    Pristine & beautiful with no issues!
    Chelsea G.

    THIS PLACE IS Amazing. Do not bother wasting another moment of your time anywhere else!!!! Absolutely blown away by the amazing service I got here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Alex, Jesse, and the wonderful tech guy whose name I can't remember (so sorry) truly went above and beyond and I simply cannot recommend BCR more.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Before BCR, I had always gone back to the dealership for service and been wildly disappointed with service and issues dragging on for weeks on end and getting charged ridiculous pricing. Today, I am so happy to say, the cycle has officially been broken! My sweet husband Bought me a beautiful new SE from out of state from a "reputable" dealer, and it arrived with the check engine light on, covered in dirt, weeks late. The entire vehicle was questionable and needed inspection from an objective source. I was so upset and disappointed by the entire situation - Despite my anger and frustrations, I called BCR for some help hoping they could come to my rescue - AND BOY THEY SURE DID!!! They not only saved the day, but went above and beyond. I will now never go anywhere else! (I hope you guys like talking to me, because I am officially a customer for life - you will be seeing me every six months to a year for my regular service, as I will drive a RR until I die. You will also be seeing all of my family members who also drive Rovers.) My experience was this: [[HIGHLIGHT]]They picked up their phone on my first ring, immediately explained their process, and were SO TRANSPARENT with their extremely reasonable / inexpensive pricing right off the bat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was in SUCH a bad mood when I called, and within 30 seconds of our call, Alex was able to calm me, reassure me, and handled the situation better than most husbands handle angry wives. 10 gold stars.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Yesterday morning, I called at 8:05a, I arrived at 9:45a, and even though they were working on several other cars, I was greeted immediately with someone RUNNING up to my car, addressed me by my NAME as they were expecting me, and then to made sure that I got immediate attention with a friendly smile.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I met with Alex who had me checked in & out in less than 3 minutes, all while making sure I had water & transportation organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After leaving my vehicle there for them to diagnose, I was so surprised to hear that by 1:45PM that day they had ALREADY gotten back to me with updates, given the entire car and tech a thorough once over, and diagnosed the problem, and were calling to confirm I was good to go ahead with the not - so - easy fix. But of course they handled it perfectly. The car has a custom matte wrap on it (requires special washing) and even though the vehicle having a thick layer dirt on it from careless transport (it was supposed to be transported enclosed and the sending dealership dropped the ball on this) was NOT their problem, BCR got in touch with a detail specialist who was able to come out and detail the car while it was STILL IN THEIR POSSESSION and bring it back to a pristine new. ALL IN THE SAME DAY THEY INITIATED AND HANDLED THIS. 10 more gold stars. The car was ready for me to pick up in less than 24 hours from the time I dropped it off, and I didn't even have to ask them to move quickly. They understood the situation, made me a priority, communicated effectively and without wasting my time, moved with a sense of urgency, with full knowledge of all of the quirks of Range Rovers (IYKYK), and did a better job than any other actual Land Rover dealership I have EVER worked with. This same issue would have taken weeks if it was handled elsewhere (this is my 5th Rover and not the first time I have dealt with this problem, so I'm very familiar from past experience). I have never received the care, attention to detail, fairness, and seen the true knowledge of rovers as perfectly displayed as I just experienced. I typically dread scheduling service for my vehicle as it always is such a major inconvenience, and I always feel like I'm getting screwed over. BCR has eliminated that feeling for me, and I am SO relieved that I now have them as an amazing source to come back to anytime I need anything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! NEVER THOUGHT ID SAY THIS to a place that's servicing my vehicle, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing you all next time!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Range Rovers and Jaguars.........................so pretty and luxurious but as with a lot of cars that are new and full of more electronics than the Space Shuttle Orbiter, it takes seriously well trained and knowledgeable people to handle such complex machinery consisting of mechanics, electric and drive train. Sure, if your car is under warranty feel free to go to the Dealership, you might get your car back in a month. At BCR, Jesse (owner) and Alex (Service Manager) have your back, they are upfront, honest and make those issues with your British luxury ride go away and you will be back on the road. What I like best about these fellas is that when you bring in your vehicle for an issue, they go the extra mile and inspect all the other points and advise you of what may come and thus recommending preventive maintenance. Personally, I brought in a Jaguar XK8 and it needed things, these fellas did not even bat an eye and now I have it back and it is better than ever. Clear and precise communication from Alex and Jesse made me believe in BCR. Strong Recommend from me and I am a car guy.

