There we were, 200 miles to go on our 1,230 mile family trip, shifting between 2nd and 3rd in our 1987 VW Vanagon when we heard a loud thump, followed quickly by a gradual deceleration and inability to shift into any gear. After coming to a stop and looking under the van I was crushed to see my axle hanging off from where my newest CV joint was recently replaced. I did a quick google search for a mechanic and started to call down the list. Mechanic #1 was Ramon's, but no one answered. Mechanic #2 said my car was too old and to try Mechanic #3, who said it would be four days before he could look at my car and recommended Mechanic # 2. I called #2 again and pleaded for help and was put on hold "to ask the manager." While on hold, I get a call from an unknown number with a 559 area code and decide to pick it up. It was Ramon. "I'm sorry to have missed your call. How can I help?" I shared my story and he said he might not have the part today given the van's age, but the least he could do is have a look. As the tow truck pulls onto Ramon's lot, he hops onto the flatbed, examines the situation, then assured us he would be able to help! He personally supervised the repair and test drove our vehicle. In the end, he handed me a write up of what he found to share with my mechanic at home. Our entire ordeal from breakdown to back on the road lasted three hours. I'm going to buy Ramon a clock for Christmas, because he only charged us for maybe an hour's worth of work instead of taking advantage of vulnerable and weary travelers. Ramon has restored my faith in humanity's ability to help one another in times of need and I cannot thank him and his crew enough. If you live in Mendota, or are passing through and have the same unfortunate luck as me, then I would highly recommend Ramon's for honest and excellent work at an amazing and fair rate! read more

We were headed down to LA from Sacramento and stopped for gas and food and got a low tire warning. Unfortunately the rear tire had a inner sidewall tear from I5 potholes. I Searched for places to install my spare tire and found Ramon's on Google maps. My car runs a uncommon tire size so I didn't expect any shops to have it but Ramon's had a used set of tires that were a close size. Rudy and the crew saved me from having to run my compact spare and got our family back on the road quickly.. Friendly crew and quick service. Thanks again Rudy for checking your stock for some tires and getting us back on the road quickly. We arrived in LA with only 1.5hrs added to our travel time. read more

DONT GO HERE. I am a solo female and they put a tire on my car that was an inch smaller than my other tires even though they knew that would damage my car. they told me it wouldn't damage my car. I didn't realize until I googled it that it was bad. They saw that I was a solo female who was traveling away from them and they took advantage of me. read more

Going home to NorCal from San Diego while pulling a trailer, we noticed an issue with the right rear wheel of our truck on I-5, shortly before the W Panoche exit. Not only did these guys fix the issue, they drove 25mins from where we were stranded to deliver our truck the next day. Reasonable price and excellent service .. thank you, Alex! read more

Muy buenos precios nos ayudaron mucho con nuestra situación de emergencia de camino fuero demasiado amable y se preocupa por arreglar el problemas de mi llantas gracias por su buen servicio soy el del mini cooper read more

I can't thank everyone at Ramon's enough for turning my worst nightmare into a pleasant experience. My car broke down on the highway in the middle of a road trip, and the people here quickly diagnosed the problem for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the necessary part wasn't available anywhere nearby. No problem: the people here helped me come up with a plan to get my car to a nearby city, purchase the necessary part myself so I could save some money, and then take it to another auto shop so the service could be completed. Thank you, Ramon's, your excellent work and customer service. It meant the world to me! read more

These guys saved my butt. Got a nail in my tire in middle of nowhere on the 5 and I limped into Mendota. They quickly patched it even though it looked like all stalls were full. I gladly paid $25 and gave my tech $20 for doing to so quickly and checking my other tires too. Thanks guys! read more

Outstanding and fast service. My tire blew on 5. They r a god send. Would highly recommend this place. Great price and fast service.

