I went here from San Jose because I saw a student where I teach wearing a super badass hoodie that said Phan's Smog Station. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I wanted one! Well, they didn't have any size small hoodies, but I bought two for family members, and they love them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Oh, and they did my smog check too, and I passed. :-)

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This shop is amazing. I've been coming here for so many years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I lived in the area, moved out of the area and still come back here. Even though I have a Tesla now, they still take care of my tires. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He always tells me straight 'girl your tires are bald!'[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And I said man I need new tires. But, if he can patch it, he'll patch it but if not, he'll let you know your tires is bad and you need some new ones. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Currently back in the area and still come here. Best shop for tires and smog.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Phan's has been a staple in Newark for a long time. Mr. Phan Sr. Has been running this thing like a gem and now his son is taking the wheel. I've been coming here since i was a teen. They always accommodate you with whatever you need on your tires or smogs. Always friendly, respectful and affordable. Thank you for always taking care of your community!

Came here during my lunch break. Stopped in, no appointment, in and out in 10 minutes. Friendly service. What more can you ask for?

Fast, great customer service, and Nate even kept his shop open an extra 15 minutes because I was running late.

Mixed reviews…read more What's the point of the appointment? Normally this shop was good. Friendly of course, however too friendly. Let me explain... What's the point of the appointment?? June 26, 2026 I called earlier this morning to see if I can come in at 5pm for a repair, nail in the tire. After work of course. The guy whom I spoke to, again friendly said he could help for sure but it would be better to make an appointment. I said I don't see the point of making an appointment since their team doesn't get to the people who have appointments on time. Had another experience for an 8am appointment and they didn't get to me for 40 minutes after Intaking people and talking for so long. He said that must have been a one off and they try to get everyone out in under an hour. I said I'll make the appointment but I don't want to wait 1.5 hrs for a repair. It's not fair to me to have to just wait. He makes an appointment at 4pm. 4pm rolls around, I'm there at 4:05pm. Traffic in Fremont is bad at that time. They didn't intake (see me) at my appoint until 4:45......... Then they look at my tires goes and talks to their team who says it'll be ready at 5:45pm. AGAIN!!!!! WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE APPOINTMENT IF YOUR NOT GOING TO HONOR THE APPOINTMENT!!!! Anyways....what their team needs to do is stop allowing customers to stand there looking at each tire on the website deciding which one they want. One guy alone helped a man and his son for 40 minutes!!!!!! What's the point of the appointment?

I had a 50 min lunch break at work today. The low tire pressure signal showed up on my dashboard so…read moreI decided to come to the UC location America's Tire. There was no attendant at the air check station. I waited a few minutes. Then I called (no one picked up) and finally I went inside. I caught the attention of one of the employees and informed him that I was waiting to get air for my tires. He said he would get an attendant and I confirmed that I should go back to my car. I wait in my car and no one shows up. I decide to now go to the Fremont location on Beacon. Normally, there is an attendant to check the air in your tires. I drive there. An employee acknowledges I am there. Another employee says someone will be out. I waited at least 13-15 minutes before I realized--I need to go back to work! All in all--I spent 25 minutes driving around to two different locations. I sat in my car waiting and did not get any air in my tires. I drove back to work with the signal still on my dashboard. Very disappointing experiencing at both locations but especially Union City.

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.

Came here because I was having tire pressure sensor issues. The place that I normally go to isn't…read moreopen on Sundays and I wanted to get this issue fixed, so I came to Ace Tire and Wheel. Upon parking, I was greeted and I told about the issue I was experiencing. Shagan and his crew are wonderful; they took my car in right away and I waited in their lobby. After a few minutes, I was told that one of the sensors was dead and another one was close to dying, so I went ahead and got them replaced. The total for everything wasn't too bad compared to where I was originally planning to go.. a bit less than what the other place was offering, but the service here was great! Didn't need to wait too long for it to be done and my car was ready to go; all in all my visit was only 30 minute I recommend coming to Ace Tire and Wheel. No need to wait super long to get service done, and the staff is really welcoming and friendly! They have my business from here on out! :)

I had a slow leak from a nail, and another well-known shop tried to tell me it was unpatchable and…read morepushed me to buy a whole new tire. I held off since the leak wasn't that bad. My dad recommended Great Mall Tire Outlet because the owner, Frank, used to work at our family's old go-to spot, Pacific Tire. Frank's team fixed the tire quickly and didn't even charge me because it was such a simple job. It's rare to find this kind of honesty and Frank + his team do amazing work. I highly recommend them!

Another exceptional visit to Great Mall Tire Outlet with Frank!!!…read more With my tire pressure light being lit for about a week, I finally made the time to take my car to the gas station I frequently visit. Thankfully I made the visit sooner than later because my tires all measured 10-15 notches as being underinflated by what the recommended levels were. With some help, I was able to add the appropriate air into each tire but came to a road block with the driver side rear tire. Air would not enter, nor would the amount of air measure with the air thingamajig. Naturally, I PANICKED!! I immediately assumed I needed a whole new tire, or worst- an entire set!! I hopped in my car and immediately drove out to see Frank. No lie, this place is a revolving door full of customers. If that doesn't confirm how knowledgeable and trustworthy this business is, I don't know what will. Even on an early morning Tuesday, my arrival was met with an estimated 1.5 hour wait. Come patient and come ready to be 100% satisfied. 5/5 Stars for always being such a big help. I'd be the first to admit that I am absolutely CLUELESS when it comes to cars|tires- I choose to come to Great Mall Tire Outlet because the staff knows that they are doing & they do not take advantage of patrons like myself.
