I had service done at the Indiana Ave. location in Riverside. I usually dread having my car worked on because so many shops overcharge or sell unnecessary repairs. They were honest with me here, didn't sell me anything my car didn't need, explained everything that was done, and charged a fair, reasonable price. I'll definitely be back next time my car needs maintenance. read more

bud's tires, You charged me an additional $90.00 when you installed my tires. A double payment as I had already paid Goodyear online. You asked me to sign the contract so you could start working. Silly me, I trusted you. It was a blank contract and you added to it, charges of which if they had been there I would not have signed. Bud's tires also tried to force me to buy a battery because they said mine was dead. I had it checked by my mechanic and he stated it was good. It has been years and I am still running on it with no problem. I have tried to get bud's tire to stop sending me advertisements. I have emailed requests to get you to stop. I have tagged the click here to stop, I have called y'all on the phone. I believe that I am being harassed by bud's tire. I will not ever return to bud's tires. I let all of my friends, co-workers and acquaintances know of your dirty and dishonest dealings. Those I know I forward to an honest and hard working Goodyear tire distributor. Stop bothering me! Stop harassing me. I have done nothing to cause you to harass and bother me. You stole from me, not I from you. I paid you good money, even though you were stealing from me, initially without my knowledge. I contacted bud's tires and spoke to a manager face to face. His words, "You signed the contract so there is not a thing you can do". I but this letter on the bud's reviews to warn other potential theft victims. Bud's requested I call them. I have spoken to three "managers" with zero results in my favor. I have asked to stop them from sending me junk email to no avail. So I am sending email to you, and reposting to bud's tire online review pages since y'all refuse to stop bothering me. No, I will not put you into spam. A simple refund of the stolen money would have been nice. Stopping the harassment of me would have been fine. tony bud's tires, This is a copy of previous reviews with additions at the bottom. It seems as if buds tires will continue to send me trash, spam, unwanted and repeatedly requested to STOP harassing me and filling my emails with their unwanted mail. My email is my property not buds tires, it is for my use, not for buds tires to interject their garbage on me. You charged me an additional $90.00 when you installed my tires. A double payment as I had already paid Goodyear online. You asked me to sign the contract so you could start working. Silly me, I trusted you. It was a blank contract and you added to it, charges of which if they had been there prior to my signing I would not have signed. Bud's tires also tried to force me to buy a battery because they said mine was dead. I had it checked by my mechanic and he stated it was good. It has been years and I am still running on it with no problem. I make trips into the desert and mountains by myself and I cannot afford to have poor equipment. It would be life threatening as I have COPD emphysema and COPD asthma requiring 24/7 oxygen support. I have tried to get bud's tire to stop sending me advertisements. I have emailed requests to get you to stop. I have tagged the click here to stop, I have called y'all on the phone. I believe that I am being harassed by bud's tire. And Bud's tires continues to send their SPAM to me, and harrassing me with their JUNK emails. I have multiple times UNSUBSCRIBED! BUT STILL THEY CONTINUE TO HARASS ME AND WON"T STOP! If you are a lawyer, send me a note. If you call me, leave a message, I will return your call. read more

Awesome customer service, my aunt has been a customer here for a long time and I just came here today with my truck for the very first time... I am VERY PLEASED with their service and their customer service...THANK YOU BUDS TEAM FOR DOING THE MAINTENANCE ON MY 2004 DODGE RAM read more

I've been taking my car's to Bud's for about twelve years now, and they've always done right by me. Everyone who handles my repairs gives me straight and honest answers, and the jobs are done in a timely manner, especially when I make an appointment. They never try to push extras on me, and their prices are fair. One time, my old and defunct car alarm decided it wanted to go off while husband was using it. He took it to them close to closing time (with the alarm still blasting!), and they disconnected the alarm free of charge. read more

