Benson Tire & Auto Service

I have appreciated this neighborhood auto service for the past few years until now. 8 months ago, I took my car to Benson & they informed me that my front boot was broken and that I needed both front axles repaired so I had Benson complete the job, which was $700. Then last month, I had taken in my car for a diagnostic at another Auto shop in Alameda. They informed me that my front boot was broken and that I needed both front axles repaired! I went BACK to Benson and let them know that they needed to be repaired again after less than 8 months. Well, the staff at Benson couldn't have been more disinterested in my concern. The person insinuated I was driving in a way where I broke them again, keep in mind I have record I drove 5K miles in 8 months and that axles can last up to 80K miles and no, I'm not an aggressive driver who speeds over potholes...The front desk person told me I was "stressing her out" and there was no attempt for this faulty service. Did Benson ever replace my ax

I called ahead and they said they could help me with my tire and that they were open until 6. I arrived at 4:30 and they were closed and shut down. Nobody answered the phone. So just be aware of your timing. I returned on saturday and they were very fast and courteous in fixing my tire.

I had a slow leak. On the phone, they said I could come in immediately. Fixed the leak in 15 minutes. Very friendly staff and fairly priced.
