Yes, they will most definitely recommend services your car does not need. When you ask them point blank "How much are those fluid replacements going to add to my bill?", they will lie and say $300, and you won't know that it actually cost you $600 until you pick up your car. They will fail to make the repairs that you know are needed and they will charge you for repairs that they didn't do. You have to know more about your car than they do or risk being told that original bushings on an 8 year old diesel 4x4 truck don't need to be replaced. If you can get past all of that, then you likely won't mind getting your car back with an oil leak so bad your engine compartment is dripping with motor oil and you can't get the smell of burnt oil out of your hair. The manager here, let's call him TG, is pushy, irreverent and will not take no for an answer. He will look for and find every possible thing he can get you on the hook for, not because he cares about the customer, but for the sole purpose of padding his sale. He will not tell the mechanic about the issues you're having with your vehicle because he does not want the mechanic to work on your vehicle for that long. And the mechanic will skip doing the wheel alignment that you paid for. They will both let you go on your merry way having been lied to and robbed you of your money. Over $5000 at Big NO and 2 trips to a AAA mechanic to fix what Big NO failed to fix, not only will you write a scathing review on yelp, but you will translate it into every language in the world so you can spare as many people as possible from going through what you went through with Big NO. The events shared here are 100% accurate. Don't ever go to Big O. You will live to regret it. read more

Been coming for a couple years now. They never try to sell me things I don't need, have often given me a ride home from the shop, and once even allowed me to make a payment arrangement during a dire car situation. Also love the Sunday hours, plus they check everything important in my car every visit. I once broke down across the street and they went and got my car! I'm also one of those people that asks a lot of questions and requires a complete explanation of every service, and they've always been patient and thorough in their responses. To address other reviews, I cannot comment on the tires, as I have only had preventative maintenance services and the occasional larger mechanical repair performed. And, yes, there is usually a long wait, but most of the time they give me an accurate estimate of my wait time. And I have never, ever been charged for anything I did not expressly authorize and sign for! read more

First of all I just want to say Big O Tires lack of customer Service has nothing to do with the times we're having now with Covid19. I have been waiting in this cold building I mean extra cold. I have waited over and a half for just an update. I have left the building 3 times and all three times my car sat in the same spot. No work has even been done nothing was started. To remind you I have already been here for over an hour and now work is even started. I have seen several people in and out for the duration I've been waiting. Even people came and got work done after I got here and left before I left. I completely understand the work load, but you have front desk workers looking clueless like dear in headlights. If your going to sit there at least give some updates through the day not when you see me angry and have me to ask for an update. All this would have been solved if I didn't have to ask for my keys back, because I would have just left- nothing said but a long review. I am the only person sitting I. The lobby and the front desk couldn't even find the decency to provide me with an update. All I needed was just one tire replaced and it took over two hours. read more

I have a 2016 Honda Accord Sport. It requires 235/35/19 size tired. Service advisor Eduardo inspected the tires and said they were 18 vs 19 inch even though the tires clearly state 19 inch. He provided a price which was acceptable. Drove to Discount Tire a block away for another opinion and they informed me that only 19 inch tired would work. Great price and very thorough sales advisors Sorry Big O. You lost out on nearly $1,000.00. Discount Tire rocks. read more

Poor guys, had a person leave their shop today and left one service tech in the service bay. On a Sunday when all the other Big O's around me where closed. I've been waiting almost 2 hours for a tire rotation. Enough said... Update July 23- I talked to a manager after a brake quote of $340 after 2 and a half hour wait. I wondered why so much after I just needed my pads in the back replaced and only paid 156 and some change. So the manager was rude at the end of our conversation and will be reported to BBB. BE AWARE OF THIS PLACE. They are independently owned and think they can get away with this. read more

