Great place with great service... Bill's a really good guy, even though sometimes he can be a little bit like Cliffy from Cheers. : ) But I could listen to him for days... He explains things in wonderful detail, likely because he cares about how things work and how they would work better. He's a busy guy with a busy business that never rushes their work. It's always the very best. read more

I love this place, Bill and his team are so friendly and knowledgeable. They are honest, dependable and fast. Bill takes the time to explain everything to you, the why's and the how's, he really cares and wants you to understand and be educated before making decisions. I trust him, and I appreciate how accommodating they are, even when they are swamped, if you have an emergency, he will get you in. The best in my opinion, been coming for years with many cars, never an issue always a great experience. read more

Great experience with Seaview Tire & Brake in Pacifica. Bill a team, replaced my travel trailer tires and serviced the wheel bearings (inspection, repack, and new seals). Everything was done professionally and gave me real confidence in the work. They were also very accommodating by making room for me to leave the trailer on-site, which made logistics much easier. Honest, capable, and easy to work with--would definitely recommend. read more

I had a tire emergency today. One of my tires was falling apart and I need my vehicle for delivery work. Plus, I needed the cheapest tire I could get. Bill didn't have a cheap tire in stock, but he called around and had one delivered. Within 4 hours I had a new tire installed that I could afford. Thank you, Bill. read more

Seaview used yo be my go to, they have serviced my car and van on tires, alignment, and suspension repair, always providing great service. Unfortunately, I've been calling for months on a price to have the front end done on my van, each time they said they were really busy and would call back, 5 calls in over several months, same answer, no call back. Today, walked into the shop to see what is going and after a long wait in the lobby with no one there, spoke with Bill himself, he remembered, said he had my contact info and would get back to me, that they ae backed up, I told him I've already been waiting a few months and have a trip panned next month, he just shrugged and said he is booked a a couple of months out. Sadly, you are clearly better off taking your business elsewhere as this one is no longer being run correctly. read more

Bill was so helpful and kind, they fixed my tire so fast and was very thorough. He had great customer service and I will be a returning customer because of it! read more

Mr. Najib and team, was very professional and provided service (oil change and tire rotor replacement) as committed in timely manner before we drove for long drive. I highly recommend their services if you are in town or live nearby. read more

A comprehensive service provider that I have used for over 25 years. Bill and his family have consistently demonstrated a commitment to excellence and customer support. He upholds high standards of quality and integrity, emphasizing safety and reliability in all his work. I appreciate his dedication to thoroughness and refusal to compromise safety for cost savings. His long-standing success is a testament to his consistent commitment to doing the job correctly and professionally. read more

We were traveling, and they did an excellent job helping us in a bind! They were great!

Excellent service. Should have gone local. If you aren't local, come here anyway. Honest, and they care about your safety and the community.

Bill at Seaview Tire is the most honest and trustworthy person I know. If you need something, he'll tell you what you need. You can work with him on price and he'll do what he can to bring the costs down if it's possible. I hit a curb pretty hard making a turn. A piece of the outer part of the tire came up but it didn't flatten the tire. He said he could check to be sure it was just the outer part of the tire, and if it was, I wouldn't need a new one. He checked and let me know that everything was good and I wouldn't need to buy a new tire, which saved me a lot of money. I've had other great experiences going to Seaview. And if you have a question, he'll make sure you understand everything completely before you move on. Go local with someone you can trust. Go Seaview! read more

I've had my cars serviced at Seaview a couple times & always left impressed with the service. Bill, owner?, is thorough with explaining all the issues found and gives plenty of options to fix. Most recently, his team found a tire issue that I had to resolve with a car dealership. Without the help of Seaview, I might be still driving with a defective set of tires! Highly recommend & support local! read more

Got a nail on my rear tire. I went to another place, " fixed it" spent money just to find out my tire was flat again. Came to Seaview Tire & Break center, a completely different experience. Bill took the time to explain everything that I needed to know with great detail and even though my tire was not repairable. They were able to order the type of tires I currently have, later in afternoon and I got them replaced early in the morning the next day. An outstanding customer service. Happy to make business with them. Professional, and friendly. read more

