LUCKLY…

*Warning: Avoid California Wheels and Tires at All Costs!* I'm writing this review to warn others about the appalling experience I had with California Wheels and Tires, specifically with the owner, DJ. This guy is dishonest, money-hungry, and shows zero regard for his customers' safety. I had a lift installed on my truck, but DJ maxed it out beyond safe specifications, breaking my shocks and axles. When I confronted him, he had the nerve to blame me for the problem. What's even more shocking is that he blocked my phone number, trying to avoid accountability. But here's the kicker: I took my truck to another reputable lift specialist, and they confirmed that DJ didn't…

Call this place to make sure I don't need an appt for an alignment. Didn't want to waste my time driving there. Get there just to be told they won't do my alignment cause they don't have time. Nice. So just like most of their reviews, this place love to lie to people and waste people's time. It's all good. If a place is incompetent of setting schedule to help people, then I wouldn't want them to work on my car anyways. It's a win for me.

Called them on a Monday asking for Toyo AT3s and was told I’ll get the whole set on Thursday. When I told them I was looking to get the Tires mounted onto my wheels before then, they were really helpful in getting things done a day earlier. Good customer service. However, upon inspection of the wheels when I got home, I noticed that two of them were scratched. Though they were small scratches, they were deep, permanent, and noticeable. I know they will get scratched eventually because I got them for off-roading, but I didn’t expect it to be scratched by a shop. The handling of my products by this shop was substandard.

I like this shop. Older guy here just as a hobby fixing up my 20 year old Tacoma 2WD. Sooo Cute. Took the baby in to have a 3" lift and new wheels and tires. They did a great job. After the alignment she drove straight and true. Not finished yet but a project in the making. Good job guys. Before and After pictures.
