5 Day Tire Stores – Brakes & Alignments

This review was written by my brother. It is rated NC-​17
These guys did a spectacular job on my car. The only place to get service this quick, cheap and easy is in Tijuana. (It wouldn’t have anything to do with your car though ;) While they did not happen to have a donkey show either, if you do like animals, they have some incredibly sweet dogs that hang around the shop. They might even let you rub their bellies. The guys that work there will let you rub their bellies too. They’re just that nice. They made the whole process easy, explaining everything and answering all my questions. I can not possibly give these guys a higher recommendation. Come here for any and all auto service. Or just come to say hello and have some laughs.

New to Ventura area and was looking for a place to get my tires replaced. Pep Boys was giving me a ridiculous quote so I decided to do some research in Unilocal.Came across this place and decided to give them a try based on the great reviews.
Got there pretty early and was greeted by Mr Alex who was friendly and funny as well. Felt like I was visiting a relative, that type of vibe. His son Andres was also very helpful and walked me through other services that I may need to consider in the future. They were not pushing other unnecessary services like other shops. You can tell that they really care about their costumers.
Price weren’t that bad as well. Definitely lower than what I was quoted in Pep Boys. Service was also quick and painless. Overall a very pleasant experience. Keep up the good work guys!

New to the area, I had no idea where to go for tires when I noticed mine needed to be replaced. After a quick Unilocal search, these guys caught my eye and I emailed them for a quote. Keep in mind it was already after 7pm and I wasn’t expecting an answer until the next day. Not even 10 minutes later did Andres respond with a quote that was well below what I had mentally prepared my bank account for! Dropped off my car the next day and got the call that it was ready only an hour later. Andres was so helpful, answered all the questions I had, and made getting for tires entirely to easy. Wish they were a full mechanic. I would love to come to these guys for all my car needs!
Thanks so much again for the new wheels!

The last honest mechanics. Truly a pleasure to have work done here. Came in because my brakes were squeaking but they told me it was an irregularity and nothing to be alarmed. I appreciated they told me I didn’t need brakes instead of fooling me into a sale. Without a doubt. When they need repairing, I’ll come back here. Did I mention their dogs. For all your brake, tire, and suspension needs, take your car here.

I so want to do justice to my experience… And not take to long… soo…
I
Got a flat… AAA came and fixed it and said the tire was shredded and probably
The other back tire was too… They
Put in the spare… I Unilocaled where to go… and went to these Wonderful Guys!!! It was like being taken care of by family… Honest, reasonable, Alex … The owner, along with his son… And Edgar … Made me feel like I was their only customer… They had many coming through the door… Lots of repeat customers… It’s a family, neighborhood, business that does incredible work !!! Go there!
Thank you guys

Had to drive from Santa Barbara to find these guys and I’m very glad I did. Love that it is a family business like my own and I found them to be polite, fast, and very competitive. I wanted a certain brand of tires that no one in SB could seem to find (they were not interested) for my 04′ Porsche Cayenne S and they found them at a great price! We even got dropped off by the beach so we could go to lunch and picked up after we ate. Are you kidding? Who does that kind of service anymore. We have 5 cars in the family and will def be using them again!

You can’t get better service than here. I have gotten my tires here so long, I remember when it was Four Day Tires… The owner, Alex is just an all around great guy. He knows all his repeat customers, is a charming fellow and will let you know if it is time to get new tires, or if you can skip a purchase for a few more thousnd miles.
Alex has been turning more of the day to day running of the shop to his son. If you hit a day when he is there, your enjoyment of the experience will be increased tenfold.
I have always been very satisfied with the tires they select for my cars. I also pay the small fee to get their guarentee. You bring the car in every 5 or 6 thousand miles and they check and rotate your tires for free. Also lets you have free repairs if you run over a nail or screw. The guarentee has really been a great buy in my experience.
Service is quick, I usually drop by and am out in less than 15 minutes for a check, and a half hour when I get tires. If they are busy, they will let you know and set up an appointment. They usually have what you need in stock, but if you have a special type of tire, they can order it.

