First time ever going in this place. I needed two front tires and a alignment. Quoted me with 170 dollars per tire for 340.00 plus alignment total cost 650 dollars. ?? I told the rep. I wanted the cheapo 108 dollar tires. Said it would take a couple of days to get those. You are in tire business are you not? So I said; How much for just the alignment? Oh, I do not think our equipment will fit your rims. Not good business... I can do the job myself and get tires for under 200 dollars. I wouldn't of minded to pay a little extra for just not having to do it myself. My recommendation is to stay away from this place. Gouging is happening there.

I have gone to Big O for yrs & they…
I have gone to Big O for yrs & they were always honest not pushing products. New management a few months ago at Martin City, Mo.. I knew I needed new front tires. It was BigO that told me at least 6months ago or more. Different management.No pressure. Back were fine.Suddenly they say the back have rot. Total lie. I dont think they do background checks or they dont care about character or integrity. Just sales anyway they can get it.
Won't go back while under this new management including desk clerks. Too dishonest. Disappointed in the service guys, they likely do what their told... but they do quality work on vehicles.

Warranties mean nothing at Big O of…
Warranties mean nothing at Big O of Bowling Green Ky. There manager kept telling me that the DOT recommends replacing your tires every 5 years! Well mine are not 5 years old yet and are dry rotted! The warranty states life time warranty for materials and workmanship. Well I have news for them. Dry rotted tires in less time then what even the DOT state they should be changed is a problem with materials. This is the third time I’ve had trouble with this Big O and they have lost my business now forever

Do not go here
Do not go here. These people are thieves and liars. They quoted me $950 out the door price for my tires. Then charged me $1045 when I came to pick them up. I feel cheated and abused. Do

Intimidation/Bait-And-Switch
On October 20, 2025, I went to Big O Tires in Orem on State Street and was subjected to a ridiculous bait-and-switch scam by Big O employees whose conduct demonstrated defensiveness/knowledge what they were doing is wrongful/unlawful. I called and spoke to Randy before arriving, explaining that my brake pads sounded like they were rubbing or scratching, and that I thought I may need new brake pads (on my 2018 Travato, a Dodge Ram 3500 Promaster with Winnie build out). I arrived and Randy gave me a bid of $1600 which seemed like a lot, but he stated that my brake pads and rotors were in need of replacement and that a caliper was “stuck.” He said my Ram brakes pads etc. cost more than most cars . . . then came back with a new estimate of $1719.70 in writing, stating that he “forgot” to add a charge. He drew a large, bold line under $1719.70, in black ink indicating the “bottom line,” total charge for the work. I reluctantly agreed to pay $1719.70, but it seemed odd that he “forgot” a charge when he does this daily. The work began and Randy left. When the work was done, Trevor handed me a bill for $1878.97. I said this is not the amount I agreed to pay, and that Big O employees changed the amount twice, increasing it by nearly $300 in an apparent bait-and-switch maneuver. Trevor tried telling me the increase was due to sales tax, then showed me the “bottom line” document Randy had shown me and someone had taken a blue ink pen and written “+ tax” just below the $1719.70 that Randy had boldly underlined with black ink as the bottom line. I pointed out that someone else had added the “+ tax” after I agreed to the $1719.70 total and that they hadn’t even bothered to use the same color of pen, then tried to tell me that the “+ tax” had been there all along. It was not; had it been there I would have asked for the real total, bottom line. I told Trevor this was inappropriate behavior by the Big O employees, and someone had obviously added (in blue ink) additional charges that were not presented to me and that I did not agree to. Then, in front of other employees and customers, Trevor raised his voice and loudly shouted in my face, “You’re FU*KING freaking out about sales tax!!” I calmly replied that he was the one raising his voice and using the “F word,” and my complaint was not about tax, but about the bait-and-switch shenanigans by the Big O employees. As a lawyer of over 35 years, I am aware of these types of tactics, and especially how, once caught, dishonest people tend to shout and bully and intimidate customers, as Trevor did to me. Surely Big O is doing something wrong to create an incentive among its employees to treat customers this way. As a former employment lawyer, I cannot imagine that Big O does not know about this or is not encouraging it. I am here to help anyone who needs help or a witness to what these clowns are doing at Big O in Orem, Utah. I can be reached via my civil rights website, LordAdvocates (.org).

