Probably the most honest shop I've been to. I took one of my cars there last weekend for a 120,000 mile service. When I came to pick up the car, the actual price was about $80 less than had been originally quoted. That same day, I took my newer car to the dealer for service because it is still in the 24-month free service period. I knew I had a tire leaking; the dealer told me it couldn't be repaired and I needed a new tire, which would be about $150. Today I took that car to Bud's, fully expecting to buy a new tire, only to have the tire patched for free. Can't beat that! read more

Where do I start. I made an appointment and I show up and they put me down for the wrong day. So they take me in anyway and I still wait about 2 hours for a oil change. Before they began working on my vehicle I let them know I have a brochure discount thing for a free oil change. The individual tells me ok I'll take it when your car is done and I said ok. So two hours later my car is done. The individual tells me that my tire cap was broken which it was not this was my first oil change since i purchased car from dealer. Then he rings me up for $37. I said I have this brochure thing and it states its a free oil change. So he proceeds to tell me that my car only takes synthetic and it's an extra charge. Which I called him out on because he already knew my car was only synthetic and that I had the brochure. So I pay the money. When I get my car I ask for my cap and the guy tells me oh we put it back on. So of course by the time I get home the cap comes off. So now I need to pay $50 at the dealer for a wheel cap that they broke. Never again will I be back. read more

The professionals at Bud's Tire Pros took excellent care of our diesel truck. The batteries died and took it in late afternoon, they diagnosed problem and fixed it. Then said the could get the oil change done and me back on the road a few minutes after their scheduled closing time! Great Service! Highly Recommended. read more

This was my first time coming to this new location, as I typically go to the one off Indiana. I needed an oil change, so I called to make an appointment. As I recall, I made my appointment for either 9:00 or 9:30 am. My dad took my car there at that time since I was at work, and they were busy. (So what is the purpose of an appointment?) My dad had to leave my car there to get the oil change and come back approx. 3-4 hours later. This was upsetting from the start. So, I get off to go get my car with my dad when I check out, they tell me that I need all of this things repaired and they can get me quotes. I asked for the quotes because this is my go to car for work. Once I get home I realize that my hub cap is broken, so I call them to tell them and they would like for me to take it to them. I do. They order me a new one... the wrong one! I waited two days for this one and then I have to wait another day for the correct hub cap. I started to read the suggested repairs list, and I call my mechanic shop which has worked on my car since I purchased it in 2005, and they checked their paperwork because I just had my front tie rod done. They checked it out the next day and it was fine. **This review is mainly on them trying to up-sell me unneeded work, and being that I am a woman, I felt that tried to take advantage of me** Not happy. So for my next oil change, I went to Valvoline about 2 miles away, yes it is more pricey but, they did not try to scam me. Bud, if you are reading this, I hope that you find better ways to deal with this since my whole family has been loyal customers to you and we have suggested people go to you for various things. Not anymore! read more

I needed a new set of tires and didn't know where to go, so I searched and came across Bud's Tires. I am so Happy with the service I got. Andrew Anderson was so helpful and attentive. He made sure I was 100% satisfied with their work. I will never be going anywhere else. There prices are great! I would totally recommend this place! Ask for Andrew he'll take care of you! : ) read more

I initially decided on Buds because of the good reviews. I had HORRIBLE grinding on my brakes and I was 1) scared for my car and 2) scared that the repair would cost me an arm and a leg. I made an appointment on a Sunday which was such a relief and was treated so well as soon as I walked in the door. It was nice to see a lot of people there that were repeat customers. I was out sooner than expected and paid less than I expected to (I did a lot of research on prices). I will say that I am going to bring my car back here for all services from major work to windshield wipers. Thanks to this shop for giving me great service and peace of mind. read more

