Amato Tire & Brake is a trusted name in the southern Orange County auto repair industry. In business for 32+ years, they stick true to what they know, honest service for fair prices. Operated by the Father and Son, you cant go wrong getting a quote from Amato Tire & Brake today! Whether you need an oil change, tire or a new transmission, they will get the job done. Conveniently opened Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Very accommodating, never a wait, quick in and out door and back on the road in no time, always. And for me, time is money. I love these guys! Competitive prices and a convenient location. I wouldn't conceive of going anywhere else for tires, wheels, suspension, brakes, or alignment.
Amato Tires was super caring and took fantastic care of me and my tires would 10/10 recommend to everyone to get tires and repairs done here!! STELLAR service!!!
These guys really saved me. We're in town for vacation this weekend and the tire pressure indicator light came on as I was driving in Mission Viejo. Stopped as soon as I could and found that one of the tires was losing air in a hurry. I got to a gas station and aired it up as much as I could and beelined for the nearest tire place, which was Amato. They had the tire fixed up in around an hour, which I felt very fortunate about, especially on a Saturday.
Most of the negative reviews on here make these people seem like they're rude because they're short with their words. It's a mechanic shop, not a therapist's office. I swear, SoCal sun fried some of these reviewers' brains so here's my honest two cents review. I have had Amato's service my pickup truck multiple times for water pump replacement, then oil change then front brake replacement. Every time, I got the service I needed. They were okay with me bringing in parts I preferred on my vehicle because I wanted OEM parts but the dealership wanted me to wait to inspect it even though the water pump was hanging on for dear life. On one occasion two years ago right before Christmas, the dealership I used to take my vehicle to had a NINE DAY wait time to change a water pump but they had the part. (Even though the mechanics were sitting around twiddling their thumbs cracking jokes with the sales reps and auto parts associate pretending they were busy, while cars were sitting on the lifts). So I bought parts there and brought them to Amato's. That's how I discovered this shop. I think most people assume they only do tires because of the name but you should know they do great work all around. Whenever I'm in in SoCal I bring my truck to them for oil change or whatever else I need. Highly recommended.
I want to update my review, on JR, and the crew. First class service, very professional,, These awesome guys have been working on my truck forever 20 years. I would never go anywhere else! I highly recommend👍
Highly recommend coming to Amato tire. Very friendly staff as well as super cool owner who cares about his customers. Will definitely bring more business to this establishment. Thanks for the help!!
These guys are second to none. I've had tires replaced on a few of my cars and I always bring my business to them. I used to go to Tucker tire but Amato has better prices and better service. I"m a veteran and the owner is patriotic and enjoys having conversations with clients who come in. He's got a great sense of humor as well. Thanks again for the great customer service.
100% recommend Amato tire for auto service and repairs! The guys there are amazing and friendly! Especially Junior. He helped me get my van running within the day! This shop does amazing work, quick and reliable. With prices the dealership could never beat. My dog even loves this experience!
Amato Tire was wonderful to us! We had car issues from out of town. Junior at Amato Tires and the team (specifically Angel) helped assess and fix our tires in that moment. We were able to go back the following morning and had it fixed within 2 hours so we didn t have to spend days of our vacation waiting. They are very professional, efficient, and affordable. Definitely recommend for anyone!!!
Great prices, fast work, service is fast and honest. Guy that works there made me feel like he was really trying to help.
Exactly what I paid for and quick.
Great service
This place is awesome 10 minutes.They fix my tire and im back on On the freeway.
Local family owned. Fair prices, quick service and a better alternative to the big guys.
What a great deal. Thanks Junior for the tires and quick install.
One of the few honest mechanics around...... thanks Robert and Junior!
