    Tony helped me pick out the right wheels, tire size, level kit, and alignment so I wouldn't rub the bigger tires while towing a boat. He did the work in less than half a day and my truck feels like a brand new truck and looks completely different. At the last minute I asked if he could get me a replacement battery which he was able to contact a vendor and get it delivered and installed before I picked it up. Hit this guy for a high quality job for a competitive price. Solid dude and will definitely do more business in the future

    I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience working with Tony. I contacted him on Facebook market place looking for new tires for my outback. He responds pretty quick and recommended a tire I hadn't thought of based on my needs of creating a more capable Subaru off road vehicle. He has the best prices in San Diego area and I'm very happy with the selection I chose after his rec. Drove 40 minutes out of the way for their service and would do it again. Go here!

    5-stars all around for Tony!! Talk about quality service and an overall great experience from the very beginning. CMT will go above and beyond expectations. Great prices and they don't nickel and dime you like the majority of tire shops in North County. Tony is super friendly, personable and really communicative throughout the entire process. He helped me pick out the best set up for my new 2025 Tacoma! I will not be going anywhere else from here on out. CMT has gained a loyal customer and I'll be sending all my friends and family over to Tony!

    So why choose CMT Wheels and Tires? 1. Great Low Prices. Saw Tony's post on Facebook Marketplace for a good deal on 17" Bronze Method 318 with Falken 285/70r17s, and I immediately hopped on it. Tony is very responsive and gives you quick quotes based on what you asked for. Be sure to ask him if he's currently offering any specials. 2. Exceptional Good Service. I just got my lift kit from a different shop and the mechanic forgot to bolt on the ABS bracket on the UCAs. Came in during my appointment and asked Tony if he had 10mm bolts, and I'd be willing to pay extra. Tony took care of everything and didn't charge me. PLUS, I came in late to my appointment since I drove down from Long Beach. Nothing, but smiles and kindness from Tony. For good products at a great price, and spectacular service, come to CMT Wheels and Tires. Tony will make sure you're taken care of and leave with a smile.

    Wheels/tires

    Took my wheels here to get tires mounted and balance and also took my truck here to get an alignment after lifting. When I say I am OCD with things such as wheels getting scratched when tires get mounted I am as picky as it gets. Tony who owns the place not only got me a great deal on my tires mounted and balanced, he beat amazons pricing on the tires but he was also meticulous about the tire install. All wheels survived (no scratches) and my alignment was spot on. He provided a printout with the alignment as expected. I would go back immediately for any of my alignment or tire needs. We need more people like Tony in business, let's keep this guy busy so he can pay the bills and be open for our needs! I will be back again.

    See all

The staff is helpful, and their tip about coming in on Thursday mornings for quicker rotations has definitely been accurate. When I purchased new tires back in November, they also pointed out wear and tear on my control arms, which I appreciated since my car was still under warranty. I took it to Honda for a second opinion and repair. My main concern is the lack of documentation. Each time I've come in for a tire rotation, I haven't been given any paperwork confirming the service was completed. As a customer, that's important--not just for tracking maintenance, but also in case any issues ever come up down the line. Since they are registered with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR), I would expect consistent invoices or service records for every visit. It would also be reassuring if they followed up on previously identified issues, like checking whether the control arm concern had been addressed. Overall, they've been a reliable shop for us, but improving communication and providing proper documentation would go a long way.

A special thank you to Brian, the manager, who is always at the front greeting customers and making sure everyone is taken care of. You can tell he truly values good customer service. The service I requested was handled smoothly and efficiently, and the team made sure everything was done properly. What I appreciate most about Evans Tire is their honesty, quality of work, and great value. The staff are knowledgeable and they take the time to make sure the job is done right. Overall, it's a place you can trust for great service, good value, and quality work. I'll definitely keep coming back and recommending them to others.

I called for an estimate on a oil change, giving the specific year,…read moremake, and model (there is only 1 engine type), and the mechanic looked it up and said it would be ~$75 all in (labor, recycling, etc). I verified that it would need synthetic oil. Less than 10 mins later, I was there and spoke to the same mechanic who called me by name. After the oil change, the final invoice was $95 all in and the mechanic said it was because it needed "full" synthetic. Since he had looked it up, and that there is only 1 engine type for the year, make, and model, it is strange that the oil type would change, and if so, why didn't he tell me when I arrived? Had I known, I would have gone somewhere else. ADDITIONALLY, the mechanic recommended services at 15K miles (only in another 3,873 miles!!!) , that the car with only ~11K miles on it, needed 1) an alignment check (didn't say based on what), 2) brake fluid change, 3) differential service with fluid change, 4) clutch fluid change, for a total of $334. I expressed doubt, and he turned the screen towards me and it appeared it was not from the make of vehicle company, but their own software. Even though I don't know much about cars, this sounded crazy to me for a low-mileage ~3 year old car. Indeed, I later checked the maintenance manual and it says that the next recommended is at 18K miles (not 15K), and is only an oil change+tire rotation. The manufacturer's recommendations for what Firestone recommended are: 1) alignment check - no recommendations, from my reading you do not need to have your alignment checked unless your car is pulling from straight, or was in a front-end accident, 2) brake fluid change at 30K miles, 3) differential fluid change at 60K miles, 4) clutch - inspection only at 12K, 24K miles. So as you can see, this Firestone branch is clearly is trying to get less knowledgeable customers (I am a woman who doesn't know much about cars) to get unnecessary maintenance.

After an hour, the service manager recommended two front tires, a brake fluid exchange, a coolant flush, and an air filter package. Despite the mileage on the car, I agreed to the additional work, essentially rewarding their upsell with several hundred dollars in extra business. The reward for my cooperation was total neglect. Between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM, I watched my RAV4 sit untouched in the service bay. At 11:00 AM, the manager told me it would be "another hour." I reluctantly waited, only to find my car still aloft at noon--no tires mounted and no fluids changed. It was only after I voiced my frustration that the mechanics finally began to work. They seemed far more interested in hitting their vape sticks and jamming to blaring industrial music than completing a job for a waiting customer. I finally got my keys back 3.5 hours later. When I questioned the delay, the manager claimed that two tires and fluid exchanges is a "three-hour job." As someone who grew up working on cars with my Dad, I know that is absolute nonsense. In a professional shop with the right equipment, that work does not take three hours--unless, of course, the staff is lollygagging at the pace of a snail pulling a bobsled. What is the purpose of a 9:00 AM appointment if the vehicle is ignored for the first two hours of that window? I was billed the most, yet served last. The unprofessional atmosphere and the "distracted" nature of the technicians also make me question if safety-critical tasks, like my brake fluid and tire mounting, were even performed with the necessary precision. I have been a loyal customer of Pep Boys for years, but the appalling attitude and lack of work ethic at this San Marcos location has me rethinking that loyalty. You didn't just lose my afternoon; you've likely lost a long-time customer.
