Old Town Tire and Auto Center

I have been around mechanics all my life. It’s a breath of fresh air to use smart local tire guys who give you low prices and exactly what you want. There was no attempt to upsell, as my car was still under warranty. They told me it would be ready in 20 minutes, and it was ready in 15. Great way to impress a new customer for life.

Took my car here with a busted transmission. after keeping my car for 3 days they didn’t start fixing my transmission. Just drained the fluid and let it sit there. I had it towed to Lyons Auto and got a great price and great work with a AAA certified mechanic I lost the faith I had with this company and would no longer recommend hem or their partner in crime Leon’s Transmission repair.

Great guys there they helped me with my after market suspension part install when no one else would try. The mechanic on duty went out of his way to help me and gave me good advice and told me exactly what he was going to do with my truck and he was honest with his work and with me. Very satisfied with there service and i would definitely go back again for more service on my vehicles in the future.

Went here for a alignment this morning as I had just installed some new shocks in my car the night before. I ended up finding a Groupon for a really awesome price on a 4 wheel alignment. Brought the car in and the guy said no problem.
That’s when my issues started, he brought me back and told me my camber was off. (it’s McPherson struts if you touch them you need a alignment) I didn’t see what the issue was as that’s why I came in. He said there was no way he could adjust the chamber for the groupon price. And that’s it would be more $ 130 dollars for the allignment. He said the groupon just covered aligning the toe. I’ve never heard of a shop charging more to fully align the car and I’ve had multiple alignments. Since I already had bought the groupon I negotiated him down to a okay price but still no deal like the groupon promised.
The alignment wasn’t bad hence two stars, but shady business tactics will keep me from coming back.

Always have a pleasant experience here. These guys definitely know their stuff. If there is a cheaper way to fix your car these guys will definitely let you know, unlike other places that are so quick to take your money. Repairs and maintenance are charged at a fair price. I bring my car with confidence.

Passing thru while on a road trip when my oil light came on. These guys fit me right in with a smile and no hesitation. Highly recommend, wish all people treated others the way they do. A quick 20 minute oil change and I was out the door.

Came in here for an oil change and left with the greatest smile on my face!
Great customer service. The staff here are so informative and helpful. I have been coming here for almost three years and I appreciate all the hard work they put into my vehicle.
Not a lot of people can say they always look forward to getting their cars serviced as well as purchasing some new tires and that’s because they haven’t checked this place out! Their rates are unbeatable!

Great service! Went in for oil change and was fast. Service is good and honest! Thank you

Finally a pleasant experience at an automotive shop!
I came in to get a price on tires, because they had worn from the inside, and wires were starting to show. YIKES!
The manager victor lifted my car up went through explaining that my control arms had play, meaning they were out of place. This is apparently why my tires with a 50K warranty were worn in 20 thousand miles.
We went through some options, and decided to get me some new hankook tires and do the control arm work for a very reasonable price. Once the tires were off, victor advised me and showed me that my front brakes were low, and not replacing them would lead to further rotor damage.
So in all, we replaced my control arm, 4 tires, brakes, and did an alignment. Great place with great service!
Will definitely recommend to all that need honest work done!

After looking online I decided to try this location based on high reviews from fellow Unilocalers. I had a rough start trying to get service since they were so busy. I was finally able to get in & I must say I was very pleased with the professional service I received.

I used their coupon on their website for an oil change and alignment. Significantly cheaper than getting these done at any shops in west LA where I live. The guys I spoke to were very helpful and showed me some uneven tire wear and poor shocks that I should look into. They also provided me a quote, and said they would beat any other quote. Definitely would go back.

Always honest and efficient. Prices are great and staff is friendly. They take the time to explain exactly what’s wrong with the car (walking you through the parts and issues out in the garage etc). Usually in and out for an oil change. Synthetic blend is only $ 29!

So I’ve been getting my oil change at the dealership for my jeep! Big mistake!!! Not only is this place cheaper, but so quick! I didn’t have to wait hours or have someone pick me up! Also, my tire pressure is always extremely low and they finally fixed it. In fact, all the dealership would do is just fill it up with air!
The customer service was great, no creepy old guys that’s for sure. Very professional. The manager Vic was extremely nice and made sure All my concerns about the car were addressed. I believe Ricky is the one who looked at my car and checked to make sure everything else that may have been sounding weird to me was good. Overall great experience, recommend them to all my family and friends!