The place is very casual, friendly and reasonably priced. I guess you get what you pay for... Asked for an alignment. When received the car from the wheel alignment the steering wheel wasnt straight. Returned the few minutes later and asked them to do a little correction, which of course they were happy to do. After receiving the car the second time, the steering wheel was still off to the left a few degrees. Slightly embarrassed, but I returned again and asked them for a second correction. They put the car on the pad immediately, although the guy was questioning me, saying when he was driving it, the steering wheel looked straight to him. This time I was watching the so-called mechanic who only adjusted the left side of the tire rod end. Needless to say, my steering wheel is still pointing to the left a few degrees when Im driving straight. But more importantly, they proved the incompetence with adjusting only one side of the tire rod, which is screws up their own alignment. I also did not receive any printed out paperwork from the performed alignment improvement/difference. Wasted time and money.
Horrible service. They were rude and upset that I would not purchase tires from them. I paid for a patch on my tire, drove out of the shop and my tire light went off again. They did not patch my tire and took my money. They fixed the tire in 6 mins?
Ive been buying tires from Jr at Amato for almost 2 decades now. Very reliable, honest, and fairly priced.
My husband and I have been coming here since we moved to the area about four years ago. Prices are more than fair and the shop owner always goes over and beyond to work within our budget for whatever we need done. There is almost always same day availability and the work is completed quickly and done perfectly. Definitely will keep coming back for any and all car repairs and maintenance. Thank you!
My experience with them has been purely in a professional capacity. No issue there. I deliver parts to them. My 5 star review is for the owners amazing and hilarious responses to the cry babies who leave bad reviews . It s refreshing to see a business owner clap back instead of just apologizing and capitulating every single time. Well done sir.
The best in Orange County. Fair pricing and trustworthy
Customer service, or shall I say lack of customer service lol BEWARE... Plenty of shops doing good work out there , and actually appreciate new business. Wake up son
Called Amato tire on a Friday morning when I realized I had a persistent slow tire leak and got seen within minutes despite a busy day. Lucky for me it was a patch job. Efficient, capable service and techs. Thank you for getting me back on the road!
WARNING.... drove the car to Amato tire just fine. Next day went to retrieve it and it wouldnt start. Junior wouldnt/didnt do anything about it. He was so rude and unprofessional. I wouldnt recommend this place not even to an enemy
If you need your tire patched go to American tire co big o tires etc they do it for free not worth paying for it here.
Efficient service and the owner Rob went the extra yard on helping me get through as quickly as possible!
Trustworthy and fast. The hooked it up and were super friendly. This is your spot for tires, new and used, alignment and new homies.
The owner helped us on a holiday! It was super kind of him to get us going since we had a 7 hour journey and couldn t have made it on the spare tire. Thanks for showing us kindness during the holidays!
Yesterday I had a tire blow out on the freeway and the gentleman came to me and saved my day I had my toddler with me he was quick and reasonable price would recommend to anyone who needs tires to go to them so friendly too thank you again for saving my day
had a bad experience with this company, guys, business with customers doesnt work like that!!! I announced one price on the phone when paying, he takes more without explanation. I replaced summer tires for four seasons after replacing the rims, they leaked air. I warned that I would return for summer tires. When I returned, two wheels were missing. I feel that I was cheated and robbed in one day. !!! it was a horrible day!! Terrible service, they were very rude to me, do not recommend, never again
We had an amazing experience with Amato Tire! The customer service exceeded above and beyond, very kind and understanding. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality and excellent service.
The owner has several adds on Craigslist and offer up. He will give you an address near the shop then and then tell you to go across the street to the tire shop and ask for Jose. The tires are unsafe and they sell them to people instead of disposing.This is a criminal offense.
Youve got to love a family-owned business like this. I got a leak rolling through Pendleton, so I stopped at a large chain with and they told me that the puncture was too close to the sidewall to try to repair. It was in the tread far enough that it actually wasnt in the sidewall. I came to Amato and they took the time, and it did not take them long, to take the tire off and check. Turns out the object was too big. They had a fairly rare like-tire in stock, put it on, balanced it, and I was back on the road in almost the amount of time that it took me to get the previous opinion (with the tire still on the car) at the national chain. They are definitely at the top of my list for my next set of tires, even though theyre a ways away from home. Ill be more than happy to pull off the 5 and enjoy their excellent service again.
