    My family and I use to come here all the time since we moved here to get our cars repaired. Just…read morerecently, I took my car in January to repair the clutch actuator in my hybrid and they took 4 months to complete the repair after trial and error. They took on a bigger project than they were qualified for, damaging a part after another, eventually replacing the hybrid battery and transmission. They always had an excuse pushing the deadline on every single inbound call. After applying daily pressure on them on a continuous basis , I finally received my car in April, however, the shop still owes me $583 for one of the car rentals they told me to purchase. I kept calling to retrieve the money but they didn't keep their word and denied paying me back. I could have easily placed a lien on the business for $583 with all the proof to retrieve my money but you know my good heart didn't follow through. Instead, writing this review will sting bigger and is the least I can do for the people. Im an easy going guy but after going through this extensive car repair, we decided to pull away from doing any future business for the wrong doing and unprofessionalism of their actions. I believe it's only right for everyone to hear about this and avoid what I went through, therefore, save yourself a headache. The owner is not a man of his word. This will bake in slowly. P.S. I also have screenshots, messages, and documents in case they want to lie and deny the truth.

    Despite what the owner stated in the past, I've had my Ford worked on over there several…read moretimes.....all for the same problem.....the transmission! The 1st time I thought all went well, until when he had the car delivered, on the receipt was stamped 6 mos warranty! Well, after I authorized him to repair the transmission....he said that he would give me a 1 year warranty. When I asked him about the 6 mos warranty stamp, he said "no worries they made a mistake....I will honor 1 year." I paid him $3,200 for the job. WHO in their right mind would agree to only a 6 mos warranty after paying that much?! So, the car ran well for about 7 months, then transmission went out. I called him, and had the car towed back over there. He said that " you know it's out of warranty, but I will see what I can do". So now he forgets about what he initially told me! So, he kept my car for another 6 mos......dodging all of my calls, and making up B.S. excuses about why my car wasn't ready! When I got the car back he told me that he would not give me a new warranty! The car ran for another few months....then transmission went out again! Smh SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! Oh, and he must know someone over here at YELP, because he had my 2 prior reviews taken down! Smh

    What a great experience!!!! ---…read more ** 5.0** I wish I could give more than 5 stars on this review. Wholesale Tire and Automotive is the only shop I trust with my cars. Kenni, the owner, is amazing and always makes sure you're fully informed. Her mechanic Michael is incredibly sharp -- he diagnosed and fixed an issue on my daughter's BMW that a "name brand" shop had written off as unrepairable. It runs perfectly now. Based on that, I brought my Suburban in before a 6,000-mile road trip for my daughter's college move-in. Josiah and Kenni walked me through everything it needed, and the truck runs just like new. Fair prices, honest work, great people. Do yourself a favor and give them your business -- I won't take my cars anywhere else.

    2010 Jetta 2.5L (Oil and Coolant leak, yes we know these cars have their issues)…read more I paid $1,300 for oil and coolant leak repairs. While they did fix the oil leak from the brake vacuum pump (with customer provided part), the rest of the experience was a disaster of poor diagnostics and unauthorized billing. * Unresolved Coolant Leak: Charged to replace the coolant flange, but the car leaked coolant immediately after picking it up. Basically felt like I had to figure the problem out before bringing it back in, and/or I wasn't believed that the issue was still happening. I called back a few days later after coolant level had dropped, was told it was air pockets. Refilled and waited another week. Lost another quart+ of coolant. We park it in the dirt so I placed a tray under the vehicle and caught quite a bit of coolant with an observed active drip a day after the car had been resting (this was all communicated to Kenni with a picture). At this point she said I could bring it in, as I felt like the diagnostic was being pushed onto me to not waste their mechanics time. * Unauthorized Shifter Cable: Replaced a shifter cable during the leak repair completely without my consent or prior authorization. * Defective Recheck & Dismissive Attitude: When I brought the car back, they drove it hot instead of letting it sit cold to locate the drip, then claimed they couldn't find anything. Rather than taking responsibility, they acted like it was my fault for owning the car and made it clear they didn't want to invest any more shop hours into actually solving the problem. * Surprise Diagnostic Fee: Ran a $60 chemical block test without my permission, billed me for it, and still couldn't identify the leak. The owner is personable and gives off a "family-like, straight shooter" vibe at the counter, but that friendly helpful demeanor vanished once things got complicated and time consuming for the shop. The right thing to do would be to offer some kind of refund, but since that was not offered by default for not resolving the issue, I am going to assume this happens more often than not on certain repairs and is not worth my time to fight or challenge other than leaving a detailed review to warn others. Doing unauthorized work, shifting blame to the customer, and leaving a $1,300 bill with an active coolant leak makes it impossible to recommend this shop.

