I took my car into Goodyear because my brakes were squeaking, and I thought they might be going bad. It was over the weekend and not that many places were open. The inspection was fast, and when they came back they told me that the brakes were fine. Apparently they were just a bit dirty and they cleaned them for me. The best part was that they didn't charge me a dime. Thanks Red! I feel good knowing there is a place in town that won't take advantage of it's customers. read more

Was subjected to questioning when I wanted oil change. When he got to asking for my address I asked if he really needs that for an oil change. He said he did not. Not a particularly friendly an tactful way of dealing with customers. I asked if the could reset the maintenance required light on the dashboard. He said yes. But when I got into the car I noticed it wasn't done. Price was ok, though for an oil change 20 bucks. No reservation necessary and done quickly. read more

I took my car in for an oil change a few weeks ago before driving to southern California. I received a call telling me that a tire was showing secondary skin and the front wheel bearing had "play" to it and that it needed to be replaced. They gave me an estimate for the wheel bearing that was over 600 dollars. They told me that I needed to replace the tire before I drove down but could (understandably) not tell me that the wheel bearing was safe. As I am a young female college student with absolutely no knowledge about cars, I had them speak to my mother. They told her the same thing, and she decided to have two back tires replaced and not to replace the wheel bearing. When I arrived in southern california, I had my local tire man look at the wheel bearing, and as it turns out the only problem was that a bolt was loose and was fixed free of charge. BEWARE. read more

Really really happy with the service and I feel like I received a good deal with a special they were running on tire alignment and rotating.

On my way home thru the rain last weekend I realized my wife Tundra's tires sucked. I stopped by chance to see if they could put some new shoes on her truck. They were fairly busy but still managed to fit the truck in and two hours later it was done. This was great customer service and the work was done on time. I would shop here again.... read more

i took my car in for an oil change. They said it would be 45 min to an hour. I said no sweat and i'll jot over to the mall and kill an hour. I came back after an hour and my car was not finished. They stripped out my drain plug on the pan and tried to blame it on who ever changed the oil before. I know it wasnt stripped out, because I changed it myself the time before. if it was stripped out from before, the plug would not have stayed in during normal driving.The service manager was very rude about it and refused to fix it. they wanted to charge me for a new oil pan plus labor($585) I got a little upset and said that they broke, they better fix it. Then the service manager pushed me and tried to make me leave the store. It wasn't until I treatened to call the police, that the mechanic got between us and said he would try to patch it. He did by forcing a larger plug into the hole. these guys are crooks, stay clear!!!!!!!! read more

Horrible place! Been waiting over a month for them to fix the lug they stripped. They keep giving me the run around. First they say when they took the tire off it was fine but when they went to put it on it was stripped. Then told me I had to pay them to fix it. WHAT!!??! After arguing about how I should not be held accountable for their mistake they finally agreed to order the part and fix it. But of course the day I come to drop off the car no ones has any idea what they had to fix. After again having to explain why I was there, they say they will have it done by 12:30. When 12:30 rolls around no update. I called they said the part has not arrived should be here by 2pm. It was 5pm still noting. Finally I call them 10 mins before closing and they said they will call me on Monday when the part arrives and will fix it then. It's 3 Monday's later still no call or update and my tire is missing a lug. THEY HAVE NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIER WORK OR ANY CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THIER CUSTOMER!!! read more

These guys are awesome had my truck worked on very professional and on time. I am from out of town but i would look them up for service if ever back this way. It's hard to find good mechanical service these days, again thanks guys. read more

So, I brought my car in for a simple tire replacement. They were quick enough and all seemed well. I drove it just down the block and noticed some ticking/thumping. I told them about the new sound and they offered to diagnose the car for a fee. I wanted them to check and make sure they didn't cause the new sound and they wanted to charge me. Took it to a different mechanic and found out they had put on the wrong weight to balance the tire. The weight had been hitting some joint just inside from the tire damaging my car. So I got them to fix the mistake and the necessary "sticky" weight got put on. They couldn't care less that they had caused this problem and hadn't immediately saw/fixed it. They are a tire shop. Really? Never again. read more

Today I had a fast easy great price on a tire replacement I felt very taken care of thank you

Do not go here under any circumstances. They are horrible. I had a oil change appt that was suppose to take 30 min. (had an appt) THREE AND A HALF hours later it was done. Had to come back the next day, air pressure lite was on. They did not fill my tires during rotation as I specifically asked and on my return they didn't have time to fix the lite which their error caused. Bad business would never go back. This on top of rudeness from the guy who waited on me. There are too many places in town than to be treated and lied to this way. Forget it go somewhere else. read more