Came in yesterday as a walk-in for a simple oil change on my vehicle but it was almost closing time and had to reschedule for the following day at 3 the attendant himself was unprofessional asking me about getting a job with my employer after I just got off of work. I left and came back the next day I came a little early hoping the vehicle could possibly be done quicker. Sat around for TWO HOURS and I haven't heard a word about my car, and I went up and asked how much longer he told me around 5:30pm I got there at 2:45pm! 3 hours to do an oil change?? I then proceed to ask if they started on my car and he had to go and "double check" and they haven't! I was so upset I got teary. I never want to come back! read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. Took my car in yesterday at 10:30 am for an oil change and a flat tire. They said it would be ready in a hour and a half and said they would call when it was ready. I called back at 12:30pm and they said they needed 30-45 more minutes for the oil change. They said the tire had already been patched. I came back at 1:10pm to see if my car was ready. They said they still needed to do the oil change and my car was up next. I didn't end up leaving here until 3pm. During the 2 hours that I was here, I asked multiple times for an update and even said if they didn't yet start the oil change, it was fine and I was ready to go and would get it another day. They said they needed 15 more minutes. I waited 30 until it was ready. I left thinking that everything had been fixed. Woke up this morning to my tire still being flat and oil all over my garage. Came back to have them fix everything for a second time. They said they did not fix the tire WHICH WAS THE MAIN REASON I CAME IN, IN THE FIRST PLACE. Paid $60 for an oil change that ended up all over my garage. Do not bring you car here unless you want to leave with it being more fucked up than what you came in with. read more

Big O Tires Store - Oil in the cracks as well. - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

They take sooooo long just for an oil change & they have bad attitude about any questions I had to ask. Not recommend

So slow slow slow slow super duper slow so slow I read two books an grew a beard I was told it would be a hour... It's been one hour an twenty minutes two hours still not done read more

Let me start by clarifying that I didn't give this place the one star... Yelp did! I give this location a zero. The level of unprofessionalism is appalling. I called ahead of time on Friday September 1st, and asked specifically if they had time to do an oil change, the guy who I talked to said yeah come by all cheery. I get there and the two men at the front counter ignore me for two minutes and then this short olive skinned man goes what do you need, in the most rude and dismissive tone I've ever heard! I said I called about an oil change, he cuts me off and yells it's 1 1/2 hours wait!! The combination of his rudeness, my time being wasted, and the dismissive staff, I got out of there in seconds. I don't understand what they gain by talking to customers like that! I honestly would've waited had he just been respectful. read more

Don't even bother to come here. I called in a day ahead and set up an appointment for 8am the following day for an oil change. Arrived there early around 7:50 am and they told me they had a waiting time of 1hr-1hr and 15mins. I ended up waiting 2:30 hrs for a single oil change. If you make appointments and can't follow your schedule why even bother to have them? I will never come back to this location. Customer service sucks. read more

Terrence at this location was a rock star for me on Saturday. I was short on time but he had my flat replaced with the spare and arranged for the new tire to be delivered to the store where our warranty was valid. This begs the question of WHY a national chain does not support warrantees on products sold by another location. Antiquated systems? Franchises? Get with it guys!! Again, thank you, Terrence, for helping me and getting me on my way. read more

Had an appointment at 9am. Said it would take 2-2 1/2 hours to do brakes. Four hours later and they're still not done. When I asked how much longer I got an attitude. When checking in, I asked them to check the fan belt they replaced in July, it started squealing. When I asked if he tightened it the mechanic said no. I said it says on the form to check it. He said I know I did. And you didn't tighten it? No, it didn't say to. Really?!! I've been coming here for years but the last few times have not been good. Will be finding another mechanic. read more

Was sent by a friend need new tire s so they worked it out.Very friendly and got it done in good time

Twice in one week I am disappointed by the LACK OF Customer Service by Big O Tires..... Why should a customer schedule an appointment for an Oil Change "To Get Right-In At The Scheduled Appointment Time" just to be told it will be a 45 minute wait??? I scheduled this appointment on Thursday afternoon, came at the scheduled time, and I have to wait 45 minutes before you get my vehicle in....... And, you told me that I had to wait after already waiting 10 minutes while you were on the phone......... Really!?!?!?!?!?! Also, You should have Customer Designated Parking and not rely on the Fire Lane......... VERY TRULY, There are many other businesses around that will do the work as promised....... read more