I recommend Bud's Tire Pros simply due to the fact I've been going to Bud's for several years now since I've moved into the area. They've consistently beat the prices of their competition, and provide fast, friendly, and quality service. Bud Lupino genuinely cares for his clients, and you can see this care in his employees. I plan on going to Bud's for all my tire needs. I've been to 2 of his many shops and see similar performances at both, so I believe it is safe to say it is likely a trend at all of them. They have even helped me with my tires after some time, because they stand behind their products and service. read more

I love these guys! Have had my cars serviced there for the last 20 years! The staff is friendly, courteous and very helpful!! I recommend them to you all!!! read more

This the best tires shop in riverside. I always seem to get flat tires by running over nails. They can usually repair the tires and within a reasonable amount of time. Lately I just need air put in and they never seem to be inconvenienced by me coming in just for air. I will continue to come here for my tires and the great service. Also I now have all my family come here when they need tires. read more

I'm a very happy customer. I got a flat tire on my car, call a few places to gat a quote, but most of them would ask me to bring the car for a free estimate. At Bud's they gave me a quote just by describing the problem over the phone. I brought my car and 30 min later the tire was fixed, and they didn't charge me anything. I was pleasantly surprised. While I was waiting, I also noticed how professional their personnel is. SUPER customer service!!! Next time I need any car fixing or regular maintenance I'll go to Bud's Tire & Wheel. read more

Bud's Tire Pros - This nasty nail caused a flat tire. At Bud's they fixed the tire in less then half an hour. - Tires Near Me - Riverside, California

This is the worst place to take your car for any auto repairs. My daughter took her car in for air conditioner and they didn't check the sensors or filter. Charged her $112. Cause she's a woman so they were trying to take advantage if she took it back to fix right. They would of up the price. She had to take to another auto place to get it fixed right. I feel they should refund her money. read more

Shout out to the best employee for 2020, Joseph of Bud's Tire Pros. I drive a BMW i3 and one of my tires kept having low pressure even after putting air so I knew I have to take it to the workshop but finding time is not easy because I work nights and have a 7mos baby at home. Finally took it to the BMW workshop and was told there's a nail in it and it will cost me $220. This is Dec. 2020 with all the unemployment and bills pilled up where do you expect me to get that kind of money! I asked for it to be patched but was told they don't do such services. I had to go look for a tire shop. Found my messiah for the day, Joseph at Bud's. Told him my situation and condition, even though it was going to take about 2hrs 'cos they have other customers but he had compassion on me 'cos I have a baby to get home to. He was professional, proactive, efficient and dependable. Within 30min my tire was fixed and the best part was he gave me the keys and said Compliments of the Season you don't have to pay. This man is also generous, he made my day! If you need your car/tires fixed, go to Bud's Tire Pros and ask for the main man Joseph, you and your car will be well taking care of, God bless you Joseph and Happy New Year! Keno A. read more

I have been in Riverside about 8 years now. Usually I buy my tires at Sams club or Costco. Just so happened I hadn't renewed either membership and had just enough to replace my wheel so I couldn't pay for the membership and the tire. So I chose to look for a local place. I found Bud's on Yelp and decided to call. I was able to get a quote over the phone and went there for my tires that day. I was greeting with smiles and professionalism. I have been back twice for other tire needs over the years and the same loyal crew greets me by name. They are extremely competitive in pricing. Highly recommended read more

After meeting bud about 12 years ago the service and the quality of work and their employees are second to none I recommend anybody and I recommend everybody to go to Bud's Tire Pro after three locations they will beat anybody's prices and you'll be treated like family read more

The best place for your car! Joe Ingram is the manager at this location and he always super good with us. He keeps shop running smoothly and makes sure you're always updated on the stays of your car. I take my car here before I go on a long road trip and I never have a problem with my car. The prices are great also! Buds is the only place I trust with my car. read more

Needed some work done on my truck before an out of state move. Their prices were in line with what I was told to expect, and they didn't try to sell me services I didn't need. Really nice guys, too. read more

Called at 11:30 for a quote on 4 new tires. Received a quote right away on the phone and was told they could do it today (on a Saturday). The price was great! We arrived around noon and by 1 they were done. Customer service was great, everyone was super friendly and helpful. I had called several other places as well, and these guys even beat the price from places offering one free tire if you bought 4. We have 2 cars, a truck and a motorhome and we will for sure be using Bud's for all our vehicles. Thanks you guys! read more

I went here because of the reviews I love them trust worthy. Will the my vehicles here from now on.

