Western Brake & Tire was founded in 1962 by Paul Paquette, responding to the demand for a quality automotive store in Anaheim. Paul worked fulltime at the store until 1980, when his son and current owner Joe Paquette took over. With the help of his wife Patty, sons Paul and Joey, and daughter Amanda, Joe runs Western Brake & Tire to the same degree of excellence his father envisioned back in the 1960's.
Without brake fluid, the brakes stop functioning and you lose control of your car. You should change your brake fluid about once a year. A brake fluid flush removes deposits and varnish and adds rust protection so you can rely on your vehicle in every situation. Engine oil's most important function is to keep the moving parts of the engine lubricated.
What can I say about Western Brake and Tire. They replaced a stripped lug nut which 6 other shops declined even touching. Their expertise and world class customer service got me back on the road in hours at a very reasonable cost. I will not hesitate the recommend this shop for all tire needs and will be using them in the future!

I came in with a flat tire a little later in the afternoon. Western Brake & Tire was able to replace my tire on the spot in about 20 min while I waited. They were incredibly helpful, and I plan on going back should the need arise for anything else. Thank you guys!

The best auto repair spot I found so far. They fixed a lug nut issue with my car and all for $100! Very responsive and very pleasant to deal with! Will definitely be returning to this business!

After arriving in Anaheim the night before a day at Disneyland, I discovered an issue with my front tire. I wasn't sure what to do given that after a day at Disney, we would have a long hour and a half drive home late at night. I went online and found Goodyear/ Western Tire and made an appointment online for 7:45 am. The morning of our Disneyland day, the staff at Goodyear/Western Tire had us checked-in, the car trouble fixed, and back on the road in about 30 minutes. They saved our Disney day! Thanks so much! You guys are the best!

Drove my 2010 Hyundai Accent from Sacramento to Anaheim for my son and became aware of some major brake issues along the way. Called the closest brake shop (with the best reviews) to get an appointment and was able to get in right away. Alex (Service Manager) was super friendly and gave me a price quote right away. He even dropped me off and picked me up from my hotel so I wouldn't have to get an Uber. Overall great customer service, responsive, and fair pricing. Highly recommend.

Was looking for a shop to take my car for it's regular services or repairs and came across Western Tire Auto Service. Called for an oil change and the very nice man on the phone said I could go right then. No wait, professional staff, honest and no pressure recommendations at fair prices. So far, I have a feeling I'll be coming here for all of my car needs. Highly recommend clean waiting area, excellent overall experience.

I was greeted with amazing service when coming in due to a flat tire. They put on my spare at no extra charges because they did not have my tire in stock, and when the correct tire arrived they put it on for me really quickly. Will be returning here for future car troubles if needed. 10/10 service. Services: Auto tire replacement, Tires

Thank you to Paul and your team and Western Brake and Tire. Thorough, responsive, quick, and affordable. Most of all, this business is honest. What do I know about car repair? They understand that I do not know about engine repair, explained everything in a manner that I can understand, and in no way tried to oversell or take advantage of me.

My tire popped and this was the nearest location to my job. They were all so kind and informative. I let them know of any affordable options and they went above and beyond to find and offer me something around my budget. Great shop! Services: Tires, General repairs & maintenance

I was quoted $1300 at Pep boys for new rotors and brake pads. I took my car to Western Brake and Paul was very professional and easy to deal with. Paul checked out my car and determined that I only needed rear brake pads and rotated the rotors for me. I spent $230 and saved almost $1100 dollars. I will never take my car anywhere else then Western Brake and Tire. They are very friendly and professional as well as customer oriented. I can't thank them enough!

They are professional and knowledgeable about all there services. Thought I needed a whole brake service (front and back) going in, but instead they recommended, just resurfacing of pads, shoes, rotors, drum. They saved me a lot of money. Very trustworthy shop! Will recommend this place. Service: Brakes

I drove in from out of town and found a nail in one of my tires. The family and I had plans so I wanted to get this fixed asap. Went to 4 different tire shops and they all told me it would take 2 to 3 hours to get it fixed. Finally went to Western Brake and I noticed they were busy too. Joe asked what I needed help with and I told him about the tire.

He confirmed they were busy but said he would get it done. He quickly paged one of the employees and they got me out in less than an hour. I appreciate Joe and the rest of the staff for the amazing service. Highly recommend!

My 1st visit to this shop was on October 14 2021 and for sure will not be the last, thanks for the great costumer service provided by PAUL. I've going to another car shop in Anaheim for the last the 3 and my last time I was very disappointed for the price of a break service they try to charge witch I refused and went around to check other places and luckily I find this place which the price was much better and also I did not need to do all the stuff the other shop told me. Thank you so much for the service provided and for the honest estimate.

Joe was very nice and helped me out with my flat tire. He gave me the quote, the paperwork and if I had any questions or concerns, I can directly call them. I would just come back for the service alone. Thank you so much for your help! Service: Tires

Came in on Saturday with a flat tire. They did not have my size tire in stock. They put on my spare, at no charge, and told me to come back Monday and they would have it. Came back on Monday and they got me in and out very quickly. Great quality service is why I use them for all my car repair needs. They keep my "OLD BETSY" on the road and running well. Alex and Paul will take good care of you.

I always have a good experience getting maintenance down that I can't do alone here. The employees are helpful and honest, the work quick and of quality, and they offer good advice on repairs you want to try for yourself. I used to live local to them, but now take the time to drive out to them without hesitation to continue doing business with them.

