As a girl who knows nothing about cars, I really appreciate the honesty, service, and prices at SB Tire & Auto Repair. I bought a new set of tires here a year ago and the service was fast. I was also able to bring my car back a year later for a free tire rotation. They found a nail in my tire during the service and patched it and filled all my tires free of charge as well. They also take the time to explain any issues in a way I will understand. Overall easy and enjoyable experience every time :) Thank you guys!!
JR, Omar and the team at Santa Barbara Tire are fantastic. Id have absolutely no reservation in recommending them. Weve now used them for over 3yrs and they will always supply a quote, which is more than competitive, the quality of work is flawless.They will provide recommendations for any additional work that may need doing, but it is never pushy and always comes with an explanation.They often follow up once work has been done to make sure that all is still good, which is appreciated. All round, an honest shop that does exactly what they promise.
I took my vehicle here after discovering I needed some work done while at a different auto shop. These guys were able to work with my warranty. They matched the estimate from the other shop and got me on the schedule the following day. They finished the work in a day and I was able to pick my car up Monday. They were efficient and friendly. Highly recommend.
It’s my first time going to this place. My tire was broke by a wood stick and I had to change the tire. The team have the exactly same tire in stock and I didn’t need to make an appointment. I was expecting that I cannot get my car on the same day. But I just dropped by and they finished the work within 30min. I really appreciate the efficiency. Also I asked if I should change one or two tires. They checked it for me and decided to just change one, so they didn’t charge on unnecessary things. I like this place. Will surely come again when needed.
Had TWO flat tires on a road trip and they fixed it in under 30 minutes! Everyone inside was so nice and informative. Definitely recommend!
Always polite, knowledgeable and helpful. They have helped me numerous times on all my cars. My current van is an import, making it hard to find someone that can or is willing to work on it because it’s weird and parts aren’t easy to find. Thankfully, these guys are up to the challenge and I trust in them to keep me safely on the road.
Awesome service! I went in with an idea and Omar helped me put it all together. I ordered new off road rims which arrived within days and they had my tires already in stock. My truck was in and out and I am very satisfied with the outcome. Highly recommend and I will definitely be coming back.
Weve been going here for over 10 years. JR and the rest of the crew are hardworking and honest. Weve had service done on three different cars over the years. From oil changes and tune-ups, to brakes, alignment, and balancing. If we ever have a problem, we bring it back and they fix it no questions asked. But thats rare, because they do great work and are very knowledgeable. The prices are right as well and everything on our invoices is explained, accounted for and approved in advance.
My tires were very low on tread. Wayne and Jr always are so accommodating. They had my tires in stock and from the time I called to ask for a quote, three hours later had full new set of tires. Highly recommend.
JR and the team at Santa Barbara Tire and Service were amazing. I was traveling through Santa Barbara with my family and needed two tires changed out on my Audi ASAP so we could get back on the road. After calling multiple tire shops only to learn that my tires were not in stock and would take at least a day to get them, I made contact with Santa Barbara Tire. Not only were they the only tire shop in Santa Barbara that had my tires in stock, they went out of their way to expedite the process to get me and my family back on the road. Huge thanks to JR and the team at Santa Barbara Tire and Service! Thank you!
Caught a nail in my front tire and was close by so I pulled in without an appointment. Tire was not salvageable because of the puncture placement. Ordered a new tire through them, and they installed the spare for me until it got in. Tire took just one business day to get to the shop, and when I pulled up they had pre-installed it on the rim that I left with them. They had me back on the road in no time.A week later I got a text from the manager making sure I was satisfied with the work they had performed.Service was fast and excellent at every stage. Will definitely use them again.
No kind words here. Quoted my 18 year old $ 300 to replace side mirrors on his 1990s Volvo wagon and had his mother pay for it. Neither of them not knowing that only the inside door panel has to be popped off, then turn three screws, and plug and play connected electrical wire. I was put on hold probably longer than it took Jr. to do the job. Rip off artists! The receipt from the checking in job quote to the time the receipt was printed when picking up the car is shorter time than time quoted on the job. Stay clear of this Shop! Thieves!!! My son had tires bought the week prior. I dont even want to look at that bill. . . Take advantage of the customer who do not know what things should cost is the motto here.
