It's difficult to find a mechanic you can trust, but this places has them here with great leadership. My family has been coming here for the last 20 years (back when they were located in Campbell). Awesome communication, timely, and there digital portal (to see what parts need to be fixed with pictures) is a great use of tech.

Fair pricing, quick response and turnaround. Seemed to have the best interest of the customer at heart. Informed me of what was needed. Didn't do extra stuff or try to up-sell. Done on time as well.

I have been going to Tires Unlimited for about 6+ years now and they have not let me down once! No matter what request or car trouble I give them they always solve it quickly, efficiently, and most importantly economically. They are one of the most trustworthy auto shops in the area.

"Stress Free" auto care.... this is as close as is possible to get to a stress free mechanic/repair shop. I started patronizing Tires Unlimited when they were at the Kirkwood Center facility, and continue to take as much of my automotive maintenance issues to Gene and the team as they can handle. I contracted them…

I have been bringing my vehicles to Jeff and Gene for years. My daughter bought a new car a few years ago, and she finally needed new tires. I introduced her to Gene and now she’s part of the loyal customer group. Thanks again for a job well done. Steve O Willow Glen.