Had my check engine light come on yesterday as I was driving to work. I did all the checks as per the Quick start guide, that did nothing, today (04/05/2022) got up extra early and headed out to Amato Tire, spoke with Rob Jr ( Jr) he did a reset of codes, all good, Then had an oil change. I always feel that the service that Amato Tire provides, is fair, reasonable. And they always help with tips. Have had all my car serviced here, wont go elsewhere.
I must say Im very impressed with these guys! Especially Junior, he was able to get me a tire put in my car last minute an hour before closing. He even got me a band-aid and ointment as I cut my dirty hands on The wire from the blown tire. Thanks so much!!
Best auto shop Ive ever been to! Im a loyal customer for over 7 years because they are honest, fair, and do great work. I highly recommend Amato Tire.
Missed my appointment to install a new tire. Came in, they got it done in like half an hour while busy. Fast work.
After being told by 3 other shops that I would have to wait at least 4 hours to get a nail removed and my tire patched I called Amato. They said bring it in and they had me in and out in about 30 minutes on a Friday afternoon around 2:30.The difference was Amato seemed much busier than the other shops. The other difference was their employees were hustling and working hard non stop. The other 3 shop seemed like they were 1/2 comatose and waiting for quitting time. I had them quote me a price for tires on the wifes car and it came out less expensive than ordering on tire rack and going through all the hassle. I just found my new go to place for tires!
These guys are great! Fast, friendly, and efficient! Wonderful experience!
Junior always does an excellent job. Trust him with all of my cars. He s honest, prices are fair, and most of all I feel comfortable and confident leaving my car in his hands. He has a lot of experience and knows what he s doing.
I trust these guys and I think they have more reasonable prices than the other shops in this area. And they have always been pretty quick when I go to them.
My family has been a customer for over 20 years. Always good service. Today just stopped by for a tire repair and they fit me in and fixed it quickly. Thanks Junior. UPDATE 11-14-22. Once again Amato tire comes to the rescue. My wife went to a fast lube place to get her oil changed and they had difficulty getting the oil filter off. In trying to get it off they mangled it and made it even more difficult. I told her to have them stop to prevent more damage. I had it towed to Amato and Junior was able to get it off and they put a new filter and oil. Dont trust your vehicle with any chain automotive shop. They dont have the experience to fix your car and they can damage it. I will always go to Amato. Thanks again Junior.
Do not go here worst experience ive ever had with a mechanic. 2 thumbs way down.False diagnostics and rude customer service. No respect for other peoples money. Had me replace all the shocks with never test driving it and it wasnt even the problem.
I called to ask how much it would cost to replace my break pads. The man on the phone was so rude and interrupted me while I was talking. I told him he was being very rude and that I would just call somewhere else and he said no worries bye. My spouse works across the street from this place. I cant believe how little interest they had in a new client.
Very good place very nice specially the manager ! the mechanic also
Fixed both of my 05 Porsche Cayenne turbo runs Cherry now would highly recommend this shop / Amato tire and everything
These guys are unbelievable. I took my van in cause the steering wheel was shaking and in no time they tested it and gave me a solution. Very afordable as well and straight to the point no bs. Even gave me a follow up call. Fantastic.
Was able to get in same day and my car was fitted quickly with new tires. Highly recommend.
Not outgoing and even werent trying to help me.
Love this place for tires and repairs! Honest and reasonable with prices!
Fantastic shop! Professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. Needed a quick turnaround, they came through even after the tire distributors delivered the wrong tires. Would absolutely take my car here again!
Great place... great owners... been dealing with Rob for over 25 years.
They go above and beyond what you would expect.
Horrible place, rude service, the larger man in front sold my husband the wrong size tire ( after being given the van to be worked on) and said we didnt have that exact size but this is close enough it was a tire a size bigger. He wouldnt fix it or refund the money! Do not go to this place
Super comfortable waiting couch and the service was chill and good. We just needed a tire patch but still overall really good to have the help quick and easy
Have been dealing with Junior for years. Hes my Dr. for my Nissan. Thank you!