Big O Tires in Jackson Wyoming Needs Senior Leadership Guidance and Development
I visited Big O Tires in Jackson, Wyoming on 11/13/25 in the afternoon. The manager was polite but explained that no more oil changes would be done that day, and asked me to return the next morning at 7:30 a.m.
On 11/14/25, I arrived at 6:50 a.m. and waited until the doors opened at 7:35. I handed over my keys and phone number, was quoted the cost of the oil change, and was told I’d receive a call when the vehicle was ready. Unfortunately, the experience that followed was disappointing:
- By 9:30 a.m., my vehicle was still not ready.
- Staff prioritized another vehicle that arrived after mine.
- The assistant manager was unaware of the status of my service.
- A bay employee struggled to reinstall the undercarriage cover and had to call for help.
- I did not get my vehicle back until nearly 11:00 a.m.
- I was offered only a $10 discount for the inconvenience, despite having a six-hour drive ahead of me.
My Observations
- Oil changes were clearly not treated as a priority.
- Management cited staffing shortages, yet underqualified employees were left to work independently without oversight.
- Leadership failed to communicate effectively, leaving the assistant manager uninformed.
- Senior staff did not step in to support less experienced employees.
- Overall, leadership demonstrated poor performance and weak accountability.
Conclusion
This experience reflects a lack of leadership and training that could pose safety risks for customers. A “first in, first out” approach would be a simple improvement. More importantly, senior management must actively guide and support their team rather than leaving underqualified employees to struggle. Customers deserve timely service, competent workmanship, and meaningful compensation when delays occur.

Taken for a ride at 9th So 300 W SLC Big O
I took my 2018 Silverado in for a simple rotate and balance to 9th so 300 w SLC. I was told I had one bent wheel (these are factory 22" wheels about $800 a piece new) they said it couldn't be repaired and ask me if I wanted them thrown in the trash) HA. I bought new wheels and left with a $2100.00 bill. The new wheels were not right for my truck and I had to take it back three times for them to mess with the alignment so they wouldn't rub. I asked them to take the wheels back but they wouldn't. Turns out I could have my old wheel repaired at Wheel Werks and did for $175.00. I was a long time customer of this Big O store but will never go back. Went to Les Schawb and what a difference in service and honesty. Big O also told me I need all shocks and struts replaced. Les Schwab said only my rear shocks were bad.

Avoid! Total Scam
I took my car to Big O Tires last week for a battery replacement and oil change, and when I went to pick it up, the total was $650. Absolutely outrageous. The battery alone was $420 for an AGM, which I looked up online later and found was completely overpriced. I paid it, reluctantly.
Then, I got in my car and immediately noticed the check engine light was on. Mason came out and checked it, then had the nerve to ask me “Are you sure it wasn’t already on?” Uh… YES, I’m sure. Then he claimed they “documented” that it was on before they started working on it. What a convenient excuse. Sketchy doesn’t even begin to describe this, it felt like a slimy way to cover their tracks in case anything went wrong. He reset the light and it didn’t come back, which makes it even more suspicious.
While I was there, I asked for a rough estimate for brake repairs on my boyfriend’s car. Mason said about $500–$600, which sounded fine. We brought it in today for the inspection and suddenly they quoted us $840. We said no and walked out. Not even 10 minutes later, they called us back to say they “over quoted” and now it’s actually $650. Yeah, that’s not an accident, that’s a bait and switch. It’s a scam, plain and simple.
Everything about this place reeks of shady practices. Between the inflated prices, the check engine light cover-up, and the wild quoting games, it’s clear they’re trying to squeeze every dollar they can from people who don’t know better. I’ve seen reviews saying people felt scammed, now I know exactly what they mean.
I will never go back here and I’ll be posting this review on every single platform I can to warn others. Stay far away from Big O Tires.
