I totally agree with some of the reviews that I have read about this place. I have visited it several times and been treated a little rudely being that I am a woman and looked at like I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to vehicles, when in fact, that's not the case. Once I did tell the owner who I believes name is Vic that I have knowledge in vehicles, he then begin to talk to me a lot differently once he knew he couldn't take me for being a woman who has no knowledge about cars breaks tires & alignments. read more

Great place, very friendly...the only place ill leave my '79 montr carlo . They do t just do tires. I ve been coming here for years...check it out A read more

Took my 2001 4Runner for a break flush. They said it was no problem and performed the break flush right away. Everything seemed good until the next morning i woke up to break fluid all over the ground. The tech overfilled the break fluid reservoir and when the break booster released it's pressure, the break fluid had nowhere to go and broke the cap and leaked out. Also, my breaks system hasn't work right since. It seemed the break booster or masters cylinder was damaged. I haven't been able to fix it as it is a $1200 part. read more

The manager Vic is very detailed and honest. As a woman coming in for any car troubles or services, we have to be careful with who we choose to see our vehicles without being scammed. Vic and his team diagnosed my car after a check engine light came on. I had previously taken my car to a different shop months ago because I had a check engine light. The mechanics at this other shop repaired it incorrectly and it lead to a bigger issue. Vic and his team dealt with this head on and took responsibility for it as if it were their own work. They assisted me free of charge and took care of the problem efficiently. Vic let me know he has been in this business for 30 years and his work ethic proves it. I will be a returning customer to this location specifically and will go out of my way to visit Vic. If you need something simple, or if you are facing the infamous check engine light, I urge you to visit this location. Thank you for taking care of me! read more

Replaced all 4 tires with an alignment. Great price and friendly staff. Came with a lifetime warranty for alignments and tire rotations. Also had a huge selection of real reputable wheels. Volks, BBS, SSR, Wedsports, Enkei, etc. Would definitely come back! read more

Had a really good experience, Vic was very helpful and answered any questions I had. Was very happy with the work done and was also done in a timely manner. read more

Took my truck in for alignment and they did a great job as always, but when I left I noticed my A/c was making a horrible noise. I know they didn't touch my a/c at all but they were the last ones to touch my vehicle so I took it back and brought it to their attention. After talking with them they offered to take a look and see what the problem was. So within 10 min the mechanic took out my blower motor and found something had broke under my dash and fell into the motor causing the noise. Nothing was wrong with my ac and the problem was fixed working 15-20 min free of charge. Thank you Vic for taking the time to see what the problem was I appreciate you guys making this right. read more

Now I'm sure it's not all discount tire location but this location said they are not able to rotate my tire as I didn't purchase the tires from them. I've lived in the state of NV before moving back to CA and all the store there offer free tire patching and rotation without having prior purchases of their tires. They provided great customer service over there and was happy to buy tires from them but unfortunately I moved back to CA before I could. I would have came back to buy tires from this location at a later date when I need to. But not any more or from other discount tire store for that matter. read more

Vick is always super helpful when I come to his shop! Always gives me the best suggestions as to what would be best for my car and budget! I have been a loyal customer of him for years! I've recommended him to friends and family and they also enjoy their experience here at his shop. He is very friendly and has amazing customer service. I highly recommend this shop and their services read more

Ive gone here multiple times since i bought tires for my dodge journey 14. Since i bought my tires there i decided to continue to go back and have them change my oil whenever it was due for a change. Most recent time that i went they did the oil change, but once i left the shop after driving it for about 5 min my check engine light came on. (I try my best to maintain my car since it is my family car) so 3 weeks later with the check engine light came on, i took it to a great mechanic that is currnetly working on the dodge, and to find out that discount tires used apparently some "unusual" oil that my mechanic was even surprised. So now this issue is costing me over $500. Thanks discount tires for your great service. read more

Dont come here, take your money somewhere else. I went in for new tires, I got them I noticed that a lock bolt looked like it was going to come off. I took it in and they said that he was going to get it fixed I told him ok, yeah your workers did it. But I also had asked an estimate for the breaks and he said 270 and I said ok next time. They put back my tired and and didnt fix the lock bolt, so I was driving without a lock bolt. DONT COME HERE. In order for them to fix there mistake they wanted more money. read more