Mike and Joe in the office and Mike the mechanic are all my saviors. I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon with a battery that had gone bad in my truck. They were able to get the batteries and get them installed right away. The following Monday afternoon I stopped by again because my guages were not reading correctly. They had me bring it back the next morning and Mike in the shop did some great investigating work and found a bad cable. I am back running smoothly with safe transportation. Thanks so much for keeping my truck in great shape and me safe. read more

Don't bother making an appointment. We've been here twice. Both times we made an appointment. We had a 2:00pm appt for an oil change and alignment. Going on two hours and we're still waiting. And all they can say is "we are still working on it". This place is very unorganized. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!!!!!!! read more

Don't usually do reviews but very disappointed with Buds. Not entirely but wanted to vent a little. First visit. (Indiana store) Very nice phone call, replaced 4 tires (which I needed) and sent one of my rims off to be machined after hitting a pothole. Fair price, friendly service, done on time and good communication. Great start. However, after a few days the car was unbalanced and out of alignment after the tire replacement. disappointing but things happen.... Second Visit (Orangecrest store) Indiana store closed on a Saturday so took the car to Orangecrest to get it fixed. Again, friendly staff and visit, fixed the shake and thought the alignment was corrected but still not fixed completely. Improved but not fixed. Third Visit. (Indiana store about two weeks after the first visit) I needed an oil change and tires rotated at this point so since I typically change the oil myself, I figured I give them that business since this would be the third time their staff would attempt to fix my alignment. Every business has labor costs.. So, Alignment fixed and I thought after two weeks everything was right again, well after just 800 miles (my car requires oil changes per the manufacturer manual every 8,000 miles) the oil change due light came on. And to say I was LIVID was an understatement. 51,000 miles on the car and 6 oil changes performed, this was the first time the oil change light appeared less than 7500 miles on that particular oil change. After only 800 miles my only conclusion was the service was FLAT OUT NOT PERFORMED. (Opinion) because I hope the store manager would not be aware, was the mechanic did not "feel" like doing the change, topped off my fluids added a quart or less of oil and told his manager it was completed. You may be able to get away with this practice on cars that don't indicate when oil changes are due, but not on mine. I hope in the future that corners aren't cut to pad the bottom line, because that top line is going to suffer if you do, starting with this customer. read more

Called the locations in Riverside and near Woodcrest for an estimate installation of after-market springs and an alignment (which is rather straight-forward work). They quoted 4x the price of the place I eventually went to. Their estimate was by far the largest of 6 places I called. read more

We all need someone to lean on, and last night, my someone was Bud. Well actually it was Jahan, but he was representing Bud. HA! This place never fails to deliver. We walked in with 45 minutes left in the business day, yet we were treated like we were the first customers of the day. Jahan was so welcoming and joked with us the whole time we were there. They replaced our tire in under 30 minutes (dang, no free pizza), and we were back in front of our fireplace in no time. Jahan is an exceptional customer service provider; give that man a whopping raise!! Thank you, Bud's Tires! We'll be back! read more

Love this place!!! So I'm a total typical female that doesn't touch any type of automotive anything! The guys here are very friendly and complete gentlemen. They keep it real, and I would recommend this place to any girl in need of help. Ask for Jahan! He's the best! read more

