Got alignment done on my green Silverado and the truck drifted to the right. I brought it back and the mechanic said it was fine with out connecting to the computer, and that I would need to pay again to have it worked on. If the alignment wasn't done correct I wasn't going to pay the same person to do it again and I took it a place on Hole Ave. The before and after printout from the second place on Hole is posted and shows the adjustments for tow, camber, and castor were all completely off, and had to be corrected. This Magnuson had no printer for a printout so I could not compare. I paid another $130 for this second alignment because I don't want to worry about safety issues in my steering.

Been coming here for a few years and always appreciate the service. We recently bought a used car from prime time auto(norco, ca) and with in a month had to replace the engine. This was in march, it's September and were still trying to get this car at 100%. The mechanics here have helped us out a great deal. From just being friendly to offering alternatives for new parts we may not be able to afford. They always take the time to explain the what and why's of their work. They even discount large jobs and have done some work for free which has been really awesome since we are there so often. There maybe places in the area that are cheaper, but you get what you pay for and sometimes that's not great. If your a customer here, they take care of you.

I have been their customer for 2years. They have done 6 of my cars both tint and stereo. Their quality of work is good. But they customer service is horrible. Today they will tell you the price tomorrow it's 30 bucks more. They are not reliable at all. They talk like they don't care.

The guys there were great, Ernesto and Rene were great they resolve my issues got me back on the road they did it in a timely manner and well within budget love them over there. Would recommend them to all my friends and family if you're looking for a great place to get tires and work done on your cars this is it, while I was there there were several cars I believe they were State cars and the guys say they bring them all the time to get all the routine maintenance.

Got my starter replaced for half of what of what the dealership wanted to charge! Work was finished in 3hrs! They also told me what to look out for and other future problems I might have with make and model since I have a popular car that a lot of have people have and they work on a lot of them.

These guys are just awesome. I bought a used car and was planning to take it on an 8 hour drive home the next day, but the tires the last owner had on were dangerously worn. Magnuson was the closest shop so I went there (didn’t want to drive far on those tires) and they were able to get me some nice Toyo tires ordered and installed the same day! There were incredibly transparent about the entire process. I waited a couple hours at the shop for the delivery truck to bring the tires, which they installed ASAP since they prepped the car in advance. They also warned me, unprompted, that my brakes were severely worn and I should get them replaced ASAP. “You can drive fast, but you can’t stop fast,” they said. Thanks to their service and attentiveness, I was able to make my journey smoothly and safely as planned, with a good dose of strategic engine braking. I also has a great time hearing some car stories from the brothers while I waited. These guys can be a little spacey but they are a joy to work with, and they get the job done! I don’t usually write any reviews at all, but these guys deserve it. Go here if you need tires!

I have a FORD! NUFF said! 😂 I also will never have to fret over trusting a mechanic or their work. One of the most important things in life, for me, finding a mechanic I can trust. I can trust Magnuson Tire & Auto because they are trustworthy, period. From oil change, to cooling system, brakes and rotors and calipers, starter, Rene and his team have delivered. If you want an auto repair shop who delivers on their word and are competitively priced, professionals, take your whip to Magnuson Tire and Auto. This isn't a paid actor giving a review but a regular citizen who thinks of mechanics as a necessary and essential part of life. Nor is this a paid sponsorship, this is coming from a hard working man on a budgets who is completely happy with his mechanic's!

I heard about these guys through a recommendation and I’m so happy with their work and the total price spent on repairs. My car literally was not turning on but these guys figured it out. They ended up replacing my starter and made some electrical repairs. Overall these guys saved me from going to the dealership and saved me from getting fired. Very good service, I have no complaints and will be going back. The mechanics are also very handsome, friendly and professional so that’s a plus lol. Highly recommend.

Subject: Huge thanks to Magnuson Tire and Wheel Service! Dear Magnuson Tire and Wheel Service, There's nothing more stressful than being 300 miles away from home and having your car's warning light come on. I can't tell you how stressful it was, but your service at 200 S D Street in Perris, California, was absolutely amazing. You replaced my alternator within an hour, which was incredibly fast and efficient. I was so impressed with your professionalism and the speed at which you resolved the issue. Thank you again for your excellent service. I will definitely recommend Magnuson Tire and Wheel Service to anyone in need of automotive repairs. Sincerely, Henry Benavidez

Glad we found this place, their mechanical work is spot on, and they get you in and out in a timely manor. Great prices and courteous customer service. We now take our entire fleet here. Magnuson Tire & Auto is a step above our last mechanic. They even warranteed break pads as they were lifetime pads, which no one has ever done anywhere. It is refreshing to deal with honest people who do good work.

I went in for an oil change and the staff noticed my brake pads were coming to an end. I decided to have them change the pads and WORST MISTAKE EVER! I left the shop with a damaged front bumper because the guy working on my car put the gear into Drive instead of Reverse and smacked right into their tool cabinet (Okay, accidents happen). They know a guy who does body work, so my bumper was repainted, but the color doesn't quite match as my car is metallic gray and the color painted on looks to be a mixture of olive green and gray, and the dents on the bottom of my bumper caused by the tool cabinet weren't buffered out. Then I started having an obnoxious screech every time I turned the steering wheel so I took my car to BURKE'S AUTO BODY who quickly found out my brake pads and the clips were placed incorrectly, the rotors were NEVER resurfaced (this needs to be done every time you replace brake pads) and WHOEVER HANDLED MY CAR TOOK A HAMMER TO MY ROTORS CAUSING AN UNEVEN SURFACE/ALIGNMENT (Now I’m thinking this guy was off his meds). This caused my brake pads to scrape against my rotors. Thankfully I went to BURKE'S because they found the problem and fixed it for me unlike Magnuson who told me there was no way they made an error even though we both agreed the sound coming from my car is the sound you'd hear when your breaks are installed incorrectly. Burke’s resurfaced my rotors, placed my brakes and clips on correctly, and managed to align the rotors due to the hammer damage. I paid $457 at Magnuson just to leave with damage and their labor costs MORE than your parts. Burke’s price was $76 INCLUDING LABOR! If you want reliable trustworthy service, then please save yourself the time and $$$ and go to BURKE'S.

$40 is too much just to unmount / remount It's a Toyota a basic tire that cost $79) how is it more than 50% of it just to put it on I believe that's a rip-off even if it cost more it's not fair

Honest, hardworking, thorough, efficient employees who are always willing to take the time to explain the needs of the vehicle to the customer. I have, over the course of the last 2 years, trusted my entire fleet to the team at the Riverside Magnuson Auto. They always go the extra mile to ensure that we are taken care of in a timely manner and they are honest to a fault. We have even taken personal vehicles to them as a result. Thank you for always taking the time to explain what is needed, and provide a fair price for your service.
