      My apologies to my extended family, Tony and Denise for not writing this review sooner. Please forgive me.

      Now let's get to the knitty gritty.

      I love this place! I've been coming here I think it's been about 10 years now. I passed by in my car one day, saw the review and I've been hooked ever since.

      I don't take my cars anywhere else but Don's. The staff know their ish, they are hilarious, and they care about YOUR car. Yes I said it....YOUR CAR! I have NEVER took my car to a tire shop that cares about YOUR car. These people are heaven sent! Even if they are busy, they make sure to give you your car back faster than you can call to check up on your car. They have the best deals and they are fast. I never had any issues with my cars. I had alignment issues, rotator cuff issues the whole nine. They made it right EVERYTIME! Don't take your car anywhere else!

      Tell them I sent you.

      Love you Don's

      Get your service here!!! Tony and the team took such great care of me and my 2017 Honda Civic. At the start of April, my tires were stolen off of my car, and driver window was broken. After going through insurance and dealing with the nightmare that is Berkeley Auto Service (AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE), I received my car back after 3 weeks and it just wasn't driving properly. The drive felt completely off and I knew in the pit of my stomach that something was wrong. I took my tires to Costco for a rebalance and rotation at which point Costco said there were no issues. I knew I had to get another alignment from a second shop.

      In comes Don's. I was recommended going to Don's by the fine folks over at Berkeley Minicar. I called on a Monday morning and got an appointment for later that afternoon. I arrived at Don's about 20min early to my appointment but they happily checked me in and were able to start working on it slightly early. At check-in I did not yet tell them the issue I was having with my car as I wanted to see that they identified it on their own instead of searching for issues that I alerted them about. After about 45min my car was done and I checked back in with the front desk and what they told me had my jaw on the floor.

      The team was absolutely flabbergasted by how out of spec my previous alignment was (the one done by Berkeley Auto Service). They were surprised how I was able to drive straight. Once they asked me what happened, I spill the proverbial beans and told them the whole story about my tires being stolen and the fiasco working with Berkeley Auto Service (again, avoid!!). I showed Tony the alignment sheet I received from BAS and he remarked how incorrect it looked. The formatting did not match standard/current alignment spec sheets, and the min/max tolerances were did not match up with current standards. BAS either gave me a fake alignment report or were using some 40+ year-old alignment rack. Tony told me that as a professional he does not bad-mouth other shops, but it was clear to him by that alignment sheet and the nightmare story I told him, Berkeley Auto Service screwed me over. We continued to speak in depth about the results of the new alignment, tire wear, and all the issues I was previously experiencing after the incorrect alignment from BAS. All the issues I was experiencing while driving aligned with what he was telling me and how my car was severely out of alignment.

      Tony even offered for me to come back in a few weeks to have a check up and he'll even waive my check up fee just to be sure there's no further issues. If an issue is identified, we'll move forward with a supplemental under my original insurance claim. Huge shoutout to the team over at Don's.

      The crew here seems like a family. Service estimates are honest and the mechanics and tire/alignment people are experts. Love the people at the front desk. I bring my car(s) here every time!

      I couldn't be happier! I was able to come before work and get my tire patched from having a nail in it. The price was right and the service was wonderful. The joy of not having to fill the tire with air is worth every penny. I will definitely be back for any tire needs.

      This place. This team is legit. Their integrity, their knowledge -- they clearly like what they do, and they care that it's done right. They do a lot more than tires, and they make your day brighter while making you safe. I can't recommend them highly enough.

      I brought my car in for a full tune up in February and they stated what needed to be done and that included an oil change and filters. Two weeks after my "oil change" my service light came on. When I called to confirm a actual oil change was done I was told "just reset your light" to which I had and it came back on, then I was told "there must be an error your car hasn't resigisterd the oil change we'll have to manually reset it" to which I replied that I've recieved an oil change before the indacator light came on and its never been a problem.

      I finally took my car in for them to "correct" whatever the issue is and I was told my car had NO OIL and they said you car must be leaking oil, I'm no idiot I know when a car is leaking and mine infact was not! I was then told that they would do me a COURTESTY and put more oil in it. The NERVE, Yalll clearly changed the oil and NEVER put any in. The main job of the oil change replacing the oil.

      To be told it was a COURTESTY after I already paid for the missing oil was a slap in the face. It has now been a month since I visually wateched and recorded them put oil in and guess what ...NO ISSUES! My light has never came back on.

      easy to do business with, friendly front desk service. I really don't understand about the people that complain, it's almost like they went to a different shop. However, this thing about this place is that you can buy your tires and wheels from TireRack.com and, have them shipped to Dan's where they will be installed for you. you only pay Dan for the installation of the tire and wheels . This way you are assured of a fair price, a huge selection of product, and no high-pressure sales from Don's.

      Always a great value!!' Fast friendly service without attempts to "over sell" you products or tires that don't fit your driving habits. Took my 90 YO mother's car in for tires and alignment and came out satisfied!! Saved $$& on the estimates she'd received.

      My go to for tires, brakes and all wheel service!!!