Well, Mr. Customer Service/​Questionable Mechanic Guy: you told me to be truthful in my review, so here it goes:
1. Had tires installed, decent price, I like the tires.
2. Upon driving, noticed a clicking noise coming from front driver side above 50mph, which would disappear when brakes were engaged.
3. Brought my truck back, had 2 of you test drive with me to hear the noise. You both heard it. You said you checked the tire (fine), the suspension (fine), and the brakes (which you said were fine). You said you were stumped. You tried to suggest it was my door panel rattling. You told me to just keep driving on it.
4. I took my truck to another mechanic, who discovered that a bushing on my caliper was screwed up, and that had it not been fixed, huge damage would have occurred, as well as possible injury to my family. Ended up being a cheap, easy fix.
5. I called you to let you know what happened, and what could have happened, and why I was pissed off that you told me to just keep driving on it. You got angry, you hung up. I’m sorry if you don’t enjoy screwing up and being told about it.
I don’t know what you were trying to do here, but I don’t appreciate the situation at all. I will not be coming back, nor will I recommend this place for repairs. I may not have a fifth appendage, but I do have at least half a brain.
Update: My other mechanic just called to tell me that the bolt holding my tranny mount in was unscrewed and about to fall off, as well as the caliper bushing being loose. What a strange coincidence, as that doesn’t just shimmy off by itself. I got a call from the owner who apologized, but, sorry, dudes. I can’t afford surprises like that. So not cool.
Update 2: A week later and guess what… the clicking noise? THAT was the balancing weight being broken on the front driver side tire. It flew off on the road today, and I turned around and picked it right up. It’ll be mailed to your shop along with an invoice in the amount of whatever it will cost to rebalance that tire at another shop. I guess had your crew actually checked it after hearing the noise themselves, they’d have noticed that.
Update 3 and Response to Saleem: Your customer service guy seems to have misunderstood my mention of offroading. I had mentioned that I like to occasionally drive on dirt, and had not taken it out on an easy trail yet because of THE CLICKING NOISE that he FAILED to fix. Your response, basically scolding me for driving my vehicle how I want to and trying to make it look like the loose weight was my fault… is bad business. Now… for the last time, Saleem, coming on Unilocal and suggesting that a customer who paid a lot of money to have expensive tires installed correctly is a liar is downright shameful and quite bluntly… stupid, on your behalf. Rebalancing the tire would have been SO easy (and we’ll just keep the highly coincidental unscrewed tranny mount bolt which requires an air tool to remove out there for you to think about). As for «yelling obscenities» on the phone? Actually, I straight up told you that I did. It appears you weren’t listening, which seems a common trait among your staff all of the sudden. Perhaps you should ask your employee what prompted such a thing in the first place. I wouldn’t expect him to be truthful, though… seems like a trend you should investigate further judging from other reviews on here. Your guys screwed up, own it. Your guys not only do bad business, but now I kind of think you suck as people too. Pity.

I’ve been coming here for work on my 6 series Beamer since early 2013, about time to leave a Unilocal review
I work in the area and they offer free pickup and delivery so they pick up my car when I’m working.
Every time I suspected that something was wrong with my car, I left feeling satisfied with the transparent service and good pricing.
I came in and got my brakes done last week. The staff always explains what’s going on, and provides honest recommendations. Brought a few of my buddies into this shop as well and they’ve all been happy.
Great service and work for a great cost.

Had to replace rear tire, one of the other chain tire stores quoted me an outrageous amount for two new tires.
Called Old Town Tire and Eddie quoted me a price over the phone, which I thought was a used tire price, which was a great price to me, since i didn’t want to throw anymore money into my car older car. Got to the store and after looking at my car, saw that I needed both rear tires! But there was no pressure to do both. I liked that! Then I asked how much for alignment since I knew the car needed it and Eddie worked out a great deal for me and I was out of there in less than an hour. I ended paying only a fraction of the cost for 2 NEW tires, the chain tire store had quoted me AND bonus I got alignment done too! He was courteous and made me feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be returning here! Thanks Eddie and Old Town Tire and Auto Repair!

Not all car shops are created equal, this place was awesome! After spending a lot of time driving around getting repair quotes I ended getting my repairs done here. I’ve had some previous experience working as a mechanics assistant specially in suspension work which is what I was getting repairs done to my car. So I came in with all the work that needed to be done already planned and nothing else. The other thing they suggested is to get new brakes, but I opted out of that. Their pricing was very competitive along with with work and part warranties the job was done sooner than expected and the shop manager was friendly and communicated with me very well.
As with all repairs there’s a time trial and all the work holds together so hopefully everything will be ok as time passes, but so far so good.

Just got my AC charged today. About $ 55 with the $ 25 off coupon on Unilocal.I just had to show him my phone. Spectacular service and a very nice resting area. Took a little over an hour. My first time here and always hesitant about getting upsold at a car shop as a woman. They didn’t make me feel that way at all. I would definitely recommend them.

Went to this establishment as I needed some tires swapped out on my car quickly… they were empty so I figured ok I will give them a try… Wrong I was. They stripped my lug nut on one of my rims… (and could not remove the wheel) then they blammed it on the shop who mounted them. Then they proceed to tell me he needs over an hour to actually get the lug he stripped off. I said no just leave the wheels on I will go elsewhere.
Next is where it gets better… he puts the remaining wheels back on my car and says ok you are ready, I look at the rear rims and the lug nuts are barely hand tight and hanging off!!! I said Uhh I think you need to tighten those lugs he say «Oh Sh**» and proceeds to tighten them and check all the others. I said if I was on the freeway with my kids we would of had an issue!!!

Really quick, helpful and I liked the check-​in deal for the oil change! First thing I noticed though upon walking in, someone working there is Coptic, we really are everywhere :)