Discount Tire Centers - This is what they did to it and they didnt even fix it, when it was there fault. Dont come here! - Tires Near Me - El Monte, California

Went in for an alignment and I paid $79.99. While I was waiting I walked across the street to go to Starbucks and when I got back Vic let me know that I had grease leaking from the axel boot. He even took me to the car to show me before they put the wheel back on. He advises me as to how much it would cost to repair that but told me it wasn't something I had to get done immediately. As a woman I'm always skeptical about going to the mechanic and being taken advantage of but with Vic I felt he was being honest. I went back 2 weeks later for a nail in my tire and they took care of me right away. read more

I have been going here for very long time. Vic always treats me with respect and always has an answer to my questions

These people sold me tires as new that were 5 years old without saying anything. There is a code on the tire. I did not know to look for this. I do now. DO NOT GO HERE! ANYWHERE ELSE IS BETTER!!! The only reason I found out is because I took my car to a different tire shop for a puncture repair. Was told they couldn't repair tires over 2 years old..... Was very surprised and pissed. ZERO stars would be more fitting. read more

As a woman I have always been treated with respect and honesty here. Never have I felt taken advantage like other auto places. Definitely has been for many years and will always be my to go place! read more

Couldn't ask for more .. Best tire shop!! Very professional & super friendly service, would definitely come back again (been getting our tires here for such a very long time, never disappointed) & would recommend everyone! read more

This review is for ALIGNMENT Service only. Went in for an alignment for my Toyota Tundra today. Called ahead at 4:00 to see if they could do it today, guy over phone says they're busy but will get it done before closing if I leave the car. Got there at 4:45 they cleared up by now, went over pricing inside, I got the lifetime alignment $189.99 special on 12/7/2020 vs the one time which is $79.99. They Pulled my car right in and got to work, done in 30 mins. Explained the work to me and gave me a print out of the adjustments and certificate for the lifetime alignment. My car was pulling pretty bad to the left. Drove straight as an arrow after the alignment service. Would recommend for alignment!! read more

Had an oil change and brake fluid change with a tire rotation. Service was great! Good prices!

My name is Elizabeth, discount tire is the best place to take your car for tires or any car repair. We have been taking our cars to this place for years. Vic does a incredible job of making me feel comfortable and I always trust him with my cars. Awesome customer service. Fair and honest pricing. I highly recommend him. read more

I bought 4 Kelly tires for my Subaru Outback and was very happy with the price and the service. I believe this shop is family owned and all the guys there are great! I had a screw in my right front tire that Pep Boys refused to fix. In fact, the service associate at Pep Boys told me I needed to buy a new tire! Long story short, the guys at Discount Tire Store patched the tire and they didn't charge me because I bought my tire from them!!! Fyi, I got an oil change and I believe it is cheaper at Discount Tire Store than Pep Boys!!! read more

I have been here twice already. I have two cars that needed tires and both times I have received great service. Vick is a great owner he offers Very competitive prices on tires and he makes me aware of any other mechanical issues that my car has. With this hard times is always good to find a good place with great service and decent prices. read more

This place is awesome. Has great customer service let's you know what's really going on with your car if you are having issues

DO NO TRUST THE POSITIVE REVIEWS!!! This place is terrible. The main guy VIC is shady. 3 months prior to my most recent visit he replaced my brakes. Guess what he suggested I replace this time? Yes, my brakes. Then he caught himself and said,"You're going to be ok." And don't trust the other positive reviews. A place like this can't have such polarizing opinions. Use your brain, trust your instincts. AVOID THIS BUSINESS!!! read more

Discount Tire Centers - Yelp continues to remove my reviews of this dishonest business. - Tires Near Me - El Monte, California

