Lemon Creek Tires

I’ve been here twice now. Never had a problem here. Called Dino and he quoted me $ 40 for tire change (and I left with that number, no surprise charge). No appointment needed. Came on Saturday and in and out in less than an hour. There’s a Starbucks nearby too so I got myself a nice little coffee break. Ronny, I believe his name was, was super friendly helping me cash out and even pull the car curbside for me. Perfect. Will come back for future tire change! Glad my friend recommended me this place. And for reference, I drive a BMW 328I and have no problem taking it here instead of the dealership to get my tires replaced every time.

Never had a problem here. Second time here today. Called Dino and he quoted me $ 40 for tire change (and I left with that number, no surprise charge). No appt needed.

I’ve been here a few times to get my tires fixed or replaced. They were always courteous and took care of the work in a timely manner. I think the prices are in line with other places. Planning to return next time I drive over a nail!

Went here today to get oil change and have brakes checked. Explained brakes were squeaking… oil change turned out to be $ 99.07. Ok whatever, i didnt ask before getting it done. After brake inspection was. told all 4 brakes AND all 4 rotors needed to be replaced immediately. Estimate was $ 1029. I said i wasnt expecting to do that and couldnt afford it today. Owner said than do brakes for $ 350, no. problem…i got suspicious and checked Unilocal while sitting at store. Oh man, what to do??? i called a few techie friends. Price for brakes and four rotors was actually appropriate. Problem was IF I needed it… i told owner not today and left… went to another shop that was recommended by Friend. $ 350 four brakes and turned rotors… apparently rotors were fine… so i cant really say this place was awful as estimate IF i needed work done was in line… but turns out work wasnt needed. Recommend u get 2^nd opinion before agreeing to work… and yes everyone is «my friend». Unilocal reviews… when theirs smoke…

It does not even qualify for a star. Extremely terrible service. Very unprofessional. I would never come back and highly recommend to find the service in other shops.

I’ve been coming to Lemon Creek for years. This is a review long overdue. I consider this my neighborhood garage and definite go-​to spot for everything from oil changes to more major service. Love Dino’s little old Fiat 300 that he keeps parked nearby. I guess you can get the guy out of Italy, but can’t get Italy out of the guy.
Above all, I appreciate Dino’s honesty, which I consider to be a mechanic’s most important trait. Having owned a number of different cars over the years, I’ve found brake jobs to be particularly susceptible to up-​sells. Most shops are quick to insist that new brake pads alone are insufficient and that you need a new rotor and so forth when it’s just not needed. Recently, I made the mistake of going to one of those chain mechanics who tried to charge me several hundred for a brake job. I’m glad I thereafter visited Lemon Creek for Dino’s second opinion because he determined the brakes were absolutely fine. How can you help but not want to give this guy your continuing business? Consider me a happy regular of Lemon Creek. They’ll be seeing lots more of me.

Stop wasting your time and money here. Go to Rene’s Tires, they are much better and especially they are honest.

Great service. I had arranged to take my car to Lemon Creek Tires on Saturday because my service engine light came on. The day before, I got in an accident and my bumper came off. When I went to Lemon Creek Tires, they fixed my bumper perfectly! The guys went above and beyond to make sure it was back on properly.
My car then had to be sent over to the muffler shop to have a part installed. I sat at Lemon Creek Tires chatting with Dino until my car was ready. Dino is a real awesome guy! He bought me some ice tea and we talked for over an hour. When my car finally got back, he had my invoice ready and I was out the door.

I appreciate the reliability of Lemon Creek Tires. They took me in without an appointment, fixed my car, and then responded to a concern I had. I appreciate their personability, and will return there for an oil change. So convenient!

Dino and his guys over at Lemon Creek Tire are the cream of the crop. I have come in for various repairs and tires and have always left happy. Dino is always willing to make recommendations and give you options on how to proceed. Their work is good and their pricing is fair. I was recommended this shop from a buddy who has been coming here for years and it is now, my go to shop.

I’ve been coming to Lemon Creek Tires for years and have always received great service. The prices are always great and my car is always delivered when promised. They even offer to pick you up and drop you off.

Dino is nothing but a crooked PIG don’t trust him with your car they left my car damaged and totally denied it trying to yell at me with his stank ass alcohol breath this place is a joke! Trust me stay clear of this crooked ass place! 0 stars for me

I’ve used this shop several times, but I find that they try to pressure customers into buying services that the customer doesn’t want. I don’t like that kind of pressure tactic. A lot of the repair and service recommendations they make are questionable. Just because they strongly «recommend» something doesn’t mean it is a necessary service.

Really ghetto looking spot with horrible pricing and service.