Great group of guys, I showed up towards the end of their day to have tires balanced. The guy behind the counter took care of it while his other guys were working on other vehicles. Was done in no time. Very quick,great job, no more vibration. By the way, THEY'RE HIRING. read more

We were stuck between a rock and a hard place and this family owned business went above and beyond! My brother and I were driving from Orange County to Lodi when we got a flat tire. We drove to Ramon's and they told us that our run-flat tire was shot and they needed to order another from Fresno, a 40 minute drive one way (which they would pick up early the next morning). We were stuck! Adrian, the owner's son, took care of us by calling the local hotel and making sure they had a room for us, taking us to pick up dinner, and driving us to the hotel (almost 10 miles away). He then had his brother pick us up in the morning. When we arrived, the tire was already on the car and we were ready to resume our trip. I don't know about you, but I know I haven't received such awesome and amazing service like this. They treat you like family. THIS is the place you want to go to for all you car care needs. They're honest, have fair pricing, and customer service that goes above and beyond your expectations!! Thank you Adrian & family!! read more

My boyfriend's semi trucks front right tire just blows out. Yup, right as I'm driving it too at around midnight. A loud POP! And then the truck starts feeling unbalanced and wants to waiver off to the side of the road. My bf takes over the wheel and safely leads us to the next exit. Kamm Ave. It's late, nowhere is open and feels like we're out in the middle of nowhere. The one good thing was the sky - entirely consumed with clusters of stars like I've never seen before back home in our polluted infested sky of Southern California. Luckily by early morning this place is opened. They have exactly the tire and rim which needed replacing and at a very decent price!! They're Mexican dudes too so you know they know what they're doing hehe :) After we give them a call, they rush out here around 30minutes later. Well equipped and ready to take care of business on the truck. We were so fortunate to find this company that had exactly what we needed at an extremely fair price. Muchas gracias Ramon's tires!! read more

Got a flat on I5 and we were lucky enough to be 20 miles away from Ramon's. Called and they were very friendly and responsive and let us know they had a tire our size; we were in and out in less than 30 minutes and saved our vacation. Highly recommend. read more

Alex and his team were and are the best! I had a blowout on one of my trailer tires. After putting on my spare, I drove to Ramon's Tire and Auto from I5 to replace my spare. After talking with Alex, and the pricing he gave me, I decided to replace all six. The best decision I made, his team replaced all six in record time. It was not like they were not busy; they are just efficient. Everyone was hustling and making it happen. The service was better than anyone in the East Bay Area; the price for the tires was better as well. If I need tires, I will take the drive from the Bay to head down to Ramon's, especially if I plan to be anywhere close to them. AND that's saying somethin' - that's how great they are! read more

Great service and great price! Made the drive from Clovis to Mendota and couldn't be happier. Adrian was helpful in finding the perfect wheels and tires. Ended up with wheels, tires, and a leveling kit and saved several hundred dollars over 3 other quotes from Fresno/Clovis shops. All the guys were friendly and accommodating. They've earned all of our future business. read more

I had gotten a flat on the 5fwy going back home for school, and had the worst experience with another tire company that took advantage of my situation and ripped me off! It was late but luckily we where able to get towed to a near by city called Mendota and a tow truck driver recommended us a Hotel and Tire shop for the next day. We ended going to Ramon's and they looked out for us, told em we where from outta town and our whole situation they where able to sell me a tire at a reasonable price and put it on quickly to get us back on the road. read more

I highly recommend this place. Customer service was great . Thank you for getting us on the road again.

Man it blesses my heart seeing all these 5 star testimonies. It shows that Aaron was a guardian angel to more souls than just us! My mom and I had a nail in our tire at 1am on the 5 heading to Arizona. We called the car rental place to no avail. And then literally prayed. And typed up tire and auto service and called Aaron! Absolutely a life saver, true professional, quickest service I've ever received by a truly humble man. Aaron, I won't forget you friend. God bless you brother read more

Everything everyone else said and more. Driving down to legoland on the 5, picked up a nail. They were able to put a new tire on in about 30 min. read more