Very friendly, helpful and professional. I had gone to other places but only them were able to quickly tell me what was wrong with my car and got it fix. They weren't going around, they found the problem and were very straight forward. I would definitely recommend them. Service: General repairs & maintenance

Highly recommended A+++ value and service! After making the drive from Seattle to OC for a new job, my 2006 Explorers battery kept dying. I changed the battery and alternator myself with parts from Autozone and worked well for 3 days. Then had a dead battery again. I was referred to Joe from a coworker. I dropped off my explorer at 7am and briefly described the problem.

By 11am my car was ready for pickup and has had no problems! They were fair and honest. Exactly what you want in a mechanic and they have earned all my future business as a one stop shop.

We needed our tire fixed as an emergency. They were really busy but went out of their way to help us still. Service was great and the customer service was excellent! Thank you for helping us! We had our 2 kids with us and they were very patient with us.

Found them online when I was traveling and had an engine light pop on. They were very accommodating, quick to help me, knew what they were doing, had good pricing, and had some very good coffee choices! One of the highlights of my trip, to be honest.

Consistent exceptional customer service is one of the many reasons I continue to do business with the team at Western Brake and Tire. Today's thanks goes to Alex and Joe. After running into a difficult situation at my local Valvoline dealer I traveled across town to ensure a successful result. Thanks for fitting me in your busy day and resolving the oil cap issue, great to know being towed wasn't an option! Service, pricing, professionalism always! Thanks Alex~

Came in to get some new tires and have my brakes looked at, as well as an oil change. Paul was extremely helpful and honest. He could have easily told me I need to replace both my front and rear brake pads but let me know I still had some life in my front brakes. With all the work I had done they were still able to get all done in the same day. Everything was communicated during the process as well which I really appreciate. I will definitely be bringing my car back here for my services and repairs!

Joe and Paul were wonderful to work with! We brought our son's 1995 Mazda Miata fixer-upper to them for some things he couldn't fix. They found the necessary parts for this vintage car when they could and did the repairs in a very timely fashion. We will be coming back again When we need work done! Services: Air conditioning, Engine repair, Body & Trim

We were driving on the freeway through Anaheim and just like that, something on the ground punctured my back tire and immediately flattened it. Needless to say it was a harrowing experience but made less so by the awesome people at Western Brake and Tire Auto Center. After our "Hero" tow truck driver dropped our car and us off here, we received prompt, courteous, and professional customer care. Thank you Alex! If we didn't live so far out of the area, this would be my new "go to" auto center.

I have been taking all my vehicles here for years. I trust Joe and Paul, they never try to sell me something I don't need. They are reliable, honest and great to work with. They also handle all the fleet vehicles for my company. I highly recommend this business.

My parents bought 4 brand new run flat tires through these guys on 4/10/2021 and paid over $1000. A week later the rear right tire was about empty, so they brought it in and got it aired up. Alex, the manager, even said that it looked like someone let the air out. Yesterday they had to bring the car in AGAIN because the brand new tire had no air in it. Again, Alex checked em out and found that the tire had a "pin size hole inside the tire".?

Obviously we want a new tire. After paying for BRAND NEW TIRES this one is obviously faulty. They refused and slapped a patch on the inside of a RUN FLAT TIRE. They said they have to follow the Pirelli protocol which is patching it- if it is patchable. Well today my dad called Pirelli and they said that that's not the protocol. That you cannot/ DO NOT patch a run flat. Sooooooo here we are waiting for these guys to fix this problem with a brand new tire that was paid for. Let's get this problem resolved, Alex? I will post the invoice when I get my hands on.

While traveling to LA on vacation we got a large nail in our tire as well as a low pressure warning in the other. I showed up with no appt and the team quickly got me in as the store opening and was able to repair the tire and sort out my false low pressure light issue. They saved me from wasting a whole vacation day with my family. Thanks guys!

I would definitely advise anyone with a luxury vehicle to AVOID Western Brake & Tire. I brought in my Audi to have my brakes done. I typically take it to Audi in Arizona but am out here for work and the Audi out here couldn't get me in for weeks. When I showed up at Western, Alex told me that I didn't need my brakes done which is completely false and I had documentation from Audi to show I needed my brakes done.

I asked them to at least do an alignment to help my car ride smoother, they told me supposedly they did. I took it to discount tire a week later to change out my tires and they let me watch them load the vehicle onto the scale to show me that my alignment was terribly off. I called Alex at Western and told him i'd like a refund and I would provide the paperwork showing the alignment was off.

He immediately started accusing Discount Tire of lying to me (Discount didn't charge me for an alignment, so no reason to lie) and said "Did you know they can off balance the scales?" before giving me a chance to respond he said "that's what I thought, you don't know". I asked for his manager and he verbatim said "there is no one above me, I am the assistant manager". Basically, Alex is extremely rude, has terrible customer service skills and Western Brake DID NOT perform the job that I paid for.

Paul has been servicing my families cars for years and always has been great to us. He is a straight shooter and a great guy. Rare in this time and age to have people who are honest and genuine. They serviced my truck last week and found a cost effective way to get everything done for me. Thanks Paul!

Great honest place. I usually do my own maintenance, but I take my car here for things I can't do myself since it's so close to where I work. I was recently suspecting the clutch on my Si needed replacement because I saw my clutch fluid below the minimum. They took my car in same day for an inspection, found my car was fine, and topped off the clutch fluid for me. The guys are knowledgeable and honest. I 100% recommend them for any car needs.

Always friendly and always on time. Best part those guys aren't trying to sell you unnecessary services or parts and are pretty straight forward with was your issues are. Always good to have a good mechanic on your side. Give em a try, you won;t be disappointed.
