    Friendly (and easy on the eyes) manager Joel. San Mateo local!
    Daniel L.

    I had a slow leak in my rear driver-side tire, and even though the screw was on the border of the side wall, they said a patch should be enough as long as I kept an eye on my tire pressure (which my car tracks digitally anyway). They didn't pressure me at all to get a new tire which was refreshing - even though they could have since a year ago I bought some cheap tires. When my tires finally do need replacing, I am definitely coming back here.

    The waiting game, watching them work on my car.

    Raul and the crew were real cool about helping me with my tire that blew out. Came in and they replaced two of my tires, gave my an oil change, and rotated the tires. Can't complain the service was A1 in and out in a little over an hour. Probably going to be my go to spot for oil changes and tires from here on out when in the San Mateo area.

    This is the result of what happened to my truck after it was left in AMA tires for several months and really bad replacement of a fuel pump.
    Alvaro L.

    I don't know how to start....my father was a customer that would take his work trucks for repairs, tires, oil change, etc. Everyone that worked there knew him and would appreciate his business. But like all it came to an end. My father took my truck there to replace a gas pump on a 1986 Chevrolet Pick-up truck. This truck has 2 gas tanks and what did with them telling us was that they canceled a gas tank and made it into just 1. We let it slide and continued. I picked up the truck with a full tank of gas drove back to Hayward and went to sleep. next day I went to class still full tank of gas and when I got out I left to San Leandro Kaiser for my volunteer work. I was on the freeway when i notice the gas gauge rapidly decreasing and smelled a lot of gas. I got out of the free way, to go home and drop it off. When I was at a red light waiting for it to turn green, my engine ignited in fire WHILE I WAS STILL inside. Luckily I got out before the rest of my truck caught on fire. I'm pretty sure most of the mechanic there do not have a title or certified to work as a mechanic. By the way this was the time Raul was manager. After my incident, I found out he quit and i find that very suspicious. I wish they really do take care of their customers and hopefully this does not happen to anyone.

    Broken TPMS

    Don't go here. I requested to have my tires flipped and in doing so they broke my TPMS sensor and DID NOT mention it. (Was working before bringing it to the shop) I was told that the service was free after picking the car up but was not informed why it was. Upon getting my tires replaced at my usual/ local shop we discovered that the sensor was damaged not from use but from improper handling. This is going to cost me over $80 replace. Long story short, if you want to deal with dishonest and not so great service come here. I would recommend going to Mission Tire in Redwood City for amazing service and prices.

    This review is meant for a full set of tire replacements on 10/29/2025 and subsequent warranty…read morereplacement for driver side rear tire on 1/19/26. Invoices are attached highlighting the staff that helped as well as things I felt were important to highlight. Basically: the price-matching and the hassle-free warranty replacement (since damage was deemed irreparable). What isn't shown in the invoices is how attentive and considerate Mauricio (red shirt) was during my warranty replacement visit. Highlights: (1) he put my car in the system such that I would be immediately next in line as soon as the replacement tire came in, (2) spent considerable extra time with me to diagnose TPMS (tire pressure monitor) issues after the replacement, and; (3) made sure I had face-to-face contact with another red-shirt member (Sebastian) in case my TPMS issues were unresolved when Mauricio is not present. I did want to mention that it was extremely busy when I came in. It took me some time to actually get to talk to Mauricio specifically, but his professionalism was worth the wait. Lastly, I wanted to give a shout out to the technicians that actually serviced my vehicle on 10/29/25 and 01/19/26: those guys did fine by me. PS: Mauricio was right; driving a few miles fixed my TPMS issue. PPS: With the amount of construction in Millbrae and Burlingame, I'll probably see these guys again--when I do I'll be confident I'll be taken care of well.

I went back around 3:30 to see where things were at and to wait around for my car since I didn't have anything better to do. They had a line of 28 people waiting for their cars to be worked on. They were telling everybody, all 28 of those cars, that they would be done by 6 PM. There was a guy who came in to check on the car that he left yesterday, they told him his car would also be done by 6 PM. I believed them 0% that my car was gonna get touched this evening and I drove away after wasting nearly 5 hours, at 4:45, with a screw still in my tire. editing this at 6:40 the same day, they called because they were finally ready to begin service on my car. lmfao!

    Dear Big O Tires San Mateo Management,…read more I am writing to share my appreciation for the excellent service I have received at your San Mateo location. I have been bringing my vehicle to this shop for my last five oil changes and inspections required for ride-sharing, and each time I have left completely satisfied. Your team is professional, knowledgeable, and consistently goes above and beyond to make customers feel important. I especially want to highlight Alonzo; he always ensures that I am well taken care of and provides a level of service that is truly impressive. It is clear that you have a great team of hardworking individuals who take pride in their work. I will continue to bring my business to this location and recommend it to others. Best regards, Vernel Primus

    Very dishonest business. I came in wanting help with a flat tire. Rodrigo said my calipers were…read morerubbing against my rotor and needed an immediate $1.5k fix. I wanted validation of that first. Rodrigo came out to show me and was making up all sorts of stuff like feel the grooves, it needs a replacement. Still not convinced as I wasn't getting a straight answer to how many mm are left with proof, I went under the car and took this picture. There is more than 50% left, about 70% of a full pad. The little low pad warning visual helper notch is still there as well. Are the clerks incentivized to make one time sales over running a honest business? Please make good win-win long term decisions for yourself Big O. I appreciate the tire repair but not the dishonest upsell. An honest gauge of where my brakes are with a plan to follow up would have made the sale, not lying repeatedly and dodging my validating questions. Thanks, a local nearby would-be regular customer

    Super incredible service. I found these guys through Reddit and needed to get my brakes replaced…read morelast minute. I called in today, and they asked me to come by first so they could properly diagnose the issue. They inspected both my front and rear brakes and confirmed that the grinding noise was coming from the rear pads. They were completely honest and let me know my front pads still had plenty of life left, instead of trying to upsell me on parts I didn't need. After confirming the issue, they ordered the parts, which arrived within about an hour. Once the parts came in, they knocked out the brake job in just 30-40 minutes. Super fast, transparent, and professional from start to finish. They also topped off my fluids and filled my tires, which I really appreciated. They walked me through everything and showed me exactly what was going on, which made me feel like I could truly trust their honesty--unlike some other shops that might try to say you definitely need new rotors or extra work done. Very fair pricing as well. I couldn't have asked for better service. If you're looking for a trustworthy shop, come support this small business--they clearly know what they're doing. I'll definitely be coming back here 100%. Thanks again.

I also did Differential Fluid on my GT86 since I don't want to deal with lifting up lowered cars and they finish it before quote time! Wally also a great guy and know what he's doing for sure, coming from someone in automotive schools. Keep in mind if your older than 2000's or lack OB2, you might need to take to different places but other than that, I would recommend coming here for quick smog checks or other basic maintenance.
