Let me tell you, this is a very professional shop. The pricing is fair and the techs are quite knowledgeable. The owner Marcelo is personable and very easy going... an all-around great guy, who even helped point me in the right direction for services needed that were outside of their day to day activities. I highly recommend Santana Auto Service. read more

I recommend this place to everyone I come in contact with. Friendly service and more than fair prices. It's so nice to have a place you can come to and know you won't be taken advantage of! Thank you for your service to our community! read more

Walked In to get a price on a tire and tried to sell me a tire plus alignments and so much more. I ended up leaving

Expensive, I walked in asked for pricing and walked away after feeling i was being over charged. Second place i tried confirmed my suspicion so much cheaper. Stay away. read more

Been doing business with all their shops for over 20 years. No one else we trust with tires and brakes

Poor customer service.. The owner was very rude. when I walked in, didn't even greet me right away.

Just want to say Thank you to Marcelo and his team at Santana Tires in South Gate not Downey. Lol. I went in last minute to get a patch on a flat tire after I got off work late. It was past 6pm and they had already closed. I gave them a call and they waited for me which I really appreciated. I've been going there for years and never had a problem. I would highly recommend them and would go back next time I need help with my tires. read more

Got tires for my truck here, nice people and always went beyond to check all of my lug nuts.

Worst customer service so far , scratched my new $2500 rims and didn't even tighten each lug nut I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHOP NOR THERE SERVICE !!!! read more

trash service and bad costumer service don't ever go here worst shop ever. they charge way to much will pop your tires to make more money and put fake nails in your tire no serviee no one answers the phone ever read more

Wasn't really a good appointment or approach. I was lied to about my A/C liquid and told it was my oil pipe where the oil flows into my trans. smh they gave me a side shrug and left me go and almost charged me 150 no good read more

Had to stop here in a pinch. Tire had a small nail/screw in it causing a small slow leak of air. Today pressure dropped to 21. So I figured might as well get it taken care of. My usual spot was closed and didn't want to keep driving around like that. Although I have a small compressor in the car figured let's get it taken care of. Right away the guy said small patches are $20 and may be more based on size. Wow OK Had a patch not long ago at my usual spot still $12 there. And they charge me one dollar to use credit card. Really? I say because it was the day after thanksgiving after 4pm. The extra $8 bucks was worth it. Asked for tire estimate. Also seemed overpriced. Now I know. And knowing that s half the battle In a pinch would return. Service was ok. What you expect at a paisa tire shop. Otherwise I would stick to my usual spot down the street. read more

do not come here !! waste of time !! horrible experience and rude customer service!! over priced and sloppy work!

I recently had my Toyota Prius serviced at Santana Tire for a bearing replacement. The service was quick, the price was excellent, and I highly recommend them. Keep up the fantastic work, Santana Tire! read more

I have always bought my tires from Santanas for years. When I was new to the area I called around and got quotes and Santanas was always the best price. Now I don't even bother, I just go straight there. As a woman, I never felt like they were upcharging me. They were always nice and fair. I have pulled up multiple times for nails in my tires and they always fix it quickly. I nothing but positive reviews for this place. read more

I had my first visit at Santa Tires this past Saturday, June 5, 2021. I needed my breaks done & Marcelo was able to save me money compared to my regular shop. A friend had referred me to them & I have to say the experience & price were both great. It was a very busy Saturday morning, but we were out by noon with new breaks & rotors. I'll be coming back for my rear breaks soon. read more

I've been coming here for years. It's clearly improved and they seem to be getting busier. Always very respectful. Which as a female is a big deal. Just drove up with my two kiddos in the back and they found a nail in my tire without getting us out at all's quick fix!! All of them wearing masks. read more

Amazing, fast, and reliable. Such amazing work in little to no wait time, done very efficient and such helpful and respectful workers!! Definitely reccomend on all your car needs!! read more

Shoutout to the mechanic Rafael for helping me out right away and being so helpful! I came in for a last minute checkup on my car before a trip and they were able to inspect it, change tires, and do some minor fixes so that I'm set for my trip! My license plate also fell off my car and they screwed it right back on, no problem at all! Highly recommended if you need quick, efficient, satisfactory work!! read more

Whenever I have an issue with my car I come here and they treat me and my car right. I love the customer service and there very fast with nails on tires or even replacing the whole tire. Prices are definitely affordable read more

Extremely fast service. My tire had low pressure and I suspected that it had a nail in it. I called ahead and a gentleman informed me that they can get it done within 15 minutes. So, I hung up, drove there and had the tire fixed well within their 15 minute quoted timeframe. Pros: $15.00 to get a patch on my tires. Extremely Fast. Knowledgeable employees. Cons: None. read more

Don't come here! Don't waste your time or money. These so called mechanics will lie, take advantage , take your money. Worst customer service. They end up charging a lot more than what they first quote you. read more

This is my favorite place to come for my auto needs. Been coming for years even when I got a new car. RAFA is thee best customer service person I have ever met. He will treat you like a queen and make you feel genuine customer care and attention. He never fails at anything I need or ask for. This place is known for its tire service but over the years they are my oil people and my auto mechanic people for my used cars. They have revived cars that had no chance and my whole family can depend on them whenever we need something. I live out of the area now but still come down when I need support with my cars. They can inspect your car for any concerns. They helped me reestablish my credit with their card offers and help me cover expenses for used cars that needed repair. Love these guys! They are like family. read more

