Great team here. Fast and were able to get my wife a new rim very quickly after she broke it while driving on a flat tire trying to get to safety. Prices were good and service was pro.

Let me just say a few things that impressed me. The final price turned out to be lower than their initial quote, which was a rare experience. At the bottom line, this is a sign that there is probably no rip-off at this place. (They explained to me why but I didnt fully understand - which didnt matter.) And both of these prices are about half the quote that I initially got from a nearby dealership, which I declined because it seemed excessively high. Lastly, after getting all the service, I inquired about a scratch that my car got some time ago, and Rick took his time to scrub it off using wax. They sure know how to care, attract, and impress customers. Would definitely come back when I need to.

Couldnt be happier.Was quoted an hour and a half for oil change, smog, tire rotation, and tire patch. Was in and out within an hour.

First time at this oil change provider. Brought Good Times coupon for $24.95.Asked for and received tire pressure check.Quick service. Technicians explained the procedure well.Unfortunately, my Toyota requires special oil which brought the total to $65.00

Review №22

This place tried to rip me off. I had been a customer here for over 15 years. I went for a smog check but failed due to the “visual inspection.” The tech told me I had an exhaust leak and likely needed my manifold replaced, a $500 job. I took the car to my regular mechanic who told me that there was a minor crack in the manifold but that he didn’t see why it would cause a failed test. I took it to another smog place and passed fine. This place has now lost a long time loyal customer due to trying to tip me off. I will never go back.

Review №23

This is my 2nd review to a business, first one is to my amazing hairdresser :) I started taking my vehicle to Auto Express for an oil change. It’s fast, convenient and the experience has always been great. I recently purchase new tires as well. When my check engine light came up, I didn’t hesitate to take my car to an auto shop I trust. They fixed the problem and I was back on the road the same day. Without a doubt, I will be going back for oil change, new tires and any other car issues. Thank you for the efficient and thorough service!

Great service. I bought 4 new tires. Great price for tires and labor. They arrived the next day, I dropped my car off and they called me back in an hour, even put my spare tire back on my crank. Do all my oil and transmission flushes here too. Quality company. I wont go anywhere else.

I have been a customer with Auto Express Tire Pros for years and have NEVER been disappointed. Over the last 15 years I have had 6 different vehicles serviced by them and I have always been impressed with the quality of work big or small. They have always been extremely fair with pricing and afforded me different options whenever possible to fit my needs as a customer. I also lime the fact that they get the job done fast. This place is the best! Thanks to Paul and the guys.

Review №33

If there was a choice of six stars I would pick that. The five stars going towards their great work, their efficiency, their knowledge towards what they are doing and explaining that to you because were all not mechanics and sometimes wanna know more, and finally their appreciation to have you as a customer. Most places just want to shuffle you in and out and focus on the dollar but here it was different. That sixth star if I could have picked that option would go towards their hospitality. To many businesses whether it be a auto body shop or a restaurant lack this key trait, but not here and not Paul. Thank you guys for all your work and kindess. Go see these guys you will know and feel that your cars in great hands.

I’ve been using Auto Express Tire Pros for over 5 years now. They have excellent customer service, complete the work in a timely manner, and explain the work done in way you can understand.I tried several other mechanic and auto service company’s before I found them. But I won’t be looking any further.When I had an urgent matter that was going to require more than a day’s work, they even loaned me a car to get myself and my soaking wet German shepherd home. These guys are great.

I have been a loyal customer at Auto Express Tire Pros for at least ten years and they have never disappointed me. Whether its just a fast oil change or mechanical problems or a major tune-up, they have always been friendly, polite and professional in dealing with me. Their mechanics are fantastic. I have no plans to look elsewhere! Paul and Rick really know how to run a business.

Auto Express is the BEST! I took my Ford Ranger to them for all services, for almost two decades. And now I take my new Subaru Crosstrek for her warranty checks. I trust them entirely to keep my vehicle road-worthy and recommend them without hesitation. Thanks especially to Paul and Rick with whom I have developed such a trusting and caring relationship after all these years.Vicki Noble

I love this place! The people who work here are all excellent -and they have very little turn around in employment (which says a lot). I not only get oil changes FAST and reasonably priced but I’ve gotten tires and other mechanical stuff done and they’ve always gave me a deal and fixed my car correctly the first time! Highly recommended!!!

