American Tire Depot – San Pedro

Very helpful and professional. Will try to save you money if possible. I plan on going back

Really did BEAT all the other local shops prices, not just a meaningless advertisement to them their price was HALF of Costco’s estimate, seriously.
Good service, good deal. From now we choose them over ROLLING TIRES any day!
P. S. Food across the street is ok to eat while your car is being taken care of.

Needed two tires delivered in a pinch, these guys came through for me! Competitive price, same day service!
Thanks guys!

My last visit to this establishment was extremely disappointing. The crew was busy when I dropped in, so I was offered an appointment. When I returned at my appointment time, no one was at the front desk and the crew was in the garage laughing it up and smoking cigarettes. The mechanic didn’t even put out his smoke before asking me to wait at least an hour, maybe more. Such a disappointing experience! What happened to the great crew that was so great before??? This brick and mortar is only as good as the people it employs, and, clearly, is no longer the great place it was. Proceed with caution!

I received great service at this tire shop!
I went there without an appointment because I had a nail in one of my tires. They were able to patch the tire, and rotate my tires on the spot!
There customer service was great, the guys working on my car were moving fast, and the manager seemed very nice! I will go back.

I was able to drive in without an appointment and receive the Unilocal $ 16.95 oil special. I was in and out in the time frame they said my vehicle would be done in. Friendly.

Great service great prices and reliable mechanics works for me ! Ever since r got new owners it’s gotten much better

WORSE PLACE EVER!!! Would not recommend this place to anybody! I dont know how they are still in business! RIPOFF.!! If I could I would give this place a –5 stars

I have been getting oil changed here for years. Great service and staff They also did a great job on my husband’s 1968 Caprice. The bushings were fixed. Now he can drive it. Yeah!!!

Great service and very friendly staff! Very helpful. Planning to continue coming here

This place deserves 0 stars I called ahead to get a price on just labor for my front brake pads and was given a quote then told the guy I had a coupon and said sure come down so I went the next day and whoever was at the counter was to busy on his phone to even notice me for the first 20 secs of me just standing there I told him what I was here for and gave him the coupon he threw it back on the counter and said no I can’t do this I was so surprised like what is wrong with this guy he pretty much ignored me and just said I’m not taking the coupon. I walked out in disbelief I don’t know how this place is still in business so unprofessional and none of the workers give a shit about customers. Beware do not go there I warn you.

I went a couple of times. I only would get my tire fixed. Very over priced and not very friendly. I am very surprised that are still open. I would pass on this one. There are way better tired places than this.

Went in on a Wednesday at 1pm. I just had a spare tire put on so I wanted to get the regular tire patched up. I asked how much for a patch and they said they’d have to see if it was patchable first, so during the fix I worried I was going to be charged an arm and an leg. When it was time to pay using a credit card and I was wondering how much it’ll be for the patch… they said «you’re good.» I’m like, what?! They said no charge. Oh my God, they just won me over as a customer… I’m going to come here to buy a new set of 4 tires and get all my tire service done here from now on… their goodwill gesture and customer service was beyond belief. They know how to attract customers. I recommend them, honest and they know what they’re doing from watching their skills and how fast they work but still slow enough to do a careful, good complete job.

This place is the biggest mistake on the planet. I took my car in for a little tiny leak it was a 2 inch leak on the ground. man was I scammed. $ 2800 later and 7 visits led to so many missed diagnoses that my transmission went out. They told me I needed so many things with my car and that they change the gaskets and everything else and made my car like new. They destroyed my car. Come to find out that little leak just was too cool line of the transmission fluid that hooks up to the radiator. I found that out way later on by someone else. Why these people are allowed to stay open doesn’t seem right there destroying people’s cars my really nice car has been destroyed its got so many things wrong with it now because of them everything leaks now. They were forced to rebuild my transmission and it is bad now. Why are they not closing this place down do yourself a favor and find any other place to go to besides this place. Even the auto parts stores in San Pedro will all tell you that this is a bad business.

I bought my tires here and they do free tire rotation. The guys are honest, knowledgable, and fast. I had them show me my brakes so I can see if I needed new ones anytime soon. I like this place cause it’s close to home and good prices.

