Watch out for this one people, total bait and switch. I was referred to them by a trusted community business owner, he said they were good. I went to the web site linked to the business and found it helpful and easy to navigate. I called the business, spoke to Doug , he recommended a tire for my vehicle. The price on the web site about 152.00 for each tire, I then asked for the out the door price and it sky rocketed to 1015.00 That's over 100.00 to mount and balance each tire. I asked him why the price went up so much, he said he did not know who put those prices on the website, and he would make no money at those prices. A very poor answer for an obvious bait and switch operation. If you go to the other big tire shop chain in town, there is clear transparent pricing, showing the price for each step of the purchase, exactly what everything costs, nothing is hidden. I guess that on the coast you can get away with doing business like that, not so much anywhere else, you would be out of business soon. Caveat Emptor read more

I took my new to me car to ocean tire because i thought them being a locally and well know business in the community I could trust that I was getting what I paid for... I was very wrong. Something was going on with my brakes. I had just replaced the back ones, but was told that they were locking up and the E brake was locking up... I paid almost 700 including 2 hours of labor.. only to have my brakes lock up again a few months later. I called to see if they could look at it again and was told that they couldn't get me in until they end of the week... I parked it for a week, because of frustration with absolutely no intention of taking it back to this place the other day I took the tire off just to see what was going and what I found was unbelievable and honestly made me sick to my stomach. Those are not new brakes And how the hell did that take 2 hours?!? read more

See all

Reliable, honest, skilled. I brought my car in for repair and was quoted a fair price. When I picked it up they told me it took less time than they thought, and they REFUNDED the difference. Who else does that? They earned my trust. read more

These CLOWNS wanted $198 to mount & balance 4 new tires that were given to me!!! No wonder all the bays were EMPTY when I was there... THEY ARE CROOKS !!!!!! read more

I needed tires for my 2016 Tacoma. I also needed a front end alignment and an oil change. I'm not a fan of the dealer. There was another place nearby but I have a friend who went to the other place and the work they did put her at risk. We went in a couple weeks ago to get a price on tires. I wanted a certain tire. I had a Show Truck for 5 years and I ran Toyo's on it. Great tire, so I wanted the same ones. The gentlemen at the front counter was very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. We also saw Newport PD had one of their cars there. I'm a retired first responder. You can't afford to have a place do bad work on your response vehicle so seeing a NPD car there, I was impressed. We received a call the next week the tires were in. We scheduled an appointment for an early morning. Our truck was taken in immediately and work began. Their location is central so we were able to walk around town. It took a couple hours to get everything done. The price was right where I expected it. The tires are great. The truck drives smooth. This is definitely a place I will give my future business. Our truck is now out of warranty and I was wondering where I was going to take it. This is my new place. Great work guys! Thank you! read more

EXCELLENT! I was travelling interstate when my TPMS light came on. Staff at Ocean Tire checked the tire pressure and sent us on our way- no charge. Nice people, I tried to tip or buy the mechanic a soda... But he wouldn't take $. read more

These people have been helpful through the years. We drive junk cars until they die. This crew has kept our cars running long after the life expectancy of each vehicle. I highly recommend this business. Fair. Honest. Reasonably priced, as far as car repairs can be. Two thumbs up from The Pate's! read more

Have dealt with them since 1991 ,if you want the best and are willing to pay for the best ,with no problems ,I rate them the best in Lincoln County ,haven't ever had to return my vehicle after having it repaired.If there was a higher rating than a 5 star I'd give it a ten,hands down. read more

Good people, good mechanics. Very knowledgable, they make sure they do it right the first time.

Had a ck battery light come on half-way to the Oregon Coast from Corvallis, summer of '14. Not long after the battery charge dash gauge started to slowly drop, then fast! Turned off everything elec. and limped to Newport. Scoped the main drag- quickly as we were running out of juice- and found a few repair shops, one empty, one with three or four bays with cars. Opted for that. The owner (don't recall his name) said, "let me check." Battery fine, alternator gone on my F150. He said he'd have it done in 90 minutes with a rebuilt (the new was $100 more and two days.) The fam grabbed a taxi to the harbor while the work was done. We'd planned on a beach day, then back to Corvallis for baseball, but all in all, seafood lunch was good, the truck was done on time, and it's been great since. BTW, I called my mechanic back home to ask about the cost of the alternator and labor while at lunch and Ocean Auto came in right on target. When you're on vacation and need it done "as fast as you can" and they do that without gouging you, you get 5 stars. Thanks, Ocean.(I did give him a 20 and said he had to promise to buy his gal flowers on the way home!) read more

Quality service and fair prices. Never tried to bait and switch nor to tell me my car, truck or RV needed something that it did not. I have tried Lea Schwab and Pacific Tire and Break in Newport and got cheated or lied to. That is why I started going to Ocean Tire in the first place 13 years ago. Maybe over all this time the management of the other two places in town have changed, but why take a chance. read more