Found them on Unilocal looking for tires and an alignment for my Mom’s car. I wanted to go with a family run business verses Costco or Walmart and 5 Day Tire had comparable prices. I had a great experience dealing with Andres, even answered the phone when the shop was closed to help with all my questions. They were quick, courteous, helpful and honest. Mama is happy too!

I called them up beforehand to find out if they took walk-​ins for alignments and they said yes so I drove on in. I arrived at 4pm (they close at 5) and was initially worried I might not be getting there early enough but they were able to do the job in only about 30 minutes! The staff was very friendly and professional and I’m happy with the results. I mean, I guess only time will tell to see if my tires wear evenly but so far I’m a fan and I think I’d order tires from them next time too. It seems like it’s easier to get quick work done here than other places I go. Easy to find and adequate parking space in the lot. Small waiting area with magazines to read etc.
Price was in-​line with other alignment shops — $ 90. I am happy. :)

I went to 5 Day Tires because of all the great reviews I read on Unilocal.I was not disappointed. I was treated with professionalism and friendliness. They got me the tires and wheel I needed quickly. I will definitely recommend 5 Day Tire to family and friends.

Just had another major job done by 5-​day tire store and i tell you, there is no better customer service out there, these guys are professional and know what they are doing. you would be a fool to go anywhere else for your tire or wheel needs, best prices, best quality and for sure the best service ever…

I had excellent service at 5 Day Tire Store! The gentlemen were awesome too! They have been in business at this family owned store for 38 years! The owners gave me a great deal too! This is the best tire store I have ever been to. I will never go anywhere else! I highly recommend them for tires, brakes, and alignments. They will rotate my tires for me too!
Thank you so very much. I really needed honest and amazing people to help me today and God did send me to you! KUDOS!

Great place! Took our F350 there to repair a tire with a nail in it. They were helpful and courteous on the phone and much lower to fix a tire than a nearby store. After removing the tire, they discovered the nail had not gone all the way through. So they remounted, aired it up, and DIDN’T CHARGE!!! Would absolutely come back for future tire needs!

I called this store based on the great Unilocal reviews, and it seems the 5 star rating is well deserved. I was concerned because I was hearing a squeal in my brakes and was about to embark on a long trip towing my 10,000 lb travel trailer. Andres was very accommodating, and fit me in within 10 minutes to inspect my rear brakes and was prepared to install new brake pads. I had every reason to believe that I needed new ones, as a Sears Auto store had tried to get me to have them changed out months earlier. Andrew and Edgar determined that I still had 40% useable rear brake pads, saying I could still expect fully functioning brakes for some time to come. The squeal was apparently just a small rock and it was gone. I thanked Andres for not trying to push an expensive service on me and he said «We are not that kind of a shop».
I will be back when I need the new brake pads! THANK YOU!

I went to 5 Day Tire Store for replacement of front tires on my Lexus in addition to brake pads replacement. I’ll tell you how honest this shop and the owner, Andres, are. After inspecting the brake pads, Andres informed me that the pads are still in good condition and do not need immediate replacement. I was willing to pay for the new pads, but Andres was honest enough to do what’s best for me and my car and not out there to make a quick buck. This honesty has certainly earned my business for a long time, not to mention referrals to my family and friends.
As a side note, Andre’s dad (original shop owner) came in and was shooting the breeze with all the customers and made all of us feel comfortable doing business with his shop.
I highly recommend 5 Day Tire Store to anyone who needs tire, brakes, and probably suspension work performed on their cars.

Did a tip a while back and forgot the rave review. We are regular customers, and always look forward to a friendly chat with Alex, and an entertaining scolding when my husband went over 5000 miles between rotation/​check-​up on his camry tires.
5 day gives a good deal, and locates unusual tire sizes for my husband’s various trucks and our Miata. When I bought a new car, the tires wore out in 20,000 miles, but the ones I bought from here made it through the warranty period. They keep our records up to date, and no appointment is necessary.