Today was my first time visiting Buds, I needed to get my alignment fixed and Oscar helped me. He was very polite, and knowledgeable when I asked questions. I was very impressed with how fast they serviced my car. Great shop and they offer coupons which really help. read more

Had my car serviced here, and have to say that the customer service was great!! I had issues with the labor done, and let them know. I got a call from Donn, and he told me customer satisfaction was importsnt, and he was able to rectify the problem. He had ne come in to see how the problem could be fixed. And kept in touch to make sure things were good. At the end Donn even offered a complimentary oil change for my inconvenience, however I had already had my oil serviced somewhere else before knowing this was going be offered so didn't accept it, but the offer alone demonstrates their willingness to make sure the customer is satisfied with their work. . I'd encourage anyone who has a less than satisfied experience with Bud's to let them know. All the staff were welcoming and appeared willing to work with the customer. read more

I've been coming here for a few years now! They are GREAT people, honest, great prices and GREAT service! Thanks to Bud and your Crew!

Good service. Super nice. I went back in after purchasing tires for a check up cause my tire light went on...I probably spent less than 20 minutes waiting, they were super busy at this time and managed to get my car done in alil less 20 minutes. That to me is good service. read more

I'm sooooo in love with this place. The customer service is phenomenal. I walked in and was greeted right away. The gentleman here are friendly and courteous...I can go on and on about them but let's get down the nitty-gritty: So I got a flat tire when leaving from work. I immediately called Geico and they came and installed a donut. The technician advised that my tire appeared to be repairable but you never know. So, the next morning I Yelped all over the I.E. and found these guys. I called and was told the general cost for tire repair is $16. At that price, hecks yea I'm comin' in! So I decided to give them a shot and came in to get my tire repaired. The wait wasn't too bad. Maybe about a 15 minute wait until my car was actually accessed. One of the guys told me that my tire was severely damaged and could not be repaired and that I would need a "replacement." So I got the replacement. Took about 10 minutes for them to finish. When I went to the front desk to pay for the replacement with Donn (the most terrific, wonderful, amazing, stupendous gentleman ever), I reached for my wallet and he asked "what are you doing?" I replied "I'm paying." Donn, "Oh no you don't! It's free of charge. Get out of here and enjoy your day!" Whhhhaaaatttttt???!!!! The most generous thing that anyone has done for me in a really long time. (beside my mom hooking me up with money for birthday earlier this year! hehe) And I wasn't expecting them to but they rotated my tires as well. I knew that because the pressure light in my car finally was off! They were fantastic! I will definitely return if another tire blows out :-) read more

Not gonna lie , I was kind of nervous using this shop for the first time as I'm really strict on the shops that I use for my car. As soon as I got on the phone with Jason all my worries were put to rest. They addressed me in a professional and courteous manner and made sure all my questions were answered BEFORE I even stepped through the door. I felt comfortable leaving my car with them and they had me out in around an hour for a wheel installation and an alignment check . They don't try to sell you services you don't need and are very honest with their work , definitely will come here for future maintenance and you should to! read more

I have been going to Bud's since I started driving 16 years ago! They are amazing! Always helpful, understanding and quick. They give multiple options (price levels) for tires and wheels, and they will even rotate and fill them with regular maintenance. I've never felt pressured to buy anything additional...which is a pleasant change from the typical auto shop. And they even have wifi while you're waiting! I hope Bud's stays in business a long long time! Tip: Check their website for coupons before you go! read more

Another shop told me my front control arm bushings were torn and rear struts were bad and need replaced ASAP. I found Bud's Tire & Wheel as a local dealer for Energy Suspensions bushings for installation. After getting the parts I brought the car to Oscar and he notified me the bushings are fine and same with rear struts were fine too no need to replace yet. He saved me $220 in unnecessary labor! Has been a long time since I have dealt with someone with this much honesty and integrity at an automotive repair shop. Will definitely go here first and refer anyone I know. Thanks Oscar!!!! read more

