Wayne’s Tire and Auto Repair

DON’T COME HERE (esp if you’re a woman)!!! They try to rip you off by pretending to be nice.
They (specifically the manager, Miguel or Manuel) tried to scare me by saying that I need to change my tires (total around $ 600) and a rim (around $ 150) otherwise my tires might «pop out.» They tried to show how and why I should get the change.
I got scared and was somewhat touched by the fact that they tried to educate me. I’m a woman and usually drive alone at night between SLO and the Bay Area. I was willing to pay for the repair if it were necessary.
HOWEVER, I found out from other other repair shops that I DID NOT need to change the tires and need to only change the rim. OMG I was so relieved! I saved around $ 600.

They had replacement valve stems for my tractor and Rod the manager even loaned me his water-​fill attachment without even asking my name. I will be back when it’s time to buy tires. Thank you.

My tire pressure light came on, come to find out it was a nail in the tire. They were able to fix while I was on my lunch at no charge. Much appreciated.

Very helpful, unfortunately it did take quite a bit longer than they said but in the end I appreciated their help and I will go back! …after all they fixed my car!

Very nice guys here! I have gotten several oil changes here and recently had to go in for leaking grease from my front end. They gave me a discount and recommended the Unilocal discount as well, very satisfied with their custom service and auto skills.

Amazing service. My daughter is in school in San Luis Obispo and Rod and his crew at Wayne’s Tire have been amazing for oil changes, and all repairs. Very honest, reliable and great service.

I had limited time to get new tires before I had to pickup the kids. Wayne’s Tire stepped up by squeezing me in and got my tires changed very quickly. With coastal Peaks Coffee just across the street and Wayne’s friendly attitude and quality service, you cannot go wrong! Free tire rotation and air, and fair prices for oil changes every 5000 miles. I’ve had two sets of tires purchased here for our Honda Civic and Toyota 4Runner. Both times our service was quick and easy, tires were in stock.
Thanks Wayne’s! We are customers for life.

These guys are great! Took my car in for an oil change and it was super quick and painless! Thanks Rod and crew!

OMG – I was on a road trip with my kids and without my husband when my tire light came on. I was terrified. I have no knowledge of cars. A local gas station referred me to Wayne’s tires. I went there when they opened one morning last week. They were so nice and said that they would check all of my tires. It turned out that they just were very low on air. One of the workers even gave me a free gauge to check my tires, and showed me how to work it when I told him I had no idea. He would not even except $ 20 that I tried to give him for the gauge. My tire light was off before I even drove out of their driveway. This place is so honest and really helped me out in life when I needed it! I just wished I lived in San Luis Obispo to go there all the time!

Honesty and intregrity. I was at another auto repair shop with a problem that could have cost over $ 1200.00 for the new part and installation — instead they sent me to Wayne’s Tire and Auto — Wayne’s Tire diagnosed the problem and determined the part could be repaired with a bit of welding instead of purchasing a whole new part.
They saved me over $ 1000.00 and did the repair that day.
I could not be happier with the results, the honesty and the fair price.
Thanks Wayne’s Tire — I wish there were more businesses like you!

This place is great! They ran on time and were very quick servicing my car. I will be going back here for all of my car service needs.

I have been a customer for years and they always have reasonable prices. Where they excel is in the quality of their work, it is spot on! The $ 25 Unilocal coupon made choosing them a no brainier for my last purchase for tires.

If I could give this place NO STARS. I would solely on the bad attitude the guy who works the front desk has. I’m currently across the street at SLO AutoBody where they are nice to customers and actually help them out, not talk to them like they are stupid. Word of advice: take some customer service classes. I will not recommend this place to anyone

Great service! Always come here for brakes and tires… Always fair prices, Steve is great to work with!

I’ve been a tire customer of Wayne“s Tire and Auto Repair for literally a couple of decades and they have never let me down. If I need a rush job on replacing a tire, they’ll do it on the spot. Service is excellent, prices are competitive with anywhere else in the city of SLO. Work is thorough and they make a point of follow through for the small work as well as larger issues. Steve and Russell are only two employees who deserve credit. If they say the work will be done in half an hour, it will be done in half an hour. Highly recommend.

I went in with a problem regarding a plastic guard under my car. I was given an appointment an hour later after calling and they fixed the problem within 20 minutes with no charge. Very friendly and am glad I found them. Will definitely come back whenever a problem arises.

So very happy! My Cal Poly student needed help quickly with a 20 yr old car. Steve was so helpful for me (I’m 4 hrs away). Very reasonable, very professional! Highly recommend this shop, and I don’t even live in SLO!!!

Quick & easy service at a fair price.
I stopped near SLO while on a road trip due to a fracture in my exhaust pipe. I needed to get back on the road asap since I had a wedding to be at the next day in NorCal. Called these guys as soon as they opened, and they took care of me right away. They cut out the corroded area and welded in some new pipe. I was in & out in less than an hour for $ 75.

Came here because I had a flat and needed my tire changed ASAP. I got off work early and decided to check this place out because of the great reviews. I blew up my tire to last me my drive and came right over. I was quoted a great price, and was setting up to make the arrangements until the guy at the counter told me it take him up to 3 hours to get to my car done. Okay yea if you were located near somewhere other than Starbucks, Food4Less and Trader Joes, maybe, but wtf am I suppose to do for 3 hours? Starbucks, Food4Less and Trader Joes are about a 10 minute walk away. Madonna Shopping Center 30 minutes, DT SLO 40 minutes. Yea I just got off work and the last thing I want to do is walk around in the heat or spend 3 hours on my phone.
What bothered me was when I asked to use a coupon from Unilocal,I read the fine print of the coupon and it said that it just didn’t apply to oil changes, when I asked about using it, the guy at the counter proceeded to tell me that it only applied to auto repair. If that was the case, then why didn’t the coupon say that?
I ended up going somewhere else. This is a good place to drop your car off and come back, but not if you’re in a hurry and don’t want to die of boredom.

I needed to get my tires aligned, so I called them up at 3:15pm on Thursday (they close at 5). They told me they could fit me in that day if I got there in 20 minutes, and had me in and out of there in less than an hour. The front desk guy (Steve?) was super congenial, but not in the cloying sort of way. They quoted me $ 105 or so, but since one of my tires didn’t need aligning, they only charged me $ 90. Yay for saving me money!
I’d heard good things about these guys from the people who installed my tires, and I’m glad I went here! I’m happy with the final result as well!
I have a Volvo S80, and while it always has pulled to the right, it doesn’t do it even half as much anymore. That’s an actual, legitimate achievement :)