    Shoutout Alex!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The most lovely helpful kind honest and professional people work here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend. Got my Rover checked in like 10 minutes and I will forever get my maintenance done here!

    Overall, it was a "known quality" good experience, A-OKAY, and I'd endorse them and come back…read moreagain. There are some pros and cons that can be debated. This is what they call a "Drive Through" service, so you come, and there's 3 service station lanes, you pick one and it takes 15 minutes for an oil change. So, you stay in your car and wait, you don't park and set an appointment or leave to do anything else. You sit and wait from waiting through process service and finish. If you come when it's empty, it's fast and convenient. If you came and there's 3 cars ahead of you in a lane, you can assume each car represents 15 minutes and your own car takes 15 minutes, and that equates to a minimum of a 1 hour processing time from the start of your wait 'til the completion of your oil change. Maybe more as they offer other services and have to check you out with payment processing. They do their multi-point car inspection for trivial things like windshield wiper blades inspection (with potential upselling replacement installation), Air Filters, Tires, etc. - - If you're good at declining/saying "no" and not being a fear factor impulse agreeing type, you're "safe" as they are not "high pressure" sales team that uses scare tactics and are just doing their job with safety inspections. It's a business model to upsell customers, no harm, no foul common with every garage/auto service. So, their pricing is where it comes subjective. Their rate card in 2025, I believe is $57 for a regular oil/filter change, $80 for a hybrid synthetic oil/filter change, and $107 for a full synthetic oil/filter change. You'll probably never pay rate card. They offer coupons online on their own site for discounts. They have FSI (Free Standing Insert) mailers they distribute coupons. You'll see $10 off, 20% off, and various discounts of you Google search for offers. They have/had a Groupon coupon for 40% off (although the Groupon offer doesn't include sales tax and a disposal fee, so you'll have an outstanding balance beyond what you paid for the Groupon as an FYI). The bottom line is you need to do your own research in your area for the best rates if you're just looking for the cheapest oil change. Generally, oil changes for standard oil is as low as $40 and synthetic oil can be $60 and up, but that might mean driving to Gardena or further. With that, Valvoline has a FMV (fair market value) rate based on convenience and expertise. They're not an indie garage; they're a known quality company. The staff is excellent here. I called and a lady answering was so super friendly, helpful and nice. The service crew were young and very professional and polite. I don't know about their experiences and skills, but it seems like a simple oil change these days where they don't even hoist your car up on a lift and drain the oil out, but seem to stick a vacuum tube from the top dipstick pipe and suck out the old oil and then use the same to refill the new oil. I'm not sure if that rids off of the sediment that settles at the bottom or not, but I imagine it's "good enough" as they also recommend oil changes every 3,000 miles and/or 3 months as a suggestion. I used to think (and still do) that with Synthetic Oil, you can easily go 7,000+ miles and maybe even 1 year without an oil change (check your dipstick to see if the golden oil is black and has any sediment as your own DIY judgement as possible determining evidence of necessity) Sure, you could get a cheaper oil change (much as you could also pay more). The experience of the service would be harder to compare and beat 'tho as the staff here were nice. I have read peer Yelp reviews that range from * one star to * * * * * five stars, so there's no guarantee on what your experience will be, but like everything else, "do your homework" and read all of the reviews to determine if this could be the place for you. For my basic oil change it worked for me.