Hard workers and truthful about my vehicle.
Good prices and fast service .
We decided to go on a drive from San Diego and our car started shaking badly. After checking that one of our tires was tearing, i started calling any tire shops near me to avoid getting stranded going home. On labor day of course at 3:45pm everybody is closed but i appreciated the call back. Asked if i could get my tired replaced now & after 25 minutes it was fixed! I definitely appreciated he went out of his way, even though they were already closed, to do this for my husband and I when we most needed it. He was very nice & kind as well. Customer service like that is 5 star review worthy!
Best Tire & Brake in town. Thank you.
I would give Amato Tire 10 stars . Christmas Eve I realized I had a nail in my front tire. I called a few tire places but no one could help. But when I called Amato Tire Rob picked up and said he could repair my tire the next morning. I said it s Christmas Day you would do that. And he said yes I m here to help. I called the next morning and Rob gave me a time to meet at the tire shop. This wasn t a big repair and it took 20minutes. Rob went above and beyond and out of his way to help me and I am so incredibly thankful for his generosity. I have purchased tires in the past at Amato Tires and hands down this will be my only go to tire place in Laguna Hills. Cheers to Rob you are amazing!
This is the most honest tire shop in the area. The team at Amato Tire is extremely professional and gave me a great value on my tires and brakes. The service was done quickly. I would 100% recommend.
My son referred me to Amato Tire and I just cant say enough about them. They are friendly and very knowledgeable, patiently answering all my questions. Even went the extra mile for me and fixed my tail lights. Amato Tire is my go-to place for great quality service & low prices.
Great place to shop for tires, fast friendly service
Its a regular tire and brake shop.
Ive been bringing my cars to these guys since moving to the area 8 years ago. They have always been able to help me out with tires, to brakes and everything in between. They are also very affordable which is hard to find these days. If your car needs some help, go see Junior and tell him Tyler sent you, you wont be let down.
Not sure Ive posted on here before for Amato Tires but lets just say weve been getting our tires from here for decades despite all the input, suggestions, recommendations everyone and their mom like to give with prices, service, options, etc...I have yet to have reason to change. 3 generations of Amatos and Randalls and we are still allowed to come back
Always honest, always a good value.
Friendly service, expert advice and good prices. How much more can you ask for?
Great prices, very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Thank you, Junior! You ve earned my future business.
Ive been going to Amato Tire & Brake for decades. It is a family-run business, they do great work, more than just tires and brakes - they do complete auto care for an honest price. I feel very lucky to live close to this neighborhood auto shop that I know I can rely on and count on.
Junior is the bomb! Fair prices.. Anna the blind cocker spaniel keeps everything real... In and out speedy fast...
In my experience, very fair, very honest
Great service.
Great, competent, and friendly service. I saved over 40% of what I would have spent at COSTCO!
Great mechanics, quick and honest service
Excellent prices. They are very honest there! JR is very amazing!!
Short and simple: Fast, professional, clean, and great prices. I recommend them for all tire needs!
I went in for an oil change, the owner took me right in. He was friendly, honest & spot on, on time. He told me 30 minutes, so l decided to take a walk. I set my timer to walk 15 minutes then turn around. I walked in and my car was ready. He also told me what to expect for my next visit
They had some used tires for my beater car. Good price and quick install
Great work and very professional. Good $$.
Quick service but 20 bucks for a tire repair was a little high
Amato Tire is fantastic! I have been impressed with this auto shop. I have been going here for years...No up charging, no unnecessary service not yet needed. Received multiple oil changes, tire replacements at a FRACTION of the cost of a dealership!
Got a puncture in my Pirelli runflat tire. Manufacturer wanted to sell me a $400 tire so I tried to go to Tucker tire but the line was out the door and they wanted to plug the tire. Amato patched the tire with no wait, they had me in and out faster than it took to talk to the counter guy at Tucker, and it was only $30.
