Fair Oaks Tires & Wheels

Ever since I moved to Altadena I have been coming here for my tire needs. Fast and A+ service

Went to Fair Oaks Tires & Wheels to get some tires I bought on Craigslist mounted. Great guys, excellent price on the labor. Auto shops shouldn’t be too neat and tidy.

avoid, avoid, avoid
beware of selecting this business especially if u purchased a voucher from auto care through living social or groupon or as such!
do not even bother buying the deal since u r not going to save any.
they say by appointment? wtf it’s a lie. i tried twice to set an appointment and will not even get ur name as if u did have an appointment.
show up as told as my appointment but they can’t assist u since cars r already being serviced.
told me to come back in two hours by a guy name «edgar» but wtf is wrong, it was even more cars. must be a place to avoid
u r better off going somewhere else but here!
living social need to know what this company does and cut the deal with autocare in including fair oaks tires and wheels as a selection. i cannot speak for the other locations other than this one.
sorry for me that i bought «two» vouchers to complete a year long every 3 month oil change but i got played.
avoid, avoid, avoid buying the deal! never go to this place!

This is now my go to place for everything! I bought the auto special for very little and have taken my old car there for an oil change and diagnostic check which was free thanks to the auto special and when I bought my new car I took it there for an inspection. I feel like this is a place that can be trusted and intend to go back for all my auto needs and would recommend to anyone.

Those guys are scumbags. I had bought a Groupon for 3 oil changes at this location and they’ve been giving me the runaround. I went up there to use it last Saturday, but the guy said I needed to set an appointment in advance, so I set it up for today, the following Saturday, at 12:30 pm. Rather than putting it on an actual calendar he only scribbled it down on a piece of paper, which made me wonder if they really recorded it. When I arrived today I wasn’t welcomed like a customer but «greeted» with an attitude like «what do you want?». I said I was there for my scheduled oil change. A guy named Osvaldo who seemed to be in charge replied that they don’t take Saturday appointments and implied that I must be imagining things. I said that this was the second time I had driven out in vein and that I had prepaid for the oil changes which I could only use on Saturdays since I work in Anaheim during the week. He couldn’t care less and just repeated «we don’t take appointments on Saturday». After this reception, I wouldn’t ever go back there or let them touch my car. Nasty unprofessional people. I am going to transfer my prepaid oil changes to another facility. Stay away from these buffoons!

If I could put NEGATIVE Stars I would.
This place is a dump and like Jay said a rip off and rude. I too bought a auto care special via groupon and thought what a deal… WRONG.
First of all they RARELY answer their phone. When the machine picks up, it doesn’t receive messages, it just has some lame chicks voice on it saying they can’t come to the phone. I tried on 5 different occasions to make an appointment over the phone. So wanting to get my oil change and money’s worth, I drove over there to make an appointment. I show up on time a week later for my appointment where the guy quizzes me about what day and what time I have my appointment. Then says it will be 15 minutes. I say fine.
Then the guy I made the appointment pulls up (I’m sure it was the same DOUCHE) Jay dealt with. He tells me that it’s $ 6 for disposal, I say ok, pull out my debit card, he hands it back to me saying «It’s not even worth the transaction». I say, so what are my options? He says «You’re going to go and get cash.» I say «Well you guys could have told me that when I made my appointment or something.» He pipes up with «Lots of places don’t accept cards under a certain amount.» I say «Yes but they post that or let their customers know that information in advance.»
I maintain my control and wait for my car, standing amongst parts and dirty tires.
My car comes down from it’s oil change and I say oh no one asked me but I’d also like my tires rotated. He says ok. A few minutes later he walks over and says «you’re going to need front and back breaks, not sure if you take it to the dealer or what.» I say «Well I certainly not have it done here.» He says «What did you say?» I said «This is the worst experience via Groupon I have ever had. You are rude and unprofessional and I won’t be coming back.» He says «all this because of $ 6?» I say «No because of your attitude and lack of customer service and you can kiss the $ 6 goodbye, I’ve already paid for your services and won’t pay a penny more.» I got in my car and drove away. NEVER EVER to return. DUMP DUMP DUMP with dumpy people with no class or regard for others.

I have to say right off the bat when you first see this place you wont get that love at first site type of feeling but give it a chance it might just surprise you and I guarantee you’ll keep coming back and besides don’t all mechanic/​tire shops look dingy?
Anyway like I always say little places huge deals AND this place gets FIVE big stars for that. This place is super convenient, they have very friendly staff and if you need a quicky tire change, oil change or tire rotation consider it done and with a smile AND you still have money left in your pocket or ice cream.
The place is very inexpensive especially comparing to big tire shops. My Mama and sisters have been coming here forever and ever since they told me about this place I keep coming back… I definetly recommend it and unlike other places where they try to take advantage if you are a woman, here they’ll be straight forward with you.
Take advantage of their great prices, why pay more… oh geez I sound like a commercial hahaha! Anyway if your driving too fast you might just miss it, it’s right on the corner of Fairoaks and Howard.
You’ll thank me later :)
(Maybe later I can tell you about a good mechanic)

Owner/​manager is great but the employee I dealt with was either a liar or totally incompetent.

I’ve been coming to these guys since I had my old Acura way back in the day. Either for a patch up or for replacement tires. They’ve always had the best prices in the city, and are located down the street from the pad.
Well, yesterday I’d gone to the dealer to get it serviced (major service) and they showed me how my wheels were all crudded up and would need to be replaced. That’s fine, but the dealer wanted $ 500 for a set of 4 brand new tires. That ain’t happening.
I woke up this morning with my local shop in mind and drove over and asked how much for 4 brand new tires for my car. $ 260, brand new, all 4. You got a deal! Are you kidding me? Without me asking them what Toyota quoted me, they pretty much gave me the same exact tires, new, for half the price which included wheel alignment, etc…
They wrapped up the job in about 90 minutes, I even had time to come back home for a bit before walking back over. They were working on a Z4, 350Z and an Altima. Just because they’re in the ‘hood does not mean that they only work on buckets… you goddamn racists.
When the time comes, I’m getting my brakes done here too.
BTW, Mexico is going to win the world cup.