We arrived 6/30 in Santa Barbara after driving in from Palm Springs. Our Subaru was leaking coolant fluid and the overheating indicator dash light was on when we parked at the hotel. I knew this was not good and I used the Yelp app to inquire and message service shops in the area. Several shops were booked solid for appointments but JR from Santa Barbara Tire & Service answered my message and I followed with a phone call. I brought the car into the shop the morning of 7/2 and his team did a diagnosis that the water pump needed to be replaced as well as the belts and provided a quote. I then called other shops in SB to compare costs and Santa Barbara Tire and Service quote was the most competitive. I asked JR if the work can be completed by the end of the day on 7/2 as we were headed to Sacramento on 7/3. He delivered on his promise, the work was completed by the end of the day on 7/2 and he also asked us to stop by the morning of 7/3 to check fluid levels, etc before heading out for a 6+ hour drive to Sacramento. We dropped by the morning of 7/3 and his team did a final check on the vehicle. We left and made it to Sacramento and the car had no issues and drove fine. I highly recommend JR and his excellent service shop team for the great customer service, completion of work on time, & taking care of us leading up to a busy 4th of July weekend. Thank you JR and crew!
This is one of the best places I have had my vehicles serviced at. The staff is extremely friendly and professional. I have been coming here for years. The service they provide is phenomenal.Overall, exceptional!
The staff is fantastic. I came right before closing and they stayed over and replaced the alternator, belts and pulleys. Everything works perfectly. I love them.
I’ve been using SBTS for several years and have nothing but praise for Jr and his team! Can count on them every time for fair pricing and quality service. Every team meme we is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. They make you feel appreciated and it shows in their work…. Highly recommended SBTS!!
Amazing service! Jr was very helpful over the phone and even followed up with me to see how the car was running. I came in for new brakes and they were the best deal in town. 10/10 would recommend.
Junior, Omar and the rest of the crew at Santa Barbara tire will take very good care you and all of your vehicles . Fast fair and reliable 💪🏽🙏🏾👍🏽
Excellent service. I was in and out within 30 minutes. Would HIGHLY recommend.!
Have been going here for years. Theyre well priced, decent, and professional. Located on a nice stretch of street where you can easily grab a coffee or a bite while you wait.
Great service. Trustworthy and fair pricing. Highly recommend.
Ive brought my Volvo in multiple times to Santa Barbara Tire and Service Center. Each time they have been super friendly, are great with communication, very efficient in finding the problem and letting me know the estimates and are always very quick to get my car back to me! 10/10 bringing my car back
They contacted me via text to check in and it was perfect timing for a tire rotation. I was able to schedule for that week and get it done at a time that was convenient for me. Great experience with efficient setup and execution!
This is a great shop. They are competent mechanics. The turnaround time was amazing. The price was fair and the work was done perfectly. I would recomend this shop to a friend.
Best experience I’ve ever had taking my car somewhere! They text pictures of what the issues were with my car during the process, text quotes of what it cost to fix, and updated me throughout the process.
I got my new tires here 3 months ago. Anytime they need a little air, they hook me up every time. Dont get your tires anywhere else ok? I highly recommend this place.
I brought my BMW X5 to this place several time’s already and they always doing a great job, attentive and respectful, thank you
As always the customer service at Santa Barbara Tire and Service center was superb! They are so thorough and knowledgeable there. They meet all my cars service needs, tires too! Thanks everyone for always taking such good care of my car!
These guys are fast! They ordered my tires to be requested at their facility by noon, by 3:30 pm my GMC was ready for pick up!!!
I’ve had nothing but great experiences at Santa Barbara Tire & Auto. Great customer service, quick and always helpful. Definitely recommend.
Ive used SBTSC a few times for mounting/balancing tires on my Evo and recently had them do a 4-wheel alignment. The quality of work is always good and they get you out of there quickly.
Omar and JR are great to work with. They are knowledgeable, reliable and efficient. I was totally taken care of and appreciate their work ethic!
Overall Experience is excellent, with quite clear communication, convenient shuttle bus, and professional reports. Enerything goes smoothly with a reservation.
I work in Goleta and my car all of a sudden was leaking and so someone recommended me this service, they fixed my car !! I had to leave my car over night and i was worried how am i able to go home in Oxnard and They let me used their car ! They were so welcoming and very nice people! Thank you so much !!!!!!!!
Impressed with the quick service. I went in for a tire rotation I was literally in and out the door, no long waiting time.
Great customer service & great knowledge. Fair prices. Not pushy. Patient!
Quality work! Cant ask for a better place.
SB Tire and Service Center put new wheels on my 4Runner and installed my Toytec BOSS suspension system. Both times the guys at SB Tire and Service Center did great work. They were thorough and had my car ready timely. Very professional service and top-notch work. They also did a great job keeping me up to date on the progress of my vehicle as well as making sure I came back for a re-check after the initial work was completed. I felt like my vehicle was in trustworthy hands, I’ll for sure take my car here in the future. Thanks guys!
Always thorough, always helpful and they do a very quality job. I have a Chevy truck with over 230k miles and wouldn’t take it anywhere but to these guys
Great experience! Flat tire fixed within an hour
I would strongly recommend this business. They went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. I will definitely return.
Santa Barbara Tire has been my go to place for tires for over ten years. They are trustworthy, competitive and have great service.
