    Solex 44PA1
    Tyler P.

    Greg is an outstanding individual. I called a few different shops, and he was the only one who took time to ask me detailed questions about my carburetors. He rebuilt my twin Solex 44PA1 carburetors that came off my 1977 Bayliner Cascade with an in-line 4 Cylinder Volvo engine. It has been sitting in the past, and had stalling issues at load in addition to a very low idle. I mentioned this all to Greg and he had them tuned perfectly when I installed them on the boat. He is priced super fairly - and you can tell he lives and breathes carburetors. Thanks to Greg I was able to get out on the Bay and enjoy my boat.

    I am in the process of restoring a 1985 K5 Blazer. The carburetor is original and there are no aftermarket replacements. So I checked yelp found this shop and spoke the owner. He was very polite and clear on the price. The unit came back looking brand new. Very pleased.

    I can't say enough good things about this place. Shagan helped me out late at night when every…read moreother shop was already closed. My car was being towed, and he stayed past closing just to make sure I was taken care of. That alone told me everything I needed to know about how he runs his business. Since that night, I've continued to bring my car back here because the service is always on point. Shagan is honest, highly skilled, and actually cares about doing the job right instead of just rushing you out the door. His shop is very clean and organized, which says a lot about his standards. There's also a coffee shop right next door, so it's convenient if you're waiting, and the location is perfect for anyone in the Fremont or Union City area. What really sets him apart is that he stands behind his work. If something isn't right or needs adjusting and it was his mistake, he fixes it at no extra cost. That kind of integrity is rare these days. Great prices, great work, great service. I highly recommend Ace Tires & Wheel. 10/10.

    I came here to replace my front tires after they blew out. When Ace Tire and Wheel replaced them,…read morethey didn't mention anything about the alignment. However, I could visibly see that the tires were slanted. Later, I went to another shop and was told the front alignment was off, making the car unsafe to drive. I'm frustrated that Ace Tire didn't point this out or address it. It felt like they were only focused on replacing the tires and making money rather than making sure the vehicle was safe. I left thinking everything was fine when it clearly wasn't. Because of this, I don't feel confident in their service and won't be returning or recommending this shop to anyone.

When I was trying to pre arrange to bring in my car to get checked on he wanted to have it there on his time and not mine. Once I agreed to his time and date he acted like he gave into what I needed he asked why I showed up that day and claimed he agreed to Monday. But I'm a very meticulous person I had Friday on my calendar he even made a comment for me to uber to work bc I said It would be an issue to bring on a work day and a non issue on my free day. When he finally got the part for my car he waited until I showed up to tell me the part didn't work out. So he left it in when I asked why he didn't simply communicate with me and put my old part back in he said it was too much or double the work. Then later proceeds to call me to say he needs the car back to take out the part and put my old part back because he needed to return the part. Very strange bc he could've saved both of us some time just doing it then and there. When I asked for my money back he said he was going to deduct 100$ for the "work" but I don't think it's just taking in consideration that my car was not fixed. He ordered another part and claimed it arrived broken so I'll just take it to Honda and pay whatever their fee is to get it done correctly. He also refused to give me any invoices / itemized receipt for the parts / work being done. Saying it would've been more to write it up in the shop meaning I don't know if I'm being charged accordingly or overcharged.

I show him the picture I took of the brake line which looks intact and has no leaks, and he keeps insisting the thread is broken. Then in the middle of this his maintenance guy comes in and says he simply put the "bolt" back in and everything's good to go. Awkward. Then he's trying to get me to pay $190 to flush my brakes and says there's no way to know if theres a leak until my brakes get flushed. What??? Of course I don't do it and take my car to another more reputable shop to get the brakes checked just to make sure, and they tell me everything looks good. I can't say with certainty he was deliberately trying to scam me, but he's obviously giving tons of WRONG INFORMATION that could've cost me hundreds if not thousands of dollars while banking on me not knowing much about cars. On top of all that - after looking at the invoice I see they charge a 4% CREDIT CARD PAYMENT fee but didn't mention a single word about it. Not only is 4% MORE than what they have to pay for their own processing but not properly disclosing it or giving me an option to pay with cash or debit seems to border on ILLEGAL according to state laws. SHADY.