I have used buds a couple times for my other vehicles and overall was pretty happy. I referred alot of my friends to them after the work they did on my Pontiac G8. The parts were really hard to find for that car and they worked hard to get it done as soon as they could calling around to try and find the parts. I am in the market for new tires for my Escalade, however the tire wear was pretty bad on the front end so I called buds this morning for an alignment and a quote on tires at 8:34AM spoke to kent and he told me to bring it right down and that it would be a hour - hour 40 minutes. Sounded great. I rushed down because I am about 5 minutes away and dropped it off. 9:32AM they called me, I missed the call and they left a voice mail. 10:02AM I checked saw this, and thought wow that was fast they are already done? Nope. Voicemail stated that it needed an alignment (no shit, this is why I even came in), so I called them back and asked if I had worked out pricing quotes or whatever and I told the individual whatever I don't care just do it. 10:41AM they called me and said it was all done and ready for pick up in a voicemail, I was away so I picked it up around 12:30 I guess at which point I am told that there is minor ball joint play. Honestly this should have been told to me when they called me to ask if I wanted the alignment -- I would have had the ball joints replaced! GM trucks are known for ball joint issues and minor play can turn into major play fairly quickly. So instead of having it all done at once I have to waste more time on another day to have this done. My wife drove it. I asked her how it drove and she told me she didn't know and that I would need to drive it. I drove it when we picked up our kids from school and it was apparent there was some issues. 1.) severe pull to left (even up over the road crown). 2.) Steering wheel off center, turned towards the left. If I straightened the wheel it darted right. So I call them and complain about this and they either wanted me to drop it today as theres other cars in line or bring it tomorrow. I complained about the service and was put on hold by Francisco ( I really dislike this guys demeanor, i dealt with him a few weeks ago on my silverado aswell. hes very short with his responses and it always feels like I was bothering him). When he came back on the explained that he talked to his manager and wanted to know when I could bring it back and I said 5 minutes. Perhaps I was a little naive thinking they would work on it sooner, but it wasn't relayed to me how long I was going to need to wait before it was worked on.. Around 30 minutes, I wouldn't have come back I would have just found another shop. They aligned it again. Assured me it was OK.. Guess what! Its not. The steering wheel is still off center and there is still a pulling issue. The drive-ability is worse than when I brought it in. One thing I really dislike about this place is, they try to rush you in. When I arrived this morning, I said I spoke to kent about alignment but the other guys rush you to talk to them so they can get your vehicle in. I am pretty sure had they not done that and I spoke to kent they wouldn't have confirmed with me that I wanted the alignment done considering Kent knew I wanted it done as I spoke to him no more than 5 minutes prior. Kent was really apologetic after everything. He offered to waive my alignment fee if I bought tires. Its a nice gesture, but the fee doesn't outweigh time. My other experiences with them have been ok which is why I gave them 3 stars. I won't be back however because I am too busy to deal with repeat repairs or miscommunication causing delays. I am oncall 24/7 with my business and I need to be somewhat precise with my time. read more

Professional and experienced staff. They were able to correct problems with my Jeep Wrangler and Ford Expedition recently addressed by someone else. Both vehicles now ride exceptionally well. They also have a very comfortable cool waiting area. This is important if you are waiting and it is 100 degrees outside. read more

This place is very professional! Very affordable! And excellent customer service! Ask for my boy Jesse he'll take care of you! Got me in and out in less then half an hr! Will definitely be coming back! And next time for rims! read more

Bud must be a great family man & business. Thanks for giving my wife top-notch service. The 2y/o can only stand still for so long. We appreciate your great customer service when my wife's tire needed repair in-between kids school, sports, and her grocery shopping! read more

I had a pretty good experience at Bud's. They were able to change my oil after work one day even though I was the last one there. The prices were reasonable and I will go back for my routine maintenance. The only problem I had were the wood blocks (which I was later told was used to raise the cars or something) were still left under my car when I pulled out. One flew out when I drove away and I drove over it which scared the crap out of me! Then I found another one after I got home and was parked. Luckily we didn't see any damage on the car. Other than that, the service was great and friendly! read more

This place is great they are extremely friendly and honest. Had a slow leak on a tire and they indicated they could repair vs buying a new tire. Another place wanted me to replace the tire. When it is time to replace our tire defiantly will go back to Bud's read more

This place is wonderful. I went out to riverside and got a flat tire. I called in and they were super friendly. Got there and was welcomed with open arms. In an out in under an hour. Not from the area but had to give them some love on yelp. read more

Top service by Jesse, I brought my truck for overheating, I had a little issue but luckily when I came back Bud (the owner) helped me out and made it all good in a matter of seconds, Jesse provides great customer service and I'm so happy with my turck's repair and their location that I trusted them with my daughter's car as well. I'm glad that they provide car repair services, I have been seeing the big "tire and wheel" sign when I drive over Van Buren and didn't think they did. Anyway.. I rarely leave any reviews but I thought this place was worth one. Plus THEY ARE OPEN ON SUNDAYS !!!!!...... read more

They took very good care of me and was priced reasonable for the job that I needed done I would recommend this establishment

This place is a great place to get tires I was going to get my tires at norco tire but after taking 5 hours to change my wife's tires and trying to Charge her a down payment to a new car I decided to try a new place so I stopped here there customer service was awesome they changed my tires did an oil change and did my alignment in 2 hours and they were really busy at the time so I recommend this place for quality service thank you for your awesome service. read more

Bud's Tires is an honest and friendly place to do business. I went to the car dealership to get an estimate on my brakes. They quoted me a little over $1100. Bud's Tires was able to replace my rotors and brake pads for a third the price. They even honored my expired coupon for an additional 50 dollars off. I will definitely use Bud's Tires from now on for all my car needs. Thanks Bud's. read more

Took my son's car in for a tire rotation. Car was ready when the tech said it would be and they did a good job at a fair price.

