My brother has been going to this Firestone for years and highly recommends it. He had an issue with a tire under warranty but he was having a bad day and was very grumpy. He was admittedly rude to the sales associate Anthony, but Anthony was able to remain professional and calm as well as calm my brother down. Anthony made things right and in the end was able to make my brother a very happy customer. Because of Anthony's patience and amazing customer service skills, my brother will remain a faithful customer to this Firestone store. Well done Anthony! read more

Worst place to take your car! The manager Art is a horrible manager. Came in to get an oil change, just had the car a week prior before taking it in. Had no leaks or anything! After getting the oil changed, I noticed that my car started to have an oil leak. I called to ask what happened cuz it wasn't there before(didn't even tell me or let me know that I had an oil leak or asked if they could fix it) I talked to the manger Art and omg was he the rudest! Told me to shut up and let him talk! The worst customer service I've ever experienced. Don't waste your money at this place! They will fuck up your car! read more

I had initially made an appointment through their app requesting services I needed done for my car. A few hours later I got an email from them stating my services were unable to be done and the appointment wasn't made. It also stated I would receive a call from them discussing other appointment availability. That didn't happen. I called, spoke to someone, requested a oil change and tire rotation during the same time I had requested through the app, and my appointment was made on 6/14/21. Today, 6/16/2021 my appointment was set for 2pm. I was told for appointments my car would take 1 hour - 1 hour and 30 mins. I dropped my car off at 1:38. I called to check on my car at 3:45 and the guy on the phone told me they were BARELY pulling my car in to begin services. I asked why is it being pulled in now if my appt was at 2. All I was told is they lost a few mechanics and they're really behind. I pulled my car and just left. I wasn't about to sit and wait another who knows how long. When I got there the shop was full on both sides of vehicles. A few employees were smoking outback and there was a gentlemen that was on the computer when I got there, and still there when I left. If you're expecting your car to be done in a timely manner, take your car elsewhere. read more

I went in just now...11/1 @ 1600 hrs. These dudes are knuckle draggers. They suck...the guy working in the front didn't acknowledge me one bit. His ears were glued to the phone talking about " article crap back and forth" and trying to sell warranty certificates to this ignorant customer that don't know jack about wheels and tires. Stood there for 15 minutes and not a single acknowledgment of apologies for the wait....and guess what, there were no other customers waiting but me. I completely understand why this place has the crap reviews. read more

Went here to get a single tire needed to match the other 3 on a new car I had just bought. Anthony helped me out right away but informed me the tire was discontinued. He checked with warehouse and was able to get one delivered the next day. They called me mid morning said the tire was there and I went down and tire was on in less than an hour. Anthony also hooked me up with road hazard protection for all 4 Firestone tires on my car even though I only purchased 1. Ronnie was helpful in the checkout process as well. Great place. Definitely will go back. read more

Took my truck in for a basic oil change came home part in the driveway and now I'm looking at this it's pretty ridiculous as it's such a simple job I just can't do it because it's a company truck and it has to be done by a shop. Now my driveway is all stuck with oil stains read more

Alex did an amazingly mindful and quick check on my battery while the shop was busy. His promptness with helping was to make sure i was seen same day and had my concerns addressed. Great service. read more

Anthony went above and beyond to make sure my car was as safe and reliable as possible for my babies and I. The compassion shown to me not only today and every time I visit this Firestone is unmatched, I leave with a smile on my face feeling fully confident in the services I received. Car repair and even maintenance is not cheap and as a woman I often feel anxious when talking cars and repairs because it's very easy to be overcharged like I have in the past at mechanics before becoming a Firestone customer. Anthony made sure to address my concerns and make everything I needed in repairs happen as quick as possible, he even helped make sure I was able to pick my babies up from school. I'm a forever customer, thank you for everything. read more

We made an appointment on Tuesday to come this Sunday at 1pm; I even called this morning to see if they can take me earlier, William said they can't which was fine so far; when I got there Anthony helped me, initially he denied the appointment to justify the 4 hours wait for tire rotation but I insisted to look up by the phone number, he found it and even lied claiming this isn't an appointment but rather notes in the system! He kept changing his story several times and finally he blamed the inadequate staffing of his shop and his guys need to take lunch break! I understand delays happen in businesses, I understand sometimes businesses can be short staffed but this is where ownership and quality customer service comes in, they should have informed me over the phone of this unreasonable delay and let me decide if I want to come, second treat customers with respect and dignity when you can't deliver what you promised; don't cover your incompetence with lies! read more