Seaview Tire & Brake Center - Nail head on the tire - Tires Near Me - Pacifica, California

See all

(Finishing up a draft from a while ago.) Dude was mansplaining to me. As if I didn't know the first thing about my high-performance car and tires. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I'm clueless. He quoted me a price for tires that was $300 more than my mechanic in SSF ended up charging me for the same tires. He was also taking his mask off in the shop and the door was closed. Did not feel COVID-safe. read more

Gotta say, I've used Seaview Brake and Tire for at least 20 years, as my partner who grew up in Pacifica always steered me Bill's way, BUT I'm bummed that I won't be using this shop that is conveniently close to home (can take the pup for a walk after dropping the vehicles off) and always seemed knowledgable and fair. I dropped a 2006 work truck off, as it was making the telltale scraping sound of having worn brake pads and Bill asked if he could keep it for a bit - I said yes - assuming that he had a full docket - not using it as my primary vehicle. And then I gave him a deposit for the estimate - which I must say, I don't remember doing before, but you know, didn't really think about it. He didn't call with an estimate for over a week - put off calling when I did call to inquire, and when i finally stopped by to see what was up with the truck, he quoted a VERY high number and then explained to the naive female that the brakes and rotors and all were rusted and in bad shape. I wish I'd asked if I could have new paint with that! So, I said I'd be back to pick up the truck - that had been there for 17 days. We replaced the brake pads for $52 and will live without the unnescessary work. I forgot that I'd put down a deposit for truck storage. Not fun to have played the mechanic's assistant to a commercial fisherman for 20 plus years to yet again feel like a gullible woman! read more

I don't usually write my Yelp reviews right after I walk out of a business, but this time it was called for: Bill and his team at Seaview Tire are absolutely terrific! I came in with what ended up being a screw in my tire, and the level of professionalism these fellows showed was phenomenal. As nice as can be, excellent work, extremely reasonable wait, and the technician explained exactly what had happened and what he did to repair the tire -- and the price was right. I feel bad -- in the past I had been going to the other major place in town, because it was closer to where I live...but now I realize it is well worth driving a bit further to get this kind of great service. Oh, and -- walking into this place ... lots of space, and nice and calm! A big difference from the other guys' cramped quarters. read more

It is not often at the vanguard of our consciences but each time you take your car in for servicing, you have a natural expectation that the person(s) you entrust your vehicle to has a level of integrity, and will use their expertise to resolve Such is not the case with Seaview Tire in Pacifica. Several months ago I purchased three new tires from Bill, the owner of this establishment. I was told that it came with free tire rotation every 5,000 miles. So when that time came, I scheduled an appointment for my free tire rotation. Yea, free my a$$. As I was waiting in the waiting area, he proudly rolled one of my tires in to show me that I had a nail in it. As someone schooled in forensic science and criminal justice, it took all but a cursory glance to notice that the nail head carried no wear on it from driving - it looked freshly planted. His assistant came in with a big smile on his face letting me know that my car was ready and that I just had to pay for the nail patch. Shame and me for not asking up front what the cost would be to repair a nail patch (that wasn't there before.) Bill, the owner, presented me with a bill of $57.50. I knew something was off, he couldn't even look me in the eye. I was burning with fury but had to hold it back. As a black woman living in a racist society like the US, any outburst on my part would label me "an angry black woman" could, and would probably land me in jail... which would cause me to declare World War III on the US but I digress. I have been spreading the word - inevitably telling everyone to avoid this place. Two days ago, someone reminded me not to fret over the $57.50 that he 'stole' from me but rather look at it as payment to receive good karma, which would only mean that Bill and his assistant would be at the receiving end of some extremely bad karma. When you do bad things to people you enslave yourself in the evil that you disperse to others. And even as I type this, I issue a wry smile at what's to come. To Bill and his assistant at Seaview Tires, your machinations have tallied to your pending end. read more