Please head my warning and NEVER do business here!! I asked for a semi synthetic oil change, after looking at paperwork once service was completed and check engine came on saw that they gave me a regular oil change. Then the car started leaking oil and I took it back because it had never leaked before the oil change. They told me I need all kinds of work done it, thankfully I didn't have the thousands of dollars they wanted me to shell out. I brought the vehicle home and it hasn't leaked since. Now my son took my daughters car there after I told all my kids not to do business there (he forgot). They are saying the car has an oil plug that doesn't belong to the car and if we want them to go ahead and it gets damaged it will cost over $800 to fix. They were the last ones to change the oil in the vehicle. The manager there Todd seems really nice at first but if you call him out on something he becomes a real jerk and kept putting me on hold. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF A HEADACHE AND TAKE YOUR VEHICLE ELSEWHERE!! Once again the south side gets another shady business taking advantage of our community! read more

Recently got into an accident which damaged my wheel and brakes on driver side.. took it to big o tireS to have a look at it. Of course they tried to sale us more then what we needed & they really did not want us to go through our insurance.. long story short.. glad my car was fixed right but not at all happy with the service. He ended up taking it upon himself to add things he felt "needed to be fixed" anyway we won't be back because of customer service alone. read more

This location always screw me over every time I set an appointment to fix my car. Last time all I needed was to patch my tire that was leaking and it took 3 hours. Now I set an appointment for my alignment and they said it'll take 5 hours for it! It's ridiculous! Just because I bought their services that came with the tire for 2 years of free alignment and road hazard they won't care much about my car. They would rather take care of people that's paying them there now. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! I REGRET BUYING MY TIRES FROM HERE! read more

I came to this location a week ago for a F/L tire repair, rotation and balance. When I went to pick up the vehicle the person at the front didn't even look at the paperwork just handed me my key. I saw something was on the back of the work order so I asked what they wrote and he said I needed two axle boots. I asked if the flat repair was done and he said yes so I then asked what was found in the tire and he shrugged his shoulders and said I don't know. I wasn't too happy with his response so I took my key and left. I get in my car and there is a big hand print grease stain on the inside of my car and now it says my R/R tire is low. I didn't have time to wait so I called big o and the guy who answered the phone said I must have picked up another nail. I said a nail from you guys pulling it out of the shop and he said nothing. I know it's the same time because my F/L wheel had a scrape on it and now that same wheel is on the R/R. I waited a week to post because I emailed the owner Tony Williams but he never responded. Never returning to this place again! read more

I had a flat tire and was able to get it resolved very quickly. Eric was extremely helpful and courteous.

Friendly advice to consumers in need of service for their vehicles. Stay away from big o tires. They are not very helpful especially to me and my family. I am a war veteran and wish I stayed with local family owned vehicle businesses. They treated me way better than Todd Murphy and his minions. Thank goodness for tire rack, eBay, craigslist, and Amazon. No more big o for me or my family. Bye bye big o..... read more

DO NOT GO HERE. These people aren't honest. I haven't used Big O in decades because of terrible and rude service. I went in today because I overfilled my engine oil causing it to smoke and needed some drained which untimely lead to an oil change. This was the only place open on holiday. First I was sold a credit card which I declined. Then I was told all ballers use credit cards, ok no thank you, I just need an oil change. Then I was told all my fluids better be filled when Big O checks them. OK, but is that a requirement for an oil change? I asked how long it would take for the oil change. 1-1/2 hours I was told. I sign a paper with the oil change cost and was giving a general checklist of what extra needs to be done on my make and model car. I get ready to leave with a ride I arranged and realized I hadn't been given a receipt or anything related to what I signed or that I left my car at Big O. I go back in to get some kind of receipt and was told nobody ever asks for that, what do you want a print out? I state yes. They give me one. At the top of the paper work it states car would be ready at 5 pm. Mind you it 9:30 am in the morning when I drop my car off. By my calculations that's not 1-1/2 hours for an oil change like I was verbally told. The guy then says we have cameras everywhere. OK, that protects you not me. I return 2 hours later and my car hasn't been moved. I go in and ask if my car is ready and was asked Did we call you? Nobody ever said they would call me, only said my car would be ready in 1-1/2 hours. The guy now tells me it will be ready in 10 mins. 10 mins pass and I go get my key and car without it ever being serviced. Save yourself a headache, time and I'm sure money and go somewhere better. read more

