    American tire Depot
    Leo B.

    Oh no.....oh no..... "Traditional scammers" we've all heard that many mechanics auto shops cannot be trusted, This is precisely exactly that.... They cannot be trusted, I went to the shop only for a estimate and then I was going to leave and make my own decision but Barack shoved it down my throat that I must get the car repaired asap, He was speaking in a tone of dread, "all fake" all a scam and upper management in this company allows it because they know that this goes on and they will not stop it, I've heard through the reviews that he and other desk managers at American tire Depot are on commission, I'm guessing they are because he/Barak will use any tactic he can to try to force you to decide right then and there to get the work done there, And then the workers play in on his game and push the customers to spend the very highest amounts of money to get their car worked on but here's the thing I don't even think they really worked on my car I think they traded out possibly took out the part that they said was faulty and then just stuck in another old part that they collect when they swap it out from customers cars that come in, I got no proof at all that this place put any new parts in my car and I paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars for the parts and I paid a total of $1,700 for "the so-called repair"after they said I was all done I paid got in my car and left within a few seconds the car didn't feel right and within 90 seconds I knew something was really really wrong because when I drove INTO the business my car was feeling like perfection I had had other mechanics over the last 2 months make my car run supremely well... and I was only going into this place to ask them basically a ESTIMATE question and was forced into a FAKE repair, again when I left the place within minutes I knew something was horribly wrong steering wheel wasn't even working The car was making a half a dozen scary noises, I tried to call over to the shop but they had already completely closed down for the day because it was the end of the day, I'm sickened that I even trusted these people, Do not trust any positive reviews, Do everything you can to be intuitive whenever you go to any auto shop and also get multiple estimates from multiple shops before you turn over your money.... "Note any red flags"The red flags I experienced were while my car was lifted up in the air and couldn't do anything about it everything was already in the process, and the mechanic that was working on my car look like he wasn't over 22 years old so basically almost no experience and I end up leaving for the day with a car that CANNIT be used, I can't drive my car, Henry and Robert that are supposed to be the upper management or district managers need to fire these crooked employees and change up their whole system and "do customers right".... If This shop in Chula Vista did this to me imagine what they're doing to every single customer why would they just choose me... That's not the case, It's that they do it to EVERYBODY and if you read the reviews for all the locations in Southern California they're all saying the same thing that this company practices scam practices to try to strip the customer of every dollar they can get I was overcharged across the board, when I drove off the lot The car's not even safe to drive after what they did to my car.... I'm the type of person "who's completely on it" completely aware of everything going on with my car and I love car engines so I'm basically very knowledgeable but after what these guys did to me believe me they're doing it to everybody and if any of the positive reviews here are actually real these people haven't yet learned "of the american tire depot scam" and they're willing to throw away large amounts of money.

    I'm writing this review to give a completely transparent account of my experience so other customers can make informed decisions. My wife originally had a small screw in her tire. We brought the vehicle to American Tire Depot on Broadway in Chula Vista because they offered to repair it. The tire was nearly new and only needed a simple repair. The shop performed the repair and sent us on our way. The very next day the TPMS light came back on and the tire was still losing air. After checking the tire myself with soapy water, I confirmed that air was still leaking from the same repair area. To be fair, I had the tire inspected by two completely independent tire shops that had no knowledge of the situation. Both shops told me the same thing: the tire had been excessively sanded during the repair and the structural integrity of the tire was compromised. They also explained that current industry standards require a plug-and-patch repair from inside the tire, while the repair performed here was only a patch. At that point I contacted corporate. The district manager stepped in and agreed that the tire should be replaced. I appreciated that part of the process. However, when I arrived at the Broadway location for the replacement, the experience became extremely uncomfortable. Despite the replacement already being approved and the tire already being sourced, the store manager repeatedly tried to convince me to keep the original tire and allow them to repair it again instead of installing the new tire. Another employee kept insisting that the other tire shops were "just trying to sell me a tire," even though those shops had no knowledge of this situation and independently reached the same conclusion. At one point it honestly felt like the tire might not be replaced at all until the manager asked one of the technicians if they had plugs available to perform a plug-and-patch repair. The technician responded that they did not have plugs available. That was concerning because plug-and-patch repairs are considered the standard method in the industry. The conversation then shifted back to installing the replacement tire. During the discussion the manager also said he would personally pay for the tire, which made the situation uncomfortable because it felt like a guilt tactic to pressure me into accepting another repair instead of the replacement that had already been approved. I also had another technician repeatedly inserting himself into the conversation with his personal opinions even though I was already speaking directly with the manager. Eventually the new tire was installed, but the experience didn't end there. The manager kept my keys while he stayed on a phone call for more than ten minutes even after I explained that I was on my lunch break and needed to get back to work. I ended up spending almost an hour at the shop. Because of the delay I returned to work more than 30 minutes late and was written up by my employer. After leaving the shop and driving back to work, the tire pressure warning light came back on because the tire was not set to the correct PSI and the TPMS system had not been properly calibrated. This was surprising because during the visit the manager had mentioned that they were the best when it comes to tire repairs and installations, yet the TPMS system was not reset properly. What concerns me the most is that if my wife had been the one bringing the vehicle in instead of me, she may have been persuaded to accept another repair instead of the replacement that had already been approved. I'm not writing this out of anger. I'm writing this so customers understand the full story and can make informed decisions. The tire was eventually replaced, which I appreciate, but the process to get there was unnecessarily difficult and uncomfortable. Transparency matters, especially when it comes to something as important as the safety of a vehicle tire.

