Don’s Brake & Wheel

WOW! Is all I can say. These guys are awesome. They will only service what you really need. My new place for brakes. Carlos helped me so much and he really knows what he’s doing. I feel so blessed to have found such a trustworthy people!

We take all of our family cars to Joe and he gives us a great price and excellent service. We own, jeeps, mercedes, BMW’s, Lexus, and a Tesla. We won’t go anywhere else.

My friend Raffaele went to Dons today to get his brakes done and I was with him throughout the whole process and I was so impressed at how fast and honest Joe Constantino was when dealing with us. Joe is the owner and not only did he get to work on the car immediately he came and picked Raffaele up when the car was done. I’m giving him 5 stars for the quality of work and the professionalism you get with Dons Brake and Wheels. Super impressed and I suggest that if you need brake services call Joe Constantino !

Would like to thank Carlos for his outstanding service today. Went to Dons Brake & Wheel convinced I needed front brakes for my Toyota Corrola because of hearing occasional squeeking. However as it turns out my front brakes were fine and my rear brakes just needed to be cleaned a little. It is nice to find an honest shop who will not sell you something you do not need. Thanks Carlos. In closing I was only charged $ 18 but more importantly it was the honest service I received that will make me a returning customer.

Joe is the best! Honest, affordable and dependable. My husband and I take our cars to him and also our three daughters cars. We trust him 100% and he doesn’t try and up-​sell you. He also happens to be a really great guy! We highly recommend Don’s Brake and Wheel.

Joe (owner) and Carlos did a great job on my car. Joe was helping people evacuate from the fires this morning and raced down to the shop to do the post-​brake-​replacement test drive.
My car is a smart fortwo and Joe did a little legwork to find the hard-​to-​locate pads.
Super nice guy and was really professional and personable. Fantastic «mom & pop» business. We have another vehicle that needs brakes soon and this is where we’ll bring it.

The owner is tremendous. After examining my car he felt like he could not honestly do it the proper service. So he found another place for me phoned them and let me know they would take my car. Unbelievable honesty and courtesy. I will always take my brakes there in the future.

Was next door at Napa getting a new battery and Joe, the owner of Don’s just happened to be outside and came over and helped me. He ended up taking my battery out, carrying it inside and then installed it for me for free. He is a really nice guy and I wouldn’t hesitate taking my car to him in the future.

Joe and Carlos were excellent with diagnosing the problem with my Scion Xa, and with providing fast and attentive service to get the problem fixed.
It’s really, really refreshing to have a mechanic that takes the time and is genuinely interested in solving my problem without trying to take advantage of my lack of knowledge about cars…
Highly recommended!

If your looking for a good mechanic, you definitely wont be disappointed if you go see Joe at don’s. I brought my car to him yesterday morning in RARE form, he had it ready for me that same evening. My car runs better than it ever has since buying it in 04. he treats everyone like family, very personable, great communication, keeping you informed. Very refreshing to finally find a honest, hard working mechanic thats Isn’t ooking to dig in your pockets. highly recommend.

One of our vehicles was starting to grind when breaking. After reading the glowing reviews on Unilocal for Don’s Brake and Wheel we called Joe. He was booked that day but suggested we bring it in for a quick look to put our minds at ease until we could schedule an appointment. He got us in right away & upon putting the car on the lift we were able to see how bad it really was. We were very close to having a blow-​out, not to mention the front breaks needing repair. He said he would get it fixed for us that day & even offered to give us a ride back to the office while he was working on it. He gave us a great price too.
He was able to put us in touch with Los Reyes Tire Shop down the street where we got 2 used tires in great shape, for only $ 30 each. And he gave us the name of Sam’s Alignment to bring it into to get the alignment fixed, which we did and were very happy with.
We would highly recommend Don’s Brake and Wheel, Joe was extremely nice & saved us a lot of money. He even told us to bring the car back in 6 months & he would readjust & inspect the rear brakes at no charge.
We do our very best to always treat our customers the way we expect to be treated by others in the service industry. Joe and Don’s Brake and Wheel is without a doubt that place: fair, honest, and he goes the extra mile for his customers. Whenever we need our trucks serviced we will definitely be calling Don’s Brake and Wheel.