    Wait time is over 30 minutes. No one comes to greet you while you're waiting to tell you how long…read morethe wait is. They try to upsell you on air filters and windshield wipers. Painful. Do not come here if there is anyone in front of you

    WORST SERVICE out of any valvoline I've ever been to. Every service I've had the past few years at…read moreany valvoline has always been consistent and quick but this location was the worst experience out them all. The technician Hector that helped me today was extremely unprofessional, careless, and irresponsible. If I could give 0 stars I would, because customer service from him was the beyond terrible. Background: I came in there for a normal oil change around 9:45am in the morning. There was only one other car there and overall didn't seem too busy. However the technician that came to help me had a persistent cough that day so I kept my window half up as a protective barrier. He constantly coughed through our conversation (which normally I wouldn't mind from anyone) but the fact he would cough openly without a mask or would not at least cough into the elbow made me extremely uneasy. I'd often have to ask him to repeat himself because his coughs made it difficult to understand him and he became very frustrated by this. He blamed me for keeping my window up as the issues for not hearing him (but I've done this at other locations and never had an issue), blamed my window up for why my tap to pay wouldn't work , and then tapped aggressively on my window to bring it down (which I would not do as I was also protecting my family inside who witnessed his awful behavior). Eventually I had to pay with my card which worked, but he returned it with oil marks left all over my white card. I had to ask for a napkin to wipe the oil off my card and my hands, but 1) I'm pretty sure that's a safety hazard getting oil on the customer and 2) he certainly was not changing gloves as needed according to the valvoline health and safety guidelines. As someone who works in healthcare, I understand if you need to work while sick or with a cough, but it's completely unprofessional to be rude to your customers for your lack of hygiene.

Fair enough. I stood there patiently at the front desk for about five minutes, fully visible, and got absolutely no acknowledgment. No glance, no gesture, no wave. Nada. With the clock ticking and closing time creeping, I went back to my car to restart my search; stressed and sitting there with a sagging tire. Then I saw Eric and his coworker out front. They looked friendly, available, and most importantly, present. I walked over, Eric came to take a look, quickly assessed the situation, had me pull the car up, and got straight to work. He handled it quickly, efficiently, and right before closing time. I didn't have cash on me, but this review is the least I could do after he quite literally did the heavy lifting. If it weren't for Eric, this would have been a very different review. Funny how often the people furthest from the front desk are the ones actually carrying the business. Some people hold the title. Some people do the tire lifting. Eric is clearly the latter. So yes, 5 stars for Eric. In this little roadside drama, he was the fix, while others felt more like the nail in the tire, expecting the other three wheels to do all the work. Thank you, Eric, for the hospitality, the efficiency, and for working right up against the clock.

That's happened to me three times now for one reason or another and these guys have always come through in the clutch! Joey (Manager) was particularly awesome in handling this scenario, he finished the tires quickly but even more importantly I had to come back in b/c I was immediately getting TPM malfunction error when I picked the car up -- Joey checked it quickly, identified it was a damaged sensor, and fixed at no charge (when he could have said it was something else / my fault and charged me for it)... They were HONEST with what had happened and quickly replaced with zero hassle, really a stand up place... and I've seen similar good signs over the years from multiple employees here. Highly recommend these guys, including for more expensive vehicles like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, etc.

Bryce, the Service Manager, was outstanding. He was professional, honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. Even though the store was clearly very busy, he made me feel like my vehicle was a priority and got me in and out much faster than I expected. It's easy to see why this location is always so busy--it's exceptionally well run. What really stood out was the culture. Everyone seemed to genuinely care about the customers, and the experience felt more like having family take care of your car than visiting an auto repair shop. That kind of customer service is rare these days. Bryce and the entire team have earned my business going forward. I'll be switching to this location for all of my future service needs, even though there are other Firestone stores closer to me. Keep up the outstanding work. This is how great customer service should be done!

He had me roll my car back and forth over and over and even chalk marked my tire to show that it was gone. He also checked to make sure there wasn't a slow leak. Just super nice guy that made my day. I'll be back if/when a screw does ruin my day!