Had to pay over the phone for my lady friend and nothing but smooth sailing. Good people
Excellent service and price
Excelente Customer Service. Will be returning there next time we need tires.
Quick service, just what you need and a fair price.
These guys have kept my old Mercedes alive (330,000 miles) for two years now with the best service at the cheapest price. I recommend them highly....
A great find. Consistently reliable work done here, very good pricing, and reputable, they do stand behind their work. We have used them over 10 years now, Amato has been our source for maintenance, brakes, tires, oil changes, and repair work. Amato did a great job adding performance suspension to our FJ Cruiser. Nice guys too!
Great all around auto repair place. Great at what they do, friendly service, and they stand behind their work.
This place is great I got an awesome deal for a set of tires the owner is friendly and workers are very efficient. They did exactly what they promised and I came from Los Angeles for a deal I could not get anywhere close to my house. Amato Tires is definately the place to go for tires if you are in the O.C
Great service even on Saturday
Very friendly. Very honest. I have been going there for years and they never cheat you. Amazing workers and owners. I will always go there.
Fast, good service
I have been taking my cars to Amato for years. I am a single woman and it is the ONLY place I feel like I do not get the she wont know rip off game. I am actually always surprised at the price, being lower than I expected. Two months ago I made a terrible mistake, I had a long trip to take and I brought my car to Fletcher Jones for a total check-up. The car was running fine - always has. But FJ told me it needed serious work, the price was higher than the value of the car! I chose to change hoses, and do 2 or 3 other things they suggested... and took off on a 2000 mile trip. My car stalled, over-revved, and felt like it was on ice the whole time. I drove straight to Amato and now it feels like I have a sturdy, solid, muscle car again. As long as Amato is around I feel safe about the condition of my car. I drive 1000 miles each week, it is very important to me. They are honest and do great work.
I was referred to them by a friend who works for a local car dealership a few years ago and they have always been straight forward, honest and do good work! They save me a ton of money on oil changes and service that the dealership would gouge me. I have seen them for years and wont ever change!
I took my car to Amato on 07/14/15 to get a front end alignment. I took with me a coupon (they had on their website) for a front end alignment for $29.99. I arrived about 1:50 p.m. I was asked if I wanted a 4 wheel alignment. I accepted, as most people would. However, it seems the coupon didnt apply. I paid $69 for a 4 wheel alignment, which is still competitive and better than the Dealer. What impressed me was the service. When I arrived, I was told that everybody was at lunch, and I was asked if I could wait an hour and a half. (I thought it was strange for an entire crew to be gone at 2:00 p.m. for lunch?) Since I was already there, I agreed to wait. Well, somebody didnt take lunch because my car was done and delivered by 2:20 p.m. So, all in all, I waited only 1/2 hour.
I bought a set of Goodyear Asymmetric F1 tires for my Audi from Amato Tire and Brake about a month ago. These are high performance tires and hard to come by. Their prices were very fair but more importantly their customer service was EXCEPTIONAL! This past Sunday I got a nail in the tire which caused me to get a flat on the I-5. I called Amato knowing they were closed on Sunday but praying that someone might be in the shop and help me out. Who says prayers dont get answered? Rob (the owner) picked up the phone. He happened to be there doing a favor for someone on his only day off. Even though it was late, he gave me his cell phone number and told me to call him and he would meet me to fix the tire. Sure enough, I called him, and on the day they are closed, he opened the shop and fixed my tire. That my friends is the long lost art of customer service. Im extremely grateful for the help when I was in a tough spot. They have made a customer for life and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs their car serviced or a new set of tires.
theyve always been nothing but courteous and polite to me. Ive been using a Amato tire for at least 4 years now and refer all my friends there great prices great people.
The staff at Amato are great, they are up front with you and always make a great effort to do the work correctly and with a smile. Ive gone to them a dozen times and have had nothing but good results. I drive a Mercedes Benz CL65 and love their service. :) :)
We have been going to Amato for years and always have had the best service. They are the best!
