8th & La Brea Firestone

I LOVE this firestone– the mechanics are incredibly nice and great at their jobs. I’m so sad that it was closed! Does anyone know where they went?! Specifically Rick?! Please message me!

We been going here for years and Sam and crew are great, honest, quick and reasonable prices.
They have moved since Jan 2016
New address is 5618 W Adams Blvd, LA 90 016

Drove by this afternoon to get a tire and they’re closed. Gone. The site to be part of the massive construction boom on La Brea I imagine. Had a great experience getting a tire before. C’est la vie.

Great place. I have taken my company cars here for years. Always nice, fast and they deal with those idiots at enterprise fleet management. I have no complaints whatsoever. If you’re looking to sit in the lobby and wait it’s not the nicest. It’s old. What do you expect? It’s a cat repair place. It’s not a Porsche dealer. Get over yourself.

Great experience here! Got my oil changed and tires rotated for the $ 32 advertised Special price and was very straight forward and quick. Went at 7:30am when business is pretty slow but it picks up quick so go early! Thank you guys! You secured yourself a customer

Went here to have my tire patched and they were great. Rick helped me and was very polite and fast. Service was super fast and cheap too!

They always take care of my car. I have been coming here for years. And they know my cars’ history. I put almost 200k miles on my car and it’s still going thanks to them!

I bought my car for a general inspection report. The manager said it needs 1:30h to get it done. After 2h of waiting at a nearby staubucks, the car wasn’t even started yet. It was just parked outside. Then they told me they need another 1h30 hour or so. Or to comeback tomorrow.
They just wasted my time.
These people are not trustworthy and won’t give you a good info just to keep you around– at your time wasting expense of course.

In a span of two cars and 10 years, I have been coming to this neighborhood mechanic, having complete trust in them and their services. Super cool, upfront and accommodating. This business has been around for years (since I was a kid.) Their prices are fair and they are open to me comparing prices because I have a German car.
I“ve come here for tires, alignment, complete replacement, oil changes and diagnostics to the smallest of services like replacing lights.
If I was a millionaire, I’d restore the building because it is one of the last-​standing LA architecture of the 50s (maybe 60s, not sure)

called the place to make sure they could squeeze me in for alignment if I can be there within the hour. showed up on the dot. guys just smiling at me oh were closed hehe. I thought he was kidding because the operating hours say until 4pm and it was 3:20. guess I missed the joke there.
so I find the guy I spoke to on the phone. he said it takes an hour tondo alignment and they won’t do it. after asking him why he instructed me to come if they couldn’t do it. the jerk got aggressive and even made a suggestion that if he wasn’t at work he would do something to me.
ridiculous. not only did I waste my time driving here but this thug dummy even threatened me.
so much for lifetime alignment.

The Best! By far the best shop in town and I’ve been to quite a few in my 15+ years in LA. Repairs and service are top notch… Thx for keeping my 100,000 mile highlander running like new.

Great service. I go hear for all my general maintenance work. The staff is honest and accommodating. Recommended.

Even though my car wanted to act up and not work, they did all they could to repair it. When they couldn’t figure out why my car chose not to work, they gave me a full refund no questions asked. The whole time their customer service stood the same through out the whole ordeal. Needless to say, that kind of service is hard to find now days. You get smiles and hand shakes while you pay but god forbid you have a complaint because it all changes. These guys were amazing, I would most definitely be back. Thanks guys!