This spot is so unprofessional, not sure why they open at 8am if they don't have nobody working literally waited a hour for somebody to try and help me , this not the spot to come if your indeed of help, save your time !!waste of time read more

I've had my car serviced here before, an older gentleman a few weeks ago helped with a tire problem and was very professional. However, recently I stopped by with another car, and while the previous man wasn't there, this time two other individuals tried to make me believe that my car needed work done that in reality, it did not need. I was very apprehensive and told them I would make a few phone calls, turns out that Indeed they wanted me to take advantage just because I'm a woman. I took my vehicle to a certified mechanic and my car only needed one thing out of the four things this shop claimed. Very shady and unfortunately it's always our people trying to take advantage of their own. read more

Had to patch up one of my tires because I found a nail in it. Brought my car here and within 15 min, I was already getting serviced, the guys here are professionals and quick at what they do. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Really great service. I was greeted even before I got out of my car. Got an oil change in just minutes and got recommendations on a few questions I had regarding my brakes and shocks. Wow I just read the review that Vinz D left, dude if you tell someone about rims costing more than they make in 2 months, you think you're gonna get great service? Show some respect. And if you really know so much about which tools to use, you should have done it yourself. Also, who trades rims? Rims aren't Pokémon cards, but hey it's your car. read more

Called and found the tire I was looking for. I was able to get my tire reasonably priced, quick service, and didn't bullshit me. There are some apprentices working but they are well supervised. Would come again. read more

ZERO STARS!! Charged me $40 to do an alignment on my mustang. I was not given a receipt just a verbal translation. The guy that worked on my car was fairly quick and he even drove it around the block to test it out. When he came back told me it was all done and it was good. The following day when I was driving to work on the freeway I notice my car swerving to the left still. You get what you pay for. Instead of coming back to this location (without a receipt) I went to go get a computerized alignment where they give you a printout of the specs, receipt and warranty) for $20 more than I paid these guys. They found the real reason for messed up alignment, which was bad shocks and I got it all fixed. GET A COMPUTERIZED alignment, the details will save you $$$ and tread life in the long run. read more

You get what you pay for over here! Wish you could leave NEGATIVE stars but 1 star is the lowest. Got here when it first opened at 8am just to put on a new set of tires. The only guy working on my car is too busy talking up a storm with other employees and no manager seems to care. I've been here for almost 2 hours now and only 2 tires have been changed out. There is no accountability for the staff here, everyone seems to do whatever they want. If you're looking for a shop that will get you in & out in a timely manner, this is not the place to go! read more

This place is great. They sell tires at low prices both used and new. They are a good sized place but their prices are competitive with those small one man low budget neighborhood shops. GREAT STAFF. They gave me a free spare tire. which was almost new quality. It was a blessing because I am unemployed read more

I was heading west bound on imperial and noticed my tire was getting low on air. I came across this place and decided to have them check out my tire. I noticed once I parked there was a nail. They charged me $17 for a patch. At first $15 but I had to use my debit card and he charged me $2 more. Other than that they did a good patch, just too overpriced. read more

Poor customer service. My mom had recommended this place since she got used tires from here. I figured I give them a shot. I had a nail in my tire and just needed a repair with patch. They charge $15, I asked the owner if he'd price match the neighboring tire competition (Paramount Tire $10), only a $5 difference the owner denied my request. Not a smart business man. I would have bought my tires from here but I'd rather stick with good o' America Tires. They have good quality and customer service. read more

Horrible customer service. I'd rather go to the one in Lynwood! I brought my car for a wheel alignment, asked if it could be done today and one of the guys said yes. Had me park my car and wait. TWO hours later, I'm still kept waiting and finally told my car may not get serviced today because the man has to leave by 3:30pm. ((The shop closes at 4pm on Sunday)) So why keep me waiting all this time?? Horrible customer service. Never coming back.I would of appreciated them communicating with me sooner instead of having me waste my time. read more

We've been taking our cars to Santana Tires for years. This past week I had to take my car in for breaks. The brake fluid was leaking. Took it to Santana and in 3 hrs it was fixed and ready for pick up. Having my car back to normal and for a very affordable price is just what I needed. We had to take my dad's car in for brakes as well and they did a great job getting them to top shape. If you are taking your car in for something complicated, bring it in early. Waltzing in a whatever time is going to make have to wait. Their mechanic there is a busy guy and can't perform miracles with time so be patient. I will definitely be back to Santana whenever I have a need for repair of tires or breaks. read more

It was absolute pleasure to go to for service. I love going to family owned businesses and this place is top notch! I pulled right in and they started working right away! I felt comfortable and was met by great staff that just wanted to take care of you as a customer! Great prices! Couldn't ask for better service! My father is even a mechanic and he said he may change from corporate Pep Boys to Santana Tires! Never saw mechanics and servicemen work so professionally and nice. read more

I used their yelp deal! I got my tires rotated, an oil change, a patch on my tire, and a new air filter for $50. They were fast with great service! I'll be back. read more