I've had my tires rotated here a few times. I had some issues the last 2 times. They are really busy here. I called ahead the day before to make an appointment. They never bothered to enter my appointment in the appointment log. When I arrived at agreed upon appointment time they had no record of my appointment. Had to wait 4+ hours. I asked them to do brake inspection while wheels were off but they did not do this. They over inflated the tires. They mis diagnosed tire wear patterns. And they did not return/lost my wheel lock the previous time I was there. read more

I'm really surprised by the negative reviews on here...especially by Erin N! I've been coming exclusively to this Goodyear for 8 years now and keep coming back because of the excellent service and quality work. Every time I've been told a wait time they stick to their word. I've recommended this place to countless friends, never had anyone complain to me about it and have only heard good feedback. Every person there I've met is friendly and professional, I've never had any issues with them. For a tire shop, that's what I look for. Honest people who you actually enjoy being around while you wait for your car to be fixed! As for Ryan, he's been there as long as I've been coming in and always greets me personally. All the guys there are great...Erin, I'm not sure what crawled up your ass but just by reading your review I wanted to make it clear to other potential Goodyear customers that this place is awesome and so are the people in it! I guess you can't please everyone though... read more

This place is great. The employees know what they are doing here. Have dropped off cars for oil changes and every time has been a great experience. Prices are very fair also and they never up sell you any services you don't need. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Made an appointment online to get some new tires. I filled out everything on the online form after selecting my tires and clicked the box that requested they call me before my appointment. Well, I never got a call, but I figured they must be busy. I go in to find out that they have none of the information from my online appointment form except my name and that I have an appointment. They also didn't have my tires. The guy working seemed irritated but told me he could get my tires for the next day and rescheduled me. I called the next day, still no tires. Will not be using this place again! read more

My starter went out on my Camry this Sunday morning in Capitola. Goodyear was recommended to me. They were open and waiting when the tow truck came in. Derek did the work and was very helpful knowing that I needed to get on the road. I was impressed that they had the part and were able to squeeze me in. I will definitely go back to this store. read more

Don't bother making an appointment as they are strictly first-come. My car sat for an hour past my appointment and was not touched. Two other customers with appointments came in during that time and were told they would have to wait based on volume of work. read more

Daniel is back! Therefore, so am I! He is so professional and service oriented. I am so impressed with him. I can count on him to work with me and for me. Simply the best! (38th and Capitola location) read more

I came in today thinking I need to repair a flat tire. The service was quick and friendly. They determined that I don't need a repair, so I got my car back within 30 minutes without a charge. I would recommend this place. read more

My boyfriend just got his new tires there a few days ago and got the cheapest deal around to get new tires and to have them put on his rims. In a time when money is cheap I was really glad he went in there! They were really fast with service and had two people working on the truck. Part of this might have been they were closing at six, but still, it was appreciated! read more

As a customer that was very dissatisfied with their service, I was actually very pleased with the follow up to my complaint. The service manager Ryan Brown could not have been more helpful. He had Jake solve my air conditioning problem on an old (1995 Thunderbird) car and did not charge me an arm and a leg for the work. I think next time, I will just complain to the manager first and then write a negative Yelp review if there is not a professional response. In this case, I was treated first class and more importantly, I was treated fairly. Thanks Ryan and Jake for solving the electrical problem. You have a satisfied customer writing a positive Yelp review. read more

I had made an appointment online and got a confirmation email. After circling the block a couple of times until a parking spot opened up, I went inside and was told that they didn't have my appointment since the online system didn't check their in store availability. What a waste of time. Definitely going elsewhere. read more

I've been taking my car here for about 4 years, & have been happy with them. The customer service is hit & miss, but I'm impressed with their reasonable prices & fairly fast work. They have given me a discount before just because I'm a long-standing client, & I really appreciate that. read more

Great place! I called this morning to see if they could get a nail out of my tire. The guy on the phone said I can drop it by and they could fix it in between the other appointments. I dropped it off around 8am and got a call by 8:50am saying it was ready! I was so pleased that they fixed my tire fast and the workers I dealt with were friendly. I appreciated them taking care of my tire and not trying to get me to buy a whole new one! Best part was that they only charged me $20. I would go back again. Thanks!! read more

