Gondez Tires And Wheels

Greg was very knowledgable and educated us. Nice guy. Would go there again if I had car problems. Great USED tires and hard to find. Also open 7 days a week which is great for emergency. Very reliable!

Thieves. Price doubles after tires are mounted. No word of price change til they put the tires in my truck. If you have cash you are going to get screwed over. Do yourself a favor and see Ladis at Pasillas tires in watsonville. He is honest and won’t make you feel like punching him in the face when you leave. Gondez sucks the big one for sure.

Woke up one morning to find my right rear tire was flat, I checked online to see what places where open on Sunday, this place was open so I pumped my tire up and drove to this place, guy takes tire off and puts it in a tub of water, I notice air is coming out of the valve stem, they fix it…$ 20 repair???

Horrible Service and quoted me tires they didn’t have when I showed up. Took off work to go down there to only tell me they didn’t have the tires after just a couple days ago said they did. Never going back there again. Pretty disappointed.

$ 40 per tires and they are willing to make deals. ROCKZ

Always go here if you need some tyres slapped on some wheels! They will do it very quickly and for a great price. Quick fixes as well on punctured tyres. Stoked they are where they are. Shop could use a facelift?

Never will i ever go to any other tire shop in santa cruz. Cheapest fastest and friendliest. Staff is always ready to help.

Stopped in there and bought two used tires that were sorely needed. Great service, and a nice price
And I don’t even speak Spanish … Go figure
I will definitely go back if I need tires again

You won’t find a cheaper place for your tires in Santa Cruz. I was in a car accident last year which left me needing to get two front tires. I was able to get to decent tires from there used tires selection for about $ 30 each. I’ve had a slow leak in one of my tires now for a month, it just got to the point where it wouldn’t say inflated so I came by the shop expecting to have to buy another tire and they were able to patch it for $ 20.
Everyone was friendly and they attended to my car immediately. There is a language barrier but I have never been treated badly here.
I won’t go anywhere else for tires!

If I could give no stars I would. The get one for at least changing the tiers and breaks but I got my car back with many more problems than when I brought it in. Half the people there had no idea what they were doing. They proceeded to tell me nothing was wrong, then the owner came and checked out, told me several things are wrong and they will fix it the next day. I come back the next day and he tells me nothing’s wrong. I demanded he either tell me what wrong or fix it cause it wasn’t like that and he had the audacity to tell me «everyone says that» are you fucking kidding me? (Pardon my French) but that’s crap. Everyone probably says that because you guys are messing people’s car up. If you’re not a male Spanish speaker don’t bother going there

My car was making a weird noise and a nail in my tire. My friend recommended this place to get some tires. Jr was very helpful and honest. He assessed that the noise was my shocks and showed me the tire was getting damaged due to my shocks. He called around to find the best deal on The parts and I already bought back brakes. They put on the brakes I bought, fixed the tire with a nail, replaced the tire that was warping and replaced my shocks. After calling around the other places would have charged me triple the amount! Now my car is road ready and I drive a lot! Thank you Junior for being honest and taking me home and picking me up while your working on my car. Great service and results!

Went here looking for rims and tires.
Went inside the «office» which was very dark. I almost needed a flashlight.
The guy at the counter stands up, says «How you doing?» then walked to the back.
As I stood there, in the dark, for 10 minutes, I finally realized why I’m not being helped. The color of my skin and the fact that I don’t speak espanol.
Too bad because I have cold hard cash. I’ll take my biz elsewhere.

I’ve taken several of my vehicles here for both tires and repairs.
They’ve always accommodated me and will take care of you immediately. I can have two used tires on my vehicle in about the same time it takes me to fill up at the gas pump! And for half the money! The blonde haired guy and the gal with the big boobs couldn’t make a better team. She even drove me to Kragens to get a part so I could get out of there quickly. One time I went in to get some tires and a few days later, I noticed two new wheel covers on my car in place of the ones that were missing. They gave them to me gratis and didn’t even take credit until I called to ask if they put them on! Where the hell in this area do you get that service!

My boyfriend and I came here to get a new set of tires, and honestly only chose the place because they gave us the best quote. Never will we do THAT again!
We went there shortly before they closed (but over the phone a man said they would stay open a little later for us). The man at the counter said he just closed his register and could only do a cash transaction. RED FLAG. My initial thought was that this guy is giving us tires after closing and pocketing the money. Can’t say if that is really what was going down, just my first though.
After a few weeks, we started noticing the tires slowly getting low on air, one more-​so than the rest, but didn’t think too much of it because we couldn’t detect any actual punctures to the tires. After one of the tires going completely flat overnight from just sitting in front of our house, we put on the spare and took the tire into a different shop that we trusted. They told us that the tires were not put on correctly.
So not only were they shady and would only let us do a cash transaction with NO RECEIPT, but they didn’t even put the tires on correctly.
If you can’t do your job right, and your job is to replace TIRES on a CAR (a crucial element of an automobile) you need to quit your job and work somewhere else. I would not recommend this place to anybody. not even somebody I disliked immensely.

Some shady business taking place here. Beware!
