2007 Mazda 3. Had the brakes serviced, the front and rear suspension replaced, steering aligned, and an oil change since it was up on the lift anyway.The prices were reasonable, the quality of the work was excellent and the representatives communicated clearly and with integrity from beginning to end.They have earned my repeat business!

Very straight forward with the service I needed to keep my car going! Excellent work! My only complaint is that they’re so good so they’re always busy! So definitely make an appointment if you want quick service! I love this place and will continue to go for all of my other car service needs.

This is the former Big O tires company that use to be on Park. Same great professional service. Same friendly staff. Same reasonable prices. Bigger location.There are a few businesses in my life that justify my lifelong support and this is one of them. There might be a short wait but thats only because it is no secret this is the best option for tires in town and they know what it takes to stay in business.

Friendly and knowledgeable people, Guido ensured a smooth experience and my tires were installed same-day. No trouble with my requests specifying which tire I wanted to swap in for my full spare, and I’ve already put 600 miles on the fresh tires and alignment with no vibration or tracking issues. Thanks!

It is easy to call and make an appointment. The person who received the call is very receptive to my service need. Upon arrival on your set appointment just wait until the person ahead of you is done and properly attended which guaranteed you will receive the same courtesy. The approximate working time was earlier done than what is expected. The quality of the job done was excellent. I would highly recommend this service center. Guido was my service coordinator. Job well done!!!

Big Discount Tire Pros is now my exclusive Tire shop. I used to go to big box stores for tires because of what I perceived as value for lower priced tires. But they dont provide services that extend the life of my tires, for instance, alignment. But at this point in my life, I need full service and fast efficient service. That is why I like Tire Pros. With the professional support that they provide, my tires last longer (saves money)! And you get everything at one appointment (saves time)! And the staff is very knowledgeable and very nice which is the gravy on the biscuit for me!

Bought a set of tires a few months back. Ran over something on the freeway and needed to fix my flat tire. Guido and the team at Big Discount Tire Pros handled it quick and easy. Got the tire fixed, installed, and back on my car with no problems! They were even ready to get a replacement tire for me if needed. Definitely getting my next set of tires there again! Thanks, keep up the good work!

Great customer service and communication. No high price purchase pressure from the staff. Very friendly crew. Steven was awesome. He helped set me up with a new set of tires and factory suggested work, all within my budget. Great tire shop!

Excellent experience and service! Called over the phone to inquire about getting 2 new tires. Mike generously helped me over the phone and invited me to come right over-short notice, no appointment. Literally everyone there was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Took a walk to the park while I waited. No hassle. Highly recommended!

Ive been giving my trucks to Gary for maybe 20 years now..he hires good service managers with good follow through.. the last time Guido called me the next day to see if all was good with the brake adjustment I had done. Only once did I have to go back about a steering alignment and no questioning me I was unhappy and they worked to fix it. So mechanics are top notch too. But I really see them

The team at Big Discount Tire Pros did it again.Great service as usual. I needed new tires on my truck. The tires Stephen recommended are the quietest All terrain tires I have ever had.When I had my truck smog tested several months back at a different shop it passed but they told me I had a misfire code in the computer. I had Big Discount Tire Pros check that out and it turns out it was an old code so all is well. Happy to hear that.Very happy with the service I received and treated well as usual.Gary and his team have been serving the Alameda community for many years and it shows. I think I had been going to the other location for close to 40 years. It’s great to see them in the new and much improved location.

Big Discount Tire Pros is more than just a tire company. They handle repairs from replacing windshield wipers to all types of larger automobile maintenance. The team is dependable and polite. I can honestly say I have not had bad service while coming here.

Tire Pros has always taken good care of my car, but recently I was there, not long after having foot surgery. They were particularly quick, but thorough, with my car so I wouldnt need to sit around too long because I was unable to walk somewhere for a snack while waiting for the necessary work to be done. They did an awesome job servicing my car, and the employees were kind and considerate! Thank you Tire Pros!

Big Discount Tire Pros has helped us with tires and service with 4 different cars since 1998, since they were on Park Street. Great service and prices from a locally-owned shop. Very accommodating and they run a sustainable shop. We just purchased 4 new tires for our 2007 Prius for a road trip to Oregon: they exceeded our expectations over 1300 miles and *greatly* improved our Prius handling and emergency-maneuvering capabilities.