This is my real personal experience at this place. I shopped around, including Costco and Sam's Club, and I noticed the price was about the same so I decided to go here because it was closer to my house. While there I couldn't decide on which tires to go with because there are so many brands in the price range. I asked Vick a lot of questions and advice. He didn't seem like a friendly guy, nevertheless, I asked him anyway and he answered all of them for the whole time I was there. I ended up purchasing four new Goodyear tires for my Camry and it was a little less than the price they quoted me for at Sam's Club. I came back 3 days later because I got a screw in my tire near the sidewall. I brought it in to get it patched up and was told I needed a new tire. Vick gave me a really good price and didn't charge me for labor. You only know a person when you have problems and if they stand behind their promises and this is how I found out this is a good guy. I trust him now and will definitely come back and recommend other people. read more

My car was having issues with the PSI and when I went in to get it checked the gentleman that assisted me was very helpful. They weren't able to figure out what the problem was but did the best troubleshooting they could do and that's all I can ask. Would recommend to anyone in need of tire assistance for their vehicle. read more

My tire pressure light went off came here while waiting I saw the yelp review and started to worry. The check the tire pressure for 10 minutes and said you r ok just air I asked them how much the technician said no it is ok I really appreciated the service read more

I needed a new set of inexpensive tires. For the right price. Vic was glad to quote me a price over the phone. They did a great job and they were quick. Before I even took the car in I was having issues with a clicking noise when I turn to the right all the way and to the back to center.....turns out I had a cracked axle in the passenger side. Which I thought was an alignment issue. Well Vic was quick to a notice and recommend fixing as soon as possible. He quoted me a fair price and agree on fixing it the following week. Shop is busy and Vic is always running around checking on the work. To me that shows good leadership. Thanks Vic! read more

I hope this is a good outlet to warn you guys about these jerks, especially the owner Vic. Some years ago, and the memory is still fresh in my head, I decided to order some wheels thru him for my NSX. He said he knew the right offsets and specs for my car. I asked for the wheels to come in black chrome and he said they've been ordered. Well the wheels come in time but I could tell they were the wrong color so I ask Vic about it and he says they are black chrome when in fact right on the box it says super chrome which is white chrome. So then he says he'll get back to me on it. In the meantime, we keep the wheels mounted on the car and I drive off. So here's the lowdown. Later on I discover the wheel rubbing against the brake caliper. So much for knowing the offsets Vic you f'n genius. Without telling me, he inserted some non-hub centric spacers. They knew when they mounted the wheels that they didn't fit so without letting me know they put spacers on. Thanks you jerkoff. Then I find out through the wheel company that they refunded him $300 to give to me just to be nice even though he ordered the wheels in the wrong color. Vic tells me he will give me back $200 when they gave him $300. What a great guy! I keep coming back for months asking him about the money and he keeps saying he'll mail me the check. He never mails it so I try another tactic and try to get him to order some Bilstein shocks for me so I could at least get part of it back. Over a year passes and he never orders the shocks for me. In addition he promised to buy some H&R hub centric spacers for me so the wheel wouldn't rub on the brake caliper and this never happens either. It's been over 5 years and I haven't gotten one thing back from this a-hole. All these broken promises and flat out lies. Cheating and trying to give me a $200 refund while he pockets $100 of it. The wheel company had nothing nice to say about him either. Stay away from this shop. Vic is the most dishonest person I've ever met in my life. I haven't gotten any compensation for his mistakes and he ended up with an extra $300 profit from it. Where's my money and spacers VIC??? read more

I do not recommend this location. If there is another discount tire center around you, I would go there and save yourself from wasting ur time. They were helpful when I was purchasing the tires. But when went back for my flat tire, they were unprofessional. My tire was still under warranty but they didn't want to help me out. He firmly said they can't help me out. So I called another discount tire center in Fullerton, they were able to replace my tire. I realized that this store is privately owned. This location is NOT CORPORATE! Which means they can care less about customer satisfaction. They aim for sales number only. read more

DO NOT HAVE YOUR VEHICLE WORKED ON HERE!!!!!!!!! I don't know why I am writing a review after all the people who have been on here say the same thing I am going to say but here it goes anyway. I went to this shop after having a blow out on the freeway. I asked for them to replace both back tires on my Acura. The guy told me it should not take long.....after an hour of waiting my car was done...(or so I thought) and I paid them $373.00 and left. I got about a block away and heard a clunking noise. I thought it was something left loose in the trunk so I pulled over and the jack was left a little loose. I got back in my car and drove down the street and the noise continued so I turned around and went back. When I got out of the car I went to the right side because that is where it appeared to be coming from. These idiots left every lug on the right tire loose. I went inside and asked them if they were trying to kill me as I was headed to the freeway. The guy acted like I was bothering him and said I will be with you in a minute.....great customer service. Then after he puts my car on the lift and tightens everything he decides to blame me for damage done to the lugs saying the spare was put on wrong. It was all I could do to not choke him....I owned an Automotive Business for 6 years and I would never treat my customers like this. I told him he was out of his mind and his guy not tightening the lugs is what damaged the threads on the stud. He then wanted to argue but handed me a $25.00 discount coupon for an oil change. I just laughed at him and said what in the world would make you think I would ever come back here? Sorry such a long story but Consumers need to beware of these types of shops. I will NEVER come here again and I hope that no one else does either. These guys need to go out of business.......Please pass on to everyone you know. read more

I used to come here for a lot of my suspension/wheel/tire needs. They have very good pricing and the actual workers are fairly competent. Problem is Vic the owner. He is rude, passive aggressive, and a liar. You always have to be on guard about him to make sure he doesn't rip you off or it takes haggling to get him to the low price. The last straw is when they broke a rotor because a screw was stripped. I paid extra to have them get it out without hammering it out but Vic didn't bother relaying it. Wouldn't give me a discount so i just charged it back on my credit card. Won't be returning read more

I have been a customer of DTC for many, many years and through at least 5 vehicles that I have owned. I've been primarily patronized the Pasadena and Fontana stores. I've visited the El Monte store twice in the past two weeks. The first time the service manager informed me that it was a little too late in the day to have my tires rotated. He paired that explaination with a description of how he was too busy anyway and somehow short handed. Due to the nature of what I need done, and the nature of thier business, I can understand that. He asked me to come back another time and to do that a little earlier in the day. Fine. I left work early yesterday and arrived there at 4pm. The same service manager told me that he was short handed and busy, but he could get me in in an hour and a half. I asked if I could just make that appointment now and I would return in an hour and a half, instead of waiting around. He said I would have to stay, and he would have to take whomever came in between that time. I can understand that policy as well. I then asked if I can make an appointment for tomorrow. He said I could if I make it at 8a.m. I informed him I can't get out of work until 3:30, and I can be here the same time as now, which was 4pm. He became a little dismissive and raised his voice a little and said if you don't show up at 8a.m. you can't have an appointment. So I guess that, without saying it directly, you can't make appointments at this store and it's first come, first serve only, and only within a certain timeframe. Not late in the day. Got that. I don't need any attitude, and I really just need to know that it's first come, first serve, without the attitude and the word games where I have to ask that question directly or we dance around that simple explaination and instead cryptically talk about when I can and can't have my car serviced. I've never dealt with a more rude customer service rep at DTC that this fellow. I also don't care if Tom, or Steve, called in sick today and they are short handed. Staff it up. I just want my car serviced. Someone needs to give this customer service guy a refresher course in customer service if DTC cares to retain its customer base. I can't talk to my customers like that. Neither can he. read more

I use to come to this discount tires a lot and told friends about it, but the quality of service definitely changed. You have to catch Vic on a good day for him to give you a good deal or a day where sales have been low. He offered me 17" rims plus tires for $650 if I paid cash and the deal is only good right now. If you're looking for good prices and don't care about the brand name than come here, but if you're looking for name brand tires that are good, just go to Costco. read more

Came in middle October in my Tesla as an emergency as my warning light went on as I was driving to Staples Center for a Clippers Game. Found out there was a nail in my rear passenger tire which I just replaced from Tesla Motors. They fixed it and charged me $29.95 for the repair as the tire was replaceable. Fast forward one month later my tire light went on again and took it to Americas Tire in City of industry. Found out it was the same repaired tire that was losing tire pressure. Americas tire looked at it and said that there was no PLUG in the repair and just a PATCH and that tire was now unrepairable. First of all America's Tires do not charge for fixing tires. They hedge their bets on you coming back to them. Second of all Americas tires plug the tire before they patch it. I've seen them done this many times and trusted someone else to do it right. Now I'm out $300 on another tire.... read more

They have two links for Dscount tire in Yelp and they both talk trash about this horrible shop. An elderly friend of mine that has limited english got ripped OFF! He went there because he already paid for lifetime alignment, but they wouldnt align his care because he had balding tires. Then they wouldnt let him go without buying new tire. Dscount tire center is a bully and rips people off. No wonder they have such poor ratings from so many people. read more

Same as my other review about this shop on here. I wish there was a negative star given on this site; or perhaps a "DO NOT SHOP HERE!!!" WARNING. This is not a review for those who are looking for a great tires or an alignment shop. I am going to be as honest as i can without going over any site rules. I've bought a 3 year alignment plan at this shop 2 years ago. I found a coupon on the company's web site stating that i would get a 20% discount. As i was about to check out and pay, i present the coupon to the owner and his semi smile went into a down right pissed off look. He was not pleased to see a coupon and my services went down hill. I was rudely taken care of and not prioritized correctly. I though to myself that it would be fine and next time when i go back it would be a lot better. I was wrong! The next time i went back was a year later and he took my car in. He made me wait for 2 and a half hours just to let me know my tires were too worn to be aligned. (all this time he was a jerk and could care less as to what you have to think of him.) I just went again today after getting some new tires about 5.5months ago. This time he walked up to me after i parked my car and asked what did i want. I told him i had a 3 year plan and wanted an alignment. After that he said my tires were too worn to be alignment. He said i needed to get some new tires and he would do my alignment right away. (i want to include that he didn't even check my tires to know they are worn) I asked him what were his prices and he quoted me $254 for all 4 with all services. I said I'll check around and get back to him on it. After i said that, he quickly and rudely added "If you do get tires from anywhere else but me, I'll be sure to make you wait 5 hours before you can get an alignment." He concluded that he can match any prices I'll get at any other shops. This is my experience with this shop. I am not the only one with a horrible experience. My brother-in-law had a similar experience and so did my friends. I DO NOT, and i repeat DO NOT!!!!!! recommend this shop at all. They are rude and thinks that they are the only one qualified to do the job. I would rather pay more at another shop to get tires and an alignment before i come back to this shop. read more

Only 1 star cause I have to. This place is a fail. 1 vartan aka Vic aka vortex could care less if your wheels get to you when he says they will 2 the mechanics are all hacks and could care less if your wheels fall off 3 the mechanics expect a tip for their half ass job they do 4 he kept my stock M5 wheels and lies that he didn't have them , then I saw them there and he said " oh those are another customers " ya right with my same wheel rash that I covered with a paint pen 5 when I picked up my spare parts his lame ass helpers broke my coil over when the threw it in the truck 6 vortex Vic tells you he ordered the wheels when come to find out 6 weeks after when you go to get them he says he never ordered. WHY THE HELL DID YOU TAKE MY DEPOSITE THEN?! Fail boat express I joined yelp just to say DT sucks I was a customer for 10 years still no respect read more

If I can give them no stars I would. Horrible service walked in asking them about a part I wasn't to sure about thinking they would know the name of the part the guy just stood there saying "okay?" So I asked again well I can point it out if you wanna check he then replies "if you don't know the name I don't either idk what you want me to do" my boyfriend then got mad and just said let's go I then said you guys have horrible service this man then follows us to our car ! Are you serious he looked like the manager not sure but if this is how you treat people you shouldn't be working here read more

I've been working with Vic and Anthony since 1999. In terms of pricing with tires he is competitive and more so with whats in stock. This location is one of the few places that is capable of computer wheel alignments on lowered cars (applies to lifetime alignments; you might want to take advantage)... 2 alignment racks on the premises. On Saturdays, Vic will turn customers away an 1hr prior to closing. The place does get extremely busy on Saturdays. I just been turned away last Saturday. : ( read more
