Call these place and said they have the tire I’m looking and drive right away and the guy said “oh sorry I thought we have” he even told me to hold and went to look make sure they have.never trust these guys.

This place should be called HAL’S AUTO SCAM! The good reviews are bought and fake! This is the worst auto repair shop and a disgrace to Oceanside. Johnny the receptionist is rude and condescending! They quote you for a certain amount of time and take twice as long. Hal’s auto tried to charge me $5000 for a job that they did not even do correctly, and after going to a different mechanic, I got the same thing for $1000 and they actually did a good job.

They patched up my tire and got me on the road in a timely manner. 10/10 would recommend.

I went in there and had my tire patched up. I had to crack my neck and relax my hands when the cost was $75. I was a little bit turned off with the customer service, but I know how to control my anger. I made sure I gave the worker my thanks.

Went in for an alignment and came out with bald tires, a worse alignment, and no compensation for any new tires. If I could give zero stars I would. The accountability at this place is the same level as a toddler.

I came into this place about a month ago to get an alignment since my truck is pulling to the left. I get it back 3 hours later to find out it still pulls, if not more! So I call and go back and get it “fixed”
(I’d find out in about a month that it was worth than the first alignment).

I left that day and it didn’t pull, so everything seemed fine, except when I would hit turns it would shake and when I was in parking lots with smoother asphalt it would screech when I’d turn. I thought it was the BRAND NEW TIRES I got a few days before the alignment just being new rubber, so I didn’t think much of it. Especially since I thought two alignments was enough.

Fast forward a month later my friend hops out of the truck and asks weren’t these the brand new tires I just got. I said yes and came over to look at them and see this (pictures below)

Being pissed and wanting a refund I call and talk to the manager who tells me he will give me a refund on the alignment but no new tires because it’s “not their fault”

If I knew this I would’ve just gone to Firestone or somewhere where they care more. Waste of time and money.

The pictures below are the tires and the other picture is when I got everything aligned at Firestone AFTER the two alignments at Hal’s

Also I checked all their other bad reviews has them saying “I don’t have you in our system your not our customer” so I’m waiting for their unaccountable response down below. ??
