Cab professionally lifted

Several weeks ago I walked into Bruce's automotive repair fremont after having my truck a 2016 eco diesel worked on by stress free auto, stress free had attempted to change glow plugs and broken 2 off in the head tried drilling one out it mushroomed at bottom of head . They informed me they were unable to fix it and it was my problem now ?? What. I immediately went to Bruce's and spoke to Raul who was extremely understanding and professional. I didn't know what to do but I had a broken truck and no transportation. He was patient he informed me I could do 3 things 1 replace the heads and gave me a quote , I could put a used engine which I wasn't sure about or get a brand new engine he gave me quotes for all 3 after speaking with my son we decided on the brand new diesel engine. Because my truck had 207 k miles.during the entire process I feel Bruce's automotive was the most professional, always kept me informed of progress sent pictures . After having such a bad experience before I couldn't wait to get my truck back we were asked to go watch the progress and I was amazed on March 26, 2025 we got the truck back absolutely beautiful job I would give 100 stars thank you to all who worked so hard to get my baby back I am beyondhappy

Be aware that this garage primarily serves commercial truckers. Overall services quality is inconsistent. But one thing for sure, this place is slow. Just hold your breath, you will need 2.5 hours for oil/filter changes despite that you got 7:30AM appointment. And the staff turnover rate is also pretty high. Though their discount coupon is good, but the wait is just too much. Pay a few more bocks elsewhere if you are in a hurry.

Had my car there yesterday for steering wheel leveling. The truck was aligned by Carlos a month ago and was very happy with the work. I've asked if Carlos is available can do the work they said he was day off. Today when I pick up the car the alignment was off and when I called they said they want to charge me again for alignment. I asked if Carlos is available they said he is no longer working there. ‍ They said they did not touch the alignment but the invoice shows they didn't a full alignment. Even when they called said the car was ready I asked how they fixed they said they didn't a new alignment and had to charge me $199 which is fine but the car now pulls to right and they want to charge me again for alignment. I would definitely no recommend this location. Only if Carlos is the one working in the truck as I had great work done by him.

After flat tire change.

Walked in to change flat tires and asked a lot of questions. They were very helpful and patient. Front desk and technicians were both super nice as well. It was $250 for two tires with lifetime warranty and service. Warranty included flat repair and rotation every 5k miles. Great place. Recommend!

The worst place

I had a great experience at Fremont Wheels and Tires. Malik was very friendly and treated me like…read morefamily from the moment I walked in. I originally came in for a brake install, but he took the time to explain that I also needed new tires and walked me through the benefits of different tire options without any pressure. He gave me a solid recommendation based on my driving needs, and I really appreciated how honest and knowledgeable he was. Excellent customer service and a shop I'd definitely recommend! All in all I'll be back to get my tires replaced.

### 5 Stars - Absolute Lifesavers on Wheels!…read more I was cruising home on my Can-Am Spyder F3T when BAM--a nasty blowout on the front tire turned my smooth ride into a heart-pounding nightmare. Stranded on a Sunday afternoon, I was dreading the hassle of finding compatible tires for this beast of a three-wheeler, especially with shops closed or booked solid. Enter Fremont Tires and Wheels: my unexpected heroes! I pulled into their lot, and without missing a beat, the team swung into action. They not only tracked down the replacement tires (Landspider CityTraxx fronts a little wider than my original Kendas --spot-on fit and ready to handle those twists like a dream), but they squeezed me in on SHORT NOTICE. And get this: FREE LABOR! On a Sunday! Who does that? These folks don't just fix tires; they restore your faith in humanity (and road trips). From the warm welcome at the door to the pro install that had me back on the road in under two hours, every step was seamless. Super knowledgeable about specialty vehicles like Spyders--no guesswork, just expertise. Prices were fair, service was lightning-fast, and they even tossed in tips for keeping my ride blowout-proof. If you're in the Bay Area with a Can Am Spyder, or anything with wheels, Fremont Tires and Wheels is your go-to. They turned a disaster into a delight--highly recommend! Thank you, Malik and Bunti, for getting me safely home. - SlapHappy415 (Spyder owner forever grateful)