This place ripped me off about $ 350 a few years back (I wrote a yahoo review at the time). I took in my Pontiac Grand Prix for a water pump replacement, then it leaked a few weeks later. When I took it in for the warrantly work they said, oh your water pump was repaired, but we had to replace your power steering pump. I did not authorize the service but they had my credit card from the previous job. I fought the credit card company but they wouldn’t reverse the charge.
They probably dumped some stop leak in the radiator. They obviously didn’t want to take the labor hit on the warranty work so they made up another repair on the car to cover it.
I used to get my wife’s fleet car serviced there every few months but I pulled that business after that and moved it to Just Tires in Diamond Bar. This place is a complete rip off, I have no idea how they stay in business.

This is the 2^nd time ive had tires frm em. But ea time I approach the sales counter, either it takes em a long to appear o they seem to not want business.
I go here just to keep local business open but I wonder if this is 1 to continue to patronize. Dino is jus slow with service.
Upon readin othr Unilocal reviews, I wonder if theyre gonna step fwd n improve

Just called and asked to break the bead on my atv tire and he said he would charge me 20 bucks each tire! What a rip off… I can swap out and have another tire put on for 15 bucks at a motorcycle shop. He’s a joke! Just trying to take your money!

just found out that they totally F’d up my oil change. My car requires 0w20 and they replaced it with whatever they could squeeze for $ 29.99 (5w30 I believe). if the dealer finds out my warranty is a bust. Thanks you a-​holes.
what kind of a service center can’t even put in the right oil!!!
why do I have to give them 1 star? any negative stars?

Wish there were no stars for this business! Guy Dino is the worse business owner out there. Not even the shops around him recommend him for tires or service. I went there for a lug nut removal because it got stripped and he quoted me 80 bucks! I wish someone would pay him 80 bucks to retire and quit! Ended up getting it done at valley muffler for free.

Service stinks! Went in for a flat tire and two hours later it still had not fixed. Dino (gray haired man) spent most of his time on a personal phone ignoring a customer waiting to check out & never putting his personal call on hold. Disappointed with the level of service!!!

Lot’s of «hello my friends» which means let me overcharge you for parts and service. asked for spark plug change and Dino the BS owner charged me $ 10.00 more for each spark plug compared to auto parts store. I asked for specific service on my fuel injectors and he started to disassemble my intake system for a $ 500 repair I didn’t need. luckily I spotted him during dis-​assembly and made him stop. He uses profanity in front of everyone while speaking to his supplier’s. A very low guy you should stay away from. Don’t get ripped off from this very un-​classy guy

I’ve been coming to Lemon Creek Tires and Auto on a referral from a neighbor who spoke well of this shop. I needed someone that would take care of my car without charging me inflated prices that would take care of business in a timely manner. Well I found just that with this shop! I’ve been coming here since about 60k miles and Dino (the owner) and his crew have kept my car running well and I’m now at over 220,000 miles. They treat you like family, super friendly and get things moving right away. I moved to No. Orange County, but I still trek over to Lemon Creek rather than use a local OC shop because I know I can trust them. Since my work has me driving all over, if my car is out of commission, I don’t make $. So I really appreciate how efficient these people are, getting things done quickly. Thanks Guys! Much appreciated

***UPDATE*** I took my car to the shop next door because my starter went bad and went over here out of convenience to see what they can do for a part they lost about 2 months ago. reason why i came back now was because i had took work off early… The second I walked in the old miserable owner (Dino) gave attitude towards me and started to ignore and talk over me. I presented my problem in search of a solution if possible he the. Proceeded to use strong profanity towards me and referred to my racial background. Shortly after he walked away into the back and that’s when I lost my temper towards him. (Dino) realizing I got the attention of both his employees and customer he decided to act his age. But all he did was deny. Then again he started to use strong profanity towards and not offer a solution for me… Ken later came out and worked with me on a settlement.
Bottom line is Dino does NOT deserve any business. He takes the cash he gets from overcharging customers and pockets it without any sort of customer service. His use of strong profanity AND racial remarks will put him out of business soon. DO NOT COME HERE. Never have I heard or seen a business owner go off on a customer like he did to try and cover something he did wrong. This incident will be reported to BBB

REPLY TO THE COMMENT.
dino, what kind of character does it show when you spend hours thinking of a MADE UP reply to my review? it was NEVER explained to me why the cost would be increased! also, could you please tell me why OTHER shops that perform alignments do not charge extra for this? speaking of other shops, why do your neighboring mechanic shops in walnut tell me your business cheats customers?
also, why not post on here that IF A BAD REVIEW is posted on Unilocal,you will personally try to contact the customer via phone or email, at odd hours of the night to harass them about the review?! you even go to the length of writing to Unilocal to ask them to remove reviews! do this instead, STOP CHEATING THE CUSTOMERS and BAD reviews will not be posted.