I just had the best experience at this place TODAY!!!
My front right tire had been making noise before I took it in and I also needed an oil change badly. As soon as I pulled up, I was greeted by every employee there and escorted to the front desk. (It was just before 9am and I did not have an appointment.) I told them I needed an oil change and he got me right in and told me everything that would be inspected and completed. After inspecting, he pointed out that my front brakes needed replacement (down to 5%) and even took me to my car to show me what that looked like (compared to my back brakes)! I was told the rotors would need to be resurfaced and he gave me the price, no BS.
Since I felt so at ease talking about the maintenance of my car, I brought up a few other concerns I’ve had and they checked on those other issues for me and gave me a straight answer, and how to fix it. I was very impressed with their honesty and will be going back there again for any maintenance. They now have a customer for life!!!
I usually get my car serviced at the dealership I trust, but that is a far jaunt so this is my car’s new home away from home. :)

All I can say is,
! before you are charged $ 77 labor to replace the cabin airfilter!!! You don’t even need a tool and the air filter is about $ 7…don’t believe the Bull Sh*t they tell you!!! My conscience makes me post this, so my neighbors don’t end up paying these ridiculous prices for things that are so easily done themselves. Sorry guys, you were just too Shylock-​ish for me to leave it without report to the community!
Sad but completely TRUE, they will rip you off, whenever they get a chance…

I’ve been coming to Firestone for years and they are always consistent. I brought my car in for a balance/​alignment check and also asked them to check my squeaky brakes. They called me within an hour after dropping it off and told me what was wrong with my brakes. The guy explained everything to me on the phone and gave me a quote. I called around to check if that price was legit and it was. I called them back to tell them to go ahead and fix them. It wasn’t cheap but it needed to be done.
After I gave them the okay they called me back in 1 hour letting me know it was done. Very good customer service and fast service! Sometimes a corporation like this can be pricey but they were not.
I would recommend this place to a friend. Very straight forward and they get the job done!

came here to refill on my coolant and fix my back brake lights and I have the say the service here is def. on point ! Not only did they get my work done in record time, I didnt even have to get out of the car! The guy knew exactly what he was doing and only charged me 20 bucks for everything! I was in and out in 10 min! Def will be coming back here again! :)

This place used to be good, when Joe was the main person at the desk. There is now this rude as MFer there who has a huge attitude problem. I like Joe and the service he has given me for the last few years, but I will never got there again after waiting over and hour and for this new guy arguing with me and giving me an outrageous price. Do yourself a favor and got to your dealership where you will get better service and pricing, and also get a temp car to use instead of waiting hours on end.

I have been coming here for over 15 years and have had some good service and some bad service. Last week I brought my car in to have the oil change service done and replace the AC cabin filter. One of the techs, Rick, calls me to go over everything before they proceed and says I need to have the steering fluid flushed and replaced. He said it needs to be done every 60,000 miles and they have never done it there. I say OK. He also says I need to replace the rear brake pads, etc. I pass on the brakes for now but say yes to the other.
For some reason I thought to check Unilocal to see if there were any comments about the shop and I was honestly shocked to see all the negative comments and bad experiences people have had. So, later that night I go to check my records and find they did the steering wheel service just two years (and 14,000 miles) ago. I have been ripped off! Then I start to look at other service in my records and see that they did a completed brake job several years ago which lasted only one year, before they told me they needed to do it again. Now, i am thinking they probably never did the pads before and they ripped me off back then as well. I only drive 6000 miles a year.
Then I remember when I got new tires earlier this year and they lost the lug-​nut cover and couldn’t find it. I had to order a new one which cost me $ 75.
So…I call Joe, the manager, and tell him about the steering wheel fluid situation. Two days later and I have not heard a thing from him. You would think that any business will take care of their loyal (15 years) customer. I will never go back to this shop and have already told my many friends who I referred to them over the years to find someplace else more ethical.

Wow so I bring my Honda Civic in cuz it won’t start and nobody could figure out what was wrong with it for like 2 days, I couldn’t figure it out either… I spent days testing the fuel pressure, filter, checking for spark, and I couldn’t find the problem. Then they call me and said it runs. Amazing and not bad for a really fair price !
Now I am happier than ever driving around my Honda just like old times again! I would recommend this shop to anyone who has a problem that they need fixed on an automobile. The Manager Joe I a very kind professional who knows how to treat his customers, and Mechanic Rick is very knowledgeable with all automobile parts and the way they work.
Plus on top of that… He’s just an all around great person.
Thanks Firestone!