Everyone at SB Tire Service were very nice and very helpful. Went in thinking I needed a new tire since my tire had a nail in it.They told me they can patch it instead.Such great news and saved me tons of money. They were honest and very efficient.I highly recommend them!
Been to SB Tire multiple times over multiple cars. Always get great service and professional repairs.
I am very happy with the work they do
Local, fast, clean and easy to work with!
Good customer service, always friendly!
The staff was very friendly and was able to help me quickly on a Saturday!
My husband and I were driving through town when we realized our tire was almost completely flat. Within 30 minutes we drove to this establishment and they fixed our tire for us to get back on the road. This is the absolute best service I’ve ever gotten anywhere and I am still stunned at how quick it was. I would absolutely recommend this place over and over again.
Whenever we have an issue with our car’s tires we go see Junior. He treats us like family. I went there this morning when the low tire pressure light came on in my car. It turns out that I had a nail in my tire — but it was repairable. Because of covid, I wanted to wait in the safety of my car. Junior was fine with that and the entire repair and payment took place while I was inside the car. Great service!!
Fast service and easy communication. Thanks!
Best place to take your car for any type of repair hands down. I will definitely return and also recommend my friends and family
Quick to make an appointment, and super helpful when there turned out to be more issues with my car! They provided great advice, discounts, and services - they also dropped me off at home and picked me up when the car was ready. Ive definitely found my permanent mechanic in Santa Barbara!
Junior and his team are going to give you top-tier service at reasonable prices. They send you text alerts and pictures of the repairs while they are happening.
Easy and painless. I felt well treated and taking care of me and my car were a top priority. Will definitely go back.
Fast, same day service when fixing a slow leak (found and removed a screw in the tire). Thanks for the quick turnaround!
Very fast and friendly service. Very clean facility. Have had all my vehicles serviced here the last several years. Also, my family has had their vehicles serviced here too
I waited around 6 weeks after my work was done to write this review because I wanted to make sure it was accurate. I brought my Honda Odyssey in for A/C repair work. Everything was going great until I needed one additional part. This part was on national backorder due the major shipping stoppages from Covid-19 from overseas. The biggest cost with A/C work is usually labor. It takes time and a specialized mechanic to do the work. Long story short SB Tire worked with me after I was able to find the part. The part was far away and needed time to get to Santa Barbara. After it arrived they were able to assemble everything perfectly and my A/C has never been better. Most places would have just sealed the hvac back up and charged me again for reopening it when the part arrived. This probably saved me around 1k. I would definitely recommend SB Tire. They are honest and do quality work at a very reasonable price. They also will go out of their way to try and save you money if the opportunity arrives. Props to them!
10. Everyone was very friendly, professional.
My first experience at SB Tire and Service Center was great. When I discovered Big Brand Tires had closed, I diverted to SBTSC with a flat tire. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. Repair was on time and reasonably priced. I also appreciated quick and easy communication throughout. This place is good.
Amazing customer service from very pleasant and helpful staff.I had to drive a long way on my spare (long story) and simply went in to ask their opinion on the quality of the spare. Not only was their advice very helpful, but they insisted on re-torquing the lug nuts and checking the tire pressure, and refused to take any payment for it.Ill certainly make a point of stopping by here next time Im in the area and need tire work done!
Always great service! They’re are fast and very honest
The power window on my vehicle stopped working. I searched online and called Santa Barbara tires. Anabel answer the phone and was friendly and knowledgeable and was able to get me in right away. Cecilio, the manager was able to diagnose the problem, get the part I needed and I have it all installed in hours. I’m grateful that I did not have to leave my vehicle open overnight and the whole repair cost less than if I had gone to the dealership for the same repair.
After a relatively simple fluid change and tire swap, I had still a difficult project -- locate and install OEM parts for a 23 year old CRX del sol, and Omar at SB Tire and Service *tirelessly* helped me, and we eventually located a parts kit on ebay, which he put in the same day it arrived, and charged by AC for the second time, for free. Thanks omar! Ill be back for all my needs.
They have the best price and the best service. I needed a full set of tires for my Lexus. Jr. was very helpful arraigning the time. I was truly impressed on how well organize they are. I highly recommend them.
Found a screw in my tire and these guys were able to take care of it quickly and painlessly. Thanks so much for saving my day!
Sb tire has been working on my Cars for the past two years, and they will work on anything that comes in (literally) if there’s fixin to do they have it handled. Do not take your whip anywhere else cause these guys have it covered!
Great staff and service
Over many years SB Tire and Service Center has given me honest, thorough, knowledgeable, quick, and friendly professional service. Could not be happier! Would not even think of going anywhere else!
Awesome, thanks guys for taking care of my Jeep!
Always the best service and the nicest people! THANK YOU!
Convenient location and friendly knowledgeable people. Have always been able to get work scheduled within a reasonable time factor. Have taken all 3 of my vehicles here and all have been ready as promised or even earlier time wise with the work done satisfactorily.
