Amazing service! I was told at GMC Carlsbad that I had a nail in my tire that could not be repaired and a new one would cost close to $280. I called Jose Vidana at Service Specialists and was quoted $200. For the same exact tire and service. I called GMC back and asked if they would price match, but they declined, so I went to Service Specialists. Imagine my surprise when Jose told me that I didn't need a new tire, it was an easy patch. This company could have taken advantage of me, but instead they were an Angel in my life! Thank you so very much! read more

Had a good first-time experience here getting new tires on my Honda Accord. I called and spoke to Jose who was very efficient at getting me a good quote over the phone for the tires I wanted (I compared prices to a couple other places, and these guys were competitively priced). They didn't have them in stock, but were able to get them by the next day. I drove over to the location - FYI, make sure you enter on the south side of the 6221 building... that is where the lobby is located (they service your car at the back of the building). The lobby is tiny and there really aren't any "fancy" amenities, but I don't mind that - I'd rather a place do a good job at a reasonable price than spend all their money on fancy marketing/etc. I will also note that I was very happy not to get any "upsells" by them - no-nonsense. Also, make sure to call and find out when they are working - Jose mentioned they typically have a lunch break from 12-1pm... I got there around 1:20pm (my one minor complaint is that while they acknowledged me from the back office when I got there, it took about 10 minutes for someone to come help me. Not a deal-breaker, but would've been nice to not sit around in a tiny lobby just wondering when someone would show up). Anyway, once they did come up front to help me, they were very fast and efficient. They were done putting on my new tires in about 45 minutes, which was just enough time for me to enjoy my lunch at one of the picnic tables down at the back end of the parking lot. All-in-all a solid experience and I will definitely be coming back. read more

I will be using these guys for all my tire needs. The ONLY good thing that came out of my experience with Hoehn Acura was that they recommended this place. I was in and out within about 45 minutes. The price was extremely fair. read more

Great team, fair prices, and they take the time to do it right. I brought in my 1982 Porsche for a wheel swap. They were sure to do it right by even getting a jack pad from a neighbor Porsche dealer. Wow talk about taking care of your customer. Does not surprise me as this place was recommended to me by my mechanic. Thank you! read more

I do a lot of research before deciding on who and what actually touches my car. I did my due diligence and finally decided on Service Specialists in Carlsbad. I'm surprised I actually found this place, even with navigation. I wasn't sure which side of the building they are on so I chose the right side, if you are standing on the street facing the structure. The driveway is as steep as a street in San Francisco. As I approached the bottom of the driveway at an angle I prayed I didn't scuff the underbelly of my front bumper. Low and behold, I did manage to hear the bumper scrape the surface of the driveway. Nonetheless, I made it up the driveway of this multiple tenet commercial building. I looked around for a suite letter, but could not see any signage whatsoever. I finally decided to park in front of what seemed to me to be a wheel and tire center. I did not see a single human being in the repair bay, so I walked in through the bay and warehouse area and eventually made my way back to some offices. There seemed to be a decent amount of office space but I only noticed one individual. I waited a few seconds until he was off the phone. I told him I called the day before about fixing a leaking tire. The gentleman told me that their mechanics are out delivering vehicles, but should be back any minute. Less than ten minutes later, one of the mechanics(Jose?) returned and approached me in the waiting room. We walked through the warehouse to my vehicle. I showed him the area of the tire in question. He seemed somewhat disinterested and much more concerned about getting started on the work. I walked back to the waiting lounge and waited for him to come get me. I probably waited about 20 minutes before the owner came up to me and told me that they can't find the leak. I was not happy. I walked to the rear of the building once again, but this time with the owner. My tire was sitting in a water bath. I tired to find the foreign object in the tread but the tread was wet and I was unable to locate it. Hmmmmm. I was embarrassed. I gave them the OK to remove the tire from the rim. I went back to the lounge. 10 or so minutes later, the owner came up to me and told me the mechanic located the hole and is able to patch it. Yes! I was so happy. The tire had only 2000 miles on it, therefore I was not looking forward to replacing it. 20+ minutes later, I was good to go. $25 was the out the door charge. I felt that the price was very fair. The mechanic brought my car around to the front customer entrance and off I went. The next morning I rechecked the pressure in all four tires and had to adjust according. read more

