Skip’s Tire & Auto Center – Fremont

And thats why you put the new ones in the back and the old ones in the front… isnt that how its works? And by the way the two tires were still good. So why should i buy all four?

So now I am not happy about Skips not being in Fremont anymore! And here is the reason why, I bought 5 new tires w/​tire protection plan and they move on me, so now I would have to go to there other locations which is out of my way and I think I shouldn’t have to do that. But if I did Dave the store manager would probably take care of whatever my needs were for my vehicle.

Yes Heather, both occasions took place one ¹⁰⁄₃₀. Thank you Dave for your private message! I would id love to come to Scott’s valley but that is quite a distance!! wish you the best of luck. Heather, I honestly don’t think this is an off day for us or skips. Maybe some retraining on customer service is due or employees who enjoy what they do. Again, the times that Dave has assisted, it was nothing but pleasant. Hope you can find another person like him soon and is happy to comeback. I even submitted a request online for a quote and I am STILL waiting to hear back. Auto replay stated 24 hours someone would get back to me… hope that gets taken care of too!

Horribly rude! Called this morning to see if it was better to make an appointment to remove a nail from my tire and was shut up, and pushed off the phone. I explained to Charlie, the lack luster employee, my situation and I got silence. Then a one word answer and hung up. Glad I called before I took my vehicle to someone who hates their job.

Very nice store. I went to get my tire changed I have a new car 2014 altima and my tire sign came up. Went to Sears the guy at seats said I’ll have to change the
I decided to change it. But went to this place as it is close to my house. The guy name was David very nice guy. He explained evrything about the tire and as soon as he saw the nail in tire he said u don’t need a new one I’ll fix it for u. he could have easily made money of putting a new tire as I already told him what sears told me. But he was honest and just fixed it nice people polite. I will definitely b back there.

Hopefully this review doesnt get buried like my past ones… Dave is very honest and nice. I feel like I can trust him and he will always do right by me. I needed my front brakes replaced and rotors resurfaced. He always takes care of me and I would be happy to refer business to him 8 days a week. THANK YOU DAVE.

this auto repair shop is fair priced. they use quality parts. very nice and quick with no b/​s i have been hear about 6 times. im comfortable to send my wife on her own here. unlike other place’s good job. skip’s

Have had nothing but a great experience at Skip’s. The manager, Dave, is super helpful and friendly. The guys who have worked on my car are very efficient and do a great job. As a woman, sometimes going to get my car fixed can be an interesting experience of the «experts» giving me the run around or some other nonsense. They didn’t do this at all. I would feel very comfortable going back regardless of my car issue… plus they are around the corner from my house which is such a bonus!!!

Don’t know why all the bad reviews! I had a bolt in my tire really close to the side wall, they told me it could not be fixed and I needed a new tire. Went to a couple other places before I came here and everyone said the same thing! So I decided to just stay here. The tire price was fair but the mount, balance, labor, taxes, fees was a little high. They didn’t have my tire there so they ordered it for me and it was there in a few hours. Very nice people and service was great. After it was all said and done one of the guys had offered me a warranty on the other 3 tires that I didn’t even buy from there because the tires were only 10 days old. I was really surprised he even offered me that because I didn’t even buy the tires from him. The only reason I’m giving this place four stars was because I thought the mounting and balancing and all of that was a little expensive.
Would go there again!

I had a leaky tire and really was hoping that it was just a nail in the tire. Was going to go the the tire store that was next door but since I had to make a uturn, I decided to just stop there first. I was really apprehensive as I did not want to be told that I needed a new tire (which usually happens since men usually think women are gullible walking into a tire store). They weren’t busy, and did find a nail in the tire, and fixed it in 20 minutes! And it was cheap. Thanks Skips! I’m sure I’ll be back again!

Shopped around for a full set of new tires for my 2005 Jeep and ended up coming here. They beat the lowest price at America’s Tires and were able to offer the original tires that came on my car for a huge discount. Customer service was great, service was fast and the store was clean. I also appreciate that they are a local business and not a huge national chain,

I bought new tires from here recently and had a great experience. The store manager and his staff were very professional and helpful. They helped me make an informed decision on what I needed. I felt very comfortable with the process and did not feel I was being taken advantage of because I am female. I highly recommend this place to anyone needing tires or service. They were awesome!

Crooks! these people are a rip off!!! Had a nail in my tire and was told I needed a new tire. They said it could not be repaired. I took my car to a different shop and they repaired my tire. Thanks les shwab that the building next door. Stay away from skips there a huge rip off!!! The sign says it all «skips» do yourself a favor skip this place.

Quick review…
Came in for a nail repair on my rear tire.
Found out that I needed new rear tires, completely worn out on the inside and they showed me so I ordered a pair (19 inch tires @ $ 600/​pair). Didn’t want to shop around to save $ 50 so I went with them.
Customer service was good.
3 days later, I noticed my rims had deep scuffs in them from what I assume is from when they mounted them, I am very careful when parking so I would know if I did that. Also, where the rims were scuffed, the tire is not, so if the the rash was from parking against a curb, the tires would be marked as well… they weren’t.
I should have shopped around for a place that specialized in aftermarket wheels.