One of my tires was completely flat due to a huge bolt on a late afternoon on a Saturday. I immediately looked up open tire shops, and thankfully Seaview was still open. They put my spare tire on and ordered a new tire for me. I don't know how their price compares, but I assume I paid more for the convenience. Either way, I was more than happy to support a small business with friendly workers. read more

I needed to patch a brand new 2023 bmw x5 rear tire after driving over a nail and was fortunate to be referred to Seaview who has the equipment and expertise to help. If you have any tire needs, feel confident that they can help you. Great family run business and def top of my list for any tire needs. read more

My valve stem on the wheel cracked and air was leaking out from the crack. I called them, and they quoted $42 to fix that. I brought the car to them. He opened the tire up and said the inside is very messy. So he refused to repair this tire. I explained to him that I drove this flat tire for about one mile before I discovered that the tire is flat. He refused to repair the valve stem. He wants me to buy a brand new tire. Then I said fix my spare tire. It has a hole somewhre. Just patch up the hole. He found the hole with soap water. And he quoted me $45 to fix the hole. Then he took apart the spare tire. Then once again he said he is not willing to repair the spare tire. He said somebody else has patched up another hole before on that tire. So he refuses to patch it up again. He wants me to buy a brand new tire. At the end, he took apart 2 tires and refuse to put them back together unless I buy a brand new tire. So I did buy a brand new tire. Whole thing costed me $137 instead of $45. So before you take your tire to this shop hoping for a patch of a small hole or replace just the stem valve and spend small amount of money, I bet you that he will refuse to repair it for you once he took apart the tire and will demand you to buy a brand new tire. read more

Bill and his staff do an excellent job! They're friendly and thorough. When you get tires there they check them monthly. It's also great to support a local, small business. I definitely recommend! read more

Great service. Glad I can trust fellow Yelpers for anything even for tire service. I had an unfortunate day getting huge nail in my wheel and uber'ed or drove around with a spare tire on my car for a couple days. I looked around first for quotes on tires and tire replacements and Seaview looked trustworthy. I gave a call to get a quote and decided the next day Seaview would be the best option. Their pricing is significantly lower than the dealership. I called on Friday and Billy put in the order for my tire to be delivered the next day. Billy squeezed me in on a Saturday afternoon even though they close at 4pm. They had my tire replaced within 30 minutes. What a lifesaver! PS: take a walk to the beach right next to the shop, or visit the shops in the shopping plaza. Mazetti's is near too. read more

A place you can trust for quality tire replacement , alignment, tire maintenance, and overall education over all of the above. Can only assume their break services equally as good but I have only experience with tires. these guys are friendly, trustworthy, and their prices are competitive. I am someone who has been burned one too many times from less than trustworthy repair shops or auto shops, and I am thankful and relieved to have found Seaview. not only did I receive high-quality service and affordably so, but Bill took the time to educate me on various factors around tire maintenance and installation so that I can get the true value out of my new tires. also I appreciate how he worked with me on best quality tire In my price range and explained to me why .... he didn't just try to sell me an overly expensive or unnecessarily cheaply made tire. Will return, definitely recommend! read more

Wonderful family owned business. The owner Bill was extremely helpful and went out of his way to help me. I Had a great experience and will always go to them for my services from now on. read more

This is the best tire shop I've been to. They're friendly, honest, have fair prices and give you free tire rotations when you purchase tires from them! They are always fully booked (which speaks to their quality of service) but they'll squeeze you in if you have an emergency (as I did when I had a nail in my tire). I love the tires I bought there for my Subaru, they're great for snowy drives when we head up to the family cabin. Bill will take the time to find the right tire for you and your driving conditions. I love supporting local, family-owned businesses and Seaview goes way above and beyond what the chain tire stores in the area offer. read more