Art and his crew take excellent care of my car and are prompt as can be during my appointments. I highly recommend bringing your vehicles here! read more

October, 2019: Had my tires rotated with a "Complete Vehicle Inspection" for an additional charge at Firestone Complete Auto Care 3230 Dale Rd, Modesto, CA 95356. Drove the car to my home which is a mile away with a grinding noise with each turn of the wheels. Concerned, I didn't drive on the freeway. The Problem: Lug nuts to both front wheels were so loose that "you could turn them with only your fingers." This is according to a qualified mechanic to whom I took the car to afterward. Additionally, the mechanic states, "if you were to drive it more and at freeway speeds the bolts will snap for sure." - For those who are unsure what this means, I could have lost by detachment my front wheels while driving on the freeway. I'm lucky to be alive writing this and to warn the public. You could be next. This is CRIMINAL. Firestone is a tire company. Using a torque wrench to tighten lug nuts on a tire is so basic and fundamental. I'm NOT a Firestone hater. I have been a Firestone customer at this particular site for about 20 years - I live just a mile away. Over the past five to six years, I have notice decline in the quality of their staff and store manager. Surely upper management is aware of the negative reviews and, just in my opinion, their business plan and corporate profit pressure prevents them from making improvements to simply bring the quality of work and public safety up to industry standards - AT PUBLIC EXPENSE IN TERMS OF SAFETY. read more

I had a car package service check last 10/01/21which they said some needs attention like my tire needs to be change including wheel alignment and tuneup (wiring must replaced). I ask how's my battery and they said my battery still in very good condition but somehow it died today and I had O'reilly Auto parts check on it and told me it's really bad. I have no choice and replace my battery. I don't know if they do just a visual check ( which now I'm thinking) or they really actual checking on it (or not really). read more

I recently went to these guys on dalered and they did a sloppy job and tampered with my engine and with other part's of my truck and left the part's loose and caused more damages to my truck....there so-called technicians are scammers...who do a incomplete job and charge you for work they do incorrectly and purposely leave engine part's loose and put things back incorrectly to purposely cuase you more repairs to make more money off of you....theft by deception....gross negligence....they falsely paperwork and don't do the work they say they do.....if they did it to me .....they will lie and cheat you too...and deceive you too....they just care about the money and the commission they make of of you...from the counter people to the service advisor to the mechanics they are dishonest and unethical.....like I said if they did it to me they will do it to you.....just warning everyone to stay away from that Modesto shop......I already reported them to the automotive bureau..the bar association..and they are helping me get back my money and have them pay for the repairs I git done at another shop in town......I've seen them charge other people for incomplete work as well......don't trust anything they say....it's all about the money.....not the customers....4/3/24....PJ the service advisor is crooked and dishonest....it crazy how these mechanics want to charge you several hundreds of dollar's for sloppy work and incomplete and incorrect work...and take advantage of the poor working class citizens in the community....they also got grease stains all over the inside of my truck on the carpert.....it doesn't matter how old my truck is you should giv3 everyone exceptional service despite how old there car is......professionalism is hard to com3 by theses days.....so is honesty.....theyvall drive nice vehicles......do you think they would leave grease stains in there new cars.....tell you all about there character....GREEDY PEOPLE DONT DISCRIMINATE....WHEN YOU CARE MORE ABOUT PROFITS OR MONEY....THAN YOU DO ABOUT PEOPLE......WATCH OUT .....WHO WOULD HIRE A CROOKED MECHANIC...... read more

My tires were low and I came in to see how much to fill my tire with air and Anthony told me it's fine and checked my all my tires and made sure it's all good. Very nice and respectful. Will return for anything car related from now on. read more

By far the best customer service I've ever received from any auto place! Anthony and other staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and will get you the best deal that they can. I went in to get 4 brand new tires and initially got quoted just a little more than I could afford. Anthony, the service manager then helped me out and matched the price to costco. Then I also got additional savings on a promotion they had running and saved an additional 5percent by getting approved for their credit card that has no interest for 6 months. I couldn't be more happy with the service and this is where I will be going from now on.. Sergio Lafosse aka Tom j read more

