Labor rates across California vary by neighborhood and by shop type, from small independents to dealership service bays, and mobile mechanics now cover many routine jobs in the driveway. Before authorizing a repair, ask for the estimate in writing, whether the shop warranties parts and labor (12 months / 12,000 miles is common, some offer more), and whether it can provide a loaner or a shuttle. Check the listing for hours, the makes the shop works on and its Google rating, then call ahead, since walk-in capacity is limited at smaller shops.

Do NOT go here for tire service!! I ordered tires through Tire Rack, and chose Ianβs as my installer based on recommendations. They installed the tiresβ¦ but did not balance them, which I paid for!! So of course, my car rode terribly afterwards. Went to another shop to have the job done properly. Would avoid this place like the plague, unless you like shoddy work and getting ripped off.

These guys are shooting very nice. I was thinking of going to Costco in October for new tires, but Ian's treats you so well I plan on going here for my new tires even if it does cost me an extra $100. It becomes worth it to be treated well.

Bait and switch on pricing, avoid at all costs. I tried doing the local thing but will go to Costco instead. The price they give you over phone doesnβt include tire balancing, disposal etc.

I'm gonna say right up front: this story is hella embarrassing. But the dudes at Ian's Tire shop were so cool I have to share it. I was on a road trip from Norcal in a Honda Pilot we borrowed from my in-laws when a light came on in the dash. We were only in Santa Barbara for one night then we were gonna drive to Carlsbad and then back home a couple days later. I'm like omg... it's my FIL's car... I'm hundreds of miles from home... and I basically mixed up the "check engine light" (which this was NOT) with the "maintenance reminder" light (which this WAS). Not only did the dude at Ian's explain the difference to me over the phone (very patiently lol), he made time at opening the next day for me to drop in so he could look, assure me that the car was safe to drive, help me reset the timer on the reminder light and sent me on my way. Not only was this all free, he didn't laugh at me about it either (at least not til after I left haha which would be fair). I was stressed! They made my day. Swear to you they could have charged me a few hundred bucks EASY for swapping out some random part and I'd have been ecstatic. I would have paid for an hour of labor for turning the light off. Shows

Charged 50% more at check out than was quoted over the phone to install two tires and had to wait 25 minutes for my car to even be started on for my appointment. Have had a positive experience in the past but not this time.
