My steering wheel all messed up
Franco M.

Long story, short I took my car for a suspension inspection and alignment. These guys are so unprofessional . They don't have no experience and they don't care to help you out or try to figure out the issue they caused in the first place. Dropped off my car and when I came back for my car, they had messed up the whole alignment. My tires were rubbing and steering wheel was so off that made my traction and ABS light came on and they also forgot to tight my suspension arm nut ... I just never experienced something like this. I don't recommend coming to this shop.

Puncture location.

100% Fraudulent Business. There was no chance of any "misunderstanding" or any kind of "mishaps", what we experienced was a fully intended scam attempt. Called ahead of time to see if they had time to repair a puncture. Usually I repair simple punctures myself but was feeling lazy that day. They said they will need about an hour, an hour for puncture repair is odd but gave me time to grab a lunch. After 90 minutes of no call I simply showed up to see where they were at. All they did was put the car on jack and removed the wheel. The sales person told me that the puncture was located on a spot where it couldn't be repaired. I asked if it was on the side wall, no answer. He told me he can put a new tire on, I replied sure. Then he smirked and told me that my car is AWD so all four tires must be replaced. At this point I knew what he was up to so I asked him to show me where the puncture was. Here are his answers, different each time of course. "Oh it's at where it can't be repaired" "Oh don't worry about it we tried and couldn't repair" "You know what I think I can change just one tire for you" "I don't know where it is so I can't show you" "There is no point because I'm not going to sell you tire today" Trying not laugh I told him to just put the wheels back on and I will be on my way. Took it to nearest gas station with garage and borrowed a soapy water spray. Please look at the attached picture, this is exactly where the puncture was at. It is not on the side wall, not even on the shoulder, this puncture location is 100% repairable. The mechanic there laughed with me about the story and repaired the puncture with simple twist through. Obviously there was no sign of "repair attempt" by wheel works. I used to come to this wheel works for my tire needs when I was younger, there used to be honest working men here, not anymore. Welcome to the new Wheel Works, home of scamamigos.

Super incredible service. I found these guys through Reddit and needed to get my brakes replaced…read morelast minute. I called in today, and they asked me to come by first so they could properly diagnose the issue. They inspected both my front and rear brakes and confirmed that the grinding noise was coming from the rear pads. They were completely honest and let me know my front pads still had plenty of life left, instead of trying to upsell me on parts I didn't need. After confirming the issue, they ordered the parts, which arrived within about an hour. Once the parts came in, they knocked out the brake job in just 30-40 minutes. Super fast, transparent, and professional from start to finish. They also topped off my fluids and filled my tires, which I really appreciated. They walked me through everything and showed me exactly what was going on, which made me feel like I could truly trust their honesty--unlike some other shops that might try to say you definitely need new rotors or extra work done. Very fair pricing as well. I couldn't have asked for better service. If you're looking for a trustworthy shop, come support this small business--they clearly know what they're doing. I'll definitely be coming back here 100%. Thanks again.

Dear Big O Tires San Mateo Management,…read more I am writing to share my appreciation for the excellent service I have received at your San Mateo location. I have been bringing my vehicle to this shop for my last five oil changes and inspections required for ride-sharing, and each time I have left completely satisfied. Your team is professional, knowledgeable, and consistently goes above and beyond to make customers feel important. I especially want to highlight Alonzo; he always ensures that I am well taken care of and provides a level of service that is truly impressive. It is clear that you have a great team of hardworking individuals who take pride in their work. I will continue to bring my business to this location and recommend it to others. Best regards, Vernel Primus

Very dishonest business. I came in wanting help with a flat tire. Rodrigo said my calipers were…read morerubbing against my rotor and needed an immediate $1.5k fix. I wanted validation of that first. Rodrigo came out to show me and was making up all sorts of stuff like feel the grooves, it needs a replacement. Still not convinced as I wasn't getting a straight answer to how many mm are left with proof, I went under the car and took this picture. There is more than 50% left, about 70% of a full pad. The little low pad warning visual helper notch is still there as well. Are the clerks incentivized to make one time sales over running a honest business? Please make good win-win long term decisions for yourself Big O. I appreciate the tire repair but not the dishonest upsell. An honest gauge of where my brakes are with a plan to follow up would have made the sale, not lying repeatedly and dodging my validating questions. Thanks, a local nearby would-be regular customer

While waiting for my car, I was able to walk to the shopping center and hand out at one of the restaurants. There was a Starbucks, a boba place, a Greek-pizza place, an American diner, an Italian bakery, and a sourdough bread place, so you've got options. Neighborhood seemed friendly enough and a lot of people were out and about on a summer weekday. The location is also convenient to get to from 92. I'd recommend coming in. I guess one thing is that Hari said he'd call me, but he never did. He is running the shop and the gas station; it looks like a lot of multitasking. So I guess you can always call in for a check up on the status...or just hangout at the shop - there were a few chairs there.

Most of us need gas to get us around if we don't already own EV's. Finding a medium in peace or to…read moreoffset the soaring fuel prices is just as important to have on the daily. If you're like me and enjoy starting your morning off undisturbed and have the gas station to yourself, 76 off Crystal Springs is where I've been coming to pump some gas before contributing to traffic on 280/92. This gas station is at the top of the hill (if you're coming from Ralston and passed the Juvenile Detention Center on the left). I normally stop by before 730 a.m. on a weekday and it's really quiet up here. Rarely happens, but may come with the exception of one car pumping gas like me or someone dropping off at the donation bin at the entrance. Lot is filled with cars parked for service. Then you have the occasional car passing from Bunkar Hill. Just don't get the word around that this gas station is always peaceful and conveniently located, that is if you are willing to drive up to the top of the hill, depending on where you're coming from.