More car troubles.... On our way home from visiting family in San Diego we experianed a flat tireout in the middle of nowhere on the 5. My mini cooper has run flat tires, but we were not comfortable driving it after it was pulling really hard to the left. We called AAA and they came to tow us, they were the ones to suggest these guys since there was so little out in that area. We called them around 4:30 and asked them what time they were going to close, they were supposed to close at 5 but they said they would wait for us to arrive. Which was such a relief! I don't know what I would have done otherwise. When the tow truck driver dropped us off they were waiting with a quote for the tire since I had given him the information on the phone. When they were helping get my car off the tow truck they informed me that my other front tire was really going to need replaced as well so they changed both tires for me since he was not comfortable sending me out with the other tire looking so bad. I never would have known! I guess when I bought the car from Carmax they did not balance the tires so they were wearing out very unevenly. He suggested I get them balanced ASAP. Thank you so much for staying late for me, you went above and beyond! read more

Had to make a detour due to a blown out tire. Called AAA and our Tow Truck driver recommend this place. We needed a 22" tire and we were in luck! Hands down one of the best and most professional tire shops I've ever been to. They were very accommodating, and made sure we stayed cool in this heat. Ramon and his team are the best around. Highly recommend this place for your tire needs. read more

I was visiting my daughter in Mendota and my front tire blew. My daughter called Ramon's and within 30 minutes it was fixed! A technician came out with two tires of the size I gave him (wrong size, but it's what the manual said), so he changed it to the spare and we drove to the shop and had two new tires put on for a great price, all within 30 minutes! Best service ever! Amazing prices! I was expecting twice the amount that I was charged. Thank you so much guys! read more

They saved us. Ecoboom - a solar energy company got a front flat at 7:00 pm and they came out and got us back on the road with professionalism and speed. Best tire repair service ever. read more

Ramon's Tire & Auto Service - Ecoboom loves Ramon's - Auto Repair Near Me - Mendota, California

Fast service. Fair prices. Very courteous. Tire bays large enough for our RV and tow vehicle. We blew our RV tire on I-5 on the first day of our vacation. Found Ramon's on the iPhone map. They had our tire size in stock. They found another tire bulging so we replaced 5 tires all at once. We are very pleased with their service. read more

I would give more stars if possible. These guys show what it means to be a human and to care for there customers. It's absolutely incredible business with a family and employees who really do care. I was stranded near i-5 and Ramon and his son drove out to help me out. They helped me get my truck to their shop and diagnosed the problem. This was Friday night and well past there opening hours. They were also missing a football game with there families but they didn't complain at all and were exceptionally professional. Not only that there son drove my girlfriend and i to Fresno at least 30 minutes away so we could rent a car. This is one of the best shops you could go to. I'm always indebted to them and they really inspired me on how I should treat others. Thanks so much Ramon and Alex and the rest of the crew read more

Okay, so these guys are THE ABSOLUTE BEST. They were my guardian angels last night and I genuinely have no idea what I would have done without them. Here was the situation: I'm driving from San Francisco down to LA, and at the pretty much exact halfway point, my tire violently blows on the highway. AAA comes and puts on a spare but you shouldn't/can't drive too far on a spare, and I still have 3 hours left! Biggest issue: it's 9PM and EVERYTHING is closed. I'm panicking because there's not much around and I really didn't want to stop for the night. I called Ramon's and they came down and literally OPENED SHOP for me. Then, they checked my remaining tires and patiently showed me that all of them were very worn down and dangerous. We talked through possible solutions, and they ended up replacing all 4 tires at a reasonable price. They even filled up my spare and made sure it got back in my car safely :) THANK YOU THANK YOU for making such a horrible, stressful situation so much better. I managed to get back on the road and to my destination, and my car feels great. DON'T HESITATE, just go to Ramon's! read more

This place is amazing! A sensor told us we were losing pressure in a tire. We found this place on yelp, called to make sure they could help. We got there. In minutes, the problem was identified (a bad patch by our local ford service department) and minutes later the problem was fixed. The price was very reasonable, embarrassingly low, so I wonder if we were treated as somebody's grandparents. In any case, everyone was hustling but apparently in a good mood. If you have a tire problem in this area, come here! Technician was, I think, Chip or Chad, we shook hands but I am not good on names. He and my wife talked dogs since we have a Dalmatian and he has a bulldog. read more