The tire business is about service. If the store has the tire you want, at the price you are willing to pay, the measurement is about how you are treated and the convenience offered for provision of installation and any other requested service(s). I knew what I wanted, understood the price and discount offered this month, and left my vehicle for tire installation and alignment, if needed. After 5 1/2 hours of waiting, I called the store and learned that the tires had been installed but the alignment check had not been done due to tie-rod wear. (Remarkably, I was not offered the opportunity to request order and scheduling for replacement of the worn parts.) Went to the store to get the car and asked why no one had called to inform me the installation was complete and no further work would be done. Two employees at the counter told me that so-and-so had not called me (which I clearly knew) and when i finally asked if they thought that was a problem, agreed that I should have been contacted. Hearing the unhappy conversation, another employee (I'd bet a $100 he was a manager) emerged from an office to lean on the counter and ask what was going on. After that, he said nothing. After completing the paperwork for the tire purchase, as I was about to leave the store, one of the staff finally said he was "sorry" for the problem. I took the opportunity to advise him that some kind of expression of regret closer to the start of an initial customer interaction when the business has failed may engender a customer's beginning of relaxation about a situation. Three employees of this small business, which had been vigorously recommended to me by a friend who happened to accompany me, had no idea about the most basic of customer service fundamentals. My complaint is not that the failure of communication that kept me away from home for hours, but rather that the staff were completely clueless about how to even speak with a customer. I regret to say that I am done with this business. read more

I wouldn't go anywhere else. They were honest with me about being busy, but fit me in and fixed extras I had been putting off for a steal. Instead of having my rack and pinion or suspension fixed, they figured out that my tires were severely unbalanced and one had 3 extra weights on it. This is after having brakes redone, tie rod replaced on the weighted wheel, and alignment done at a specialty 4x4/AWD shop because my car has a truck drivetrain. Now my car drives like new. They had the 13" windshield wiper that I was told I would have to order from the dealer in stock, saving me $, and put it on for $5! THE BEST PART: I had been waiting to smog because a check engine light was on, diagnosed as an O2 sensor which was $200+ to replace just the part. 3 repair shops, same story. These guys noticed that one of the jackalopes who worked on my car had not replaced the brake fluid reservoir cap and they thankfully put a piece of plastic over it to help me out until I can get the part. If it stayed like that, I could have gotten a bubble in my brake line!! Goodbye check engine light. The power steering flush solved all of my morning groans and steering wheel stiffness. I knew the tranny flush was overdue and was the most urgently needed service but I forgot to tell them, and this was the first thing they recommended doing right away after checking the fluids, so I knew they were totally on top of their game and not trying to charge me for erroneous items. They also have the Tire Pressure Monitor sensors in stock for my car, which was another thing I was told I could only get at the dealer, and they do the inspection for $25 and apply it to the cost of a new one. I've never been more satisfied with car repairs in my life, and IT'S MONEY IN YOUR POCKET to go with this shop which you can trust. All of my Santa Cruz friends agree, and get their business vehicles serviced there too! J. R. Neveu is the Store Manager, nicest man you will meet in your life, and even with adding all of my unscheduled repairs to their already busy schedule that day, they elected to work before and after hours that day and the next to help somebody who was traveling and needed an urgent repair, so that they could get back on the road ASAP. That's what commercials for other companies advertise but never deliver. read more

I had won a coupon for a free tire rotation and balance, so I scheduled an appointment to have it done. Half an hour after dropping off the car, I got a phone call saying that they can't do the work because my tires are too worn. So I asked the gentleman nicely if he could do it anyway and I would promise to exchange my tires soon since I wasn't prepared to spend a lot of money right then. He declined. When I came to pick up the car, the same guy didn't even dare to look me in the eye and apologize. He just requested that I sign some papers. I asked if he could at least return my coupon, so I could redeem it at a later time. He declined again and said that he even asked his boss about it. I reminded him that nothing had been done, so the coupon should still be good. He replied that by coming in I had already redeemed the coupon!!! I am really disappointed in this business. I had a couple oil changes done there in the past and it was never a problem. Today I didn't feel like a worthy customer at all (maybe because I didn't spend any money there?)! I wonder, if they would want to be treated this way. I'm not going back...... read more

Yes, this is the best place in town to get your tires! I recently bought two rear tires and was so impressed with the professionalism, efficiency, and expertise of the manager that I returned to get the front two tires also. The staff is friendly and the price was even better than Costco! My car feels fantastic with my new tires! I'm super happy and will only go to Goodyear Capitola! Thanks for the fantastic service! read more