Great Customer Service and at a great price. Lester helped me out with my car services. My car started vibrating, figured I needed to get it balanced and might as well get the alignment done as well. Lester was attentive and pleasant to talk to. I found out one of the tires needed changing. So Lester was able to quote me an affordable produces for tires. Left happy and my car doesn't vibrate anymore. read more

These guys were great! I went in for an alignment. They couldn't get it dialed in right away, so they let me take my car home for a couple days, so they could schedule a time for a specialist to take care of it, and they didn't charge me until the service was complete. Friendly, honest, courteous, and a pretty nice facility. Highly recommended for good, honest mechanics - something that's a rarity in this day and age. read more

I highly recommend this shop for all automotive needs. I have had work done on all my vehicles. They are always honest and fair with their pricing. Each time I am given options for the repairs and never feel pressure to have the work done. Both Joe and Oscar have been great to deal with. Also Bud, the owner, is always friendly each time that I see him at the shop. He also has a program setup to help disabled vets. This is fantastic as the vets deserve help from all of us. I can state that Buds Tire is a place that will treat you fairly and with respect. Take your car there for repairs, tires or whatever service you need. You won't be disappointed. read more

Had good service and reasonable pricing in the past. But, they seem to be going the way Goodyear did about 15 years ago: after the $$$ with honesty being thrown to the wind, as too many mechanics do. Took my truck in because of a small coolant leak. I was called by one of their people (I will keep nameless as I don't wish to hurt anybody's career) and said, "Are you sitting down?" Then he started telling me all of these things that need to be done because my water pump had a leak. The price, for the pump (parts and labor) was quoted at just under $2000. But, I was told "to do it right..." the cost jumped hundreds of dollars higher. I was a bit perplexed and started having flashbacks of my experiences with crooked auto repair shops. So, I decided to call some other shops. One very reputable shop in Banning ($900), the dealership in Riverside ($1300, which are generally have a premium cost), and a shop in Riverside that had very good Yelp reviews ($1000). Due to convenience, and price, I took it elsewhere. When I went back into Bud's to pick up my truck, the price the person put on my quote was $1500. I'm assuming this was to cover his tracks, partially, for the outrageous quote, over $2k, for an extremely small leak. Bud's, in my life, has gone the way of the crooked shop and will not get my business in the future. read more

Our company has been using Buds for over 10 years. Very reliable and honest I would recommend this shop. Thanks for being part of our SVS family. Dave Castaneda Trans/Safety Mgr. read more

I've taken many of my cars here throughout the last few years for various repairs from tire patches to new air conditioning parts. They have always taken care of me in a professional manner and are always super fast. I highly recommend this shop. Support your local Riverside small businesses! read more

Worst place to do business, do yourself a favor and don't !! Very unprofessional and if you have an appointment, well that's a joke, 2 hours later and car hasn't moved. I left and took my van for brakes to Goodyear Tires on Trautwein, just up the street and was in and out in 3 hours. Great service and men of their word. read more

Dont waist your time looking for better prices and comparing them to other shops. They have the best prices and best service, and they will do it right the first time. Few years back I had a 2001 S-10 with alignment problems, took it to small shop in chino they left it worst, I tried Firestone on Euclid in Ontario and left worst, so I looked for another place and landed at Buds tire shop and they fixed it the first time. Customer for life. Thank you. read more

I would have buds do all my work their prices are great their work is great and their people know what they are doing.thanks again to joe for all his help and l will send all my fiends to them read more

Oscar is an absolute lifesaver!!! After having problems with my last repair ship, he quickly diagnosed my problem, gave me an honest quote, and then walked me through the problem as well as troubleshooted any future issues I may have with my vehicle. I recently took it in the week to have a safety inspection done and was extremely courteous and fair in pricing. I received an oil change, liquids topped off, alignment, and fuel injectors cleaned for an extremely reasonable price! Absolutely love this place and have told many people about them! read more