While I'm unable to comment on the quality of the work, I'll comment on the poor level of customer service. I selected this auto shop based on a referral and, while it was far outside my neighborhood, I decided to take my car there because I believe in local businesses. My front tires were making noise and I told them it was probably related to the brakes. I communicated the issue was in the front tires and asked them to look at those tires and provide a quote. The man at the front desk asked me to leave the car for a few hours, which I thought odd considering I had received preliminary quotes/diagnosis from other shops after visual inspection. Regardless, I left my car figuring they were just busy at the moment. They called me a few hours later with a quote 3-4 times higher than other places. And only then did they disclose that they would charge me an $85 inspection fee if I didn't have them do the work. The inspection fee covered that labor for taking apart front and rear tires (something for which I had provided no authorization - I had not asked them to look at the rear tires). To be clear, I respect that the thorough inspection would require a fee. However, the conflict is they were not transparent up front about what the work they intended to do and that a fee would be charged. Had I known there would have been an $85 fee, I would not have proceeded with the inspection. I provided no authorization for them to actually take apart anything (nor did they ask for my authorization). They maintained it was my fault because I didn't ask what the fee was for inspection. While it was presumptuous of me to assume inspections are free, as the service provider, they are responsible for a basic level of customer service, and that is to clearly communicate up front the intended work and potential costs associated. I declined to have them replace my brakes. However, they would not give me my car back unless I paid them, so I had them split the cost. read more

We have taken our cars and my work van to Bill for tires and other service and have always been very happy with the quality of attention, work, and knowledge that he and his team bring to our needs. Also, the times that I have compared price while planning a repair or new tires, Bill has been the best choice as well. Highly recommended. read more

Bill and his team are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and always go over and beyond to accommodate us. Bill always explains everything in detail and isn't just put to make a sale. He wants you to understand the problem and take the time to do so. His prices may be a little higher but that's because he carries top of the line tires. He is always willing to research other options if he doesn't have something within your budget. read more

DISHONEST - they took advantage of my family member - charged almost 3x what it should have cost for routine repair. AVOID

I gotta say, I am pretty patient and understanding. But I had my front suspension replaced almost a year ago, and immediately noticed the right front sagging about 3" lower than the right. I was told this, and the funky noise, would correct itself, and isn't noticeable, respectively. I went back about 2 or 3 times in the next few weeks as the problems persisted and was always given the runaround. Eventually the noise did go away, and so I suppose I settled. However, I just noticed that my right front tire is completely worn, while the others are all fine. Took it to Sears and was told that the alignment was very off and didn't appear to have been done right. Well, I'll never bring another vehicle to Seaview, that's for certain. read more

I went here for its good reputation and positive yelp reviews. I have been walking by this place for years and finally took an opportunity to try them and asked for a quote for 2 new tires. It was $470.00. I thought it high since i just bought a new identical one for $188 at another place. After a bit he said come back at 9 tomorrow and the tires will be here. OK. 2-3 hours later I called to cancel mY appt as i found a place nearby to do the same job same tires for a better price more than 100 less. He said what ? I ordered them already and its been processed. Note he didn't ask me for any upfront fee or down payment so i suggested he cancel the order since its only noonish maybe you can cancel, return or refuse them. He said '3x at least he'll have a restocking fee while never asking me to pay it. He was like a paternal condescending ass while telling me how hard he worked for me - as if i owed him! I suggested its the cost of doing business and was at a loss for any words but im sorry. He then hung up the phone on me without a word of goodbye. Not such a 'nice' guy in the neighbourhood if you ask me. read more

Found a screw in my tire and didn't want to wait, so I gave ST&BC a call. Bill got me in within the hour and fixed the tire faster than promised. Great service ... thanks! read more

Found a screw in my tire while driving through town. Found Seaview randomly on Google near me and so very glad I did. They were very busy but fit me without hesitation or asking. which saved me from a very stressful situation and also saved my afternoon. I was in and out in an hour and didn't mind the hour since they when they are 1/2 block from the beach. The personnel were very friendly and informative regarding what to expect when getting a tire fixed in the future. Also very affordable price for a tire patch/plug. read more

