    Weights from balancing that fell right off after 1 week.

    I had 3 pretty significant issues with these guys which I will also list below that have to do with pricing mistakes, lying about damaging my brand new wheels, and poor work quality. I want to preface this review by saying they are some hard working guys at this shop and don't seem like bad people, they just seem too overwhelmed to do quality work. Although my experience was negative you might have a better one than mine. 1. Pricing Mistake I called Ali THREE SEPARATE TIMES to confirm the price of my tires which was he said was 1250. I drove an hour and 30 minutes for these and the guy is trying to tell me 1600 while they already got 2 wheels mounted, so naturally I feel like he's trying to play me. After some back and forth we met at 1450 and I can tell he just made a mistake and wasn't just trying to take my money which is fine because he compensated me with some other services. But still, it was extremely frustrating having to debate this. 2. Chipped my brand new wheel, then tried to lie about it They called me over into the shop to show me my chipped wheel, claiming it came like that. This is completely untrue because method wheels come plastic wrapped with extra protection over them and have a major reputation for quality. I can tell they were lying cause both plastic protectors were removed at the time they called me into the shop to see. I didn't feel like arguing because for one I just didn't have the energy and two it was on the bead-lock which will most likely see worse chips with off roading. It was also a pretty minor chip, you really need to look for it to see it. My biggest issue is that they clearly were lying about it instead of just taking accountability. I will admit I don't have any definitive proof of them chipping the wheel so this could be there could be a 1% chance they're telling the truth, but I highly doubt it given the circumstances. 3. The weights used to balance my tires FELL OFF.... Don't need to go much further here, that's ridiculous man come on. I wish the best for these hard working guys and when you get cheap work done you can't expect 5 star quality, but these are some pretty major issues that they tried to just play off like nothing was wrong. Last this one is pretty minor but still frustrating, first thing when one of the shop guys pulls out my wheels from the box he drops my center cap on the floor, scratching it and chipping the paint.

    Owner is a complete joke. Tried to buy a full set of tires. I made an appointment for a certain brand of tires that he said he had. I showed up, he didn't have them. And then proceeded to tell me he was not going to show me a different set of tires. It's worth it to take your business somewhere else.

    Had a flat tire that needed to be replaced quickly. The team replaced it quickly (no wait) and for a fantastic price!

I unfortunately forgot about this strange curb when pulling out, and caused some curb rash on my rims. Due to all the rave reviews, I made an appointment and came to Wheel Guys to get it fixed. Pulling into the lot, I had some trouble finding Wheel Guys because instead of a Wheel Guys sign at the front door, they instead have a sign on their front door promoting Bahal Motors. Fortunately I noticed a van parked nearby with their decal so I decided to walk inside and inquire. Upon pulling in and stepping out of my vehicle, the first thing I noticed was a foul sewer smell coming out of the bay they directed me to park in front of. Turns out they were experiencing a sewer backup that day. Took about 30mins but they restored my rim back to its original condition for $125. While I was impressed by their work, I was NOT impressed by the fact that my car REEKED of sewer smell when I got it back. As the guy walking around in the sewage backup and spraying down the bay was also the guy who stepped into my car to move my vehicle around. I would think it would be common sense if you are stepping in sewage water, that you would either change out your shoes and clothes before stepping into clients' vehicles or have someone else move the cars. Took quite a bit to wash and air out my car afterwards to completely remove the disgusting smell.

A customer for years and I recommend the place to my friends and family. Today I came in without an appointment to have one tire replaced on my car under warranty. It's a work day and I drove in from Oakland so I didn't have loads of time to lose. They were clear when I dropped the car off that, because I'm a walk-in, I'd have to wait 2.5-hrs. More than I wanted to wait but I get it and I agreed to come back in that time. They also have a link that tells you when the car should be done which is also cool. I used that while I was out to sort out when I should head back to grab my car. The app at that link confirmed my car was going to be ready at the same time they told me earlier so I came back to pick it up. Once I arrived, I could tell the car hadn't been touched. They then explained they'd need the car for another 1.5-hrs. Completely ridiculous and a big downer for someone who had always been a loyal customer. I might change this rating someday but hoping this acts as a warning for others who attempt to walk-in to get their car serviced here. You can't rely on their estimated time nor can you rely on the technology they use to keep customers updated on when cars will be finished. Here's hoping they fix their workflow and fancy systems they use to "help" loyal customers.
