Wheel & Rim Repairs in Salinas, CA

“This was my first time using this location since my usually America’s tire in Millbrae is always backed up a few weeks. Since I was in the area, I was able to schedule an appointment online the same day. The service requested was a tire rotation and balance for my tesla model 3. It took about an 1 hour and 15 minutes to be done. The techs and employees were very helpful and I would recommend this shop anytime. Who doesn’t love free rotations and balancing when you purchase tires from them! Great value.”

“Always great quality service everytime we come here, with great tires that last a long time & good pricing, always two thumbs up always recommend cuevas tires !”

“Excellent prices!! Best tire shop around. I have special size tires for my Fiat, I always call ahead to have my tire order for next day. Excellent work, quality and above all pricing here at Calderon’s Tire. Highly recommend. Call ahead to make sure they have your tires. Get your tires next day if not available.”

“This business has awful reviews on Yelp and I almost didn't come here to get work done. However, you should note that the bad reviews are 2+ years old, and none of them really have that much context as to what the shop really did wrong, IMO. I called Big Bear on a Thursday afternoon asking if I could get an appointment set for a lift kit installation. Rene, the owner, was the guy who helped me over the phone and set me up with an appointment the following Monday at 8:30 am. Got to the shop at 8:30 am on Monday and Rene was the guy who helped me again. He is the business owner. He was courteous, professional, and no BS. I bought my own lift kit myself and he asked to see the parts before taking my truck into the shop. He said the shop would do a pre-lift inspection and then get started on installing the lift kit. He told me I should expect my truck to be at the shop until 4 pm but that he'd call me if it was done sooner. He gave me an estimate for the labor + alignment and I signed the paper and left. My truck was done by 1:45. I got a 2 inch Eibach lift kit installed and DAMN the truck looks good. When I was checking out, Rene told me everything they did to my truck and answered questions I had about what size tires I could run with the lift, if his shop works on electronic modifications (aftermarket headlights, etc), and was really helpful. He told me he put my stock suspension in the Eibach box and had loaded it into my bed for me. For my lift kit installation + alignment, it cost me $600. I had expected to pay around that. When getting back into my truck, nothing was missing or misplaced or had been touched or moved (an old negative review said someone had stuff stolen out of their vehicle while it was getting worked on?????). Also - this shop didn't charge me a "corking fee" like other shops do because I brought my own parts. Lavender Bros in Seaside said they would add a 10% addition to my lift job invoice because I didn't purchase my kit through them. I'll definitely update this review if I notice anything wrong or off with the suspension but I'm really glad I went to this shop despite all these awful Yelp reviews. Again, they're all super old and have no context. Are they fake reviews???? Are they from dumb people???? Idk. Id definitely recommend Big Bear and may come back here when I get new wheels and tires for my truck. I say "may" because they're all the way in Salinas and I'm located in Monterey, so it's a bit of a long drive. Thanks, Rene and Big Bear for lifting my Tacoma! Quality work!”

“Came to the shop for a change of tires. Technician double checked my old tires and he determined a rotation would do. Buying me more time. Honesty is key. HighlyRecommend this place.”

“I've always gotten fair deals. Good service. Very kind. Respectful people and honest. I've gotten at least five different modifications to my truck done there from lowering kit to headlight. Installation would definitely recommend”

“They were a little busy but they helped us out with changing tires, putting back our spare and an alignment. They have very fair prices. I would definitely recommend them for tires used/new and patches. They also do breaks here as well.”

“Raw wheels and tires did it again.. All the guys are friendly and they will get you in and out. they treat you like family . I been going to rent a tire for years when I need new tires and rims. The best in Pasadena . southmore location ‍”