This place should be shut down.
If you’re looking for people who don’t take responsibility for their mistakes, after they don’t call you about tires you purchased being on back order after a week, then blame the rest of their staff, then lie to you about being the distributor to all other tire businesses in the area, then this is the place for you.
I think ide rather spend this moment I have here being positive though, and will help you, the consumer find an honest group of guys. Go to Rolling Tire And Wheel right up the street. That’s what I did, after a complete nightmare of lie after lie after lie of American Tire Depot wasting my time. And I live right around the block. Who treats their neighbors this way?!
Also should add — At Rolling Tire I saved 100 $ on the tires that these guys couldn’t order me in the correct size. Not an advertiser, just stating the facts.
Rolling Tire = had an awesome experience
American Tire Depot = had a terrible experience

This location is horrible. Customer service is nonexistent and workmanship is dangerously inadequate. I bought my tires with the warranty from the Valencia location, but I moved to San Pedro and I’m stuck with this one for my free tire Balancing and rotations.
So one of my vehicles got its tires rotated & balanced in October. I had to change my brake pads in November and when I tried to take the lug nuts off, 2 of the studs were stripped and I sheared 1 off. This is evidence that they do not torque the nuts correctly, if at all.
Today I called around 12:30to ask if they could fit in a tire balance and rotation. The guy said they could at 2:30, so I assumed I made an appt because he took my name down. I got there around 2:15 and the guy tells me that it’ll b about an hr before he can get to my car, but they close at 4pm so they wouldn’t b able to finish today. Then I tell him that I called and made an appt. His response, «it’s first come first served»! WTF! This isn’t a restaurant. I’m going on a trip tomorrow, so now I have to delay it to get the work done tomorrow.

Eddie In the office was AMAZING! Super helpful and knowledgeable from the moment I calle to ask about pricing. The technicians knew exactly what they were doing and I was in and out in about 40 minutes with brand new tires. I love this Place and I am a lifetime customer from now on. Thank you.
And the cherry on top is NO ONE IN THE AREA COULD BEAT THEIR PRICES! Not even costco.

Buyer BEWARE. Talk about the oldest hustle in the art of hustling. Came here for a set of tires and when checking out and paying, noticed my bill was suddenly higher than I had expected. Upon close review, I noticed that (without even asking) I was being charged $ 250 for a tire protection plan. When I told them my car came with its own protection plan for tire damage, the manger Alex keep insisting «I don’t think. so. Are you sure?». Even though I had CLEARLY caught him he still had the self-​confidence to try to talk me into it (yeah buddy, cause you’re clearly looking out in my best interest). Talk about unethical. You just don’t do this. Then to make it worse after I had them knock off the $ 250, I was told my car needed an alignment and for the bargain price for $ 350, they’d «hook me up». Since my car needed to go in for service the next day (and after they shady-​shady tried sneaking in a charge for $ 250) I told them No Way. IF my car actually needed it, I’d have a reputable dealer do it. Surprise, surprise… after taking it in to my dealer (& asking the inspect my alignment) the service guy called and said there was NO problem with the alignment. The alignment was perfectly fine. The cherry on top? The dealer informed me they only charged $ 250 for alignment service NOT the $ 350 American Tire attempted to «hook me up with». So clearly, not only do they try ripping you off by over-​charging you for insurance without even bothering to ask, they also try telling you your car has bogus problems in an attempt to rip you off. I will NEVER go here again. What a shame… I tried giving my business to a local business only to have them try to rip me off. Shameful. I get the sense management gives bonuses or incentives to their managers for up charging you or padding the bill or why else would they go through so much trouble to squeeze every last cent out of you? Be careful… The good reviews MUST be from family members or people who got a nail taken out of a tire for FREE. Ps. Every tire shop in town fixes tires for free and most of the positive reviews are from people who had a tire fixed free (as if its such a rarity). Want the truth? Check out the reviews from people who actually paid for something. Yeah, I’m ticked.
*Did I mention’s…
*My $ 2000 tires went bald after 8 months when I was told they’d last 2x that long?
* 1hour wait time (I was promised on the phone) took only 5 hours.
*Promised 4 free tickets to Legoland with purchase of 4 tires that they promised to mail me and when I called to ask about them (after 2 months had passed) was told «you were supposed to fill out a request for tickets online, didn’t you know that?». Yeah right. I was surprised they didn’t try telling me that after an online «special request» I was expected to go through a maze in a potato sack too. Wait, you didn’t do that? Oops, sorry. No tickets for you. Lol I hope whichever employee walked away with my tickets enjoyed themselves. You’d think they would’ve at least sent me a thank you card for coming up on my tickets. Ha.

Worst place ever –
Gave this place way too many chances…
1– 2 new batteries went bad within a year
2– Set of 4 tires went bad in less than ½ the stated miles — had a blowout on the highway on one — was told all 4 needed to be replaced — warranty not honored because they sad I had not rotated them
3 — 2^nd set of tires — also had blowout on tire in less than ½ the advertised miles
4– Engine light on — replaced part for $ 400 — drove ½ mile — engine light back on — told that it can take awhile to reset itself: P
