Tire Dealers in Watsonville, CA

“Dixon& Son Tires has been around since God made dirt. That's a long time. They had good customer service then and they have managed to get a little better. They are polite, helpful, and professional. Dusty is the manager and a straight shooter. If it can be reasonably done he insures it. They're grubby because their work is grubby but they are conscientious when working on your vehicle. They are simply all around good people. Do I believe in them? Yep...I drive all the way from Hollister to deal with them. Knock on wood..... haven't had a bum trip yet.....”

“I've been going to West Coast Auto for over 3 years now, consistently. I was recommended them through a relative a few years back and even another mechanic's shop before I first went there. It was probably the best advice I've ever been given when it comes to my car. I have an older vehicle, very high mileage, that I'm really attached to and a lot of things break or just need to be changed out due to wear over the years. The folks at West Coast Auto have never done me or my family, who now also take their vehicles there, wrong.

The manager, Carlos, takes the time to explain to you what exactly is wrong with the vehicle, even drawing out detailed images to explain what is going wrong and where. He also has gone out of his way to find parts that simply aren't available for order, checking multiple physical locations to dig around for parts that we simply can't find elsewhere. The mechanics there are very experienced and I've noticed pretty much no turnover over the past 3 or 4 years. Further, they can do pretty much everything for pretty much any vehicle as far as I can tell. They've also coordinated with me and other machine specialists when there's a big job such as a rebuild that I wanted to get out of the way so I wouldn't have to worry about it in the future when I might not be in the position to actually cover the cost.

They don't overcharge or try to convince you into doing things that aren't necessary, but if they see something else that's wrong, they'll point it out and show you exactly what it is they think needs to be done and explain why. The rates they charge are beyond reasonable and they generally work fast and get the job done quick as long as the parts needed are readily available. I've had a lot of issues with mechanics in the past, but these guys, never. I trust them with my vehicle, I highly recommend their shop to friends and people I meet who are having car issues. Seriously, if you live in the area, try them out if your vehicle's having problems.

They've worked on my cooling system, my engine, break system, suspension, and a bunch of other random issues this dear old car of mine has had and I've never had any of their work not work out.

One last thing, for a comparison. I took my vehicle for a series of oil leaks a few years back to one shop maybe 20 miles away from theirs. They wanted to charge me something like 3,000 dollars to fix the leaks--West Coast did it for far less even after they found something else unrelated to the leaks. The other place didn't even mention it.”

“I was in a bad situation, on vacation with a nail in my tire. Old tires that could not be fixed. The guys there at the Watsonville Firestone explained everything to me in plain language so I knew exactly what my options were. They were kind and compassionate and did the job within the time limit we had because we had an appointment down the road in Aptos. No problem for these guys. They were professional and very human. A+ Best Ever.”
