    Weights from balancing that fell right off after 1 week.

    I had 3 pretty significant issues with these guys which I will also list below that have to do with pricing mistakes, lying about damaging my brand new wheels, and poor work quality. I want to preface this review by saying they are some hard working guys at this shop and don't seem like bad people, they just seem too overwhelmed to do quality work. Although my experience was negative you might have a better one than mine. 1. Pricing Mistake I called Ali THREE SEPARATE TIMES to confirm the price of my tires which was he said was 1250. I drove an hour and 30 minutes for these and the guy is trying to tell me 1600 while they already got 2 wheels mounted, so naturally I feel like he's trying to play me. After some back and forth we met at 1450 and I can tell he just made a mistake and wasn't just trying to take my money which is fine because he compensated me with some other services. But still, it was extremely frustrating having to debate this. 2. Chipped my brand new wheel, then tried to lie about it They called me over into the shop to show me my chipped wheel, claiming it came like that. This is completely untrue because method wheels come plastic wrapped with extra protection over them and have a major reputation for quality. I can tell they were lying cause both plastic protectors were removed at the time they called me into the shop to see. I didn't feel like arguing because for one I just didn't have the energy and two it was on the bead-lock which will most likely see worse chips with off roading. It was also a pretty minor chip, you really need to look for it to see it. My biggest issue is that they clearly were lying about it instead of just taking accountability. I will admit I don't have any definitive proof of them chipping the wheel so this could be there could be a 1% chance they're telling the truth, but I highly doubt it given the circumstances. 3. The weights used to balance my tires FELL OFF.... Don't need to go much further here, that's ridiculous man come on. I wish the best for these hard working guys and when you get cheap work done you can't expect 5 star quality, but these are some pretty major issues that they tried to just play off like nothing was wrong. Last this one is pretty minor but still frustrating, first thing when one of the shop guys pulls out my wheels from the box he drops my center cap on the floor, scratching it and chipping the paint.

    Owner is a complete joke. Tried to buy a full set of tires. I made an appointment for a certain brand of tires that he said he had. I showed up, he didn't have them. And then proceeded to tell me he was not going to show me a different set of tires. It's worth it to take your business somewhere else.

A customer for years and I recommend the place to my friends and family. Today I came in without an appointment to have one tire replaced on my car under warranty. It's a work day and I drove in from Oakland so I didn't have loads of time to lose. They were clear when I dropped the car off that, because I'm a walk-in, I'd have to wait 2.5-hrs. More than I wanted to wait but I get it and I agreed to come back in that time. They also have a link that tells you when the car should be done which is also cool. I used that while I was out to sort out when I should head back to grab my car. The app at that link confirmed my car was going to be ready at the same time they told me earlier so I came back to pick it up. Once I arrived, I could tell the car hadn't been touched. They then explained they'd need the car for another 1.5-hrs. Completely ridiculous and a big downer for someone who had always been a loyal customer. I might change this rating someday but hoping this acts as a warning for others who attempt to walk-in to get their car serviced here. You can't rely on their estimated time nor can you rely on the technology they use to keep customers updated on when cars will be finished. Here's hoping they fix their workflow and fancy systems they use to "help" loyal customers.

This time I talked with Cody who said that I actually needed the tire balanced. (I didn't really understand if I needed all tires balanced or fewer than all four, but I didn't really care because I knew I wanted them all balanced.) I came back a few days later to get the tires balanced. Cody helped me again. The lobby was very busy and he was the only person working but he did a good job helping everyone as quickly as possible. I chose to have all 4 tires balanced at a cost of $25 each. I left the car and it was ready within a few hours as promised. No additional costs or issues. My car now drives super smooth! Although I see that there are a lot of negative reviews, my experience has been very different. After two experiences with this Big O Tire store I'm very happy with the customer service and the work performed. I would definitely recommend them.

Instead, I was told that not one--but two--tires needed replacing because they were "almost bald," which made no sense given their condition. On top of that, I was advised to get an alignment I know I don't need, and was told my brakes needed replacing--even though I had them inspected right after buying the car and was assured they were new. What should have been a straightforward $120 fix suddenly turned into a quote of over $1,000. It felt like they were trying to take advantage of the situation, assuming I wouldn't question their recommendations. If I had trusted them without thinking twice, I would've paid for unnecessary work. Be careful out there--always double-check and don't hesitate to get a second opinion. Not everyone has your best interest in mind, and some places seem more focused on commission than honest service.  -5 stars

I walked in prepared for a *bumpy ride* with my wallet, knowing how notoriously mechanics can be. To my surprise, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and relaxed--it was like a pit stop in a race! Jim took the time to listen to my concerns, making me feel at ease as I joked about being clueless about car troubles post-divorce. Seriously, I felt like I was in the *fast lane* to disaster! But Jim's honesty and straightforward approach completely *tire-d* my worries away. Over the past five years, I've trusted no one else for my car needs, from brakes to tires to electronic repairs. They really know how to *steer* you in the right direction! Recently, my husband needed some auto work, and he looked at me like I was *nuts* when I said we should go to Jim's. But after taking both our cars there, he was *revved up* with happiness! We've now decided to send our fleet of company cars there regularly. Even though Jim has sold the business, the same team remains, bringing the same level of care and professionalism. Their ability to communicate openly and work around our schedules is truly *wheel-y* impressive. If you're looking for a reliable, honest mechanic who won't *brake* your bank, look no further--this is the place to *accelerate* your car troubles away!
