Big Joe’s Tire Shop

Had an emergency on the freeway with gett8ng a tire punctured. They fixed our tire fast and efficiently and we were back on the road within 10 minutes (maybe less). Great service and kind.

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Unsafe Service, Unprofessional Conduct, and Improper Tire Repair Practices To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally complain about the service my son and I received at Big Joe's Tire Shop. What should have been a straightforward tire replacement turned into an extremely frustrating, stressful, and concerning experience. When we arrived, it appeared that only one young employee was working on our vehicle. During the repair process, it became obvious that he did not have the proper tools necessary to complete the work correctly. As a result, one of my lug nuts became stripped and damaged. The situation became even worse when the damaged lug nut had to be broken off in order to proceed with the repair. Because of this, I am now left with additional expenses that should never have occurred. I now have to replace the damaged lug nut and potentially the wheel stud that was affected during the process. These are costs that I believe resulted directly from improper service and a lack of proper equipment. Throughout the repair, I simply wanted to ensure that my son and I would be able to safely drive home. Instead of addressing my concerns professionally, the employee became increasingly aggressive, rude, and disrespectful. As a paying customer, I should never be made to feel like asking questions about my family's safety is an inconvenience. The situation became even more concerning because dogs were allowed to roam freely around customers. My son has previously had a traumatic experience involving a pit bull and is extremely uncomfortable around unfamiliar dogs. The presence of loose dogs created unnecessary stress and anxiety for him during an already difficult situation. Businesses serving the public should maintain a safe and controlled environment for customers, especially children. Additionally, while our vehicle was being worked on, other vehicles arrived for service. Despite the fact that we were there first, the employee repeatedly stopped working on our vehicle and began servicing other customers. This significantly extended our wait time and left us feeling that our time and business were not valued. I also have concerns regarding the pricing practices. We were charged for the replacement tire and then charged a separate fee to balance the tire. In my opinion, balancing a replacement tire should be considered part of the installation process. Separating these charges appears to be an unnecessary add-on cost and raises concerns about transparency in pricing. Customers deserve to understand exactly what they are paying for and why. My concerns can be summarized as follows: Damage to my lug nut and wheel stud due to improper tools and repair procedures. Additional repair costs that I now must pay because of the damage caused during service. Aggressive, disrespectful, and unprofessional customer service. Loose dogs around customers, creating safety and comfort concerns. Delays caused by repeatedly stopping work on our vehicle to service later-arriving customers. Questionable pricing practices regarding tire balancing fees. Failure to provide a professional and customer-focused experience. As a father, my primary concern was getting my son and myself home safely. Instead, we left feeling frustrated, disrespected, and concerned about the condition of our vehicle. I am requesting a formal response regarding this matter, including an explanation of how the damage occurred and what steps Big Joe's Tire Shop intends to take to address these concerns. I also request consideration for reimbursement of any costs associated with repairing the damaged lug nut and wheel stud. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, Dan Schroeder

I phoned to see if they could check the tires on my 25' Class C RV -- a couple of them look a little low so I want to make sure there isn't a slow leak, and to have them inflated if that's the only thing needed. Easy question, right? Too bad the guy that answered the phone sounded like I'd woken him up, and after I asked if they could look at it, there was a dead silence for a few seconds then a slow, semi-conscious "Whaaat? What do you need?" Got the feeling he was completely stoned at 7am, though they were supposedly open. Lost my trust instantly.

I've been here twice now. The guys are friendly and fast. They do great work. The used tires are in great shape. Prices were decent. I'm glad they're here. They also do semi tires it seems.

Big Joe tire shop was very friendly and got the job done whatever it takes and they are not too expensive I recommend it