To everyone in Modesto CA.. stay away from this place...the service advisor PJ..is only concerned about making a sale for his commission....I went for a alignment job and took it in twice and they didn't even complete the job and they tried to make me purchase other repairs while they didn't complete the first job then I watched them. Charge another person for a job they could not get the parts for and they knew that and still charged him for nothing.....plus they got grease all over my carpet in the truck.....very negligent and incomplete work.. sloppy...I took my truck to another shop and they did the work correctly and right the first time ... plus they sent me out back to the streets not fixing the alignment job and that's unsafe and could of damaged my truck.....and they tried to make me repurchase new parts.... to replace new parts I already had replaced a few days ago....they are very dishonest and you should take your car to another shop....they are only concerned about overcharging you and they don't even finish the job correctly.... read more

I booked an 11am appointment and by 12:15pm my car was still parked in its same spot..How long should a customer with an appointment have to wait just to have them do a oil change..I've tried to give them the benefit of doubt. Maybe I should just stick to early morning appointments.. Half a star read more

Went in for brake service on my truck. They proceeded to STEAL my brand new aftermarket air filter and replaced it with a dirty nasty USED filter, and then they charged me for a new one! Fuck this place. read more

Firestone at Dale and Standiford in Modesto, California. Had a basic four wheel alignment and tire rotation job done at this facility. Problem: front tire was NOT bolted properly leaving enough "wiggle " that according to another shop which I had to spend more money to fix, I would likely lose the tire had I drove in the freeway. In other words folks, Firestone almost killed me or my wife or my son whomever is behind the wheel. read more

My car is making a whistling sound that goes away as soon as the clutch is engaged. There is also a vibration in the clutch pedal. I called today to make an appointment to bring it in and they refused service. Apparently I have to drive out of my way to another Firestone to have their shoddy work fixed. I also waited for the director to call me for weeks and never received a call. The complaint has now been escalated to corporate and hopefully they will do something about it. I cannot urge you enough to stay away from here at all costs! Clearly their technicians haven't got a clue. And the management is unaware of what customer service is supposed to look like. read more

I made an appointment on line went into the store they said they didn't have an appointment scheduled for me. I even showed them my email confirming my appointment. He was rude and didn't acknowledge my appointment. read more

Had an appoiment, Was told to wait several hours. Went to another dealer and was treated very well, Better price on a more quality tire brand. World of difference on treatment. Kicking myself for being a past firestone loyal customer. Will never again visit or recommend Modesto Firestone. read more

I've been bringing my car here for over a decade. The past couple years I've been asking for the inspection service at every oil change due to the age of my car. Up until the last oil change everything was fine. However, at the last inspect I got a report that showed at least 1000+ bucks worth of service needed ( keep in mind that 3 months ago at the last inspection, everything was fine ). Suspicious I inspected the vehicle myself and determined most of it was not needed. I then took it somewhere else to get inspected and they confirmed it. They did kick up a serious issue that these folks missed, however. They take forever, their customer service is garbage and their mechanics are both incompetent and untrustworthy. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Absolutely disgusted in service, took them 2 days to destroy my rear bumper with their clamps and then called me to tell me they can't do the alignment. Didn't feel the need to mention the damage and then denied they did it even though it was clearly from the alignment clamps. Manager was rude and would not admit fault. She also seemed amused with me being upset about my paint and bumper. read more

Firestone Complete Auto Care - The type of service you can expect with a Firestone guarantee! - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Modesto, California

Made appointment, they gave me time frame 2-2.5 hrs, got a call from them and they even said when i needed it by and said no worry well have it by 1pm (3hrs time) come back 3.5 hrs later and they say probably another hr! WHAT THE HECK! And for customerservice it sucks, usually waiting in line with no one at the counter. When we make appointments and are given time frames and then reassured of a time yet keep delaying is totally unacceptable. We have things to do as well. Do u want payment at ANOTHER TIME or day, or when I think its ok to pay? NO they want it now but cant even take care of the customers who are paying not cheap prices! read more

Even if you make an appointment you probably will still have to wait for three hours. It's almost like time does not exist for these employees. I am a firm believer of not over booking because that is when things seem to go wrong, and anything can happen! If you have a lot of spare time on your hands and don't have any plans, than by all means you should come here. If you want fast service.. I would definitely not show up to this place to have your tires replaced. read more

