    Brand new tires from Big O., they don't even bother to clean. After spending $500 for 2 front tires. At the Milpitas Bog O Sept. 10, 2025

    The worst I've ever been to. No more of this Tire Store for me and my family. Paid $500. + for 2 tires and Alignment. Waited 4 hours and this is what I got. Brand New Tired that are so filthy. Showed it to Salesperson, his excuse, that I was in a hurry, no time to clean... i was there for 4 hours Bye filthy Big O,...... no more of you

    Unlatched airbox... sucking dirt and sounding like an aftermarket intake...

    Complete incompetence and carelessness is the only way to describe this shop. I had bought 4 new tires a few months back and scheduled an appointment to have them rotated. Let's go down the list of their mistakes. 1) when I went to leave I had to go back and ask for my wheel lock key... technician had left it on the toolbox in the shop 2) they tried to call and sell me coolant exchange and spark plugs... these services were not due per the owners manual 3) did not set the tire pressure upon rotation and I had a low pressure indication on the way to work. My car has ABS based TPMS so I had to reset the system, then fill the tires to factory settings when reset again. 4) engine was making a funny noise like the car had an aftermarket intake. I pulled over and popped the hood. They had checked the engine air filter (probably to try and upsell me) but didn't latch the air box after resulting in loud intake sounds like the car had an aftermarket intake. I latched it myself and went on my way. Images attached of air box left open... This is the worst experience I had ever had with a shop in my 23 years of driving and taking care of cars. Avoid this shop at all costs.

    Probably the worst experience with replacing a tire. They installed a flat tire, then tried to make us pay for a replacement.

    Does this Big O honor Pacific Tire Outlet tire rotation?

    They said they would. But they don't. I purchased two new tires and they did not rotate my two other tires that were 8 Months old, but they said they did. I had marked them so I knew they did not rotate. If you want to go to a tire store and have…

    As someone new to the Bay Area, it was difficult to find a trustworthy place to take my car until I…read morecame across Stress-Free Auto Care (Milpitas location). From my very first visit, I felt confident because everything was handled with transparency. There were no "surprise" charges or unnecessary repairs. I truly recommend this shop, especially the Milpitas location, not only for the quality of work but also for the staff who take the time to clearly explain the repairs. A special recognition to Travis (Milpitas), who went above and beyond and made sure at all times that I clearly understood the work being done as well as the costs involved. I genuinely felt confident that my car was in good hands.

    BEWARE -- DO NOT GO HERE!!…read more Horrible customer service, questionable diagnosis, and a very disappointing experience from start to finish. We took our work van to Stress Free Auto Care after finding them on Yelp. They were close to home and, more importantly, veteran-owned. As a company that supports veteran nonprofits, we were excited to support another veteran-owned business--even though their pricing was higher than other shops we considered. Our van had been having issues starting and randomly shutting off. They quickly diagnosed it and sent us an estimate for around $1,200, which we approved. We were told it would be ready by the end of the day and picked it up the following morning. The very next day, the van broke down multiple times on the freeway, nearly causing accidents. This was extremely dangerous and terrifying. We immediately contacted the shop and were told to bring it back. We had to leave the van at a jobsite and figure out how to get it back to San Jose, which created even more stress and disruption to our business. We dropped it off in the morning and heard nothing all day. The next morning, we had to follow up ourselves, only to be told they were still running diagnostics. We were then told there was now another issue that would cost even more to repair. If the original diagnosis was incorrect, I expected the shop to take some responsibility and offer a reasonable solution. Instead, the resolution offered was a "free" diagnostic--which is essentially already credited toward service anyway. There was no real effort to make things right, no empathy for the situation, and no meaningful resolution. We were basically told we could come pick up the van. Business owner to business owner: this is not how you take care of customers. When a customer spends over $1,200 based on your diagnosis and their vehicle breaks down immediately afterward, leaving them with a dangerous, non-operational work vehicle, you should be doing everything possible to make it right. This entire experience has been incredibly STRESSFUL. STRESS FREE AUTO CARE?! Yeah, right. Take your business elsewhere.

I recently had a slight flat tire on only one of my tires so I wanted to make sure I can go to a reliable tire shop that can patch this tire. Having been to a few shops in the past with long service or unreliable results, I decided to hedge my bets with Great Mall Tire Outlet hearing that they do good results on a variety of cars ranging from regular gas to heavier Teslas with the insulating foam. The location was a bit sketchy at first but after coming in and getting all the details written down, car was quickly driven in and worked on for at least ~1 hour and was good to go. Drove around for more than 1 week and confirmed the flat was good as gone and all done for $50 is not too bad! One of the few reviews that I ironically want to say I won't come back to but if I do, I'll be confident Frank can do the job well done again.

My dad recommended Great Mall Tire Outlet because the owner, Frank, used to work at our family's old go-to spot, Pacific Tire. Frank's team fixed the tire quickly and didn't even charge me because it was such a simple job. It's rare to find this kind of honesty and Frank + his team do amazing work. I highly recommend them!

I went to investigate and it was near the oil filter housing it attaches to. drove it to Exact motorsports to have them evaluate, and Sandy & John were helpful in diagnosing the problems. They seem to be very knowledgable with the toyota/lexus platform. They gave me a reasonable quote and I left the car with them. They also mentioned it was probably due for new spark plugs, and a new valve cover gasket so I had them throw that in there as well. When I picked up the car, it drove much more efficiently and no more leaks! Turns out it was a broken O ring. I enjoyed that experience, so a year later (Nov 2025) my belt was squeeking a lot in cold weather. They were able to diagnose and swap the belt to a new one within a day or so. No more squeeks in the cold mornings. The best part about exact is that its a mom and pop, locally owned shop that doesnt put you in a upsell, pressure environment. They tell you what you need, what you dont need, and what are nice to do but not urgent so you can make your choices for the best quote. I will be going to them for any future needs for my Lexus, and have been recommending them to my friends and family for the same purposes.

That's why finding Kris was such a blessing. From the very beginning, Kris treated me with kindness, honesty, and professionalism. He took the time to explain everything, kept me updated throughout the process, and never made me feel like just another customer. During a stressful situation, his patience and communication made a world of difference. What impressed me most was his attention to detail. He wasn't interested in simply getting the job done, he wanted to make sure it was done right. That level of care and pride in his work is hard to find these days. I had no idea this hidden gem of a shop even existed, but I can confidently say I won't be taking my vehicle anywhere else. Not only did Kris get my Chevy back on the road, but he returned it in better condition than it was before the engine issues started. If you're looking for someone who is honest, knowledgeable, professional, and offers fair, affordable rates, Kris is the real deal. I will absolutely be returning for oil changes, maintenance, and any future vehicle repairs. Thank you, Kris, for helping me through a stressful situation and treating me with such kindness and respect. You've earned a customer for life(:
