I would highly recommend Hal's auto repair and tires, I was in and out in less than 20mins. High quality of work that was put out. The respect that his crew has is unmatched. read more

This is the place to go from the basics to major stuff!! Awesome guys and quick great service!!

Came here for the first time due to my rear tire needing to get patched up quickly after running over a nail and I could keep hearing it losing air, I quickly called Hal's as it was closest to me. I was almost worried they sound too take me bc it was almost 5 pm but They told me to come by and Hal and his team took care of me right away. It was all patched up and better within 20 minutes and I was so so relieved bc I had somewhere I needed to be as well. Hal is very gracious and seems like a very genuine person. I paid a very reasonable price and left very happy I most definitely will continue to recommend to my local family and friends. Thank you again so so much! read more

Went in to get a smog check and to use my coupon I've gotten from Groupon but was told I wasn't allowed to use it? Why have a Groupon coupon for purchase and not allow customers to use it??? Took my business somewhere else. read more

five stars...for a tire plug anyway seems like they have it together although haven't done anything complicated yet read more

Half and his guys did an amazing job fixing the front end of my Accent. He even matched the color of the fenders, bumper and hood! All for less than I would have to pay for a used car. They have always been dependable an very helpful! read more

I had new tires and windshield wipers replaced about six weeks ago, so yesterday it rained and the driver side wiper flew off while I was driving with 2 kids in the car. thank God it did not hit the car behind me. I was able to make it home but it was scary. I called today and was told that I could either pay another 50 dollars to have a new one put on or go pick one up myself and they would install it. I think they should have replaced it free. since they did not install it right, heads up to the public their work is apparently not guaranteed. thanks for reading this. Karin read more

They fixed my car soooo fast & gave me a very fair price! I am thankful that the headache of my car breaking down was accomplished quick & professional by them! Towed it to Hal's after hours & got it back by noon the next day!!! Thanks so much! read more

No nonsense business. I was very pleased. I took my van in to get smogged. I made an appointment and showed up on time. I was greeted immediately and was asked for my keys and DMV paperwork. I had a nice conversation with the young man at the front desk. Shortly after, I was presented with my smog cert and DMV paperwork. Paid my certificate fee and was on my way. Prices reasonable, was in and out in less than 25 minutes. All in all a great experience. read more

I had no idea how much it would cost to fix my A/C, let alone what was wrong with it. Hal's has a machine diagnostic test which found the problem and the part. After all was said and done it was only $165 for service and parts, and done within a couple hours. I was very pleased. They were responsive and friendly. Would definitely recommend. read more

Had a very pleasant experience here earlier today. Went in to change one tire on a '92 Honda Accord. Was quoted around $110 for everything- less if they could find a used tire of the right size in their inventory. After inspecting the car, they recommended repairing the tire for $20. It would have been much easier for them to charge the full $110 to make as much profit as possible. We found our new go-to! read more

I recently had back-to-back mishaps caused by my young adult daughter. This place was a life saver and very fair in pricing!!! They were fast and patient with my situation. I'm really grateful for them. While I was super impressed with their service, I hope I don't have to see them for a while!! This is my new go to spot!! read more

They Responded to every call and every question I had. Also were very military friendly. Definitely going back in case of anything else I need. read more

I came in because I had a flat tire. The guy that came to find out what I was there for was very rude. At first he said he couldn't do anything for me. Then he said fine and acted as if he didn't want to accept my service. He waited until the very last moment to tell me I needed to pay with cash. He was extremely rude in his mannerisms, if it weren't for my circumstances with my tire i would've taken my business elsewhere. The mechanic that looked at my tire and fixed it for me was extremely nice he had a strong accent. My opinion is if you don't know how to have good customer service maybe you need to not be in a field with the general public. I do not recommend coming to this shop, you can find another place to meet your needs and give you better service within a 5 mi radius. read more

The employees that I encountered were all nice. I got my brake pads replaced and it was done in a reasonable amount of time. They do not try to oversell you here, which is good. I have also gotten a smog test done here and that was fast as well. I will be back!! read more