Mixed reviews…read more What's the point of the appointment? Normally this shop was good. Friendly of course, however too friendly. Let me explain... What's the point of the appointment?? June 26, 2026 I called earlier this morning to see if I can come in at 5pm for a repair, nail in the tire. After work of course. The guy whom I spoke to, again friendly said he could help for sure but it would be better to make an appointment. I said I don't see the point of making an appointment since their team doesn't get to the people who have appointments on time. Had another experience for an 8am appointment and they didn't get to me for 40 minutes after Intaking people and talking for so long. He said that must have been a one off and they try to get everyone out in under an hour. I said I'll make the appointment but I don't want to wait 1.5 hrs for a repair. It's not fair to me to have to just wait. He makes an appointment at 4pm. 4pm rolls around, I'm there at 4:05pm. Traffic in Fremont is bad at that time. They didn't intake (see me) at my appoint until 4:45......... Then they look at my tires goes and talks to their team who says it'll be ready at 5:45pm. AGAIN!!!!! WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE APPOINTMENT IF YOUR NOT GOING TO HONOR THE APPOINTMENT!!!! Anyways....what their team needs to do is stop allowing customers to stand there looking at each tire on the website deciding which one they want. One guy alone helped a man and his son for 40 minutes!!!!!! What's the point of the appointment?

I had a 50 min lunch break at work today. The low tire pressure signal showed up on my dashboard so…read moreI decided to come to the UC location America's Tire. There was no attendant at the air check station. I waited a few minutes. Then I called (no one picked up) and finally I went inside. I caught the attention of one of the employees and informed him that I was waiting to get air for my tires. He said he would get an attendant and I confirmed that I should go back to my car. I wait in my car and no one shows up. I decide to now go to the Fremont location on Beacon. Normally, there is an attendant to check the air in your tires. I drive there. An employee acknowledges I am there. Another employee says someone will be out. I waited at least 13-15 minutes before I realized--I need to go back to work! All in all--I spent 25 minutes driving around to two different locations. I sat in my car waiting and did not get any air in my tires. I drove back to work with the signal still on my dashboard. Very disappointing experiencing at both locations but especially Union City.

I've been a Les Schwab (LS) customer for over a decade and my experience has been good overall…read more I've had the following services perform at their store: replacement of flat tire (on Christmas Eve), regular tire rotations and balancing, occasional tire alignment, TPMS (tire pressure sensors) replacement, purchase and install of new tire set, and brake pad replacement. No one is perfect but from my other experiences at other local tire shops/services, LS has earned my trust and loyalty. I recommend you check them out. + 1. transparent about product and pricing information via web and in-store kiosk. 2. offer online appointment scheduling. 3. backup and standby their work; even provide customers' tire reviews in public e.g. - store's kiosk 4. respect customers' time and budget. 5. the value and quality service work is worth the extra cost upfront IMO when you consider lifetime of tire maintenance and time-saved. 6. LS provides a wide-range of car wheel services (i.e. - steering repairs, wheel suspension upgrades, etc (not just new tire installation). - 1. LS is not a discount tire shop so prices may not be lowest. 2. the selection of tires can be limited (not immediately available) if specialty brands are desired. 3. LS shop is usually very busy, so appointment schedule is best (@ Fremont location).

