    Front of store
    Jeff D.

    I come here cause all the other big tire stores always take a lot longer to help since they are busier. I showed up and I guess all the staff went on brake they saw me but no one bothered to let me know what was going on simple heads up to tell me they'll be back soon or something would've been nice. But Nah they ignored me and saw me leave. 10 minutes later I passed by and they were taking cars again. If they would just said something I would have been fine.

    I went to MIDAS ask for tire patch's estimate $40 and waiting time 2 hours. I came here same job for $20 with less than 10 minutes . Great service, highly recommend .

    The tire shop
    M K.

    This is the worst tire shop I've been to. Lying robbers who don't know how to give customer service. I called and asked if he had a used tire for my car and he responded by saying yes and gave me the price for it. I told him I'll be there in 15 minutes and he agreed to it. When I arrived he said that he and his crew will go on a 35 minutes lunch break. So why didn't he tell me before I came there so that I didn't have to wait? He knew what time I would arrive. After 35/40 minutes, when he was done with lunch, the tire technician said he didn't have the tire I needed for my car, even though I gave them my tire information when I called them. The front desk guy went back again and found a used tire that had no thread left and wanted to sell me for $45. I said that it was insulting for him to give that kind of a bad tire for that price. I said let's do 40 and finish the job (since I was in a rush). He didn't accept it even after all the major mistakes he made. These charlatans are the disease in our community. What made me sad is that they're probably Muslim since the front desk had Islamic symbols, even though they acted exactly as the opposite of a Muslim. I should know, since I've studied Islam for decades under scholars. Using the symbols of truth as a manipulative tactic to lure in customers and then mistreating seems like a bad thing to do when you will be questioned on the Day of Judgement.

    Another image of the same tire that Ali lied about repairing at this service center.

    I had an emergency flat tire and called to see if they were available to repair it on Sunday. The man I spoke to named Ali, assured me they were open and able. I showed up within 10 minutes of the call and he said, they were going to lunch and wouldn't be able to take my car until they got back. I asked why he didn't say such on the phone a moment ago, Ali said "you didn't ask." He took my keys and did no paperwork, I called an hour later and picked up the car. Assured that the tire was removed inspected and inflated with no damage to report. I tipped Ali $10 for his trouble and returned to visiting my family with my car. A few hours later I returned to my parked car and replaced the flat tire with my spare tire and saw a huge screw in my tire. Ali was rude, lied, and put my family in danger I would strongly encourage all to stay FAR away from this business and for someone to hold Ali accountable to his poor and dangerous service.

    The picture clearly sais 48min to close. I just wanted to replace my tire and pay for it but the guy didn't want to change my tire.

    Mixed reviews…read more What's the point of the appointment? Normally this shop was good. Friendly of course, however too friendly. Let me explain... What's the point of the appointment?? June 26, 2026 I called earlier this morning to see if I can come in at 5pm for a repair, nail in the tire. After work of course. The guy whom I spoke to, again friendly said he could help for sure but it would be better to make an appointment. I said I don't see the point of making an appointment since their team doesn't get to the people who have appointments on time. Had another experience for an 8am appointment and they didn't get to me for 40 minutes after Intaking people and talking for so long. He said that must have been a one off and they try to get everyone out in under an hour. I said I'll make the appointment but I don't want to wait 1.5 hrs for a repair. It's not fair to me to have to just wait. He makes an appointment at 4pm. 4pm rolls around, I'm there at 4:05pm. Traffic in Fremont is bad at that time. They didn't intake (see me) at my appoint until 4:45......... Then they look at my tires goes and talks to their team who says it'll be ready at 5:45pm. AGAIN!!!!! WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE APPOINTMENT IF YOUR NOT GOING TO HONOR THE APPOINTMENT!!!! Anyways....what their team needs to do is stop allowing customers to stand there looking at each tire on the website deciding which one they want. One guy alone helped a man and his son for 40 minutes!!!!!! What's the point of the appointment?

There was no attendant at the air check station. I waited a few minutes. Then I called (no one picked up) and finally I went inside. I caught the attention of one of the employees and informed him that I was waiting to get air for my tires. He said he would get an attendant and I confirmed that I should go back to my car. I wait in my car and no one shows up. I decide to now go to the Fremont location on Beacon. Normally, there is an attendant to check the air in your tires. I drive there. An employee acknowledges I am there. Another employee says someone will be out. I waited at least 13-15 minutes before I realized--I need to go back to work! All in all--I spent 25 minutes driving around to two different locations. I sat in my car waiting and did not get any air in my tires. I drove back to work with the signal still on my dashboard. Very disappointing experiencing at both locations but especially Union City.

