    Receipt for the additional charges
    Sunny D.

    Currently Back at Tonys Repair Shop due to a failed smog test. Called and let them know my car failed. They told me it was due to my check engine light showing a different code that they repaired. But my car initially smoked during the smog test got it retested and had failed again. Called and told them I had this problem and they said to come tomorrow and I gave them a time frame. Its 9am and now they are saying they arent able to look at my car until Noon. I find that an inconvenience because they could have let me know that before I drove to the spot at 9 am. Then I recieved some sort of analogy based on why I had to wait and it was like a dentist. It seemed like my car was not thoroughly diagnosed for a full smog check pass and they just looked at the code and assumed that was what was wrong with the car. I wouldnt be making this review right now if I recieved a bit more professionalism regarding the time frame and then to be told by the mechanic I brought in different paperwork last time and thats the reason for his miss diagnosis rather then telling me he is going to fix the issue and find out whats wrong was a very rude and not true because its the same exact paper work I brought in initially. I will be updating my review throughout this process but for now Tonys Repair Shop has been a let down. Update: Same Day- Much better experience after getting my car re-diagnosed. Was told that my car needed an oil change and some additives because the old oil was improper and caused the car to smoke. I really appreciated the fact they got my car back to me before noon when initially I was told thats when they would look at it so cheers to them for working diligently. Car is now SMOG certified and have no complaints.

    Very clean and professional environment

    I am a long time automotive professional. I am extremely picky about my cars and I'm overly…read moreprotective of my family and their vehicles. I'm writing this review due to a specific encounter I had with Jared and Ohana at the Millbrae location. My uncle had purchased 4 wheels and tires From them a few months ago. Shortly after that he got a nail in his tire and had it dealt with elsewhere. Somehow one of the required hub centering rings got misplaced and he started having highway vibrations. He ended up going to another shop to deal with the vibrations they charged him a small fortune to rotate , balance and align the vehicle. During all of the "work" this other shop did. They removed the other 3 centering rings and never bothered to install them. Instead they half ass centered the wheels and over torqued the crap out of all the lug nuts to compensate for their stupidity. My uncle is a very kind and patient man and after paying to "fix" his vibration and having it vibrate and shake even worse afterwards. Instead of going back to raise a fuss. He asked me to inspect the vehicle. I immediately found 4 missing center rings and one wheel destroyed by being forced on crooked due to missing centering rings. At this point I was livid. I called the "shop" that took his money , lost his rings and ruined a wheel. They asked me to hold for 23 minutes then told me. "The tech is pretty sure he installed the rings. But he's not sure they'll still be there ...." Ok that's the stupidest thing I've ever really heard. Realizing that they were a dead end. I instead called America's Tire and got Jared. Jared listened to me kind of frustratedly explain that I needed a new wheel and 4 rings. He was kind , knowledgeable and efficient. He put me on hold for like 3 minutes confirmed he had the rings and a new wheel and he facilitated my being able to pick em up on my lunch break. On my lunch break I met Ohana who was also kind , knowledgeable and professional. She helped me get my parts and skidaddle in a very efficient way. Given that the so called "shop" that caused all the mess is the Firestone across the street from them. I'll say this. America's Tire is leaps and bounds better and more human and knowledgeable than the folks across the street. They took the time to help me fix the issue and they actually cared. I've admonished my uncle to steer clear of Firestone and to only go to Americas tire as a result of these two distinctly different interactions. Jared. Ohana. Thanks for keeping it real and thanks for helping me take care of my family. Good on you !!

The same service woman who had helped me initially looked dumbfounded and said she will tell a technician to get right on it. It took another 45 minutes to get it done. I still tipped the technician but a lot of my time was wasted. Despite being free, I'd rather pay a local tire guy $35 to get it done in 15-20 minutes. On top of that, the repaired tire was overinflated. WTH. Never again. Waste of my time.

    Disappointing Experience - Poor Customer Service and Lack of Professionalism…read more I brought my 2022 BMW 5 Series to Moe's Tires to have a single nail removed from one of my tires and to get the tire patched. What should have been a simple tire repair turned into a very disappointing experience. After inspecting my vehicle, an employee began pointing out additional issues and strongly insisted that I should have further repairs done, suggesting that leaving without addressing them would not be a good idea. I felt uncomfortable with the way these additional services were being pushed on me. It seemed as though the employee assumed I would be willing to spend more money simply because I was driving a BMW. When I politely declined the additional services and explained that I wanted some time to consider my options, the employee's attitude changed noticeably. The customer service became cold and unfriendly. What concerned me the most was what happened when I went to pick up my vehicle. After being told that my car was ready, I discovered that the tire pressure was still significantly low. The tire had not even been properly inflated before the vehicle was returned to me. As a customer, I expect a tire shop to prioritize safety, professionalism, and honest communication rather than making customers feel pressured into purchasing additional services. Based on my personal experience, I was not satisfied with the quality of service or the way I was treated. If you care about your vehicle and your safety, I strongly recommend being cautious when considering this shop. I wanted to share my experience so that other customers can make an informed decision before bringing their vehicles here.

I brought my 2016 BMW X6 in after dealing with issues that another shop couldn't properly resolve. Po helped me with my wheels, wheel alignment, and TPMS without any unnecessary upselling or games. He took the time to explain what was actually going on, what my options were, and why certain things should or shouldn't be done. That isn't being rude or talking over customers. That's someone with experience making sure the job is done correctly and protecting both the customer and his business. Reading through some of the negative reviews, I noticed a pattern. Many complaints seem to come from people who either didn't read the fine print on promotions like Groupon or walked in without doing any research on what they actually wanted. If you're unsure, call the shop. I called Po multiple times before coming in, and he answered my questions every time. One thing I respect is that Po won't blindly do work just because a customer asks. If something doesn't make sense or could cause problems, he'll explain why. That's exactly the kind of shop I want working on my car. A good technician doesn't just say "yes" to everything. They educate you and make sure expectations are clear before the work begins. My experience was straightforward, honest, and professional from start to finish. In fact, I'm already planning to bring my BMW back for additional work, including body kit installation and other upgrades. If you're looking for someone who knows what he's doing, values honesty over sales tactics, and takes pride in doing the job correctly, I highly recommend Po and his shop.

They're efficient, reliable, transparent and I have never had any issues with any work performed on any of the vehicles I have brought in. If for whatever reason they're not able to address or fix the problem, they will be completely honest and will even refer you to another trusted shop they're familiar with that could potentially fix it. They also have a price match guarantee on all their tires which is a plus! I stopped by late in the afternoon yesterday before closing time to order some tires for the next day as I knew they wouldn't have what I needed in stock. Kevin said they'd be in first thing in the morning so I placed my order and left. Forward to today, I dropped my car off at 11am for all new tires and even an oil change I needed. They said to give them a few hours as they were a little backed up, but that was expected because they're always busy plus it's a Friday. I decided to walk home to get my steps in and by the time I made the 45min walk home, Gerald (one of the shop owners) gave me a call and said everything was done already. Their prices are competitive and very reasonable with other shops, but what has me coming back time after time is that it's a local family business and as I mentioned before, they're very honest and take pride in the work they perform.
