    Americas Tire describing the damage that was done to my car.

    DO NOT COME HERE!!! I curse the day I decided to come in, do not trust this place, they might kill you!!! My story: Stoped by to get a quote for tires and wheels. 2 days later I called to order only tires and Happy (owner's name) said to come in because he had them in stock. I came in, Happy told me a lie and he actually didn't have them at all. He searched in the back of the shop, found some other tires that were good fit for my car but told me that they were more expensive. I came from far, got struck in traffic and I didn't want to come back again so I agreed to pay more. After installation I left and went on with my day. When I got home I took a closer look at my expensive tires just to discover that they were wrong load, in fact illegal to drive in state of California. So I called right away (same day) and told him he made a mistake. He tried to convince me to keep the tires since I already used them and advised to drive slow, not to speed nor give hard brakes. It is so unethical and wrong on every level possible to do this. To begin with I am a very responsible driver plus I have a baby in the car so I explained over and over and over again why I couldn't keep them. He agreed to order proper tires with some extra cost which I agreed, I did everything to fix his mistake. I called next morning and Happy informed me that new tires were coming at noon not to come in and he would give me a call. HE NEVER CALLED. Weekends passed by and I called again Monday morning, Happy said to come at 3pm. I was there few minutes early just to discover he never ordered proper tires, instead he again tried to convince me that he sold me proper tires. Something is seriously wrong with this man!!! After I insisted on the right tires to be installed, he again talked me into getting more expensive tires, at this point I didn't care about the money, I just wanted right tires, wanted to leave and never come back to this scammer again. After 2 hours of just waiting, he disassambled my car, no new expensive tires in the store and at this point I started to cry and called Police. I didn't want to keep my car so disassembled overnight. This was so wrong, I just couldn't reason with this man, he was yelling and swinging his hands, I got scared and I needed help, all I wanted is the right tires or full refund and I got none. He just became rude and completely uncooperative that is why I needed Police. Happy lied to the Police in front of me, I couldn't believe to my ears the story he was telling them, lies after lies after lies. Some guy in the back , maybe his brother, left with a van and came back after 20 min with my tires(maybe he went to buy them from some other store, I don't know), they got installed while the Police waited, I finally left. Happy never he said "I'm sorry" or "it was an honest mistake, let me make it right". Horrible business practice, all I can say is DO NOT COME HERE, YOU WILL BE SCAMMED!!!! My car: 2017 Tesla S P100D My old tires: 245/45R19 102Y (extra heavy load) nothing less than 102 is allowed. New wrong tires: 245/45R 19 98V (Standard load) illegal load and prohibited for 2017 Tesla S P100D. 1 - I gave proper tire requirements. 2 - if he missed point 1, the old tire measurements were also on my old tires he took off. 3 - if he missed point 1 and 2, the proper tire measurements are on the door of my vehicle. He had every chance to do it right. Next morning I went to Americas Tires just to have them check my car, the tire light was not adjusting right. They told me that he only put 4 bolts and the tire was coming off the car. I would have had an accident any minute and even could have died. I then asked them to check ALL my tires. The mechanic discovered that the lugs were different sizes, some were corroded so they had to be replaced. Plus due to incorrect wheel installation they broke my hub ring, now it is jammed so badly that I will need to fix it properly in a specialty store. At this point I am so angry and furious!! This is not right!! Happy seriously damaged my car, he will pay for all related damages due to the jammed broken hub ring, who knows how much it will cost to fix it. I will absolutely report him and his store, one day he will KILL someone and he absolutely needs to be investigated and shut down.