As i sat on the 5 north on a Friday night with my front tire dangling in the night, I thought this is not going to be good for my travel times and my wallet. With luck i looked up Ramon's on Yelp, and read the reviews and called them the next morning which was Saturday, and they were open for business. Adrian asked my to take a picture of the front end of the truck and when my truck arrived at the garage the parts were on there way. The staff got busy and fixed my truck in a timely manner, and i was back on the road to Tacoma. Ramon and Adrian are men of there words and honest, Im very grateful for Yelp and these honest guys. I would recommend them to you 100 percent. Thanks for the hats my son wears the black one Adrian. Gary read more

Adrian picked up the phone when we needed him most. He came to his shop early and was truly a godsend to replace a flat tire we got on the 5. He was able to quickly replace the tire and the service was beyond exemplary. If I could rate their service above 5 stars, I most definitely would! read more

Great service. Had flat tire on 5 and service to replace with new tire in 25 minutes 7:30 pm. Thanks.

Ramon and his crew are the The best tire service guys I was stranded on the 5fwy with a front tire blow out and could not use my spare tire due to my tire changing kit was removed by my detail guys and not put back in my truck this was a major bummer to find out. So I called Ramon told him the tire size and he was there in less then 30 minutes and 2 trucks showed up and he also had 2 tires for me to choose from they fixed me up and also had an extra tire changing kit he gave me so i was safe the rest of my trip.

My family and I were traveling from Seattle when we experienced a flat tire. After changing the tires we immediately had two more blow out. We had no spare and were stranded on the side of I-5. Our insurance company was "unsure" of when they would be able to get us help (other than a ride off the freeway). That's when we called Ramon's. Within TWO hours we had 4 new tires and were on our way. They were fast, efficient, friendly and our absolute HEROS!! Thanks to the 3 guys who dropped what they were doing on a Saturday evening to come rescue us!! read more

Live Savers!!! We just experienced a flat on hwy 5 and drove into town in hopes to find a tire shop open on a Sunday night. We were referred to Ramon's by Auto Zone called them and they were willing to open the shop to help us out. BIG THANK YOU to the worker read more

I had a flat tire on highway 5 --- stuck in the middle of no where ... with my 2 year old daughter in the car ... on our way to LA. I was really frightened but the guys at Ramon's tires assured me everything was going to be ok and they took care of it! Great to know we have trusted people able to help on the side of the road! They were angels in disguise read more

I found myself on the side of the road with a blow out on the I-5 just after leaving the Panoche Rd exit gassing up my Pruis. If only I'd paid attention to the (!) symbol on my dashboard! Which meant low tire pressure. After calling AAA and getting picked up by Robert of Eppler Towing, he put me on his flatbed truck and delivered me to Ramon's Tire & Auto Service where I was immediately cared for by Ramon himself. I highly recommend Ramon's to anyone and everyone in need of tire and/or auto service. You will be given the best care and the best deal available anywhere! read more

Ramon and his sons are fantastic! I had a blow out on I-5 in the middle of the night and they opened up the shop for me and got me on my way in less than an hour. A week later, I was headed back down I-5 and had noticed a weird sound from my back tire. With a quick call to Ramon, I was able to stop on my way and he took a look at it free of charge and let me know exactly what was going on. These are a great group of people who are genuinely caring and honest. I only wish every mechanic could be as great!!!! read more

Best place to get your tire fixed. The customer service is excellent and everyone is friendly. Also the wait time is short!

My tire came apart on 5 right before closing. I called Ramon and he came out quickly to replace my trailer tired. He was so fast... It was like a nascar crew was working on my tires. Exceptional service! I would have been screwed without them! read more

They deserve every one of those stars! Blew a tire on the freeway and was able to make it here and very glad I did. Gave me a great deal and seemed to generally care about mine and my cars well being. Very friendly. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Ramon's were very friendly and fixed our flat in 20 minutes. Father son duo and they even opened up shop after they closed! Very reliable.

We were so lucky we ended up at Ramon's. Alex was so helpful and friendly. We couldn't change the tire ourselves because the special anti-theft key stripped and he worked really hard to remove it (and he help us also remove the ones in the other 3 tires) for no extra charge. We are thankful! Tip: they are open 24 hours. read more
