The manager, assistant manager and their team went above and beyond to take care of me today. I was given some lifting struts, wheels and tires as a gift for my 21 Silverado (not purchased at their store). Did they care? Nope! They happily installed everything on my tight schedule and at a very fair price! I called around for a couple of days and decided on Famous - San Jose and am so glad I did. They have earned a customer for life because of their professionalism and willingness to help take care of me, even though they didnt earn any money on the actual parts. I dont do reviews very often, so I hope anyone who is considering using this location understands how impressed I was with their staff and service and shouldnt ever hesitate to use Famous-San Jose for all of your auto needs.

I needed a tire patched and stopped at 3 other places who could only schedule an appointment for repair 2 days later. The team at Famous offered to take care of my truck first thing the next day. I went in at 7.00 am and they promptly fixed my tire. The manager was professional and the technician was knowledgeable and efficient.

They bend over backwards for customers. But due to policy, I was charged the full rate although I did over half the work myself. I highly recommend these guys.

I was there yesterday when my mom’s car broke down and needed an alternator repair. They were able to work us in late in the day and did a quality repair. The staff was friendly and kind. The repairmen carefully wiped all finger prints and grease from the car’s exterior before backing the car out of the bay. The manager Chip gave us a coupon. Recommend!

Chip and his team jumped right on my car and figured out what was wrong and fixed it in less than two hrs.. and they didnt knock my head off with the price either!! will recommend to everyone

They treated me as if I was family! I went in about 30 minutes before they closed and they treated me as if the doors were just open for the day to get started! Nonetheless I was in and out the next day with brand new brakes and rotors for under 300 bucks and they did an amazing job! Customer service is on point and they were very informative throughout the entire process! Pain-free and I will definitely be going to them for all of my Corvette needs!

Went to this place for a tire repair and these guys were awesome! Everyone was courteous and no one tried to upcharge me. Felt like I was visiting family. Its comforting to see that theres still an automotive center that actually cares about fixing your car and not Nickle and Dime for everything. 5/5, 10/10, THIS PLACE IS WORTH IT!

Different manager there from the last time I was there. Still the same service. Was dew for a tire balance and rotation. Was there for about an hour or so. But all the bays were full so they did hustle right along. Good garage to use if you need anything done.

Earl and the rest of the team are very professional and took the time to explain what was going on with my car. Brought in my Cadillac STS and had o2 sensor and motor mounts replaced. They did a wonderful job and got me back on the road. Highly recommend Famous!!

Review №21

Luke, Earl, and the Team down at Famous Auto and Tire are some of the best in the business! They got me in on short notice for a non-emergency on my Toyota Tundra to have my tires and wheels changed out to accommodate my schedule and treated me like I had been coming to them for years. Johnnie even loaded my old wheels in my truck tied them down and secured my spare back under the truck. This is next level service.While I waited I repeatedly heard how amazing Earl treated each customer. He greeted them by name and took all the time they needed, not how much time he had, to take complete care of them. I also heard them talking about how they would never let a car leave the shop that they would not allow their family to ride in.This level of customer service and quality workmanship should not be passed up! Being a total car care center, I would definitely give the Team at Famous Auto a shot at your business the next time your car is in need.Thanks Again!

Took my 4 Runner here to get some work done on it, the team here were great. Very friendly and a wealth of knowledge. I felt safe taking my truck here and felt everyone did a great job, my truck rides likes an absolute dream again. Do not hesitate with these guys, they know what they are doing and offer great value. Will be taking my truck here again when I got new tires. Thanks for your awesome work.

Review №28

I can’t even begin to tell you how thankful I am for how courteous and professional Earl and Luke were when I brought my car in to them. My car was involved in a hit and run and needed a tremendous amount of body work. I got my car back two days before I was supposed to move across the state. The body work was done by another shop, but I needed to have all four tires replaced, my wheels aligned, my battery checked, and my auto start/stop function fixed. They did the tire alignment the same day and ordered my tires for the to be replaced the next day and had me in and out in under an hour. They were also able to clear my battery and fix my auto start/stop function. Not only that, but the price was so much lower than anything I could have expected. It was so nice having a company that actually cared about my car and my well being when driving. I am so upset that I’m leaving Jacksonville and won’t be able to have them service my car. I highly recommend them for any of your car needs.

Dropped my car off at 9 am on friday for a tire and an alignment. After being convinced that another tire was bad around 3 pm on Friday I left my car and hoped it would done sat morning. Arrived on sat at 3 pm and found the car was in same condition as I left it and both manager and a mechanic sitting in the office. Not one to raise hell about stuff so asked for my key to take to a shop that actually works on cars. Opened the door and found center console and glove box open like it had been rummaged through. All I can say is be careful going here. I like the guys that work there but it was really sketchy the way my transaction worked out.

I have been getting my oil changes from here for sometime. Never an issue or an upsell. I just recently had had my brakes done. They were cheaper than any other shop around. Earl has always been more than kind and patient with all of my questions. He sets the expectation and comes through. Would highly recommend and we are considering having our small company fleet get the work done here

I’ve been coming here for all auto repairs. Great prices, Great work, and really friendly employees. Two weeks ago they replaced my water pump. They had me out of here really fast and they charged a lot less than I was assuming that it would be. I am here now getting a front end alignment. I highly recommend coming here.

Excellent customer service!!! Had my beloved 1971 Ford Mustang Convertible towed to the San Jose location. Chris, Chris, & Jordan took special care of my one of kind classic. It had no brakes and wasn’t starting after sitting in the garage for many years. They helped get me running like a champ again and I’m so thankful!!! They installed a new distributor, brake conversion, tires, wheels, water pump, belts, hoses, plugs, etc. I found the whole team to be genuine, honest, and courteous. The pricing can’t be beat either!!! Thank you to the Famous Automotive Team.

Went in for a leveling kit on a brand new truck and came out with more damage. The reason I’m leaving a 5 star review is because of how it was handled after the fact. The manager Joshua owned the problem came up with a solution and made it right. Accidents will always happen in life but how you handle them speaks volumes about your company. Well done.

So I stumbled upon this place by accident and I’m glad that did I because my high-mileage Jetta was giving me multiple issues at once. Three things that stand out about this shop in my eyes: 1.) Hospitality — best customer service I’ve ever received from any repair facility. 2.) Sense of urgency — I observed management prioritizing the repairs and making all reasonable efforts to get customers back on the road quickly. 3.) Price and transparency — Management was very straightforward about what needed to be replaced today and how the costs broke down. When I researched prices afterwards, I concluded that the prices were indeed very reasonable for parts and labor. This is now going to be my regular shop for every repair going forward.

These are the friendliest group of people I’ve ever encountered at an auto place. When I brought my car in for brakes, they were honest and told me they could do it but that I probably had another 500 miles left on them! I was so appreciative! We take all our company trucks here for tires and service, too. Love the guys at Famous.
