Firestone Complete Auto Care

I drive south from San Clemente because I prefer the Oceanside dealer. I had a recommendation from a friend several years ago and he wasn’t wrong. My only concern with being honest on the review is that if everybody else finds out how good they are the staff will be so booked I’ll never be able to get another appointment. They have a fast, friendly and efficient shop with a large waiting area equipped with plenty of sports channel if you feel like hanging out, but my favorite part is the coffee shops nearby. Then a staff member will call you when your car is ready for pick up. Too easy.

I have been going to Firestone for 20 years with all my cars. The past 2 years however, I have relearned the importance of getting 2nd and 3rd quotes for the services you need. My wife hit a pothole today and the tire went flat. AAA put on the spare and she went to Firestone. She was told her the tire was beyond repair due to the shape of the hole. Then she was told the tread was too low and she needed four new tires. I’m sure it was recommended out of caution. Then I took it to San Diego Motoring. They examined the tire and said they could repair it for $20. Their recommendation on the tire tread was that we had another 12 months or so before the tires needed to be changed. Don’t forget to get your 2nd opinion before making a decision.

Cody was awesome. We are here visiting and our splash shield was giving us issues. He got us in and out within 10 minutes, positive energy and overall fantastic experience in an otherwise potential stressful one. Thank you again Cody, we really appreciate you!