I am terrible at keeping appointments! This business has always been kind enough to fit me in their busy day. Their prices are better than competitors and I just can't recommend them enough. read more

Page 1 of 2 DEMAND LETTER July 21, 2021 Entity Number Registration: C4221419 Date: 12/17/2018 Status: ACTIVE Entity Name: Hal's Tire & Total Car Care, Inc. Jurisdiction: California Agent for Service of Process: HAMID RASTAVAN I, Jacob Wallace, do hereby swear to the following. ON May 6, 2021, I brought my 2004 Chevy Silverado, Lic # 73846B3, to Hal's Tire & Complete Auto Care, Inc. for complete auto care. Odometer reading was 140,722 miles. I informed this business that I was doing a two month cross country road trip and wanted all aspects of the truck checked, repaired and documented. I was billed $ 2,676.33, paid in cash. After being on the road, I became aware that the brake sensor had not been repaired by Hal's Tire & Total Car Care, Inc. The differential (rear axle gear) had gone out in Alabama. Tire City and Automotive Service, Montgomery, Al., reported that the gear axle oil was low and that that resulted in the unit's failure. Odometer reading was 145,545 miles or 4,823 miles after Hal's Tire & Total Car Care That bill was $3,894.05, paid in cash. On July 15th, I engaged Hamid Rastavan and Hunter Rastavan seeking a resolution. I offered that Hal's Tire & Total Car Care, Inc. could split the differential bill 50/50. The business refused. However, Hamid Rastavan, "resolution" was that the business would repair the brake sensor if I signed a declaration that the business was not accountable for the differential repair. Hamid Rastavan, boasted about going to court or filing a Bureau of Auto Repair complaint, would be a waste of time. Page 2 of 2 July 21, 2021 DEMAND LETTER Entity Number Registration: C4221419 Date: 12/17/2018 Status: ACTIVE Entity Name: Hal's Tire & Total Car Care, Inc. Jurisdiction: California Agent for Service of Process: HAMID RASTAVAN On July 17th, 2021, the truck was brought to the Midas Touch, Vista, CA shop for a possible brake sensor repair and inspection. That shop reported and documented that the rear brake pads are at 20% and could not have been new 8+k miles ago, the mileage was 148,800. I demand that Hal's Tire and Total Car Care, Inc. pay for the differential repair and the brake sensor work for a total of approximately, $ 4,394.05 ($3,894.05 + $500). If there is no response in 10-business days, Hal's Tire & Total Car Care, inc. will be sued in a court of law. Hunter Rastavan will be subpoenaed as a material witness. Regards, Jacob Hal became unhinged, argumentative, and engaged in a circular discussion that was weird. Having no logic or sound reason he then threatened to call the police as Hal escalated the discussion. Hunter said they us Carfax, Hal said they use the Michel System but their lack of docs showed they were both untruthful read more

Great service, great deal! Thanks again -PS, I was searching for new tires for my 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid (all four) and this was the spot that did a great job for a good price. Included the alignment also read more

Hunter & Blake both went above & beyond with my problematic tire. They removed tire and searched for leak. They also put air in all my tires all without any charge. You better believe when I need new tires or if any friends / family need tires I will highly recommend this business. Service unsurpassed and I did not even need a new tire. KUDOS to whoever hired these 2 service focused gentlemen! read more

Had to change all four of my tires, came here because of the glowing reviews from Yelp. The reviews did not lie. Came in without an appointment and they were able to fit me in right away. Only waited a couple of hours and the staff were super friendly. read more

Called and made an appointment for a smog cert to reregister the car. No problem, get it done that day. Showed up at the appointed time and got right in. Staff were nice and friendly, place was busy but I was out of there in no time at all. I've been to a couple of places in years past and I've always felt I was being sized up for a rip off. Not in this case. It was, hook your car up, do the readings, YOU PASSED, and here are your keys and paperwork. So if you need a SMOG check. Go to Hal's. Go to Hal's, Go to Hal's. Price was right too. read more

