    Pretty much the same review from their o.g. shop Best Tire & Wheel. Everything is the damn same except this location is directly behind Best Tire. It's easier to see from Old Town Front Street, whereas BT&W can be seen easily from the 15 freeway. Been a loyal customer here since November 2019 and for good reason. My most recent visit today 9.7.2022 was a quick drop off of Big Bertha's old beat up heart (battery, lol). It was the original one, from 2013 but lasted me almost 10 years. Erik was there to help me as I lugged the heavy ass thing out of my truck. I didn't have it with me on 9.2.2022 when I purchased her new one from Gabe. He was cool about it and said I could bring it in the following week so here I am. Gave me a great deal on the new battery and I was in and out in minutes. Same great service from the same great guys, just operating under a different name. For all of your car care needs, I highly recommend SC Automotive. They work with pretty much all makes and models and are super fast getting parts in if that's all you need. The lobby/waiting area is smaller than BT&W, but you'll still get the best service and pricing! Parking is never a problem, and you can park a few doors down near Aftershock Brewery to grab a cold one if you have to wait a bit. You're welcome! ;)

    Leaking hydroboost after "repair"
    Jane J.

    Terrible service and results. Took our 2006 Suburban to SC Automotive to fix a leak in the oil pan and replace the hydro boost as it was leaking. Oil pan leaked right away after the "repair" and a friend found no threads on one of the screws causing a leak. Took it back and leaked worse after their next "fix". Took it to someone else and got it repaired for real. Now hydroboost is leaking after their "repair" and whole repair is wasted. Have to eat the cost and go elsewhere. Do not use this vendo.

    If you need any work done on your vehicle, come to SC AUTOMOTIVE! They provide wonderful customer service and get the job done right! We came here to get our performance parts installed and alignment done. Frequent service here for all of our vehicles. Can't beat the price! Ask for Gabe!

    Five Stars -- My '69 VW Bus Got New Shoes... and Apparently She's High Maintenance!…read more If you own a vintage Volkswagen, you already know the deal. You don't just drop her off somewhere and say, "Throw some tires on it." Oh no. Owning a nearly 60-year-old VW Bus is a little like dating a very needy girlfriend. She wants the right shoes. They have to fit perfectly. She wants everyone to be gentle with her. And if somebody treats her wrong, you're definitely going to hear about it on the ride home. Thankfully, Dylan and the crew at American Tire understood the assignment. I've been a longtime customer, but bringing in my 1969 Volkswagen Bus required a little more attention than your average tire change. Dylan and his staff took their time making sure we had the correct tire size and proper fitment before doing anything. And believe me--I was probably that guy. "Are you sure they'll fit?" "Can we check that again?" "Please be careful with the wheels." "How are you tightening the lug nuts?" Basically, I was hovering around like an overprotective VW dad while my Bus was getting fitted for a new pair of shoes. But Dylan and his team never made me feel like I was being a pain. They were patient, professional, and understood that when someone brings you a vintage vehicle, it's more than just another car. What really impressed me was the attention to detail. The team hand-tightened each lug nut and took the time to inspect everything around the wheels and tires to make sure everything looked right. No rushing, no impact-gun NASCAR pit stop--just careful, professional work. That kind of attention means a lot when you're trusting someone with a vehicle that's been on the road since 1969. They also gave me a very respectable longtime-customer discount, which was greatly appreciated. It's always nice when a business recognizes the people who continue to come back year after year. Bottom line: Dylan and his staff were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, patient, professional, and treated my vintage VW with exactly the kind of care I was hoping for. So the Bus has officially left American Tire with four new shoes, all the attention she demanded, and absolutely no appreciation for the guy who actually paid the bill. Typical. She's happy. I'm happy. My wallet survived. Five stars for Dylan and the entire American Tire crew. The '69 Bus is back on the road, riding great and looking good. Now excuse me while I take my high-maintenance German girlfriend for a drive through Wine Country. Be Aloha. Drive Vintage.

    So much better than all the other locations in the area…read more I dropped by just to get the air pressure checked because my tire pressure light came on. The associate was really friendly and helpful when he told me that the rear right one was significantly lower than the rest. He recommended that I come in to get it inspected as soon as possible, just in case, since it was going to rain the next day. It was a good thing that I did, too, because there was a giant nail in the tire! They were able to repair it, so it didn't cost me anything other than my time. The wait for walk-ins was only about 1.5 hours, which isn't bad at all considering how last-minute it was. The associate who helped me with it was also super kind and made the entire process extremely easy. Their tire pressure station is also a lot more efficient and organized. There's always someone ready to pump up your tires, while the other location near my house has an insanely long line because there's usually no associate there ready to work the machine. Always a pleasant experience!

    11/17/25 Jose waited on me and did so efficiently. No high pressure even though I know it's getting…read moreclose to having to replace my tires on our 2013 Toyota Corolla. I told him we will replace in the Spring. As always this shop is so impressive. Shops struggling with Customer service complaints, should come sit in this showroom, just for lessons. LOL! Love this location and will be back for tires in a few months. Thanks Jose!
