Oliveras Auto Repair & Towing

"[Review of tire shop only] Great tire shop in the SYV! Chue Yang landed there and he consistently takes great care of his customers. Picked up a nail in a new Michelin and the Oliveras team got it patched and had me back on the road so fast you'd think we were jockeying for pole position. Bravo Zulu Oliveras!"

"I broke down on the highway 2 miles from buellton going north bound at 11:00 pm. I walked to town got a hotel and the next day walked back with water and a new radiator hose . Installed it and tried starting my car. Wouldn’t start I spent hours trying to fix it. I just purchased this vehicle 2 days prior and it wasn’t in my name yet as in registration. Stumped on what was wrong with my car I walked back to town for it was late and had to stay another night at hotel walked back the next morning with a jumper box and more tools to start it and my vehicle was gone less than 72 hours that is the amount of time I can legally have my car there parked on a safe place off the road. I walked all the way back called towing companies and found out that oliveras towing towed my car to their lot. This 2 mile tow is priced at 492 dollars! Let me repeat this they are charging me 492 dollars for towing my vehicle that I never asked them to do 2 miles to their lot!!!!!! This is a car that I purchased for 200 dollars a couple days ago!!!!!! I’m not the kind of guy that has 500 dollars to throw out there for a criminal company to completely rip me off with the authority of some non American horrible corporation …… and every day I can’t pay for my car to get it out cost me 100 dollars more to store my 200 dollar car in there lot . I never asked or ordered them to tow my car. Oliveras told me I’d have to go to dmv or Chp and get all this paperwork and pretty much a big night mare full of items while I don’t have transportation to go do any of this or the funding………… I believe this is a clear situation where oliveras should give me back my car and apologize for the mistake of taking my vehicle illegally. I mean I was parked there for two days this is so wrong and kicking me when I’m down that I don’t want to pay for this service ………. I’m sure the public would to want to pay this until it happens to you or a friend you will see that towing a vehicle 2 miles should not cost 500 dollars especially when I never asked them to do so . Now they expect me to pay them for illegally moving and entrapping my vehicle . Alls I can say is karma goes around and I’m good you can keep my car I’ll still carry on and not lose sleep at night . And I feel for the countless people that have to have there card towed away from a public road that there car may have broke down on . 500 dollars for towing 2 miles is just down right criminal period"

"Armando, John, and everyone I worked with here are amazing. I was an anxious mess after my engine seized on a 2 lane highway quite a far way from home. They went above and beyond to help me and my car get out of that situation safely. They also were very efficient in diagnosing my car and responsive with all communication. I don't recommend breaking down in the middle of nowhere (don't be like me, have someone peek at your car before long trips in this hot weather). But if you do, I 10000% recommend working with them. Also, I learned that the pandemic really hit the towing industry hard, and these guys are working very long days to take care of us now that we are all back on the road. So even if there is a wait, they will be worth it!"
