Carmichael Tire & Auto

WOW! They made my day! I don’t know the area too well but needed my tire pressure checked. Pulled in and they helped me so quickly and they were so kind about it! I believe the man who helped me was Don (?) and he was friendly, helpful and informative. Would reccomend them to anyone!!!

Apparently, when you are quoted 20 $ to repair a tire, and the tire is unrepairable, these guys think it’s standard practice to charge you 20 $ to instead put a spare on your car. Not to mention, it was 7.50 to take the other wheel off and switch it with the other side. It was 5 lug nuts. You already had one wheel off. It’s 15.00 for a full tire rotation. But 7.50 to move one tire plus 20 $ to put on a spare. 27.50 $ total for 5 minutes of work. I went somewhere else because the cheapest replacement they had was over 180 $. Apparently, they are also lazy or stupid. I told him i had a herniated disc when i came in. I had a child’s scooter in the trunk, some small subwoofers professionally installed in the back the trunk, and a 2 year old with me. He made me come out and remove the scooter because he needed help because my «sub was in the way of the spare»… It wasn’t in the way. I ended up lifting a tire I shouldn’t have. I’m a professional mechanic on disability, I never have charged a customer to put on a spare when they couldn’t afford a 180 $ tire nor have I ever worked for one that did. I have never made a customer clean out his trunk to get out a spare tire. I went down the street to another shop, bought a new tire for 75 $ installed, and they were surprised as I was that I was charged 27.50.

My van is 10 years old. For several years now it has had incredibly annoying noises… clunks, bangs, rattles. I have had several mechanics examine it and ALL told me it was nothing, save older car noises. I popped in one day to CARMICHAEL TIRE & AUTO just to have my tires checked. I mentioned the noises. They immediately took my car out, drove it around, examined it thoroughly, and determined that I needed new struts, My car now runs smooth, quiet and comfortable, for the first time in years. The mechanics here are WONDERFUL and thorough. All the staff are friendly and hard-​working, and Milo is very hands-​on explaining everything. TRUST ME… this place is great, with excellent mechanics!

Muhammad called me after I gave a negative review (1 ½ months later) and essentially harassed me about my Unilocal review. He lied again and said that he didn’t recall that situation (and then said he wasn’t there, which he was). It wasn’t until near the end of the unpleasant conversation that he said «well, what can we do to fix this?» Didn’t offer any service, didn’t apologize. Just called to disrupt my day. Do not go here. Trust me.

This shop took advantage of my elderly mother. She went in to have a belt replaced and walked out with a $ 900 bill. She didn’t know any better and they preyed on that fact. When I found out what they were doing I called to have them halt all repairs but they claimed that they were almost done and it didn’t matter because my elderly mother had already approved the work. This is a typical upsell operation done by a company that takes advantage of elderly people. I recommend that you look elsewhere if you’d like honest work done to your car.

I love Carmichael Tire Pros. I started going here about four years ago and my first experience was not the best. Luckily, they got rid of the person I dealt with and I have had nothing but good experiences since. I love that it is a neighborhood shop. I can call and tell them I am bringing in my car and they automatically know who I am.
They have been honest with me and never get me to buy things I don’t need. They do great work and double check everything. I would recommend Carmichael Tire Pros to anyone. I have since moved to downtown, but will still be going to them for all my car needs.
And Chuck, Mike, and Jeff are some of the greatest car guys you will ever meet. :)

Everyone that works here is great. Great customer service and great work on my daughters car. We have been using them for several years for everything that needs to be done on the car. She can call them and tell them what kind of car she drives and they know who she is.
I definitely would recommend them to others. They did something today that was truly great. THANK YOU

It took 45 minutes to complete the oil change, tire rotation, and brake inspection, but they did not top-​off my windshield washing fluid.
Lube oil filter labor — $ 5
Oil Filter — $ 9.99
Oil — $ 17.50
Oil Disposal fee — $ 2.50

$ 34.99 + $ 2.32 tax = $ 37.31 for an oil change
Whatever happened to getting your oil changed for $ 19.99?
This location prefers that you make an appointment for everything, even oil changes, so that you aren’t waiting unnecessarily.
The computer was shitting the bed when I was using it. Maybe that had something to do with the fact that I open like 20 tabs every session, but still the OS is running linux and some crappy browser and I couldn’t even view any flash pages.
