Bruce's Tire & Auto, San Jose CA

Tony has been consistently honest and helpful whenever we’ve needed help with our vehicles. The team is hardworking and reliable - since our car is out of warranty, this is our go-to place for service!

Aside from a roof over your head and food on the table, one of life’s main necessities is a trustworthy auto shop. This shop just helped me feel secure and in peace that my child moving far for college will have a safe car. The are fast, efficient and the offer the beat price! I highly recommend this auto shop for your vehicle needs and most importantly.peace of mind.

Had to bring in my car for a nail in the tire. Somewhat of an emergency. The service was outstanding. They took care of me right away. Took out the nail and repaired the tire. I would highly recommend them.

I went shortly after they opened on a weekday (thanks for opening early) with a slow leak in one tire that had been bothering me for couple days. They mentioned that a couple cars were in front of mine, but accurately quoted about a 45 min wait, after which I was out the door with a patch in my tire. Price was fine. No hassle. Thanks!

Came here for tires quote. Took a while. They tried so hard to get me onto their store brand credit card tho…

They had a glitch on their computer and as a result didn't have the tires I ordered, but a worker made the trip special to get them. Good Hankook 225 50R16 for $138 per tire, $30 per install. Rest is taxes and Cali BS, so $379 for two tires. Waiting room with TV, coffee, and donuts. Bathrooms.
Very friendly service, highly recommend!

Would give 0 stars if I could. My 98 wrangler threw a P0301 code all of a sudden. I wanted to update my smog and register so had to get the cylinder 1 misfire fixed before taking it to smog check. I usually work on my cars and but this time around I was held up at work and needed to get things sorted on a time crunch so decided to take it to a well reviewed shop near me. Found Bruce's Tire and Auto.

I took it in and asked them to fix the P0301. I was told I would be charged 150$ to "diagnose" the issue. The issue was obvious but I agreed to the charge. I was told after they would diagnose and fix it in 2days.

4 days and 1300$ later, I picked up the Jeep and 0.5 miles from the shop, the vehicle the check engine light came on, the vehicle idled high at 2000 rpm and rode really rough. I called them back and they said come back tomorrow.

Next day morning I go in and the guy I was working with was out and the everyone bluntly refused to look at my car.

Was asked to come back the following Monday. Went back Tuesday cause work and basically was told to leave the car for a day. Got a call saying there is a bunch of new issues in the car and that they needed to bring the car back the following week for them to "diagnose" it again. A car that ran worse after paying 1300$ to fix it.

Came home, worked on it, swapped out a couple sensors, an IAC and voila everything was fixed.

This is probably a good shop to change tires. If you have any other issues, avoid it like the plague. They make it sound like they are diagnosing rockets when my wrangler is one of the simplest cars to work on. They upcharge you and are really frustrating to work with. Hopefully you save a few bucks from this review.

Never coming back.

Great service. Fast turnaround off of a walk-in. Alex helped me - he was so nice and knowledgeable. Price was transparent and fair. Juno was there too, I believe he is a manager. I had a great time chatting with Alex and Juno. Everything about this place seemed totally trustworthy and competent. Alex spotted stuff on my tires and brakes they never mentioned at my dealership, and he patiently explained what it all meant to me and what my options are. The mechanic who worked on my tire did a great job too though I don’t have his name. I would absolutely come back here. Highly recommend. This will be my go-to tire and brake spot from now on in the South Bay. Thanks guys

We had a flat tire when we came back from a trip and showed up to his shop first thing when they opened. They patched our tire in 20 mins! Tony was super helpful. Never had a better experience with a tire shop.

DO NOT go here! Horrible service. The manager charged me a different oil change than the one I asked. I told him 2 times I wanted the special offer and he ignored me. Horrible
