Calderon’s New & Used Tires

This post is so late but I want to just reach out and say thank you so much to the staff at Caldron’s. 430pm on the Friday the weekend before Christmas I blow out my tire, super bad luck! An hour later I’ve changed said tire and am frantically looking for a place that can help me in getting my tire replaced so I can get to work safely. I’m a travel nurse so I do not know the area, I got on Unilocal,called 3 other places who said they could not accommodate me. I was 10 minutes away and Caldron’s closed 20 minutes later and they were happy to help me! So nice, so professional and so quick. I’m so thankful for your help, your understanding and your kindness during the holiday season!

Went here on a Sunday morning. Right rear tire flat. They found a nail, patched it and had me on my way in about 5 minutes. Charged only $ 10. Friendly, no nonsense service. Highly recommended.

These guys are great! I have been to most of the shops they have including the alum rock one and these guys never fail. Keep it up!

I am disappointed in myself, i should
Know better to only refer a business if i know the owner or staff first hand.
I referred a friend to this place from
Unilocal on Saturday 7^th, hes from out of town who had a damaged rim that needed to be repaired. They gave the cost and date of wed to be picked up, called Wednesday no answer. He drove to sj Thursday from San Rafael taking the day off and rim is still not completed. Pricey, bad communication, wont ever refer someone here again. Sticking with Nasseri Auto!
¹¹⁄₁₄. Seven days later. Yesterday we called 3 times and no answer, we didn’t call or get call today Saturday but decided to just head over, Rim was in but missing cap. Here we go they deny we brought it in and they have the owners wife come out who swears we didn’t bring it.
After going back and forth getting more upset about there BS, guess what? cap was found behind there desk. Really? WTF. Don’t go here! Its a hit or miss and not worth it. Look for a better company through BNI or diamond certified company’s.

I went Calderon’s based on a referral
From my friend. Solely because of price. I lease a cadillac and my lease is almost expired. My lease agreement says I must return tires with ¼ of tread. I thought my tires were due, but after further examination Adam at the front desk recommended just rotating tires and found 2 nails so they plugged them. I went in there thinking I was gonna spend at least $ 280 on used tires to get by. Instead Adam and crew charged me $ 30 saving me $ 250. Awesome job guys. This is by far my new tire shop. I will recommend this place to all my friends.

Stopped by today had a, nail in my tire, had to be at work by four, in and out in about 15 mins, great job and made it to work.

Great customer service, great price, and timely manner I strongly recommended I had a big nail in my brand new tire and other places told me that they can’t fix it and I have to buy new tire!!! This place fixed the tire quickly with great price I save good amount of money

Quick & easy. Had a tire losing air. I was nearby on Sunday. They were friendly. 15 minutes it took to repair the tire. I’ll go again.

bought used 17 inch tire due to orig tire suffered from (the new phenomenon, of the impact bubble) so instead of paying 2 hundo for direct replacement and 3 day wait. i go here for a used.
after selecting tire, confirming price, they verbally told me 30 days warranty on used tire.
3 weeks later low tire indicator. on car. find this calderon tire is 12 lbs low.
mechanics tell me its because tire is no good, it has a impact bubble, and blame it on my mom running over potholes or curbs.
so adam the mgr decides too slow roll me for 15min and them blames me for the tire bubble, shows me micro print on receipt for no warranty.
i would have never bought a tire, with no warranty… something. period.
so they lied and mis represented tire and warranty. then when their product fails the wont fix it.

Arrived 5:30. Website said closes at 7. Had 2 tires to be put onto son’s truck but they refused service. Didn’t offer appointment or follow up. Stated other shops already closed. Poor customer service. Guy just shrugged his shoulders.

They took care of me yesterday! My tire size is somewhat hard to find and very pricey. The owner gave me some affordable options, and I left a happy customer! It seemed important for me not to have left upset or disappointed. I really appreciate that! I also liked that the owner remembered me! Makes me feel valued. I am a happy, repeat customer.

One of the best places to go if you need an alignment for your car. I’ve had mixed feelings about the service here, but my most recent outing left me satisfied. Their ground rack allowed for my car to get an alignment without any problems (lowered car). 5 stars for their alignment service.

No vayan a calderons tires este lugar asen mal servicio y roban a la gente son personas falsas que no saben atender bien al cliente roban y venden llantas que no sirven bien caras las llantas y un mal servicio

The service wasn’t that great here, I left because I wasn’t acknowledged but then I came back and it still took me forever to get some service. Pricey for both new and used tiees. I’ll shop around rather than settle for this place.

