El Cubilete Tires

Stay away from this place. The service sucks. They charge a lot for everything. Save your money go to another place.

Been here quite a few times and they’re always so friendly and nice. They have really good deals on their tires and they charge very cheap for a patch.

They sell tires from 2000! 15 year old tires. Old and lumpy for only 120 for three! They provide road side assistance but they do not give terms and condition on used nor responsibly even if you bought them 17 days ago! NO STAR SHOULD BE GIVEN!

Its unfortunate to see so many bad reviews cuz i personally have nothing but good things to say about cubilete. Very knowledgeable staff. Fast. Efficient. If you are having trouble communicating due to language barrier just ask for Caesar. He is the best. He lets you know exactly what you need without giving you a big run around. Prices are very reasonable. A little disappointed they stopped doing oil changes but i go to him for pretty much everything else. Also, they always honor the warranty just as long you have kept the receipt. I’ve gotten my brakes done that didn’t last very long but with the warranty they took care of it. Easy.

I used to be a regular customer of this place, noting wrong to say until now;I went last Sunday to change my dealer rims from a different rims that I bought. When they were. Removing the old rims I was told 2 lugs we’re damaged and they had to be replaced, I did ask how much and they say 35 plus 5 dollars for each bolt so I did asked HOW MUCH will be everything replacement, alignment and service for change my wheels and they say 85 dlls TOTAL. When they finished to the work I realized that I was short on time because I had to go to work so I told the mechanic that I could back next day to finishes the alignment, he told the guy in the counter that I was going to pay you 45 dlls, when suddenly this stupid ignorant asshole that he presumes to be the owner’s Dad Stared to yield at me at the office, no you need to pay 85 dlls only for the fixed, I was like, you idiot when I did ask for TOTAL you told me 85 and now you are telling me 85 only for the repair, he said Nothing is for free you need to pay 85 plus alignment .I was laughing about this situation and I told him you know what you’re loosing a good customer, he said we’re are not going out of business only because you. I am agree but you forgot something, we have this tool named Unilocal that allows to people to read about bad business and non education people like you. So keep your small dishonest way to do business and your small brain with u.

My first review ever on Unilocal… Went in to get brake shoes replaced on my car and it was the most unpleasant 2 ½ hours of my life. I asked someone (every customer got a different name btw) how much it would cost and how long it would take and was told $ 99, then $ 85, then $ 75. After agreeing to the lowest price i was then told it would take an hour to finish my car to which i said «ok». Long story short… I asked every single «worker» there how long it would take after the 1 hr mark, then again 30min later, then once again at the 2hr mark. All this time they kept taking more and more customers and finishing their tune-​ups. Each and every time they would walk by me they said «ya mero» –trans– «almost done» but yet no one was actually working on it. One of the guys even asked me personally if it was ok to take a few more people just for tire rotations and one tire change to which i said «yes» only because i understood that if i was nice they would eventually hurry finishing my car… They didnt! So then i put on my good old same ethnic background face/​attitude and told them that if need-​be i would help them finish my car. So i did, i handed them tools as they needed and even placed my old rims i had taken in-​into my own trunk. Heck, they saw that and guess what?! 10 min after that my car was done. I shouldve started that after the 1 hr mark. Im a chill person but its people like them that can really upset just about anyone. Btw, there were 2 other people before me and i left before they did.

DO NOT GO TO THEM! I went through the same similar problem that «Desi I.’ (the comment above; went through). They cut my safety beads of the tire they gave me and tried to cover it up with rubber glue. They kept trying to push away the «warrenty» (also, tried changing it on us but we kept the reciept) they made me drive 2 weeks with a spare; and honestly i did not feel safe driving with 3 18 inch rims and one dinky spare back and forth from home and work. They made my bf waste gas driving back and forth from Mira Mesa to National City because they kept PROMISING that brand new tires were coming in and they weren’t. There customer services is HORRIBLE; The receptionist cussed me out over the phone when trying to ask for the managers name. Ceasar kept promising things he shouldn’t of been promising; also, lied to his boss saying we didn’t show him our damaged $ 500 rim (NOT RIMS, «RIM», 1 rim alone is 500) when we brought the rim back and forth waiting for the «promising» tire so now they won’t help repair the damage that THEIR messed up tire did; and he’ll probably be the one selling you BAD tires. And Xavier (the manager) just lies up the a$s (sorry, excuse my language). I’m just pretty P.O. about what happened!!!

Horrible, Horrible Service! Don’t go there…
They put 4 used tires, after a few weeks my car started shaking out of control, so I went to my mechanic thinking that my axle is broken.
Turns out that one of the tires was ready to blow up AND it was a front tire!!! They refused to change it and just put my spare tire and made me drive for 60 miles back and forth to their shop because they were waiting to get more used tires the next day. The next day I went there again, and they didn’t have it, so they made me purchase a new tire and made me pay for it! I called many times to talk to the manager and dispute the charge, and guess what: they don’t have one, because every week the name of the manager changes from Manuel to Cesar to Tonny, to «my boss is not here today» (every day).
Avoid this place at all cost, you are much better off just paying the extra $ 100-​$ 200 for new tires anywhere else!

I have gotten my tires from Cubilete in National City for about three years in a row now.
They have always gone out of their way to make my experience and others I have referred fast, easy and effective.
Minimal wait time.
Dont be fooled by the busy street, this place is fast and always friendly!