    Quick service and showed me the issue immediately. Classic nail in tire situation. In and out in under 30 minutes. $15 dollars for a plug

    Just bought 4 tires for my wife from this place. My wife told me she had a low tire pressure alert on her dash. I went to inspect the tires and noticed there was a large gash on the right front tire. Idk why this was installed on the vehicle. There is nothing in the tire, but the gash is there. My wife doesn't drive on the freeway or expressway so I'm not sure if this was there and they just installed it anyway, but it's very concerning. Inspect your tires before leaving, especially when it's dark

I drove a…read morefew blocks to a gas station, added air, then went to Goodyear for a repair and tire rotation. After about 45 minutes, the technician called saying he needed to speak with me. I told him I was there waiting, and he seemed surprised. Had I not been on-site to check the tire myself, I likely would have just agreed to his recommendation over the phone. He then told me the tire couldn't be repaired and needed replacement, claiming it had been driven flat due to faint sidewall marks and a "burnt" smell. I explained it was never driven flat--only a few blocks while low on air--and I didn't notice any unusual smell when he tried to demonstrate. I asked them to repair it anyway, but he refused. Another employee offered to open the tire to show the damage, but after inspecting it, he couldn't find any issues--the tire was still good. They eventually repaired it as requested. It's only been a few hours, but everything seems fine so far. I didn't appreciate being pushed to replace a tire that's less than a year old, especially since I drive under 7,000 miles a year working mostly from home. Sharing photos of all four tires, including a close-up , part of the sides are hard to see. Just be careful with people trying to get you to replace something that doesn't need to be.

    This review is long overdue…read more My 2013 Audi was having intermittent starting issues, and after taking it to another shop before Chet's, the problem was misdiagnosed. I ended up paying nearly $1,000, yet the issue still wasn't fixed. To make matters worse, the mechanic basically shrugged and said, "I don't know what to tell you." Frustrated, desperate, and honestly terrified of being taken advantage of again, I turned to Yelp to find another mechanic. After doing a lot of research, I came across Vu at Chet's European & Japanese Auto Care. The reviews were outstanding, and what stood out most was how many people described him as honest. After my previous experience, honesty was exactly what I was looking for. From the start, Vu was completely different. He took the time to thoroughly diagnose my car, spending a day and a half investigating the issue. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed and communicated every step of the way. Rather than rushing to a conclusion, he wanted to make sure he covered all the bases before saying the problem was solved. He even encouraged me to continue testing the car and told me to bring it back if I experienced any more issues. What impressed me most was his integrity. After all the time he spent diagnosing my vehicle, the root cause turned out to be a relatively minor issue. Despite the extensive diagnostic work, he only charged me for the part and not for the labor. Given my previous experiences with mechanics charging an arm and a leg, I was blown away by his generosity and honesty. Vu is truly one of a kind. Honest mechanics are hard to find these days, and he genuinely cares about helping his customers. If he's ever faced with a problem he can't immediately solve, he'll seek out additional resources and expertise to make sure his customers get the answers they need. If you're looking for reliable, trustworthy, and honest auto repair, don't waste your time going anywhere else. I can't recommend Vu and Chet's European & Japanese Auto Care highly enough. Thank you, Vu, for restoring my faith in mechanics!

    I don't write reviews often but Chet's deserves one here…read more I took my 2007 Honda CRV to Chet's (Vu), as I was having steering issues and some noises after recent repair from two different mechanics. Vu took it immediately for a test drive with me in the passenger seat. He could feel the same issue I did. He then put it on the lift and inspected it thoroughly. He wasn't sure of the issue exactly but was transparent in the discussion and thinking. Given the car had been worked on recently by others, I can understand why he would be hesitant to take it on. He noted that "my reputation is more important than one car" or similar, which I understand and respect too, as he said he has been in business for 20 years. He considered his best recommended repair with available information but wasn't pushing it, as it's a pricey repair. Looking to get a second opinion, he then had a different co-worker take another look. The co-worker slid under the car and was able to identify an issue, which was a loose bolt from the prior mechanic. The team right then lifted the car and tightened all the bolts, then took it on a second test drive, and the sounds went away and the steering issue seemed improved. Vu spent about an hour on this work combined with another 15-20 minutes from two or three other people too. After all that, he told me not to pay anything, though I offered! He could have pushed the more expensive repair and I would have very likely gone ahead with it, but he didn't. I need to test drive it further to see how it ddrives, but Vu said if still having issues to come back then to discuss where we go from there. For now, the sounds at least have gone away which is promising! Thank you!!!
