    Spike strip quill.

    On Sunday, August 3, 2025, I visited Wheel Works after picking up a flat from a spike strip quill (see my review of Bill's Towing for context, and another five-star review). Josh, who works both the front desk and in the shop, greeted me and quickly provided a quote for a replacement tire. I dropped off the damaged tire and let him know I'd be back after getting my wife and kids checked into the hotel. While I was heading back to the shop, Josh called to let me know they weren't able to locate the exact tire he quoted; it's an uncommon size, but he could order one for next-day delivery. I was only a few minutes away, so I told him I'd be there shortly to talk it through. When I arrived, Josh met me in the parking lot. Although I could have left the tire overnight, our schedule for the next day wouldn't allow time to wait for the delivery and installation. I asked whether the puncture could be plugged so I could use the tire as a spare in the meantime. Josh consulted with Eddy and another employee; likely the manager, who explained that driving on the flat had caused sidewall and belt damage, making the tire unsafe to repair or reuse. In the end, they weren't able to fix the tire, but not for lack of effort. They took the time to assess it thoroughly, walk me through the options, and explain the risks. I appreciated their honesty, professionalism, and customer service throughout the visit. If I lived locally, Wheel Works would absolutely be my go-to tire shop. Many thanks to Josh, Eddy, and the rest of the team!

    Review for Wheel Works - Technician: Eddy I just wanted to take a moment to give a huge shoutout to Eddy at Wheel Works for the outstanding job he did on my younger brother's 2001 Honda Prelude. From the moment we brought the car in, Eddy's professionalism and attention to detail stood out. What really impressed us was how Eddy went above and beyond when he noticed that the car had different tires in the rear. Most techs would've thrown their hands up or recommended we replace them right then and there, but Eddy took the time to assess the situation carefully. He explained everything clearly, made the necessary adjustments, and still managed to get the alignment just right. The car now drives smoother than it has in a long time! It's not every day you come across a technician who cares enough to find solutions rather than just point out problems. Eddy showed real expertise, patience, and pride in his work. My brother and I both left feeling confident and grateful -- the Prelude is in much better shape thanks to him. Highly recommend Wheel Works, and if you get the chance to work with Eddy, you're in great hands!

    This is the wire loom that these guys smashed while doing an alignment. Took 6 weeks for them to get it fixed

    I made an appointment for 2 new tires. After 7 + hours the job was complete, however every warning light the car has on the dash was illuminated. I pointed this problem out before leaving, and an employee came over and did a quick "computer reset". He then said you will have to drive it for 15 miles before each sensor will reset and the lights will go out. After about 85 miles I returned because the lights were all still on. The employee who did the initial "reset" told me that He never told me the lights would reset. So this employee is either a liar or stupid, because why would I leave with all warning lights illuminated. Long story short, after 4 weeks their claims dept paid for a diagnostic test, where it was discovered that the "mechanic" who did my alignment, severed a whir harness , which caused the system failure. That story is to say, wheel works takes forever, even though appointments are made, employees are rude and either lie or are dumb, "mechanics" occasionally break cars and deny any wrong doing, and just to get back to zero with your broken car takes a month. There are lots of other good tire shops in Petaluma, don't waste your time here.

    Surprise! Time to go to Wheel Works!

    Simply put, their honesty and integrity saved us several thousand dollars on a transmission…read morereplacement for a truck we have only owned for a couple of months. Our son's Ram 2500 diesel was having transmission problems and we took it to Empire Automotive on a Thursday for diagnostics. Chris called me the next morning to let me know the transmission was in fact toast and would need replacement. However, he had good news for us. He saw a warranty sticker on the transmission and called the company and found out the transmission was still under warranty. The transmission company sent out a replacement transmission free of charge and helped cover the cost of the installation. Chris installed the new transmission and made sure it was all dialed in by the following Wednesday. I was only charged for the diagnostic and installation of the transmission, which was very reasonably priced and I will get reimbursed for a big chunk of it from the transmission company to boot. I appreciate their honesty and integrity with their customers, and I never felt like they were trying to pad their profits. Just good folks looking out for their customers. They could have just as easily ignored the sticker, like I'm sure occurs more than we know at other garages, and charged us for a transmission as well, since we had no idea the transmission had a warranty when we bought it. They have certainly won my trust and I will not hesitate to take my vehicles there going forward. The entire staff is friendly, honest, and knowledgeable and their turn around time was much quicker than expected. Based on my experience, I absolutely recommend them to anybody!

    Had my first experience today with Empire after reading so many glowing reviews, and I can…read morecertainly see why they get the praise they do! Everyone there couldn't have been more awesome! I am super particular when it comes to my vehicles (make that "obsessive") and always want the best for them when it comes to service and how they are cared for. Empire was very accommodating with my desire to use my preferred fluids of choice (Amsoil) and provide them myself. Chris was also very helpful in getting my vehicle in and out in a timely manner and it was ready right when he said it would be. Everyone in their office was so nice and pleasant to deal with (particularly Gabby) and I had such a good feeling with the entire experience even as a first time customer. I felt like my car was in very good hands and I will absolutely be coming back as a repeat customer in the future. The pricing was also incredibly reasonable for what I had done! I'm very fortunate that their shop is within about a 2 minute walk of my house, so it makes a great thing even better when you feel you have an honest and dependable "neighborhood" mechanic. I can see why they have so many great reviews and I happy to be yet another who is adding one to the collective. Highly recommend!