Great service, fast and efficient. Helpful to recommend future service needs without being pushy. Will definitely be back!
This is a great locally known shop with reasonable prices. Whenever I need work done on any of my cars I have taken them here. The staff is well educated and helpful.
Wayne Duarte...awesome. I know nothing about engines. But Wayne took the time to open my hood and point out and help me understand what was up. Awesome.
Junior, Omar, and the rest of the team are incredible. I have gotten tires and breaks for both my Range Rover and my Land Rover LR4. Not only have they provided incredible service. They have also been very competitive in pricing. You combine that with honesty and reliability and you have a winning combo. For any service and an honest opinion, this is the best spot in town.
Made an online appointment for an oil change. Got the time I wanted and the task was done while I waited....with a cup of coffee, too! Reasonable prices, always treat me and my car right.
My family has been getting our cars serviced at SB Tire and Service for over 20 years. The service is outstanding and everyone the the SB Tire and Service team works hard to make sure your car is running properly. Unlike other car service shops, I know I’m getting an honest deal and that my car is in great hands. I highly recommend!
Good experience getting an oil change here, going back for additional services.
Honest, competitive, knowledgeable and friendly service! Switched to SB Tire and Service for tires and general service about a year ago. Could not be happier about my decision!
Junior, Wayne and the whole team are fabulous! Junior did my rear brake job when I called them because the wait at the dealer was very long. They took me in right away and did the job in less than an hour for 105.00 less than what the dealer was going to charge! Fabulous and honest service has always been my experience.
Amazing job on my tires! Without the knowledgeable staff, my alignment would have ruined my brand new tires which they noticed and fixed for me! They were very polite and quick! When you come in, ask for Jr! Hes got you!
Great experience here. Repaired my brakes for a reasonable price and went above and beyond to help me!
Really great and smooth experience. Called to make an appointment day of and was out within an hour. I would definitely recommend.
Great service and very fair pricing. Fast work too. Will return.
Got flat tire on rented car. Stopped in the morning at this service. Guys are great and very quick. Excellent service and prices! Very recommended.
The guys are great. I called giving them almost warning and they took me in and put on the Pirelli Run Flats right away, did the alignment with the AXXESS discount and had me on my way. Many thanks. Jerry
Junior is the best. I wanted to lift my Jeep with a lift kit, tires and wheels and Junior gave me spot-on advice, he was patient with me, and helped me understand my options. Junior gave me a great price, a high quality instillation, and it was completed in a timely manner. I highly recommend Santa Barbara Tire and Service.
Cecilio and his staff are always great. Never once have I stepped foot in this establishment and felt like I should be somewhere else. Thanks guys. Keep up the great work and the awesome customer service
Great place to buy tire and other auto mods. Friendly ppl n great coatumer service
I always get timely and friendly service, accurate estimates, and sincere help maintaining my older car!
Great place! I always get all of my tires and auto repair here, the staff is always friendly and their prices are very reasonable. I recommend this place to all of my friends and family!
Dont do it.... overpriced, try to sell you parts that are not needed and use scare tactics if the repair is declined. Leave cars in the red zone to be ticketed and dont take responsibility for the ticket. Wont cover things they break in the course of their repair but instead make you buy the part and charge for install. No warranties covered instead try to tell you that because the brakes are bad the muffler has to be replaced... some kind of bs story.
Great services!!! Thanks Omar
Junior is very personable. Theyre busy for a reason. They go above and beyond. Even in Santa Barbara there are Automotive Businesses who will try and have taken advantage of people who are cluless when it comes to automotive issues. Santa Barbara Tire ISNT one of them. They are my new spot for all my Automotive Needs. Next thing is some Sweet A$$ Rims 👍😁❤
They are always really nice and fully explain any question or concern I have. Even if its super busy they take the time to not only answer but make sure you fully understand everything. They will help narrow down what is truly needed and what can wait- something I greatly appreciate because I live paycheck to paycheck. Other places have made things seem dire and almost scared me into doing things I couldnt afford. That doesnt happen here. Im stressing the honesty thing because Im a girl that doesnt know much about cars and Ive been taken advantage of before. I keep coming back because I really do trust them to not sugarcoat or embellish anything just to make a sale.
Service is awesome! I recommend you to take your car here. They fixed my car right away. Quick and efficient.
My experience here was terrible. I have a SB Axxess card that offers 50% off oil changes with an appointment, so I made one a few days in advance. When I got there, they said the promotion does not apply to diesels, even though that is not mentioned in the offer. I asked how much it would be without the discount and they quoted me 50% more than what Im used to paying around town.Santa Barbara Tire and Service Center is overpriced and did not honor their promotion. I felt disrespected and lied to because of these poor business practices.