I can't say enough good things about JR and Derek who assisted me last week. I was in town on a business trip and noticed a low tire alert on my rental car as I left the hotel. The rental company sent me over to Goodyear and the staff greeted me with a smile and there were no hassles. They repaired the flat and send me on my way in less than 30 minutes. Thanks guys ! read more

do not trust this shop......not quality work at all....over charge lie about repairs done......very bad place....go somewhere else for tires and car repair.....this place is a rip off...2 water hoses 1 oil filter housing gasket 800.00 cant understand how they are still in business.....BAD REPAIRS AND BAD QUALITY........ read more

I've been here twice in the past month and the service has been outstanding both times. They checked my tire right away and I was able to drive off with a new tire within an hour. Professional staff that makes you feel like your business is appreciated! read more

I've been going to these guys for years because they always work me in their schedule and do a good job. Great prices on tires and they always make time for rotation and balance jobs. Manager Ryan is a professional and seems to care about the business and customers. He has made time to search for particular tires for the best price. I don't know about complicated vehicle mechanical work here, but they are the tops for tires! read more

Zero complaints. Got me a smoking deal on a set of tires and a rebate to top it off. In and out in an hour. Honest guys, goes a long way.

I made an appointment and it turns out this means nothing to them. I went for an oil change and 4 hours later I got my oil changed. I asked an employee what the best time to come in would be, and he responded with "8am, when we open." Same employee was not as interested in his job as he was about getting my number. I was told it would be one price and it came out to twice as much. Not coming back. read more

I requested a quote to install 4 tires purchased from Tire Rack. Brett quoted (over the phone) $10/tire. I made the appt for a few days later. When I arrived at the store, David looked at my 4 tires and asked what car they would be installed on. He then produced a written quote for $110 and change. I explained that was nowhere near what Brett quoted. David stated that the price he (David) was quoting was what their Tire Rack rate was (answering a question I hadn't asked). I asked if he would honor Brett's quote. No, he would not. Thus, a one star rating.... read more

I got a quote for 4 tires on Saturday #1. The following Friday morning (at 10am) I called to make sure they would have all 4 tires for tomorrow (at 11am) and was assured they would be. Arrived on Saturday #2 to find that they only had 2 tires. I had them do the 2 tires anyway, scheduled the other 2 tires for the next Saturday (#3) and went home. Then found that they had charged me $20 more per tire above the original quote. Went back on Saturday #3 and was able to get the correct pricing (i.e. a refund) without an issue. But, 45 minutes later, was then told that they had forgot to order the 2 tires to be installed. So I had to wait 90 minutes while their guy drove to Los Gatos, to pick up the correct tires that they had a week to order and have delivered. After I'd been there for 3-1/2 hours waiting for 2 tires, a brake check and an alignment, finally left with 2 tires, a $1,200 "brake" quote (containing over $1,000 of crap I didn't need or want) and no alignment. Even with the manager right there... No apologies, lousy customer service and very little attention to detail. A sad example of bad follow-through and mediocrity. Now I have to spend Saturday #4 finding another automotive shop to do the actual 4-wheel alignment. I will not be back and have already told several people to avoid them. read more

My family and I have been loyal customers of this Goodyear location for nearly 15 years. We have always had good service; having had everything done from minor work like oil changes and tire rotations, to more complicated stuff like having a window replaced. I had always been happy with their service until recently. I went in for a simple oil change, which would turn out to be the last oil change my car would ever receive. A month later my engine was blown, essentially totaling my car. I took my car into a mechanic who checked everything out and informed me that my engine was not leaking oil, nor was it burning oil, yet the engine was completely empty of oil. Apparently when i had my oil changed at Goodyear Auto, they drained the oil, replaced the oil filter, and FORGOT TO PUT THE CORRECT AMOUNT (IF ANY) OIL BACK INTO MY CAR!!! Thanks for killing my car Goodyear. Now I get to go through the process of trying to get them to either fix my car or pay for the damages. Meanwhile I am left without a vehicle. I can only hope that Goodyear will have enough humility to admit their fault, and do the right thing. read more

My daughter had her oil changed and when the associate called to tell her it was ready he advised her that the rear brakes needed to be changed. When she said that she would look at them he told here that they wouldn't make it through the weekend. She bought a set of rear pads and brought her truck over to change them only to find out that the rear (and front) were not even half way worn. They actually looked really good, No need to replace anything! I went with her to speak with the manager who made an excuse that they were talking about a different car but would talk to his associate. I can't and will not tolerate places that try to take advantage of people. Although this is my first time to yelp Capitola Goodyear, this is not my first issue with them. The manager (David) said they have made changes in the past, but I think they need some more changes before I would recommend anyone to have work done there. read more