Paul and his team have helped me care for several cars over many years. We have developed a trust and familiarity that gives me confidence that mechanical problems can be solved with a minimum of discomfort. The guys find me a loaner, keep me informed as work progresses, offer guidance and get me back on the road asap. I am grateful to have this connection and friendship, and I feel appreciated as a loyal customer.Thank you!

Review №53

I went for an oil change. I saw one technician seriously spit on the back of my car for no reason while another tech chuckled. Creepy. Although I got a response on this post to check the business, Im positive this is where I went. I changed my review from one star to two since it was really just the one tech but the service was fine and everyone else seemed OK.

I have always had excellent service at Auto Express. Paul and his staff are always so friendly and professional. Their express oil change its so convenient.

These guys are all awesome. I like the fact that they have had the same guys working there for years. The loyalty says something to me. They always stand by the work they have done and follow up if need be. They do a great job every time and they care about the quality of their work. They give sound advise. I have no complaints. Every time I have taken my car for work someplace else I have regretted it and wished that I had gone to Auto Express.

Review №58

I found the TirePros staff to be attentive, professional and very responsive. I dropped in without an appointment and they recommended some preventive maintenance that needed to be done. They got me in and out very quickly including getting some parts for me. I will use them from now on. My second experience was an urgent problem with my Electronic Computer Module quitting on my 10 year old Corolla. Once again, they demonstrated a commitment to making this process go as well as could be expected and went the extra mile for me.

Review №62

Last week I came over the hill with a clicking sound in my rear tire. By the time I got home the tire pressure warning light was illuminated. After re-inflation by AAA, I drove directly to Auto Express for evaluation. Since the tire had a big bolt right next to the sidewall I needed a new one. The guys showed me the problem then helped me find a new tire since my Volt had no spare and its current tires are no longer manufactured. It took some digging to get me rolling again but Auto Express helped me get the best solution possible. Professional, friendly, and very courteous staff. Go there!

I have been going to Auto Express for over 15 years, since moving to the Aptos area. As a single woman, I was always concerned that I would be taken advantage of regarding auto repairs/parts. This was most certainly not the case at Auto Express. I was and am always treated fairly, honestly and professionally. I am always welcomed by Paul, Rich, Pete and Dino.I have referred others to them and cannot imagine trusting any other group of people to service my car. Plus, they always had dog treats for my Sammy!Thanks so much, guys!!Anne Young

Review №72

I went in for a smog test, and although they dont take appointments, I was lucky and no one was in line. So in about 25 minutes I was out the door with all the paper work complete. The price is appreciably lower than the standard prices charged at most gas statins. I mistakenly thought the price quoted was even lower than I had to pay, and when I mentioned it in a response to how well was my experience, Paul offered to refund the difference. NOW thats good service. I will be back.Bob Schmidt

Review №76

They seriously charged me $220 for oil change, tire rotation, and transmission flush. Ive been here a few times before and theyve never charged for the tire rotation, so seeing a $70 charge for parts and labor was a shock. They also charged me full price for the oil change and didnt give me the coupon discount. Seems like upcharging is the new thing. I was a regular because they USED to have the best prices, but I definitely wont be back after this.

Review №85

Terrible experience! I and my family have been going here for quite some time, and service has been going downhill. It seems that once they gain your confidence, they feel they can take advantage of you. My sister was actually told by one of their employees that tires are supposed to lose air! She went there with low tire pressure multiple times and they did nothing even with a warranty. Regarding engine problems, they repeatedly misdiagnosed the issue, taking our money to unnecessarily replace parts. We finally took our business elsewhere, as it seems they reward customer loyalty with deception.

Went in for an oil change on a coupon, received no pressure to upgrade the oil or have to deal with any hidden costs. They did discover a CV boot torn and leaking, gave me a very fair price to replace it, they even had an open bay to do it right then. Out the door in a few hours. Thank you!
