    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.

    I dropped my car off here this afternoon because my tire pressure indicator went off and when I…read morewent to add air, I saw the screw sticking out of it. I didn't have an appointment but they said I could bring it in anyway. They were slammed. Everyone had a tire problem today at the same time. So it took them maybe 10 minutes to check me in. The team there was incredibly professional, and I was particularly impressed with their knowledge on other companies products and services as I listened to them on the phone. They checked me in, gave me an update on where my tread was and when I should look at replacing my tires, and told me they would text me when the car was ready. All of that happened exactly as they said it would. When I arrived, I wanted to pay for the repair only to find they had done it for free. Wow. Here is what disappointed me... the majority of the customers in that waiting room today were so rude to the staff. They exhibited impatience, lack of appreciation for how busy they were, lack of thankfulness that this crew was able to help them out in spite of being so busy, and lack of appreciation for the knowledge and professionalism of this team. This team deserved more respect than what I saw exhibited today. Shane helped me today and couldn't have been more professional, friendly, or helpful. I didn't buy my tires here, but I will need them in the Fall and I will come here without a question.

    This experience is only related to my visit today. I've already been a huge fan of America's Tire…read morein WC. I've been. 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.

    In this instance I am compelled to write a scathing review…read more  My wife brought our Mitsubishi in to get the AC fixed and window motors replaced. She explained the issues, and told the technician (Sahil) that we have tried two times to recharge the AC and it has failed (leaked). The windows motors are loosing power. A day later Sahil calls me on the phone to give me a quote. He says the car needs engine oil change, brakes pads and rotors are worn out, head gasket is leaking. Absolutely , no mention of our requests.  The engine oil had been changed 3 weeks ago by me. When I told him this he was surprised. Yes, the brake pads are worn out but I usually replace these. Head gasket has no leaks, another surprise. I mentioned changing spark plugs would be good but he could not source the premium NGK spark plugs. At that time one could review the head gasket too.  Absolutley no mention of our two requests: AC not working and car windows. I reminded him, and he said he could recharge the AC. I reminded him that is exactly what had been done at 2 shops. He said he could put in a dye. I said that had been done too but will let you diagnose.  Well, no worries, I said I would source the premium parts and bring the car back. I did not even broach the issue about the windows. My wife brings the car back home. I noticed they had removed the engine air filter and not put it back! They had also done the same for the cabin filter! I now have to buy these parts with grommets. Changing filters in a car is like changing a light bulb. Shops charge you a 2x-3x markup to do this quick job (2 min), and it is an easy way to get money from you.  The only conclusion I could draw from this experience is that a woman took a car in. They thought she had no clue. And they picked on every common issue: oil change, filter change, head gasket, brakes to get money out of her. Gave absolutely no attention to the reason the card was brought in.  I am so sad to see this type of service, when I have had a good experience with Safi in the past.  Never coming back.

    i'm updating my previous review which was not great because the paperwork from my last visit…read moreindicated that something has been done incorrectly. I'm not sure that's actually true. since then I had a different problem arise and was told by several shops that the transmission needed to be replaced I wasn't convinced of that.

Just picked up my Forrester and I'm driving home so far it feels wonderful thanks again to Ace and to the sharp young man who actually worked on the Forrester; I regret not getting his name. he's definitely earned their five stars and I am a happy driver!

I came in to fix my tire that was losing air when they showed me the interior of my two rear tires were in bad condition, most likely due to poor alignment.

It's been a few months now and I am planning coming back to have them replace my brakes and rotors and my front control arms and ball joints due to the well know issue with the Teslas.
