Accolades to Barak! I get it. We want our cars to be perfect. And we want businesses to be as well. I'm in the shop. A customer expressed lots of expletives, frustration, and unprofessional behavior toward Barak. The customer was flustered & would walk outside to shout out his anguish. Barak stayed level-headed, called whomever he could to help get the part, promised to make it right. All while enduring the customers venom. This is why I've been a consistent customer. Not only is the mechanic workmanship excellent but the professional demeanor is outstanding!! He deserves more than raise. The entire shop deserves stock in the company. BTW I'm still coming here. Every month. No worries. I drive A LOT in the streets, windy roads and in the mountains. Barak, Rudy & mechanics keeps my car mechanically reliable. And you know what? They don't have you waiting for waits time sake. The company is a brand but I can only speak to this locations excellence.

10/10 this place has replace all my tires , done a wheel alignment, all break pads and inspection , oil change , and now have fixed my car after I got in an accident! They are reliable all the time prices are reasonable workers are trust worthy. And communicative. I have been coming coming here since my first car till this day. I recommend this place to friends and family and to you as well !

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.

Oil leak still happening

I've spent over $1300 to have them fix the engine oil leak on my vehicle and they could'nt fix it. Returned twice so maybe they can figure it out. Left my vehicle with them for at least 2 Weeks however their final call was "that's all we can/could do". And they charge me again when i returned and told me it was still leaking. lol I just took my keys and left ...there is nothing else to discuss. Not recommended at all and its going to be a waste of your time and money.

I recommend Magic Tire Shop, go here for your tires. Returning customer; I lost count of how many…read moretimes I've gotten tires here, a minimum of three times for over a decade with different vehicles. --Zero inconveniences. I also believe these are the same consistent people, I feel I recognize them. Before I would call and get a quote, this time I contacted Magic Tire through Yelp. They're always patient & exercise brevity, they were fast with messaging. I didn't go for the budget or used as usual, they sourced premium tires for me that I asked for and they didn't have. I'm pedantic, I always get quotes from a few shops to learn what's reasonable and I'm curious. Magic Tire is consistently the best deal. I'm a 'my-first-offer-is-my-best-offer' sort, I haven't even bothered to haggle because their first quote is sharply competitive and I respect their time. I couldn't buy the tires independently and have a shop install them for me for cheaper. I pulled the figures and did the math; tire price, taxes, installation, etc. Today's visit was perfect, as it has been everytime I've gone, they were all the positive adjectives about their service. They have the best quote, multiple-technician fast installation, and the tires meet expectations. --In the time it took you to read this review, you could've had a quote by now. Bring cash.

This branch is superb! First, I yelped about tires, it gave…read moreme several options to choose, but the top most option Yelp gave me was this Discount Tires branch. Read their reviews, clicked their website, searched for the tires I needed. And of course the tires I needed must fit my budget. There were several branded tires that were offering discounts, huge discount. I signed in to get my $80 discount on Yokohama tires that were already on sale. Nevertheless, I called this branch; and the person I spoke to was very polite and helpful. I asked for a quote and asked if I can get the $80 discount being offered by Yokohama. He gave me the $80 discount on my 4 Yokohama tires, plus an extra Military/Veteran discount. Carlos (the rep that I spoke to over the phone) asked me if I want to get an appointment, and I agreed; so he gave me an appointment. Anyway, we just walked in on the same day I spoke to Carlos in to this branch, got in line, and when it was our turn (approximately 7 minutes in line) I told the guy (Saul is his name) that I already made an appointment and I have a record of the tires I needed, and of course the quoted discount amount Carlos gave me. He retrieved my record. The staff in this store are very helpful, polite, friendly, and most of all very transparent and honest. We only waited for a total of 40 minutes (walked-in) and our vehicle is all ready with new sets of tires. There are nearby stores where you can window shop while waiting. I'm recommending this branch 100%. Oh by the way, thank you much Yelp for your guidance in obtaining what I needed; you are simply the best!

This was by far the worst customer service experience I've ever had…read more For over 3 months, Discount Tire kept calling me, claiming I never paid for my TPMS sensors and that I still owed them money. The manager, Samuel, was rude from the beginning and even told me I had "got free sensors." After telling me he wouldn't contact me again about the issue, he turned around and charged my card $1,756 without telling me. After going back and forth with Samuel he kept insisting the charge was correct and that I hadn't been double charged. When I said I was going to call corporate, Samuel got defensive and told me corporate wouldn't help because "only I can give you your money back." He also claimed the charge on my account was just a hold and that my original invoice from March had never actually been completed. After getting nowhere Samuel, I told them I was prepared to take them to small claims court over the $1,756 If the issue wasnt resolved. 3 days later, a different employee called me and admitted I was right the whole time. They found that my card had in fact been charged twice and told me I'd be getting a refund within five business days. After more than three months of phone calls, arguing, and being told I was wrong, they finally admitted their mistake. An apology would go a long way but I doubt I will hear from them again If you decide to do business here, I'd recommend keeping a close eye on your bank statements. And if you've been a customer before, I'd also suggest asking them to remove any credit or debit cards they still have saved on file. I definitely won't be coming back.
