HECTOR'S AUTO CARE & TIRES

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great service! They replaced my two rear tires quickly and did an excellent job. The price was lower than other places nearby, and the work was professional and fast. Plus, they’ve got two friendly shop cats and some cool dog graffiti on the wall — makes the place feel extra welcoming. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely the worst experience with tires ive had in 5 years Ill tell the whole story so you can think for yourself. On a sunday i hit a pothole on my car and my tire started leaking. I went to this place to replace my tire and they charged me a good price $60 HOWEVER. My rim was cracked and they COULDNT CARE LESS to tell me about it and just mounted the tire on my broken wheel (check video to see the wheel) About an hour later i get a tire pressure warning and im literally in santa monica area at that moment. I started driving back and i had to stop 4 times to fill it with air. The last time i stopped i was around 4 miles away from them and as i was pumping air, the crack grew and i heard a pop where all my leftover air went out and i couldnt get ANY pressure in the tire. I was like okay ill change it to my spare. I pull out my tools and spare and then as im taking off the wheel i realize these idiots rounded my lug bolt and i cannot take it off since it keeps spinning. I call the guy and say they messed up and i cant even take the wheel off and my air is gone and i have no idea what to do at this point. He “i swear to god” just cursed at me and said i dont care deal with it yourself. After trying for 30 more minutes. I even asked the guy who works in the gas station to try and take off the bolt. He said it’s impossible without extraction tools. I Had to call AAA TOW TRUCK. It was unbelievable. So here i am in the tow truck i cant even go to that shop again because they said they will not do anything to the tire and wont replace it. I drive to another shop and after they take off the wheel they show me the BIG crack and BIG flat spot on the wheel where i hit the pothole earlier. And said its not repairable at this point because i drove on it and it spread. (Again check the video) So i had to buy a new wheel for my car and just so you know its very rare and i couldnt find it new or used for a week (i work in auto industry so i can check inventory of all the junkyards in California) NOBODY had the wheel. I had to buy one off of facebook that was not even the right size. It was 8.5 width instead of 8 like it should be. And i had to buy a new tire too because it didnt fit on the new wheel. If i could id honestly give it 0 stars or even negative stars because i was out of work for 5 days as a delivery driver waiting and looking for a wheel. Riding my spare every day which is extremely unsafe. Please for the love of god do not go here. They have no idea what theyre doing and if they mess up. They will NOT take care of it. And cuss you out instead Please watch the video with the damage because its insane how they didnt tell me anything when mounting a new tire. Edit: your response is good and WOULD make sense if you even told me that its broken. I HAD NO IDEA AND YOU HAVENT TOLD ME ANYTHING. Okay and for example you said i only said tire and mounting but ANY reputable shop would say its unsafe to drive with a wheel like that. You make no sense and try to come up with an excuse. Its unsafe to drive like this and you acknowledged that you still mounted a tire on a wheel in this horrible condition. Anyways you are the worst

Yea i was there last sunday for a used tire. yes lighting fast service friendly guy but the product not as good. went in there past sunday for a used tired. i was not asked if that tired was ok for me from the start i saw the tire was already bad but i didnt think it was that bad. i saw it today has a big crack on it now i dont think this tire is worth $20 but since nothing else was open i kind of had not much of a choice. I will not be going to hectors tire place ever as they say live and learn. Check out the photo of the tire hectors tire sold me for $60

This may a hole-in-the-wall kinda place but this guy(Hector) was a life saver. I'm giving him my utmost respect for literally coming to my rescue. He delivered when no one else did or wanted to on a holiday weekend. He offered quick and friendly service. I highly recommend him. If you're in a jam and need emergency tire repair, he's the man you need to see. Oh, and by the way he also does brake service and oil changes for most vehicles. Check him out...👍👍👍🥂🍾

On eastern Sunday I had a flat tire. Hector’s tire shop was open. Other tire shops were closed because of the holiday. Great service and good hours.
