Oil Change in Castro Valley, CA

“After getting a flat tire the night before, I searched online for a nearby tire shop. Castro Valley Tire Pros immediately stood out because it had a 4.9-star rating from more than 2,000 reviews. I felt compelled to give the shop a try—and now I understand why it is so highly rated.

Francisco examined the tire and showed me the nail and crack that made it impossible to repair. When I told him I simply needed something durable, he did not try to upsell me. He inspected my other three tires, said they were still fairly new and in good condition, and assured me that I only needed to replace one. He even suggested checking with my previous tire shop to see whether the damaged tire was still under warranty. His honesty truly stood out to me.

The total was only $159.78, including the tire, computerized wheel balancing, disposal fee, labor, and sales tax. Francisco also noticed that I was missing a hubcap. He suggested buying an affordable set of four from the nearby O’Reilly Auto Parts and offered to install them for free.

No one at the shop asked me to write this review—I simply could not help myself! Honest service, fair pricing, and genuine kindness like this deserve to be recognized. I highly recommend Castro Valley Tire Pros. Thank you, Francisco and the entire team!”

“I've been coming here for years for my vehicles. The staff is very helpful and I appreciate the list of items that were repaired, items that will eventually need attention and items that need to be fixed ASAP.

I never had any issues after getting my services there. They've always have done a good job.”

“Larry’s Automotive is a an exemplary automotive service repair shop. Their honesty and integrity are noteworthy.

Our 2025 Subaru had a reminder to get the oil and filter changed even though we were 3,000 miles short of meeting the milage requirement. Subaru recommends getting the service done every 6 months or 6,000 miles which ever comes first.

After dropping our car off at Larry’s, he called and said the car did not need service. He advised getting serviced when the mileage was closer to Subaru’s milage requirement.

How many other dealers would have gone ahead and performed the service?”

“Although I have not had my car serviced here. I can say their customer service is excellent. I have emailed and inquired about getting a motor swap done to my car that went back and forth. With other shops ignoring my emails, Boulevard Auto went above and beyond to take care of and answer all my questions in detail with great insight and advice. I wouldn’t hesitate bringing my car to them when I’m ready to have the work done.”

“I was carrying cash for traveling purposes. While paying for excellent, efficient service, I accidentally dropped a substantial amount of cash on the floor, and walked away without noticing. Antonio called me immediately upon noticing this on the other side of the counter, reached me while I was just blocks away, and returned all my traveling cash. He saved me.”

“I bought some tires online and had them installed at Tire Choice in April 2025, they were short handed but they still performed the work quickly and treated me as if I bought the tires from them. I recently picked up a screw in my tire, and thought I would go back since they treated me so well the last time. The woman at the desk was extremely nice and said that it would be an hour before they could do the work, I said that I would wait. They started on the work in less than 15 minutes and finished quickly. Great staff. Definitely going back. Thanks!”