This is my go to place when I have tire troubles. They fixed leaks, taken out nails, repaired my tires, and I’ve even bought used tires from here. I didn’t even know selling used tires was a thing! AND they are super fast. A+

I’ve been having a lot of car problems this past month. My car has been in the shop and I have been in a rental for the past week. While driving to go on a hike I got a flat tire. Of course I didn’t get the insurance for the rental car so it would have cost me $ 88 dollars if I had gone through the rental car company. I was able to get a used tire from Calderon’s for $ 60.
They have extended hours which really helped me out since this happened late on a Saturday afternoon. They were able to help me right away and looked at the tire as soon as I pulled up, I had driven too far on the flat so I needed a new tire, there was no repairing the flat (but they do that there too).
They didn’t have the same tire at this shop, so since I had my doughnut on, they said they were going to have the tire driven in from another shop, and that I could run and grab something to eat or run errands and come back. So I came back a half hour later and the tire was on the rim and ready to be put on the car.
They were helpful and very fast. I plan to bring my mini here for new tires when needed.
Thank you for helping me out in a stressful situation!

Went to calderons to get my used tires mounted. I ask the guy behind the desk for a Quote and he doesn’t give me one until he sees my car (BMW). He quoted me 50 dollars and I got him down to 40. After waiting around for 30 minutes they finally installed my 2 tires. The men installing the tires were extremely rude and ignored me when I asked them how much tread the tires had left. After having them installed, the man behind the counter was extremely rude and told me «I guess you have no idea what I mean» when I was telling him how competitors were offering cheaper prices. All in all it was a very unpleasant experience.
My friend also came here looking for used summer performance tires and they sold him all seasons instead… Scammers man
Don’t come here.

I needed a new tire, since my back tire blew out on the freeway.
A friend of mine recommended this place. I know almost nothing about tires so was very hesitant on going on my own. (scared of being ripped off or being talked into unnecessary stuff)
I worried for nothing!
They were friendly. They recommended I get a used tired, they changed it fast and it was pretty cheap.
I’d definitely come here again.

I rode along with my friend to have his new wheels installed yesterday. He needed his current tires from his stock wheels transferred to the new wheels.
Since they didn’t need to put my friend’s car on a lift, one worker jacked the car up by the rear differential but didn’t chock the front wheels. It started to roll forward, and it worried us a bit. He place two more floor jacks in the area behind the front wheels, and the car was jacked up from some questionable areas (not the pinch welds or the frame).
After the tires were installed and balanced, another worker proceeded to blast the wheel nuts onto the wheels with the impact gun — not the least concerned about over-​torquing. After stopping him, he suggested trying to use a torque stick, but since it didn’t fit, he decided to set the impact gun to half the power. We never saw a torque wrench.
Upon closer inspection, we also noticed that the worker gouged into two of the wheels when he was zapping on the wheel nuts with the impact gun.
We stopped by my house nearby to check the torque on all the wheel nuts with my torque wrench. The one wheel with nuts that were installed with the impact gun at full power took nearly 150 lb/​ft to remove with a torque wrench with a 2-​foot handle. Had my friend been a small guy and gotten a flat tire, he probably wouldn’t have been able to change out his wheel for his spare using the factory foot-​long tire iron.
The other three wheels were over-​torqued by about 20 lb/​ft each.
This place is a joke. The service cost my friend $ 80, which is normal, but I’ve seen much better service at the same price. Spend your money and get a better experience at Big Wheels in Sunnyvale.

Good prices, and good used tires…
BUT if you’ve paid for a nice set of wheels, I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE. They seriously abused my BRAND NEW WHEELS. Brought them in UNOPENED boxes and I had inspected them before I bought them. After having tires mounted at Calderon’s, my brand new wheels look pretty beat. I watched the entire time, and cringed when I saw the tech drop my wheel ON ITS FACE. Now one of my BRAND NEW WHEELS looks curbed, and all the rest have had their finish scraped pretty bad.
For the wifes car, stock steelies, go for. But if you have anything aftermarket, look somewhere else and save yourself the heartache of watching your nice new rims beat at this place.
ALSO, if you do decide to come in here, watch where they jack your car up from. they almost jacked mine from the rocker.

I’ve been to this place 4 – 5 times in the past because they’re cheap, but crappy. As of Jan 2014, they’re no longer cheap.
They charged me $ 100 to mount/​balance a set of 17s on the car, with new rubber valve stems. In the past, they were always $ 60, no valve stems, now $ 80. It is a complete ripoff to charge $ 20 for 4 new rubber valve stems.
To put this in context, a very high quality mount/​balance/​new stems from wheelworks or america’s tire is $ 100.
At Calderons, they’ll scratch your rims, crack your center caps and NOT torque your lugnuts.
UGH