I called and spoke with Paul this morning at 11:30am and after he remarked that the schedule was very light, he set up alignment at 2pm today. When my wife arrived at 1:45pm, she was told that the car would be ready after 5:30pm. Now, I know an alignment only takes an hour, and I also know that I scheduled this appointment for 2pm, so I called and spoke with Paul again, who did not remember our conversation that morning (I can't blame him here - I talk to a million people a day too and know how it is). He told me that our appointment was not scheduled and they were extremely busy. I asked him to pull the call recording of our discussion at at 11:30am so he could hear himself tell me 2pm would be fine, but he cut me off and said he'd have the car done in two hours. Again, an alignment should take a maximum of one hour and my wife doesn't have that kind of time to wait around with our 18 month old son. I told him it needed to be finished in 90 minutes to which he replied "Look I'm trying to help you here." I'm sorry, Paul. I will be the judge of whether or not someone is being helpful. I regret not taking my business to McCoy in the first place. read more

If I could give this store ZERO stars I would. The only good thing about this place is the front desk lady (I think her name was Leslie) was really nice and accommodating. HOWEVER, the mechanic that looked at my car was just trying to get me to pay parts. I had put brand new terminals on my car maybe about 2 weeks ago & they wanted me to pay $126 for new ones?! NO! They didn't even test my starter or alternator like they are supposed to with the $25 they tried to charge me. Had the audacity to tell me they couldn't test the starter because it doesn't start. Uhm, you think I would be here if it started?! NEVER COMING BACK! Needless to say I did NOT pay them the $25 they tried to charge me for sitting and doing absolutely NOTHING. read more

My 17 year old took her car for an oil change and they said the wrong plug was put in the oil pan on the prior oil change. Tried charging her over $800 to replace whole pan. Took the car to a local mechanic shop and they changed the oil with no problem at all. The mechanic didn't even charge after we told him about the Firestone experience. They pretty much tried to money grab a 17 teenage girl. No morals-No class-No more business from us! read more

After buying new tires at America's Tire, I went to Firestone for an alignment with an appointment. They made me wait anyway and eventually put it on the rack and after an hour wait informed me that they couldn't align it because the nuts were stuck and couldn't be loosened. They tried to sell me on front end replacement. I refused and went to Midas. Midas did my alignment with no issues. No story about stuck nuts or parts needing to be replaced. read more

They will make an appointment 0700hrs, if you arrive a little early they will NOT let you in to wait inside. Please be fashionably late 10 minutes late. If they don't deliver in time, bill them for lost time. read more

I believe they took advantage of my granddaughter yesterday, she went in with a tire that went flat on her at Target in Modesto some guy filled with air for her, but it went flat overnight, they filled again and drove it to Firestone because the place where she bought them was closed (Sunday). She was visiting her friend and the friends parents only spoke Spanish. Whoever attended to her never spoke to her directly at Firestone, they spoke in Spanish to her friends parents. She was fed a bunch of bullshit, the Firestone employee told them that the rim on the tire was in bad shape from driving it flat which was a lie. When I called today I was told that their was a puncture on the side wall and they couldn't repair it. I will never know the truth. All I know is that the other 3 tires have plenty of thread and I think it was more profitable to sell her a new tire, since she is young and did not know what was going on. I am F pissed. They did not show her what was wrong, she was told she needed a new tire. They treated her like a piece of you know what. read more

This place is a joke. If you're like me and find yourself needing a tire change on a Sunday in Modesto you will notice only a couple places are open. Do not make the same mistake I made and bank on this one. I called the establishment at 9am (the time they open) to inquire if I could bring a truck in to have a tire repaired and it needed to be done by close of business Sunday for I had a business trip on Monday. They lady who answered the phone couldn't even answer basic questions about the availability of their tire technicians as well as if they even could do it. All she kept saying is "I have a lot of tickets already, I have no idea. I can't tell you anything." Mind you.. I called at 9am and they had only been open for 3 mins at this point lol. Being a service technician myself I was a little surprised by how she was handling the situation, she clearly didn't care nor did she seem to have basic knowledge. Honestly it's like why even pick up the phone if you can't answer basic questions like available of tire technicians lol. She said it was best to just bring it in. I decided to bring it in and listen to her (driving a 2500HD on 45psi because the stem broke) as it was only 4 minutes from my house and noticed there was a fleet of vehicles but only two people who were ahead of me in line. Only one associate was actually assisting customers and I asked him about the situation and he immediately told me it was impossible to have done that day but he could have it complete by Monday. Normally I wouldn't really mind but it just blows me away with how incompetent that lady was. She could've easily just asked her coworker (who she was standing next to) if it was possible. Long story short, they just seem rather incompetent and rude when you're in the shop. Do what I did instead and save yourself a headache and take it to Pep Boys on Orangeburg if it's a Sunday. They will get it done for you and for cheaper. read more