(1200 for radiator and hoses) * Shortly afterward: While driving, the hood unexpectedly opened, damaging the hood and shattering the windshield and almost causing wreck on freeway. * I had the vehicle independently inspected for approximately $200 after the shop initially denied responsibility. The inspection found many loose peaces of hardware relating to the radiator repair and the hood latch had been left loose. * After further discussion and inspection, Brake Stop accepted responsibility for the hood failure and agreed to repair the resulting damage. * The Jeep remained at the shop for nearly three weeks while the repairs were completed. Communication during this period was frustratingly limited, with me generally having to call for updates. * 8/27/26: I picked up the Jeep. The hood, windshield, hood struts and hood release cable had been repaired/replaced at no cost to me, and reluctantly reimbursed my $200 inspection expense. Did not offer refund for botched repairs Ultimately, I appreciate that the owner took responsibility and made the vehicle right. However, the original incident was extremely stressful and could have been dangerous, and I was disappointed that the vehicle was released after the radiator repair with the hood latch apparently not properly secured.

The Call Center misled me into thinking they were at the store and they are NOT! Your Call Center should be more transparent about this. This is a MAJOR ISSUE. Your Call Center assured me that they "will get me in and out" with brakes, an oil change, and four new tires at 4 pm, and to "come right in", and "I have a 4 pm appt for you". LIES!! I walked into the store and they were slammed.. Simón said that there was no 4 pm appt for me, but he would take good care of me anyways. I raised my voice at him, "I just talked to you!" "You said 'in & out'". He calmly said he did not talk to me, but will take good care of me. I calmed myself. I was so angry. He said he would NEVER make a 4 pm appt for someone who needed brakes, 4 tires, and an oil change, when they close at 5 pm. It all made perfect sense. Simón offered to get my tires and oil change started, but offered to inspect my car to see if I even needed brakes. I agreed. It turned out my back brakes were at 6 mm and my fronts were 4 mm, so I still had time to change them. They squeezed me in even though they had cars they were trying to get out of the shop. EXCELLENT management by these guys to fix the predicament their "Call Center" had suckered me into. Evan's Tire & Service in Lemon Grove is a super place with super employees! They gave me a great price, and I was out of there at 5 pm. You need to fix your Call Center though- these stores are welcoming angry customers like me, because they are being lied to. Good job Simón & crew! I owe you one. The Call Center review would be 0 stars.

I had my serpentine belt replace here and I started hearing a squealing sound only afterwards. The noise never ended up resolving and I reached out to the mechanic afterwards. I went out of my way to drop my car off overnight on two separate occasions where he told me that he found nothing wrong with the belt and suggested that there might be an oil leak but wouldn't be able to further troubleshoot without additional labor cost. I asked him if he could check the belt tension as to whether its overtightened or undertightened and gave very specific details about what conditions the noises came out in. I specified the noise came out when I first started the car despite time of day and temperature outside, and also more likely when the AC is on and that it would almost always come out when I made my first big turn when driving. He suggested that it could be due to something else but I insisted that it was the serpentine belt because it only happened after he replaced the belt and that it was exacerbated only when I turned my steering wheel all the way (my car uses power steering via serpentine belt) and when the AC was on (AC powered by serpentine belt). He continued to insist that it wasn't the belt. I asked him if I could record the sound and show him the video so he could hear what it sounded like. He told me that these things can only be diagnosed in person and continued to refuse to review any video or audio recordings of the issue even to have a better understanding of the problem. This issue persisted for months and is extremely embarassing to deal with because my car would squeal whenever I'd leave a public parking lot or pull my car out of parking. Ultimately, this issue was resolved by another mechanic who listened to my video recordings and my experience and took my suggestion to review the serpentine belt and it's tensioner. The other mechanic was able to fix the problem for free in just one go despite not having been the person to actually replace the belt themselves.