Very slow, you'll be in there all day waiting for your service to be done. They have more people standing at the counter than working on cars! The one in Scottsdale get you in and out. This one is horrible. I've been here two hours and still waiting. read more

This service here is the worst! Do not buy your tires here or you'll regret it if you have problems with tires they don't honor their service. read more

This place has horrible service. We had an APPOINTMENT to get the oil changed. It took 3 hours and 45 minutes to get it done!!! Asked each time about the vehicle, man at the counter replied "soon." Holy crap-3 hours later!!! Why is this okay? Where is management? Why even give us an appointment? read more

Big O Tires in South Mountain on Baseline damaged my van's body, denied it (even though their own security pictures prove it), stopped communication, and is stonewalling me. Prior to this, had my van in FIVE times for same break issue. And, on same visit where they damaged my van, they overfilled oil. Big O Ripoff is more like it! Took my money, left me with damaged van. Terrible customer service locally and on national level. Guess our only recourse is to take them to court which is ridiculous over something that is obviously their fault. UPDATE: It took numerous attempts to get Corporate to keep telling us the same thing, which is that the franchise at this location will not provide us video evidence of the visit. This is clearly because they are lying or too lazy. Prior to this visit, we paid them almost $3K for work. Now we are left with at least that much on top in damages. Thieves! DO NOT go to this location unless you like being screwed over. In fact, don't go to any location because their Regional and Corporate offices will not have your back if there is a problem. read more

I called into the store at 408pm asking if they were able to complete an oil change. The gentleman replied "yes, we have plenty of daylight out". I proceeded to drive in. When arriving to the counter at 435 pm. I asked for an oil change the man at the counter said they couldn't because they were busy. When I asked who I talked to on the phone and the gentleman that I know I was on the phone with sounded just like him. He replied I don't know, I know he's the man on the phone because he said there was no other advisors or managers here everyone else that I saw were technicians. Which 3/5 were sitting in the back. I don't know if this had anything to do with RACE because there was no reason to not be able to complete an oil change. When 70 percent of your garage stalls are empty? read more

Had a nail in my tire, the place was very busy, but Jerry got me in immediately and had me taken care of in 20 min. He was very friendly and courteous. Will continue to buy my tires here. Thanks again Jerry, you made my day!! read more

This tire store has process problems. My husband brought this car up on a Saturday for an oil change and tire inspection. I had ran some errands and called him up on my way home to see where he was at. He informed me that he was still at Big O Tires Store four hours later. I asked him why the oil change took so long and he responded that the employees were not helpful. Only after five hours of sitting here was my husband informed that there was a courtesy vehicle, which was not offered to my husband until the very end. Even after all of that, Big Tires did not inspect his tires. After asking why, the assistant manager told him to bring his car back on Monday since they were about to close. We came back Monday and checked in at 5:00 pm. They told his tires would be inspected and fixed. We said great and went to the gym while they were supposed to fix his car. They told us that was fine and to be back by 7:00 pm. We arrived back at Big O Tires at 6:45 pm only to notice that his car was in the exact same place that we had left it. My husband goes to the front desk to see the situation only to be told that they did not work on his car and to call the manager if he has an issue. Come on, Big O Tires! Do better!! read more

This place is dishonest. I purchase tires and a wheel alignment 6 months ago. Last week I had to replace the two front tires. They were completely destroyed. Even though the wheel alignment was paid 6 months ago the new tires were destroyed. This time they claimed I need a cam and caster bolt kit to do the wheel alignment. This kit was never mentioned 6 months ago. Apparently, the wheel alignment was never done 6 months ago. Avoid this place. read more