I brought my car in because I had a nail in the tire. Bear informed me that it would be $25 to repair it (if repairable). However, if they couldn't repair it, I would need to buy a new tire. Thirty minutes later he told me that my car was ready. When I asked him how much, he said nothing. They didn't even charge me for the labor. On a side note, Bear is super friendly and they provide excellent service. I will be back when I'm ready for new tires - or if I get another screw in my tire read more

I went to Service Specialists to get a new set of tires for my Jaguar F-Type. They were great. They showed me various options, gave me different price quotes, and did not pressure sell anything. Yes nice I made my selection, they were quick to get the job done. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. read more

They were Great! I came in for a tire rotation, and it was done in under an hour. It was affordable, would totally recommend them.

These guys are simply the best. I've shopped around with others and these guys have the most competitive prices, best service and selection around. The store is always clean, the staff is knowledgeable / friendly, and they always get me in & out of there quickly. Been coming here for years and will only shop with the Service Specialists! read more

If you live in San Diego and need tires, this is the ONLY place to go. They are super professional and Bear and the team took great care of my car. read more

I've been to Service Specialists twice and each time the service has been excellent. Fast, courteous, professional.

These guys are solid! I had a screw in my tire and brought my car to them at 2:00 PM on a Monday. Jose let me know that the tire had two leaks (not one) and could be repaired not replaced. I got my car back in about an hour. If you're looking for a good crew of honest people that do excellent work for a great price, look no further. Thank you!! read more

I deal with Service Specialists on a weekly basis where I work. They are the absolute best!! Professional, fast and the nicest guys. Highly recommend them for any tire or wheel needs! Thanks guys, always a pleasure doing business with you!! read more

Hands down to the crew at Service Specialists, this is my second time coming here, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for fast and great service. I called on a Saturday morning and they were able to work with me and get my new tires on in about 45 minutes to 1 hour. read more

disrespectful staff. as i arrived to the shop, Jose who was the front desk tech was extremely disrespectful, the job was completed poorly and scratches on my wheels were created by the end of the visit. do not bring your car to this shop, youll regret it. read more

I got Service Specialists' information from Tire Rack as they were a recommended installer and the reviews seemed good. I decided to go with them to support a local shop instead of the national chains even though it was slightly more expensive. Unfortunately, I was turned away because they couldn't work on my car that day. There were three guys working in the office, but only one guy actually doing any mechanical work. I also heard them turn away another customer while I was waiting on the phone. Call in advance before taking your car there. I can't say anything about about the actual service, because I had to go to Discount Tire instead. My mistake for not going there in the first instance. Two stars for unapologetically wasting my time. read more

This place is great. A little off the beaten path, which means no crowd on a Saturday morning. Had my flat checked (couldn't be plugged) and four new tires installed on my Subaru all within 45 minutes, spare back in the trunk. These guys were professional and courteous, prices were on par with other local places. Highly recommended. read more

Important things like quality of work are good. Attention to detail..not so much on my recent visit. Car returned with very dirty rims, and tire pressure too high. I'll go back but will ask for more attention to these details read more

Professional,knowledgable, great service for a reasonable price! I had called several other tire companies, who were trying to "sell" their after-market and no name brand tires. I was grateful after speaking to Bear (like the Grizzly) at Service Specialists for his honesty with respect to my "tires 101" experience. We have a older vehicle refurbished vehicle with tiny tires. HIghly, highly recommend them for your future tire needs! Forgot to menion fast - less than 45 minutes :) read more