I was talking to someone about flat tire and told me just be here as early as possible and I'm still talking for another question and just hang up on me . read more

Had a really bad experience with this place of business. Bought a set of tires from them a few years ago. The tires were good, Service was good, or, so I thought. Anyway they gave me a good deal. 4 very good tires for 550.00 and there was a special deal at the time where you could take 90 days to pay them off with no interest being applied. So why not? Well 30 days later I get a letter from First Credit NA, which is Firestone, saying that I missed my first payment of 39.95 and now owe them a late fee of 49.95. So now I'm looking at a payment of 89.90. Called the dealer and told them what had happened. They said they would look into it. 31 days later I get another letter from them saying they are concerned that I haven't made a payment and that I now owe them another late fee of 49.95 along with the original 89.90. I immediately wrote them a check for the original sale price of 550.00 and sent it to them. 2 weeks later I checked my bank and the check had been cashed by Credit First NA. They continued to charge me late fees for about 3 years. I kept sending them letters of explanation along with a copy of the cancelled check showing that they had their money. It took my cousin who is an attorney sending them a letter to put an end to it. 5 stars for the great tires and minus 4 stars for the bad business ethics. Oh yes, 3 thumbs down read more

The reviews before mine, both good and bad, are correct. The good: They are friendly and knowledgeable. The do the job well. I trust them not to try to sell me on work that does not need to be done. The bad: It does not matter if you make an appointment or not. They will always say they have time for you. You will wait too long for your car. I have made an appointment for an oil change and noticed the car did not get into the shop for an hour. The reason I use them is because it is one of the few places my fleet-managed company car can go that does it all. I would also use them on all cars if it was convenient to drop the car off at the start of the day and pick it up at the end. If this is you, I cannot recommend them more highly. But if you are looking to get a quick oil change, tire rotation, or just have it checked out while you wait, better bring something to do, cause you will be there a while.

I usually go here to get my oil changes by walkin and its typically no problem and i get out by in hour or less. I made an appt this time and it's been over an hour and a half and im still not out of the building. Im a little disappointed because i've had consistent short visits where I didn't have to make an appt and they would seem busy and I would get out fast! It's one thing to tell me it'll be done in an hour WITH appointment but yet I'm just sitting here on the couch nearing 2 hours. But all the employees are very great at what they do. All have been very welcoming, great customer service. But to be honest, I don't know if I'll be going back here anymore. read more

Not sure about the actual quality of more in-depth repairs and maintenance, but I've gotten my old changed here at least 5 or 6 times, and every time it's been smooth sailing, and I'll continue to come here unless I experience otherwise. The lady at the front, or sometimes the guys, are all friendly... seems to get the work done alright. read more

The oil change was very fast and I like being able to come in at 7am. My only complaint is that oil leaked on my garage floor when I got home because there was probably some spillage when they added oil or removed the filter. It's alway good to do a thorough wipe down after the oil change so that doesn't happen. read more

Although the mechanics are knowledgeable about cars, they lack the skills to do a complete job and they don't have the organization skills to run a business. i called in and asked if i was able to get an alignment. i live in Merced so Modesto firestone is a 40min drive. they assured me that if i came in promptly at 5pm, the alignment machine would be available for my car. I arrived at 5 and guess what?! they had two people in line in front of me, and they were going to close the shop at 6pm.. the guy at the front said "uhh.. sorry we don't have time to do your car. who did you speak to on the phone?" !!!! how can they make a stupid mistake like that if they are trying to run a business? i came in a week later, at a specified time (i called beforehand to schedule) and i had to wait 40min while they finished 2 cars before me. the mechanics actually do know what they are talking about, and explained what was wrong with my car. however when i asked them to straighten my steering wheel, they didn't completely recenter the steering wheel by equalizing lengths of both tierod ends.. also, butch is a grumpy old man who should retire soon before he hurts himself. read more