It's hard to find an honest mechanic these days. I bought tires two times. If I go in need and a tire rotation they do it quickly and free. They've fixed/ plugged a tire w/ a nail no charge. I took my car in thinking I needed brakes, so I left it With them. 20 minutes later Johnny calls to tel me my brakes are fine and that they had rotated the tires for me reset the the tpms system.... that light had been on for almost a year!! Long story short they could have told me my brakes were bad... because I thought they were and that I needed new tpms sensors in my tiers. Thanks guys!! I appreciate your honesty!!!! And customer service. read more

Great shop. We got a bolt in our tire on the way home from San Diego. Looked up this business in yelp and stopped because it had great ratings and was close. They took care of us right away and plugged the tire in under 10 min. Only cost us $20 and we were on our way. Thanks Hal! read more

Horrible service do not come here. Over charges and gives false diagnoses. Takes advantage of customers and their lack of knowledge about cars. Horrible communication, came in for a refund on my bill and ended up getting charged more money!!! DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!! read more

Horrible! Don't go here!! Huge rip off! Take advantage of you and over charge and lie about what needs done! If I could give them zero stars I would! There are so many other places in Oceanside that are reputable businesses this was a horrible experience! read more

Don't come here Needed two front tires for my Camry because the front right tire was from 2004, just bought it used so that's super dangerous and needed replacing. Took it to Hal's and he made a mistake and miscalculated the time the tires would get there because he had to order them, so they would come the next day and not that afternoon like he said. Honest mistake, understandable. I take it the next day, puts on the tires on in about 30 or so minutes and I was extremely pleased. Take it home, front passenger side tire was flat. You'd think with brand new tires how is this possible. So turns out they put the old 18 year old valve stems on a brand new falken tire. That's what 300$+ for two tires and labor buys you I guess. Swapped it out with the spare and drove back, my driver side front hubcap came off as I'm driving down the freeway because the worker didn't pop it on all the way, or the passenger side one either as I noticed while changing the spare. Went back and put new valve stems. It pisses me off that I kept asking why you'd put an old valve stem on a new tire, dodged the question a million times assuring me it was fixed but it's like that could have messed up the rim, that could have messed up my car, it's dangerous, it's not a good way of doing business. He didn't even seem mad at the worker, and just sent him on his lunch as I pulled up and like honestly I'd never come back here if you paid me. I've already told people if you need tires don't go here whatever you do. Owner's a nice guy but that's not a good way of doing business that's all I have to say and it wasn't worth 300$ I could have paid the same or less and went to a Firestone where they actually do a good job and you don't have to deal with bullshit read more

The best of the best. Been going there for years. I've taken all my work vehicles and personal vehicles to him. Hal is honest and sharp.

These guys are fantastic. My tire was flat due to a screw. Hal said come on down. Had me fixed up and on the road in 20 mins. Wish I could give 10 stars read more

The owner Hal is kind of trustworthy but the other employees try ripping you off when the owner isn't around. I brought my car in to their auto shop just to get two things done and they listed 5-6 things wrong with my car... they will look at your car open things that you didn't ask them to touch and tell you there's things that are wrong with the car. I then thought to myself how could there be something wrong when it's a new car? So I took my car to the actually branded dealership and they told me the things they listed aren't true and that my car has been with there dealership and well maintained. Basically they're making a problem to your car to make more money. read more

I was in and out in 20 minutes. Friendly service and excellent pricing! I paid around $35 for my smog+certificate. I love small businesses and this is one I'll frequent for years to come. read more

I've been frustrated by a slow leaking tire. I found Hal's on yelp, it was convenient, close to my home and open on Sunday! After calling, the manager, Johnny said they could fix tire for $20. It was 4pm Sunday when they closed at 5. I arrived 15 minutes later and although there was a lobby full of clients, they got right to work on the tire. I met Hal, the new owner and he was friendly and courteous. I'll be going back to Hals for my auto repair and tire needs. read more

I am so grateful for such an honest bussines owner such as Hal. He really works with your situation and is open and upfront with you. I recommend woman who are not mechanically inclined to give this gentleman a try! He has a great appreciation for his military customers too! read more
