I set-up an appointment, showed a little early, and by my appointment time the car was on the rack and the tires were mounted, balanced and back on my Outback in no time. They noticed my brake pads were close to needing a replacement and pointed that out to me. I had already set that up and was just waiting on new pads, but it showed that they're on the ball and observant, which I appreciate. They weren't pushy about it, I'm sure they would have given me a great price for the work, but I already had it set-up with my mechanic. Tires and brakes are important, it's where the rubber literally meets the road, and stopping your car is more important than making it go! I appreciated them looking out for my safety. I guess that's one of the reasons they've been around so long. Highly recommend. You can feel confident taking your vehicle here for service.

I'm a local and Ian's came with lots of recommends. Maybe they were just having a bad day? I went for tires and can tell you the dealership where I bought my car sells the same tires for less. I called early, took my car in, and was then told they needed it overnight. I was flexible, maybe they saw me as a chump, but they put on a shocking hardsell. Stuff like upgrading tires amd using nitrogen instead of air. It was over the top. Maybe it was a bad day or bad employee but I would not go back.

I live in LA and got a new set of tires from them on my way through Santa Barbara. They did such a good job and because junior (the owner) was so cool - I drove back to Santa Barbara the next time I needed a tune up. Well worth the drive. No one likes spending money getting work done on their car, but if you have to, you might as well give it to an independent business that does better, more timely, more affordable work than its corporate-chain competition.

Santa Barbara Tire was recommended to us and my tire was on my car within less than an hour. I was so impressed with how quickly it was done AND I was only 30 minutes late to my wine tasting. I appreciated the great service and, although the tire was a little pricey, I couldn't argue as it was the only one that would fit on my car. However, I know what I am getting myself for Christmas...three matching tires! This is going to sound odd, but, besides the customer service, I was so excited to use the old school towel dispenser in the bathroom! It was the cloth towel system where you pulled down to dry your hands. Talk about eco friendly which is always appreciated!

The mechanics in the shop are good guys, but the guy at the front, named Omar, is shady and rude…read more The reason why im towing my truck from their shop to the ford dealership is because my car has an extended warranty and once i mentioned that to the sales clerk Omar he acted disinterested and annoyed. He told me he'd check in with me on my trucks status after i dropped it off at 9:30 in the morning, i had to call him at 4:30 before they close asking whats going on. Didn't find anything all day. Weekend comes, same result, i have to call them for check ins on my truck because they would never reach out to me. Then Omar told me if i wanted to get work going on the truck sooner i could pay out of pocket upfront, which would void my warranty. Seemed extremely shady to me to delay work on a car with a warranty to get someone to pay out of pocket. Would definitely not recommend using this shop, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR USING A WARRANTY, they will put your vehicle last in rotation and will tell you they will do work faster if you pay out of pocket.