Was honestly just looking for place near my house so I could walk back while I got my brakes changed, until I met Joe. Instead of walking a mile back he offered me a ride to my house and picked me up when it was done. Don’t get your hopes up if you don’t live close but he did this without me even asking. A really awesome place that won’t try to sell you anything you don’t need as well as reasonably priced, to say the least. This is my first Unilocal review and likely my only one but this place deserves it.

I love this place! Joe is a really nice guy and he is always very professional, honest and does great work. We use him for our company vehicles and I use him for my truck. I just got my brakes done and he did them the same day! He told me to bring it back free of charge in 6 months to see if they need any adjustments.
This is a family owned business that has been around for years and you get the feeling that your part of the family. Even the other customers know him very well and they chat with you as well. I refer people to him all the time. If you need any work done that he does not do, he will refer you to another reputable mechanic. His prices are very reasonable, he does not sell you anything you do not need. It’s very important to find a great mechanic such as Joe.

My family has also been going to Don’s Brake & Wheel since the 70’s. Joe is a great guy and makes you feel like family. Whenever I’m waiting for my car, at least one person I know comes in to say hi or to make an appointment or to ask Joe to take a look at a problem with their car.
He is very fair and does a fantastic job. He always gets me the best price for parts.
I have referred many friends to Don’s and will continue to do so.
PS He’s also a great reference for other types of car repairs!

THE PLACE TO GO!!! First time going here and I’m impressed! Joe (the owner) is a great guy with great prices, he even picked me up from work downtown! I’m coming back to Don’s Break & Wheel AND I’m bringing my friends and family! THANKS JOE!!!

I worked for a contractor for 8 years and they always used Don’s Brake & Wheel for their multiple vehicles. Joe is very personable. He will tell you what you need and will not rip you off. If you need something other than what Joe provides he will send you in the right direction. He has personally referred me to body shops that have done excellent work on my vehicle. Joe has also worked on my car and I have never had any problems. Fair prices, excellent quality work. Make an appointment though, this man is busy!
You can trust that your vehicle will be fixed timely and correctly if you take it down to Joe. I must say though… the last reviewer mentioned walking around the neighborhood… I wouldn’t suggest it. Its a little rough down there.

Joe is a great guy who will fix your brakes or wheel bearings and have you on your way. Don’s Brake and Wheel is just a little place down the hill from and next to the NAPA parts place, but it’s a clean and organized shop. Joe won’t rip you off and if it’s not his area of expertise, he will point you to someone who can help you and do an equally great job. I’ve been to Joe twice and have been very happy with the outcome. His prices are reasonable and he’s a nice guy. Good luck finding anyone better than Joe to work on your car. He works different hours, usually after 10AM as he’s a devoted dad, so don’t think he’s closed if you don’t see him at 8am.

My family has been coming to Don’s Brake & Wheel since the 1970s.
Don was the original owner and he since has passed on.
His son, Joe, operates the repair brake shop.
Joe is very friendly and communicative.
Compared to many chains, such as Tire Express, his prices
are lower and better parts are used.
I took my 1997 Mazda there to have the brakes checked and Joe
told me everything was okay. Since I was there, though, he
did a minor adjustment for free and sent me on my way,
suggesting I return in six months.
He also pointed out that my driver’s side rear tire was in very bad
shape and recommended getting it replaced ASAP, which I did
at Discount Tire on Mission Gorge Road.
Don’s Brake & Wheel is a no frills shop. There really is
no waiting room, but there are a couple of chairs to sit in
out in front. You also can walk around the neighborhood,
which has some interesting looking old houses, and there
is a nearby pizza place and Kentucky Fried Chicken going east
on Market Street, if you want to get something to eat while waiting.