WORST EXPERIENCE THIS MORNING WITH THE MANAGER! GERRIT…read more The mechanic who was fixing my car and putting my tires on made a mistake which made my car vibrate on the freeway on the way home from Fremont or this location and I live 40 mins away from the mechanics and I was driving fine at speeds lower than 50mph and I was driving through Sunol by the time I got to Pleasanton freeway exit I started to get to 60 and my entire front part of my vehicle started vibrating and I called Les swab and they told me to come back but it was already late closing time and I would not make it and I didn't feel safe driving on the road, I almost lost control of my vehicle I had to drive slow to get home. And I ended up going to Costco and they fixed it and told me that les swab did a terrible job and my tires were at 2 ounces the front ones and Costco said that was really bad and I need to get a refund and they wrote me a letter with their notes on the issues and how Costco fixed it. I trusted the handsome mechanic at Les swab. But today this morning I went and drove to Les swab in Fremont 40 mins from my home to ask my money back politely and I spoke to the manager GERRIT. He basically invalidated what happened to me and told me it's impossible to get into an accident. He is white blue eye grayish man who was completely rude and not understanding the mistake they made and could have gotten me injured and I could have damaged my car more. He refused my request for a refund. And was rude and a made condescending comments. Like I don't know what kind of driver you are a new one or a bad driver to almost get into accident from their mistake. He refused to apologize for taking accountability for the mistake at minimum. Or apologize. He was arrogant and rude and basically just gave me 20 dollars out of the 260 he owe me just make me happy. I just accepted the 20 dollars cause I don't like to fight. But to be honest I would've been happy if he would have apologized for the mistake but he just didn't take accountability for anything And as I left he made rude sarcastic comments like I hope you drive better. Also he said Moving forward I shouldn't come back and get service with them (Les swab) And to go find someone else for my mechanical needs. The manager said this all because I ask for a refund cause they made a mistake on my car and he basically gave me 20 dollars to leave and never come back and I ask politely and he never apologized he just told me what happened was impossible and invalidate my experience and was rude! I don't wish anyone ill. But if you treat anyone like that cause you don't want take accountability that's really on the manager. The mechanic who helped me and made that mistake was really nice. But the manager is a rude disrespectful human being. Thanks for the 20 dollars cause that's not what I deserve and you know I deserve an apology and none of your rude comments about my driving. I was a polite person asking for my refund. Anyways never go here if you want a rude customer experience and terrible work

My car was being towed, and he stayed past closing just to make sure I was taken care of. That alone told me everything I needed to know about how he runs his business. Since that night, I've continued to bring my car back here because the service is always on point. Shagan is honest, highly skilled, and actually cares about doing the job right instead of just rushing you out the door. His shop is very clean and organized, which says a lot about his standards. There's also a coffee shop right next door, so it's convenient if you're waiting, and the location is perfect for anyone in the Fremont or Union City area. What really sets him apart is that he stands behind his work. If something isn't right or needs adjusting and it was his mistake, he fixes it at no extra cost. That kind of integrity is rare these days. Great prices, great work, great service. I highly recommend Ace Tires & Wheel. 10/10.

I came here to replace my front tires after they blew out. When Ace Tire and Wheel replaced them,…read morethey didn't mention anything about the alignment. However, I could visibly see that the tires were slanted. Later, I went to another shop and was told the front alignment was off, making the car unsafe to drive. I'm frustrated that Ace Tire didn't point this out or address it. It felt like they were only focused on replacing the tires and making money rather than making sure the vehicle was safe. I left thinking everything was fine when it clearly wasn't. Because of this, I don't feel confident in their service and won't be returning or recommending this shop to anyone.

Edgar's shop came up on the top of the list and all the reviews looked up to snuf. I looked over the pics and a lot of his work is top of the line work from repairs to restores and coating. I've made up my mind to call and the woman from the front desk was very friendly off the phone. I told her that I popped my tire from a pothole off 280N and I was getting my tire replaced, I asked to see if I could drop off my one wheel that was bent and cracked, she said that it was fine and if I wanted to do a pick up, it would be within 24 hours after the drop off so I felt very confident even more of the customer service in addition to all the reviews. Dropped it off and returned to pick up after 25 hours. Edgar called and texted me a few times to show me progress, as well as being extra friendly with his communication about his service. He made sure that if my wheel was safe to drive and sure it was, otherwise he would've told me that it wouldn't be. He disclosed that there's no warranty on the repair, same thing the woman said on the phone, I emphasized that it's better than driving with a cracked and bent wheel anyways so he has my thanks. The price was good for the work that was done, I feel like I'll inquire again in the future for wheel restoration on my wife's 3-Piece wheel from her car but that can be another time. Thanks Edgar!
