CSC Tire & Auto Service

worst place ever do not come here!!! Bad service and super sketchy. And there were scratches on my car when I got it back and they said that they were already there. I know my car and they weren’t there before like I said be fore DO NOT COME HERE!!!

Very irresponsible. They don’t good care of your vehicle. Found damages on sons vehicle

Would NOT recommend this place!!! Recently took my vehicle in due to overheating. I knew it was the radiator but just wanted to make sure. Instead these guys tell me I need a new timing belt, thermostat, and obviously a radiator but the timing belt and thermostat had just been changed less than a year ago! RIP OFF!!! Do yourself the favor and take your car elsewhere!!!

Worst experience I’ve ever had… Anywhere!!!
The long story short is they ruined my wheel and refused to pay for it. The detailed story is below.
I start off bringing my car in for a flat tire. In a stroke of bad luck both my passenger rear tire and the spare went flat in the span of two days. I ordered my tires online and brought them to CSC. I drop off the car for 2 hours and when I called back the guy who worked on my car, John, begins to explain that I had «wheel damage» on one of my wheels. At first I thought maybe I had damaged it myself until I thought back. When I arrived the wheel that had the damage wasn’t even the flat one!!! It was the rear driver side wheel! I know because it was the only wheel that was missing the center car logo on it! How could I have given my wheel curve damage if I never park on that side?
let’s just say on the off chance he switched up the center caps on my car, I would have noticed the damage when I removed the wheel myself. This guy John starts to go on about how he is offended by the fact that I would accuse him of the damage. I wasn’t rude in any way but he immediately got defensive. I asked to speak to a manager and he told me he was the manager. I paid and left and told him to ask the owner to call me back. I never once received a call from him despite calling several times and asking. I finally go to shop and find the owner. He simply tells me to talk to the manager. The same guy who ruined my wheels!!! At this point I’m absolutely upset. I leave and now I’m definitely going to the better business bureau. I would never send any one to this place ever.

If you need tires come to CSC they are friendly, considerate, priced fairly and do a great job. Even though it is a ways from me it’s worth the drive. There are only a few places you can trust now days in the auto repair world and CSC is one of them!!!

This shop was recommended by a co-​worker. Found place to be pretty descent for an independent. I mean I’d be ok with my GF going there by herself (they have a lady working there). Staff was friendly– tech seem to know what he is talking about. Gave me a very detailed going over of my car (I do some of my own work, he was pretty much on point).
Took my GF’s car for an oil change and found out they have a loyalty program too where you get a free oil change. Price not the cheapest in town but very compatible. Great first time experience. I’ll be back!

Great customer service. Mechanic was able to figure out the noise clunking from my car almost immediately. Explained problem clearly so a girl like me who knows nothing about cars can understand (cv joints). Reasonable price (got second opinion from dealer before having them do it). Convenient to CSULA. They’ll give you a free lift.

I came here to fix a brake light that wasn’t turning off, and they convinced me to also change my spark plugs, water pump and timing belt. After spending $ 650, my car suddenly has occasional trouble starting up, and 3 weeks later all the freon leaked out of the a/​c system! Really suspicious. The owner/​manager was really nice but I do not trust the mechanic.

Horrible Horrible Horrible! My husband and I got a flat tire while in town and needed to replace it. It had popped, we were visiting from WAY out of town and needed it fixed ASAP. This was the closest place we found. Got there and not a single person greeted us nor acknowledged we were there. We had to hunt someone down for help. The lady who finally helped us was as dumb as a rock and didn’t know what she was doing. She then proceeded to tell us for ONE TIRE it would cost over $ 300 and we had to wait over an hour for them to ship it from the warehouse. No thank you. Went next door to a Nissan specialist shop (sadly they didn’t have my tire size but were SUPER nice and helpful and recommended a shop down the street). Found the new shop, got A NEW TIRE for $ 130 and was in and out in 30mins. :)
CSC-​Get your act together and hire people who know what they are doing.

I’m glad I found this place. I originally took my car to a tire shop across the street a few blocks down but they don’t have the right size in stock for me so I found this place as I drive down valley blvd. The place doesn’t look appealing outside but the owner and my mechanic are down to earth, polite, very helpful and transparent with their prices. They gave me a courtesy car inspection and at the end thoroughly explain to me on my car condition. Long story short, great customer service and best value for the money.

All I needed was to remove the tires from the wheels (which were already off the car brought them in a truck) and they said it would be $ 18.50…each! So just to remove the tires from the wheels it would be $ 74! Outrageous… went further down valley to another tire shop and got charge $ 20 for all 4. Not bashing on their business but their pricing is ridiculous you can easily find better deals with a little more searching.

Was recommended to CSC by Costco. Steve and his his Service Techs are well trained, courteous, and very professional. My vehicle required more work than what Costco stated but the Service Tech completed the service to a perfection. Highly, ethical and full of integrity and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this organization over going to a dealership or other auto shop. Will not disappoint you and they stand behind their service!

I’ve been coming here for about 2 years now. They’re really friendly. They fixed my car quickly — hubs and bearing, transmission, wheels /​tires, and other things. It has always been done relatively quickly. The oil changes are also quick and inexpensive. Oh, and they also can get Toyo Tires and XXR wheels! They’ve cleaned up the office area a bit over the years too.

I’ve taken my car to several car shops in the San Gabriel Valley to do a wheel alignment, but none of them gave me satisfactory results. My car would still veer to the side, so I basically wasted my money. I was about to give up with taking my car to independent car shops until a friend of mine told me about a family-​owned auto shop called CSC Tire & Auto Service in Alhambra, CA, which does a very good job on wheel alignments. When I went ther, I was skeptical about it because the shop looked kinda old and was full of inoperative/​junked cars parked in the lot. But hey… I gave it a shot. The head technician there, along with his assistant, did my wheel alignment within one hour, and I was very surprised with the results. My car drove straight like an arrow! I was very thankful. On top of that, the price for the job was cheap compared to most shops (~$ 70 including tax). I’m happy with my experience with CSC Tire and Auto Service. The staff there are very friendly, cooperative, hard-​working, and never cut corners nor persuade you to have unnecessary services done to your car. I recommend this place to anybody!

This place is a joke! I went for an oil change for my Scion tc 05, and after the oil change he called me over and said «Oh your transmission fluid needs to be changed now or else it will mess up the transmission and you would have to pay $ 2000 to replace. I change for you for $ 65» I don’t know much about cars but I do know not to jump right to saying «ok, change it». Instead I went across the street to California Auto Service, and they told me «That man is crazy, you don’t need to change it. Might i add I’m asian as well and they spoke to me in cantonese… but really WTF! They just wanted money! NOT A GREAT PLACE AT ALL!