We recently moved to Ventura and it was time for tires on our Audi A3. Of course we wanted to ONLY patronize a local «ma & pa» shop… or in this case a local «son & pa» shop!
We live just a few blocks from 5 Day Tires so as my husband was walking by one day he stopped in to check the place out. He was given a quote quickly and with NO UP-​SALE. Just the tires he had already researched and knew he wanted.
About a month later, my husband had some time in his schedule to have the tires put on so he called the shop and they set up an appointment in just two days. We dropped off the car, tires were put on. And a phone call to my husband to tell him to pick up the car was made all within a couple hours. No added charges, just what we were quoted.
The service was prompt, the service was friendly and the tires are awesome! They even offer a wonderful warranty. And they let us know that Michelin was having a rebate which we’ve already sent off to receive.
And to top it off a week later, Andre called just to see how the boss (that would be ME!!) was liking the new tires. Service like this is hard to find anymore.
Go see Alex & Andre. You will be given that small town friendly service like we all want and deserve!

Alex, his son and the team are really nice. They got me my tries same day but sadly also damaged my car the same day. I needed my rear tires changed out and paid full price which didn’t matter to me.
After my tires were installed the car was lifted down and that’s when my car was damaged. The front right was lowered on a large 2X4 and it was wedged in between my right fender and the tire. My girlfriend and I heard the loud cracking sound and watched as Alex’s son drive my car back and forth trying to release the 2X4 that was caught underneath the car. The next following day is when I noticed the damage and realize where it came from. I guess somewhere from the doe lift and driving the car to the front is where he tried to pop the panel back into place to not make it noticeable.
They did replace the damaged item but only gave me an unpainted side panel. So my car is black and the unpainted panel is gray. It doesn’t look good! I spoke to the body shop they referred me to which was «Fender Mender» and the owner said that I would have to fork out the extra money to get it painted. I didn’t think it was fair that I got a replacement part that wasn’t fixed 100%. I would have paid $ 200 extra to get a side panel painted but luckily I have a friend that works for BMW and they painted it for free for me.
Overall, I wasn’t happy with the process and partial repair I was given. If something is broken and obviously it was done by someone else rather than the owner of the car then that person should repair it 100% not 60% then let the customer fork out an extra $ 200 when he’s already spent $ 500 on tires. I trusted them to fix the damage and not having me to pay for something that wasn’t my fault. Again, not my fault! I’m sorry but I wouldn’t go back to this tire place again. If you don’t believe me hopefully the pictures will. Thank you.
**UPDATE** 5÷2÷15
Even with all the damages and miscommunications Alex and Andres made things right at the end. Throughout the entire process they handled everything very calmly and professional. I’m glad that they didn’t make me feel uncomfortable and tried every attempt to make things right. Maybe just next time communication wise it could be more clear and I know e-​mailing or messaging isn’t the greatest. But with work being so busy it’s very hard for me to take a moment to talk on the phone. Overall, everything is good and back to normal with all 4 tries looking and feeling great when I drive.

This place is top notch. Mom and Pop atmosphere with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I desperately needed 2 tires and after trying several places I luckily found 5 day tire! and they came through big time.
They got me the tires I needed the same day I called them… and I had my tires installed by that same afternoon. They were cheaper than ordering online and I got better tires for the price based on their recommendation! They also checked my brakes for free and did the alignment, something many shops claim to do… but don’t do well… 5 day tire walks the talk.
I was in the car business for almost 10 years and several years in the service department for Lexus and Jaguar and I trust these guys with my car. Trust me, you wont go wrong using 5 day tire.
TOP NOTCH SERVICE and did I mention they got my car done in just over an hour… Will be going back to them for any tires in the future.

Thanks to less-​than-​stellar effort by the folks at Big Brand Tire, I dropped into this shop to have my flat tire inspected and, hopefully, repaired.
The staff quickly noticed that the tire had a modest bulge indicating that the tire was failing and recommended replacement. Alex, the owner, suggested options other than a matching Michelin tire ($ 215), so I chose a similar-​appearing, but considerably less expensive replacement.