Great customer service, funny guys, and the fastest repair time I have ever experience at any repair shop.
Les Schwab told me and my sister –in-​law that it was going to take an hour and a half just to get the car into the garage. Skip’s told us it was about 30 minutes, which, in reality was like 10 minutes. These guys are efficient and so amazingly sweet and funny.

I don’t see what all the fuss is about, this place is fantastic! Maybe 2 – 3 years ago there were some issues, but that’s old news!!! I come all the way from San Jose to get my tires and brakes serviced, and trust me, there are plenty of auto and tire shops much closer to me in San Jose!
Make sure you work with the store manager, Matt Overman! He’s very responsive, and committed to building a strong and satisfied client experience.
On a side note, the staff are all friendly, and the shop is always organized and clean. There are plenty of trashy mechanics shops out there where you don’t feel comfortable with the people working on your ride … this is NOT one of those places!

Terrible, Terrible place to receive auto work per my latest experience. I came in for an oil change, which was done in a timely manner. I had no issues with that. What I DID have an issue with was when the man at the desk (I’m not sure if it was the manager of the establishment) told me that my water pump was leaking and needed to be replaced. Not having enough money at the moment, I decided to hold off on the repair.
That turned out to be the best decision possible. I eventually went to Omega Auto, which is the only place that my brother trusts with his Lexus. I asked them to take a look at the car, and it turns out there was NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. $ 300 saved, and I will definitely NOT be coming back here.

Needed to replace 4 tires on my wife’s car so I called around to a few places and ended up going with Skip’s because they had the best price and were one of the few that could do the install that day and they gave me a good price.
When I dropped the car off the place was very busy with only one younger man working the front counter. I offered to come back another day if it was easier but the guy at the counter assured me that if I left the car with them they would have it done before they closed at 6PM.
It ended up being closer to 6:30PM but they were very busy and could have easily not done the car at all so I appreciate the fact that they stayed late. They even properly returned the spare tire, jack, and tire iron I had in the back from having to change a flat on the freeway which in my experience with other places rarely happens.
Not sure why this place has the few bad reviews it has. Everyone there seemed friendly enough. They seemed to be on the ball, did good work and delivered when I needed them to.
Next time I need a vehicle serviced I’ll give them another try.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!
My car broke down last year (blown head gasket, overheating), and I took it to Skip’s because it was the closest shop. I saw all negative reviews on Unilocal,but decided to go with them anyway because I was desperate. BIG MISTAKE.
This is how the experience went: First they charged me a hundred dollar diagnostic fee, then replaced the water pump. Then they noticed that the belts were worn out, and that needed to be replaced. Then it was the head gasket. This whole process went on for over a month, with them discovering new «issues» every time they fixed an old one.
Finally, they got the car up and running, and by then the costs had skyrocketed from their initial estimate to over $ 4000. After over a month without a car, I just wanted my car back, so I reluctantly paid the cost.
The very next day after I took the car off their lot, the car died on the freeway. Luckily I was able to get to a shoulder before I lost complete control of the vehicle, but I was THIS close from getting into an accident. I brought the car back to Skip’s, and they proceeded to spend another couple weeks trying to diagnose the problem (you can see these guys are very competent here).
Finally, they tell me they can’t fix the problem, I have to take it to a dealer. Thanks for wasting 2 months of my life! I take it to the dealer, and find out there was a problem with the ABS system that Skip’s had failed to diagnose. The failure of the ABS system also caused over $ 1500 in electrical damages to my vehicle. Combined with ABS system and the initial repair, I am now looking at a $ 7000+ bill on a vehicle that isn’t even worth that much.
Guys, if you are reading this, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! There are 2 or 3 other car repair shops on the same street. Don’t make the same mistake that I did and waste 2 months of your life and thousands of dollars on incompetent repairs. Don’t ignore the reviews on Unilocal and regret it like I did.

I WOULD NOT recommend anyone to go to this place. First of all, the attendant (possibly the owner) of this shop was very rude and unprofessional. When I first walk-​in, never greeted me nor acknowledged me and see if he can help me. He rudely stared at me and said «Yes?» gesture.
It seems like he was annoyed that he was about to get business from me (BTW I was looking for new tires and it cost around $ 750). I asked nicely to see if I was in the right place. (called Les Schwab before and thought this place was it) and laughed at me with a rude chuckle and said «you are in the wrong place!» See, if I was the business owner, I would want to at least ask and see if possibly get the business, instead of telling that you are in the wrong place.
I was trying to bargain shop for new tires and wanted to see if he can give me a better pricing on new tires. Apparently, when I asked him if he can give me a quote, AGAIN with a rude gesture, «what do u want?!» Is that how you get business?
I was getting annoyed the fact that he did not want to help me and all his rude comments and answers. So I asked nicely again if he can point me to the right direction to go to Le Schwab. He immediately said that, «its on the corner of Dusterberry and Mowry.» After he said that, I said «Thanks! Apparently you did not want my business» and immediately walked out. BTW he gave me a wrong direction since Les Schwab was the next building over from him.
Overall, if you want a good service and helpful people, go to Les Schwab instead. Its next door from this business and I think the customer service is WAY better than this place.
