They fixed it for free, noting that the tires still had plenty of tread and that the nail was in a spot that was easily repairable. They were professional and friendly, even though the repair didn't result in an immediate sale for them. Our family has bought tires from America's Tire for over 20 years. It's a great brand, and the employees at this location reminded us exactly why.

I went to each to say they never responded back except 1. Now it says they served me but they didn't. I found Big Brand Tires on my own. They were good, at getting my oil change done, advised me that I needed an alignment so got that done as well. Big Brand Tire Service didn't make me wait.

Update to original review:…read more After I contacted Big Brand's customer service team, they responded promptly, involved the district manager and local management, inspected the vehicle, and ultimately replaced the damaged oil pan at no cost to me. During that process, they also acknowledged that diagnosing the exhaust manifold issue was beyond the scope of what their shop is equipped to handle and told me they should have referred me to a shop with the appropriate expertise instead of simply reporting that no problem could be found. They said they would use this as a coaching opportunity with their employees, which I appreciated. In the past, they've been upfront about the types of work they do and don't perform, and I think that's a reasonable approach. While I'm still disappointed that the original inspection missed several items, I appreciate that Big Brand took my concerns seriously, communicated with me throughout the process, and ultimately stood behind their work by replacing the oil pan. That willingness to investigate the issue and make it right is why I'm updating my review.

I have been a customer of Villa Automotive since 2010, when I moved here for Cal Poly. For many…read moreyears, I trusted your shop with my vehicle and maintained a long standing relationship with your staff. I knew your employees by name and remember Miss Kitty, the shop cat who used to chase mice around the property. Because of this history, I expected to be treated with seriousness, professionalism, and respect. That has not been my recent experience. In spring 2025, Villa Automotive replaced the front panel on my car. The repair took approximately eight days. When I arrived to pick up my vehicle, the panel was blue while my car is black. This error was immediately obvious and should never have passed inspection. Correcting it required additional time and inconvenience on my part. This reflects a lack of basic quality control. The more serious issue involves my splash shield. I brought my vehicle in because the shield had started to come loose. Your shop completed the service on a Saturday and charged me one hundred dollars. Less than two weeks later, while driving up the grade, the splash shield detached from the vehicle entirely. This created a dangerous situation and forced me to pull over on the grade to retrieve it from the roadway. When I inspected the shield, I discovered it had been secured using zip ties. Charging one hundred dollars for this type of temporary and unsafe repair is unacceptable. This method failed almost immediately and directly compromised my safety. When I returned to the shop with the failed part and requested a refund, I was told no and informed that this was the best that could be done. This response made it clear that my safety concerns were not being taken seriously. I felt dismissed rather than heard, despite presenting clear evidence that the repair had failed and put me at risk. After more than a decade of loyalty, I expected accountability and a willingness to stand behind your work. Instead, my concerns were minimized and disregarded. I no longer trust Villa Automotive to perform safe or competent repairs, nor do I feel confident that customer safety is a priority. As a result, I will obviously not be returning.

Since retiring in October 2025, Monday has becoming my "Costco Day." With the price of gas…read moreridiculous, I've started filling up my Dodge RAM at Costco. The gas service area is quite massive and very clean. I have yet to see it crowded, but there are green/red lights to signify the status of the pumps. Lots of room to navigate, even large vehicles to get to a pump. It's one way in and one way out. Hard to talk price, their gas price is on average a few cents cheaper than what I can find in Paso Robles. Doesn't really make it worth my while to drive 30 miles to save a few cents, so I couple this stop with my Monday shopping. If you are a member of Costco, I would recommend the pumps in SLO. It's freeway accessible and affordable when you start looking at other gas stations off LOVR.