I really wanted to like this place, and they are absolutely capable of doing good work...the only problem is when they screw up, they just dodge, fast talk, and ignore. I brought in my E350 Powerstroke that had a little too much play in the steering. Bill (the owner) charged me over $2500 to rebuild the steering box and tighten things up. When I got it back, the play was 100% gone, but...the steering was so tight it took two hands to steer, like it had no power steering. It also would not straighten out when turning without using some force. I called Bill and asked what was going on, he said, "give it some time, it will loosen up" I gave it two weeks, and it did not loosen up, it got worse and started making grinding noises and dangerously binding up while driving. I brought it back to Seaview tire, spoke to Bill, who would only cut me off repeating "not us, nothing we did could do that" After that I brought it to a ford dealership mechanic who explained that he likely impacted the upper steering bearings while working on the steering box, and that the steering should NEVER be hard to turn or bind in any circumstance. "You should be able to turn the wheel with two fingers" Again, I went back to Seaview to talk to Bill, he said "not us, just a coincidence it went out while we had it" He offered to look at it after repeatedly saying it had nothing to do with his work. I asked when I could bring it in, he said I'll call you in a few minutes...never did. Called back, " I'll call you in an hour" never did. Finally I got pissed and demanded he deal with this, and he denied ever talking to me about the problem. Now maybe he has memory issues, but still, he just kept beating around the bush, "call me tomorrow I'll make you an appointment"...etc, etc So, nothing left to do but leave a bad review, file a report with the Bureau of Automotive Repair, and find a more honest mechanic. read more

Undoubtedly the best shop in NorCal. 6 star customer service with their handy work equivalent. Besides having the beach as a (perfect) waiting room, this shop has all the timey feels of what an auto/tire shop should have. Also I love the smell of new tires. 200% would recommend. I came from San Jose and live in Sacramento and would do it again. read more

I found two screws in my front tire right after getting off work so I immediately called Seaview tire to see if I had to take an Uber home or drive on my spare. To my surprise they said they'd take a look that night. Since one of the screws was outside the crown, the only safe option was to get a new pair. I had always heard Seaview was expensive, but honestly I wouldnt have paid less for the tires I picked anywhere else. Maybe Costco would have been a tiny bit less, but good luck getting good service. On top of all that, they stayed past closing to get me back on the road. Quality service, quality products, knowledgeable staff, and best of all, fair prices. read more

I hate bringing my car to anyone and hope that I don't go to a bad spot and have some chucklehead screw up my car, this place is NOT that.. they r top notch and really care about what they do and take care of car. Go see them for tires!!!! read more

Drove into RV park down the road and noticed one of our trailer tires had started to shred. We were able to tow it over to Seaview and Bill and his boys stopped everything to get us fixed up and running safely. They were super friendly and helpful. If we lived here or even in driving vicinity, they would definitely be our tire and brake guys! read more

Gosh, I really wanted to like these people. They are close to my house, the owner's sons is into horses, very very nice, but I have a feeling I've been asked to do way more to my truck than was needed. I received a second opinion on an estimate done by Seaview and was told the extensive work wasn't needed. :/ The jury is still out on this one. As far as quality of work, I was very happy with the brake job that was done on my truck. I haul a horse trailer so my brakes are definitely given some tough use. Nice thing about getting your brakes done here is that you have a lifetime of free tire rotations. I've also brought a punctured tire which they repaired for fairly cheap. Nice shop workers as well. read more

Bill was super helpful in suggesting and researching tires for my Mazda protege 5. He called me within a day of when he said he would. No problem there. They were done with my car well before I arrived but said they would stay late if I couldn't get there by closing time. Since the bus runs once an hour from the train station, I was grateful for the offer but happy for them that I didn't need to take them up on it. I was concerned about the alignment a few days after the tires and alignment were done. They took me on Saturday morning and were done with the car an hour after they opened even though I said I needed the car in three hours. My only concern is that if Bill doesn't answer the phone, the other guys in the shop may not be able to comfortably confirm an appointment for you. Apart from that, it's really nice to have a local, customer service oriented place within walking distance from my home. Thanks Seaview! read more
