This review is for the Big O Tires at 2201 Washington Ave in San Leandr., near Old San Leandro --…read morenot the other Big O location farther south on Washington Ave. My husband brought our vehicle in for service, and while the staff was relatively nice, they were not very helpful. I can see how some of the other reviews mentioning staff attitudes may be accurate based on several visits to this shop, though that was not the main issue during this most recent visit. The larger issue was the service itself. With an appointment, it still took about **three hours** for an oil change, tire rotation, balancing, and related basic service. We also paid to have the coolant system checked/pressure-tested because there was a leak, but they did not find it. My husband later found the leak himself within about five minutes, which was frustrating and made us question how thorough the inspection was. There are also concerns about the oil change. I cannot say for certain, so I will not state it as fact, but the oil filter looked questionable afterward, with fresh oil drips and an overall appearance that made us wonder whether it had actually been replaced. At this point, this has become a safety concern for us, and that is a deal breaker, and thus overpriced/not a good value. The staff may be adequate, but we do not feel confident in the quality or thoroughness of the work. We will not be returning. 2 stars and on Google for at least they weren't rude to him.

I wanted to make sure I followed up because I know my review will mean something for this business. I brought my classic Toyota Land Cruiser to Nayarit Transmission in East Oakland for a transmission fluid change. From the start, I felt at ease. Yes, there's a security dog on-site, but the way the owner treats him says everything!he's clearly part of the family, not just for show. As someone who loves dogs, I really respected that. The owner walked me through the whole process, explained why a higher-quality filter gasket was worth it (and he was right the one I had wasn't great), and even saved the old fluid to show the work was done right. He got the job done faster than I expected and at a more-than-fair price. This shop is built on honesty, hard work, and family values. In today's world, that's rare. I highly recommend Nayarit Transmission if you want quality work and someone you can truly trust with your car.