Review №29

Went in for an alignment. After the work was completed, the car still did not drive straight. Came back to have it corrected, was told it was the tires, so I bought new tires and a thousand dollars later, the car still drives crooked. They offered to fix it, but after two more tries, it still wasnt straight. I was about to give up, but took it elsewhere to get a second and third opinion. Both competitors showed me that all four wheels were off. I went with the competitor and the car drives perfectly now. I dont know what happened, but the bottom-line is; I paid for an alignment and these guys were never able to correct it. The only positive note is that the sales team seemed to be receptive, though ultimately that did not result in the desired outcome.

Review №40

This is my second time using their service and it was a disaster compared to first (couple years ago).I had a nail in my tire, which they removed and repaired the tire, but they made more damage than help:1. After their intervention the repaired tire had two big bubbles on the side which of course is unrepairable and is dangerous. Even they acknowledged the bubbles were not there when I left the car.Basicly had to buy new tire and in my case I had to replace all tires since its 4x4. 🤦‍♂️2. While re-mounting the tire they apparently bent a protective plate behind the brake disk which was scraping the disk 🤦‍♂️3. They way over-inflated (+10psi) all my tires which just shows they are sloppy and/or have no clue what theyre doing. 🤦‍♂️Needless to say I will not be their customer anymore, plenty of better services nearby.

I have been going to Gary Voss’ Big Discount Tire Pros since 2001 when he was on Park Street. The staff is beyond courteous and professional. The work done on my vehicles is always to perfection. On the one or two times in 20 years that I have not been completely satisfied, I have brought it back and it was made right. A 5 star operation.Bassey Obot

If i can give them 0 stars i will do it. we made an appointment 11:30 for just oil change. they told me it only takes about an hour. after an hour and half we came back here because they never call back. when we came back they didn’t start yet!!! what they told me is we have many cars bla bla it was busy (whatever). They never know what is appointment means. I am also busy too not just you. thats why we made an appointment. Never gonna come back.

I fix my vehicles myself whenever possible, but this time it was the AC and I just dont have the tools. My friend recommended this place, after using their services for 20+ years and being friends with the manager for even longer. I took up on his recommendation and I was not disappointed. The place is very clean, staff is courteous and professional. They were upfront with what its gonna cost, and did a great job. My 20y old truck has ice-cold AC again, just like it was straight outta factory. If I ever need help with something I cant do at home, Ill definitely be coming back there.

Great service, decent prices, and trustable. Got a new set of tires there and an oil change, in the process they discovered some play on my hubs and were up front with the cost of fixing vs the cost of letting them go a while, so being low on time and cash I was able to put this repair off and didn’t feel pressured into purchasing.

Came in for a tire repair, a slow air leak. I had no appointment. Was promised for an hour worth of work. 50 minutes passed and my vehicle still did not move. I have to flag the guy who promised, and then he starts the work request. This guy also gave me misinformation about tire wear, that I dont need to rotate my tires because I need my good thread tires on the back. Cmon guy my vehicle is all wheel drive, its expected fronts will wear faster so to balance the thread I got to rotate em. Upon leaving the place, noticed they didnt even balance the tire pressure, 3 tires 38 psi and repaired tire 34 psi. Not coming back here anymore!!!!

Thanks for this convenient tire companyIn alameda. Friendly and does good work with your tires and other repairs. Got tired of the drudgery of the tire place at marina village. Tip; buy your own tires first save money. Also dont forget to rotate every 10,000 miles to make them last long

Review №64

This is my second time getting a tire fixed at this location. The first time I didnt have an appointment, brought my car in when I found a nail in my tire. The whole experience lasted three hours, all with no communication from the staff, except for one of the staff coming in to the waiting room to rudely tell me to keep my kids quiet (they were making a normal amount of kid noise, honestly I was impressed at their behavior after waiting for three hours). This time I made sure to book an appointment beforehand, I was assured on the phone the appointment would only last 45 minutes to an hour. I showed up 10 minutes early with my 3 kids and enough activities to last the hour. After 45 minutes they moved me to the waiting room that was closed because of Covid. They pulled my car back an hour and 20 minutes after I arrived. After two and a half hours of waiting, they called me up to tell me the tire I came in to have patched was not fixable and told me I had to buy a new tire, which of course turned into two tires, because you shouldnt replace one tire at a time. I feel like they purposefully put me into a stressful situation, elongating my wait with no communication, in order to sell me high priced low grade tires. It shouldnt take an hour and a half of work to determine a tire is unfixable, and quite frankly I am upset for being charged for that time. Utterly insane. I will not be bringing my business back and will spread the word about the poor customer service.