    I've been a Les Schwab (LS) customer for over a decade and my experience has been good overall…read more I've had the following services perform at their store: replacement of flat tire (on Christmas Eve), regular tire rotations and balancing, occasional tire alignment, TPMS (tire pressure sensors) replacement, purchase and install of new tire set, and brake pad replacement. No one is perfect but from my other experiences at other local tire shops/services, LS has earned my trust and loyalty. I recommend you check them out. + 1. transparent about product and pricing information via web and in-store kiosk. 2. offer online appointment scheduling. 3. backup and standby their work; even provide customers' tire reviews in public e.g. - store's kiosk 4. respect customers' time and budget. 5. the value and quality service work is worth the extra cost upfront IMO when you consider lifetime of tire maintenance and time-saved. 6. LS provides a wide-range of car wheel services (i.e. - steering repairs, wheel suspension upgrades, etc (not just new tire installation). - 1. LS is not a discount tire shop so prices may not be lowest. 2. the selection of tires can be limited (not immediately available) if specialty brands are desired. 3. LS shop is usually very busy, so appointment schedule is best (@ Fremont location).

    WORST EXPERIENCE THIS MORNING WITH THE MANAGER! GERRIT…read more The mechanic who was fixing my car and putting my tires on made a mistake which made my car vibrate on the freeway on the way home from Fremont or this location and I live 40 mins away from the mechanics and I was driving fine at speeds lower than 50mph and I was driving through Sunol by the time I got to Pleasanton freeway exit I started to get to 60 and my entire front part of my vehicle started vibrating and I called Les swab and they told me to come back but it was already late closing time and I would not make it and I didn't feel safe driving on the road, I almost lost control of my vehicle I had to drive slow to get home. And I ended up going to Costco and they fixed it and told me that les swab did a terrible job and my tires were at 2 ounces the front ones and Costco said that was really bad and I need to get a refund and they wrote me a letter with their notes on the issues and how Costco fixed it. I trusted the handsome mechanic at Les swab. But today this morning I went and drove to Les swab in Fremont 40 mins from my home to ask my money back politely and I spoke to the manager GERRIT. He basically invalidated what happened to me and told me it's impossible to get into an accident. He is white blue eye grayish man who was completely rude and not understanding the mistake they made and could have gotten me injured and I could have damaged my car more. He refused my request for a refund. And was rude and a made condescending comments. Like I don't know what kind of driver you are a new one or a bad driver to almost get into accident from their mistake. He refused to apologize for taking accountability for the mistake at minimum. Or apologize. He was arrogant and rude and basically just gave me 20 dollars out of the 260 he owe me just make me happy. I just accepted the 20 dollars cause I don't like to fight. But to be honest I would've been happy if he would have apologized for the mistake but he just didn't take accountability for anything And as I left he made rude sarcastic comments like I hope you drive better. Also he said Moving forward I shouldn't come back and get service with them (Les swab) And to go find someone else for my mechanical needs. The manager said this all because I ask for a refund cause they made a mistake on my car and he basically gave me 20 dollars to leave and never come back and I ask politely and he never apologized he just told me what happened was impossible and invalidate my experience and was rude! I don't wish anyone ill. But if you treat anyone like that cause you don't want take accountability that's really on the manager. The mechanic who helped me and made that mistake was really nice. But the manager is a rude disrespectful human being. Thanks for the 20 dollars cause that's not what I deserve and you know I deserve an apology and none of your rude comments about my driving. I was a polite person asking for my refund. Anyways never go here if you want a rude customer experience and terrible work

My car was being towed, and he stayed past closing just to make sure I was taken care of. That alone told me everything I needed to know about how he runs his business. Since that night, I've continued to bring my car back here because the service is always on point. Shagan is honest, highly skilled, and actually cares about doing the job right instead of just rushing you out the door. His shop is very clean and organized, which says a lot about his standards. There's also a coffee shop right next door, so it's convenient if you're waiting, and the location is perfect for anyone in the Fremont or Union City area. What really sets him apart is that he stands behind his work. If something isn't right or needs adjusting and it was his mistake, he fixes it at no extra cost. That kind of integrity is rare these days. Great prices, great work, great service. I highly recommend Ace Tires & Wheel. 10/10.

However, I could visibly see that the tires were slanted. Later, I went to another shop and was told the front alignment was off, making the car unsafe to drive. I'm frustrated that Ace Tire didn't point this out or address it. It felt like they were only focused on replacing the tires and making money rather than making sure the vehicle was safe. I left thinking everything was fine when it clearly wasn't. Because of this, I don't feel confident in their service and won't be returning or recommending this shop to anyone.

    Another exceptional visit to Great Mall Tire Outlet with Frank!!!…read more With my tire pressure light being lit for about a week, I finally made the time to take my car to the gas station I frequently visit. Thankfully I made the visit sooner than later because my tires all measured 10-15 notches as being underinflated by what the recommended levels were. With some help, I was able to add the appropriate air into each tire but came to a road block with the driver side rear tire. Air would not enter, nor would the amount of air measure with the air thingamajig. Naturally, I PANICKED!! I immediately assumed I needed a whole new tire, or worst- an entire set!! I hopped in my car and immediately drove out to see Frank. No lie, this place is a revolving door full of customers. If that doesn't confirm how knowledgeable and trustworthy this business is, I don't know what will. Even on an early morning Tuesday, my arrival was met with an estimated 1.5 hour wait. Come patient and come ready to be 100% satisfied. 5/5 Stars for always being such a big help. I'd be the first to admit that I am absolutely CLUELESS when it comes to cars|tires- I choose to come to Great Mall Tire Outlet because the staff knows that they are doing & they do not take advantage of patrons like myself.