On he last job he did for me he told me he thought someone stole my catalytic converter, and I said , I think the muffler just fell off, then he said bring it in early in the morning so he could look at it and get the parts for it, he changed me 320, and did absolutely nothing to it but slip it back on and tighten it back on which takes like 5 minutes, cause when I moved it fell off and I had to put it back on, then I took it to a muffler shop and asked if anything was replaced, they said no, it was all the original part, he is a thief. So I tried to contact him but he just ignored me, so im letting his costumers know what a fake he is and if you do business with him ask for the part boxes and your extra parts when dealing with a crook. I also let the bbb know about his business dealings Oh I caught him before to charging me for parts I didn't need, but I still lived there , and he reversed the charges, lol

I took it in to see if they could check it out. I was lucky to have spoken to Anthony. He was very kind but direct and showed me what the possible problem could be based on the age of the car, sound and fumes. But he made it clear he would need to use the lift to confirm. He was apologetic he couldn't take care of it right away due to their current workload so I took it in the next week, and in the same day it was ready for pick up. He was right, it was the part he thought but instead of a crack it was fully broken in half! Luckily, he is a welder and I didn't need to buy a new piece. It was my first time going to a mechanic in Corona so I appreciated the service received as I was anxious to find a reliable mechanic. The cost was fair and I am so appreciative it was done so quick. My car is running great again!

    Very disappointing experience at Mountain View Tire & Auto Service. I scheduled a 9:30 AM…read moresit-and-wait appointment online for routine preventative maintenance and an oil change. When I arrived, Stephanie at the front desk immediately told me that I would have to either leave my vehicle for the day or come back another day because there were only two technicians working and they had "pretty big jobs." At that point, I questioned why I was able to schedule a sit-and-wait appointment for 9:30 AM if the shop was not actually able to accommodate it. Her response and overall attitude were extremely rude and dismissive, as though my appointment was an inconvenience to her. She then told me that because my vehicle is a Wheels vehicle, it would take even longer because they needed to get approval. I explained that I have brought this same vehicle in for preventative maintenance before and there has never been an issue with an approval process. These are scheduled maintenance services, so I was confused about what exactly needed approval. When I asked her about it, she said everything had to go through an "AI system" and that this was simply "the process at this store." This made even less sense considering I had taken my vehicle in for the same type of preventative maintenance just four months ago and everything was completed without any issue or approval process. I then asked how long the service would take. She told me it would be until the end of the day, which she said meant 7 PM. I asked her, "How is it going to take until 7 PM if I have an appointment at 9:30 AM?" She looked at me, rolled her eyes, and simply said, "There's other appointments." This is exactly what I find so frustrating about this experience. Having an appointment at this location seems to be treated like an inconvenience to the store, when the entire purpose of an appointment is to schedule a service at a specific time and the customer is literally paying the store for that service. If the location is so understaffed or overbooked that they cannot honor scheduled appointments, why not call customers ahead of time and let them know? Instead, customers are left to drive to the store, rearrange their schedules, and waste their time only to be told that their appointment essentially means nothing. That is incredibly frustrating and, quite honestly, insulting. I completely understand that a shop can get busy and that unexpected delays happen. What I do not understand is accepting a 9:30 AM sit-and-wait appointment when you already know you cannot reasonably accommodate it, and then treating the customer poorly for asking questions about it. What made this experience even worse was Stephanie's attitude throughout the entire interaction. She was rude, dismissive, spoke to me in a very loud and condescending manner, and made me feel as though I was inconveniencing her by asking completely reasonable questions about an appointment I had scheduled. Because of this experience, I called the Norco location to see if they could accommodate me instead. The difference in customer service was honestly night and day. The staff there were much nicer, more helpful, and actually honored the appointment. I was able to bring my vehicle in for the same preventative maintenance and oil change and was in and out in about an hour and 20 minutes the same day. So clearly, it is possible to provide good customer service and properly manage scheduled appointments. At the Mountain View location, after I told Stephanie I was going somewhere else, she looked at me, rolled her eyes again, grabbed my keys, and continued to act completely dismissive. I asked for her name, and she smiled and said, "Stephanie." This entire interaction happened in front of other customers in the lobby, which made the situation even more uncomfortable. I have no problem with a shop being busy. What I do have a problem with is accepting appointments that you clearly cannot accommodate and then treating customers poorly when they question it. If you cannot honor the appointments you offer, then stop offering them or, at the very least, have the courtesy to call customers ahead of time. I would not recommend this location based on my experience. The customer service was extremely poor, the communication was unacceptable, and the way I was treated was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. After this experience, I will be taking my vehicle to the Norco location instead.