Great honest services. The space is huge. They can align a truck with a 12” lift easily. It’s clean and functional. Honestly, I would recommend this place over any Big O Tires. I have been to many Big O Tires and auto shops and this one has been a bit better. One last thing, great deals.

Ive been coming to Gary and his crew for over 20 years! Knowledgeable and trustworthy, with very competitive prices. An easy 5 stars. If you live in the East Bay, I recommend you consider coming here first for your tires. There is a nice cafe (The Beanery) a couple of blocks away that you can go to while youre waiting for your new tires to be installed.

Huge place and a great location near park st. Ive been to many tire stores in my life and no one was more helpful and informative than Brianna (the girl knows tires). I was able to walk in and have my tire repaired on less than 2 hours. My kids and i could have stayed and had hot chocolate and coffee and watch Netflix and they even offered us a ride home but we opted to go out to breakfast which the park st restaurants were within walking distance.

This place is a joke they up sold my mother on a set of tires for her Subaru. She needed m+s tires for winter in tahoe they sold her snow tires at over $1200.00 . They up sold her .

Review №83

Initially came here to try and get my flat fixed; however, where the nail was on the tires sidewall, it was unrepairable and had to be replaced. Since I was already paying $160 for the 4 wheel alignment and tire patch, I asked Mike L, the service advisor, to crunch me numbers for 4 tires and the alignment. His first numbers were in the 6s and I told him that was a little steep. He asked me what my budget was and I haggled that if he could get in the low/mid 5s, itd be doable and not totally kill my back account. After a few minutes, Mike was able to get me in the mid 5s, 4 new tires w/warranty and the alignment. Kudos to Mike and the crew at Big Discount Tire Pros. Will definitely be back for more services!!!

I missed the Black Friday deal. I talked to Mike D the General Manager on Friday before they closed. Mike D extended the deal for me over the phone til Monday if l kept my word to make it in by Monday the latest. I got half off all four tires free alignment and rotation. Who does that now days. Great customer sevice, l didnt wait long, l have a two year warranty. It was worth the trip to Alameda Tire Pros A1 quality work with a huge discount. I was treated fairly being a woman spending at a shop l can truly rely on Tire Pros.

I have been a customer for many, many years and I have had nothing but good experiences. I trust Gary and his team and they have never done me wrong.

Always good service here. But really expensive. I know automotive places have huge overhead that really adds to the cost of service and I do appreciate how good they are here. Theyre clear about what needs fixing, they occasionally try to upsell but dont persist if I push back. They give me rides to and from work when I drop off my car. But theyre so expensive...

Very honest! Didnt even charge me at all! I went in thinking I needed to buy a new battery and have it installed because thats what Pop, Lock and whoever they called themselves said... But here they tested it, and said it was perfectly fine and I didnt need a new battery at all. They didnt even charge me for the test or anything and they did it so fast my boyfriend didnt even complain I was late to go see him. Plus they took me without an appointment.

For a place where everyone has a mic, they’re ironically really bad at communicating. Was persuaded to wait and told that a tire patch would take 5 minutes. Over half an hour later and I’m still waiting. Nobody knows what’s going on. All my questions are met with questions from the staff: “where’s my sales order?”, who’s got my paperwork?” Awful service......one year later, same old story: did the price agreed include alignment? I was told yes As I agreed the price on the phone and (foolishly) paid upfront, the staff said no. Pick up by 3. 3:30 to be absolutely sure. Was the car ready when I arrived at 4? No...same old same old.

Im so happy I found them with bigger shop and bigger parkingI knew Gary for a long time now... And the service is always the best... It doesnt feel like a chain tire store... You knew them and they knew you... I remember a time when my wife got a flat tire And cannot be fixed... Garry gave my wife a used working tire until we can buy the new ones and then help us make an adjustment to a bit bigger tire that saved us a lot of money since Im disabled and on fixed income... Thank you every one... God bless and continue the great service to the community!

Today my car showed me a problem with my tire and the low antifreeze. I checked in Google for a place to repair it and found this place. I was surprised by the good service.José checked the 4 tires and put antifreeze on my car and they did not charge me anything. I definitely recommend this place and will return. Thank You Jose and Big Discount Tire Pros.