LOVED my experience here. I'll never go anywhere else for routine maintenance, alignment issues, etc. I brought a car here that I was thinking of purchasing to have the alignment checked out and they did this for free, even after I told them I wouldn't get anything done for sure unless I decided to buy the car! I did buy the car and will definitely be taking it there to have the work necessary done. These guys are honest and I don't feel like they are trying to take advantage of me, which is something I usually feel as a woman in an automotive shop. Such a gem in a usually sketchy and stressful service! read more

They met me at the car, just like Les Schwab used to do for me back in Oregon. I have 4 small people, so convenience is very important to me. They are friendly, honest and fair. Rod drove me and my 4 kids home in my car and took it back to the shop for the repairs it needed. I asked for service that I didn't need and they told me it wasn't needed. When this place was being built, I didn't think it was needed or that I would ever go there. Now I won't go anywhere else. This is not just a tire place, they do it all (or a lot of it anyhow). read more

So glad I found this place! I stumbled upon it a few months ago on an oil change special, and I just had my car in there a few days ago for new tires. I was also having issues with shaking and they were able to take care of that with a great priced alignment. Steven helped me the entire time, he had only been working there for two days but he was great, very personable and so experienced! I love the people they hire, everyone I've encountered here is very professional. So happy to have found an HONEST go-to auto repair shop! read more

Thought I'd give Bud's a try and glad I did. I'm always looking for the best deal and their prices are unbeatable. Even compared them to Costco and SAMs. Went back 2 days after installing new tires for a different issue on a different car and that was handled great! Very honest and great prices!! Pay them a visit!!! See Jessie!!! read more

wish I would have come here first instead of certified tire off of vanburen. they fixed the car certified tire broke. better prices and much more courteous. if the wait time is long that's cause they are busy handling all the repeat business they get. make an appointment you wont be disappointed read more

I made an appointment in Riverside location with Steven on Sunday June 19th to have my six tires replaced on my Attitude Toy Hauler. He said to bring it in first thing Thursday June 23rd to do the tire changes. He recommended the Hercules tires as they would save money and they're good tires. I was in and out in 2 hours and went on vacation the next day. I had ordered tires from Costco in Lake Elsinore and 2 weeks went by and no tires came in so I canceled and Bud's Tire got my business. I read other reviews and I can see where some customers would be unhappy. My experience was great and I like to do business with company's that donate to our Veterans. They are matching up to $ 5,000.00 to build special mobility chairs for Veterans. Way to go Bud's Tire. read more

I came in for an oil change. Friendly service, and a very clean atmosphere. They didn't try to "sell" me everything under the sun that's "wrong" w/my car, which is rare for a car service establishment. I recommend coming to Bud's for your next service. read more

I brought in my new to me used MINI Cooper today to have new tires put on and was very impressed. Kevin helped us out getting all new tires, alignment and checking some lights that were on in my vehicle. They were all very professional, kind and extremely knowledgeable and helpful! They were flexible on pricing and got us an amazing deal! I would definitely return in the future! Thank you to Kevin and all the staff at Bud's Tires!!! read more

This is the place to go if you need any work done on your vehicle! My wife and I are moving out of state in the next few weeks and wanted to get our car checked out and fixed up before making the haul (we haven't had the car looked at in ages). Donn took care of us and was INCREDIBLY helpful. He explained everything to us in a clear and understandable way, broke down the costs, discounted the price of nearly every "to-do" on the list, saved us several hundred dollars, and fixed the car up within a day. We got new struts, brakes, belts, filters, fluids, tires, lights, etc, all without any hassle or the dreaded feeling of being taking advantage of. Donn was honest and upfront the entire time, and quickly returned all of our calls in a helpful and friendly manner. Absolutely a MUST if you need work done! Ask for Donn and all your worries will disappear! read more

I feel like I finally found a good place to take my cars in Riverside! So far I've found that their prices are good and the service is excellent. I've had two oil changes, brake resurfacing, fixed a window that wouldn't roll up, and changed a water pump here (I wanted to take my time doing the review) and I'm very happy with how things have turned out each time. Steven the customer service guy at the front desk is a great guy, easy to talk to, and down to earth. When my car took a day longer to repair than estimated, they offered me some comps that was very reasonable. They've got me raving about this place to all my friends. Some tips: Make an appointment before you go in. There's a Starbucks across the street you can hang out at while you wait. It's clean inside the store and there's a Keurig machine. They give rides locally. A suggestion for the owner: put in cafe tables and offer free wifi. read more