I wanted to save money and time, by getting my oil change here (instead of at my dealership). It turned out more expensive and more time-consuming! They add on some kind of a "shop supplies" hidden fee (which wasn't quoted up front). The guy who helped me initially was respectful and friendly, but told me I need a synthetic oil (which is the most expensive). I looked it up while waiting for my car, and the price was too high, plus I didn't even need a synthetic oil (most expensive). I said something (and also about the hidden "shop supplies fee") to another technician (I think his name was Jose M.) made me feel like I don't know anything, since I'm a woman. In a condescending and patronizing tone, he said that dealership would charge me the same. He proceeded to call my dealership (there was a full waiting room and about 4 other guys who work there), and very loudly said something like: "see, we charge you the same as your dealership".. I just gave up and paid the expensive price, since they made me look like I'm a woman who doesn't know things. The whole point of coming here was to save money, not to be charged more! At least my dealership treats me with respect, has a much better customer service, and a free car wash! read more

Great experience at this location. I've taken my Nissan and my Kia here on multiple occasions for oil changes and tire rotation and have had reliable service performed each time. Service Advisor Nick Lamont is knowledgeable about vehicle makes and models and has gone above and beyond to assist in proper professional maintenance of my cars. Thank you, Nick, for making my trip to your garage a perfect experience. I will continue to use this location for future service needs. read more

They can't be trusted to do a full service.the guy that worked on my truck must have thought i wasn't going to check if he changed everything he had to.skiped my tire rotation & filter.i was the last truck out that day & they were in a hurry to close.huh so much for good service. read more

Stopped in for full synthetic oil change and alignment. Was quoted 1 hour. Can back 80 minutes later and the car was not touched. Have had positive experiences here before, but this one was horrible. Had to wait an extra 40 minutes up until closing. read more

Do not trust this company I brought in my 2014 Camry to get an oil change and new tires yesterday. This morning after trying to start my car I immediately noticed that my car would not turn over please do not take your car to this company and they better be ready to get my car fixed because I will prove they messed it up I just recently got a check up from my dealership not even 2 months ago. DO not trust these people they are in the business or breaking your car to get you to come back and spend more money read more

I have been coming here for 9 years. In the past they have always been super friendly and as quick and the detailed as should be expected.... Until this weekend. I got a slow leak that we didn't notice till we were at the grocery store. We put fix a flat in and when we got home changed the tire to the spare and took the car to Big O. We had just purchased the tire there a little over a year ago and had added the $10 3 year protection plan. They took the tire out of the trunk and sent me on my way. I got a call just before closing on Saturday night saying it was ready and I opted to pick up the tire in the morning. Today I went by around 10am and expected a wait. It is Sunday after all. The compressor was broken. Okay, no big deal. 2 hours later it was fixed. So I thought "okay now you can put the tire on and I'll be on my marry" nope. An hour an a half and 2 episodes of Grimm later I was finally able to get my car back. The entire time paying customers came and went. I was never provided with an update or ETA. Not sure I want to go back ever. read more

This place is ridiculous. They take at least 4 hours to do an oil change and we even had an appointment set for it but this isn't the only problem. Getting your tires changed also takes forever and then they do the alignment wrong so we have to go back. Not only is their service the worst but they are also overpriced and the couches in the wait room during the summer time are full with ants. If you want to save money and time go somewhere else because this place is a joke. read more

Wish I could give this place less then 1 star! Absolutely horrible service and terrible staff. I took my car in at 11 am to have my oil changed, I went in at 3 pm to check if my car was finished and it hadn't even been moved from the spot I left it parked in! When asking about what was taking 4 hours for a simple oil change, the guy at the desk, Eduardo stood there sucking on a popsicle shrugging his shoulders offering no explanation! I hope this place gets shut down! read more

Ladies, DO NOT come here. They take advantage of you just because you are a female. If I could give this place zero stars I would. They try to add on a bunch of extras they feel your vehicle needs. Customer service is lacking and you don't get a very good deal. Waited for over three hours. Asked them if they had started working on my vehicle and they said it would be done in a few minutes. Well that didn't happen. They rip you off. Go to someone who is reliable. Unfortunately I was in a bind and had no other options. Lesson learned. Never again. read more
