prevented a serious accident. It turns out my brakes themselves were fine, but my brake booster had failed, caused by a bad check valve which could have put me in a very dangerous situation at any time. As a matter of fact during the test drive the mechanic completely lost all breaks and nearly crashed. The level of attention and care they put into diagnosing something that others couldn't figure out for over a year really stood out to me. The noise I had been dealing with for over 8months no one could figure out. The pricing was extremely reasonable, they worked with me the best they could especially considering the complexity of the problem. It's rare to find a shop that is both honest and thorough like this. I want to also mention that it was late in the day when I showed up and they stayed to help until the ultimately diagnosed the issue and we confirmed I could not drive home. Huge thank you to Chino, Tony, Juan, and Jed they were all incredibly helpful and worked together as a true team. I can't recommend this place enough! No one asked me to leave this review and it was not in Exhange for anything it was simply deserved :)

    Overview: very slow service, but super nice customer service…read more ---- Came here to get a tire rotation done, they said estimated an hour, it took like 2 and a half hours. I waited on-site bc they said it'd only take an hour, had I known it was going to be a lot longer I would have had someone pick me up instead. While the lady was nice, when my car was done she never notified me even though I was in their little waiting area. I had to go up and point out that my keys were in the done pile. The only good value is that they offer free tire rotation if you buy your tires from them. It is next to a little grocery shopping plaza that has a Vons and Starbucks if you want to walk there to kill some time. ---- Overall: I would've given a higher rating if they were more upfront about the amount of time it was going to take.
