I've always been struck by the air of quiet efficiency at Valentino's. Whenever I'm called back it…read moreis clear my problem was carefully listened to and addressed in full.

It was also getting into winter and my Socal self had no idea what that entailed. After doing some research online and on reddit, I found Valentino's as a mechanic that was both reputable and fair priced. I have to admit, I know VERY little about car care and have always just left it in the hands of my mechanics so there is definitely a high level of trust that they won't price gauge me. Seeing as I knew nothing, I left everything in the hands of the employees at Valentino's. I literally told them I just drove out from CA and need an oil change and whatever winter requires. I'm pretty sure I just looked like a deer caught in headlights cause honestly, what is snow even? Anyways, they completed the job in a couple of hours and explained to me what they did. Apparently, my car was already winter ready and my car really only need an oil and air filter change. The total was completely reasonable and they didn't try to sell me any extras. They definitely could have made up some winter requirements and I would have just jumped on it. Anyways, if your car needs repairs of any kind, I'd highly recommend Valentino's! I've already been sending my friends there and everyone's been happy so far!

Easy process through email, no stupid apps or phone calls or online bs, just two people making the appointment. Easy. The way it should be. I even made some suggestions about service for my vehicle (already knowing the answer) but Henry was candid about what was truly needed and what was not & never once tried to up charge or sell anything extra or unnecessary. Transparent with cost & was accurate on time. I really appreciated the quality of service & professionalism, so rare in today's industry. My family will be a repeat customers to this local business!

My interaction with Alex Mickley and Alvaro (Tech) was so efficient that I wish the overall…read moreexperience had been positive. I took my car in for an oil change and suspension concerns. After an inspection, I was told there wasn't anything wrong, even though noises were coming from the front and rear of my car. Additionally, my car was leaking oil only after they changed the oil. I took my car to another shop, and they found that my front sway bar links were completely cracked open and that a plastic cover in the back lacked clips, causing rattling in both places. Lastly, the most frustrating thing to find out was that my undercarriage splash shield was left with only ONE bolt to hold it in place after their service, so it was heavily dangling. If I didn't have access to reliable people, I wouldn't have even known Luke's Auto did such a poor job with my car, and I would have continued to drive my car until it lost steering or leaked the remaining oil.

The attendant offered me a ride home and back with a Lyft driver. I went ahead and took the ride home when she said it would be a few hours. I tried calling at 4:30 and was on hold for over 20 minutes. I finally got a text at 5:00 stating my car was done. I spoke with Denise at checkout and told her the wait was not acceptable. She explained that they had 15 cars towed in that day along with all of the appointments. Uggh. She offered me a discount for my next service. Great value with the coupon. Time or money is the big question on whether I will be back.

The car stopped starting all together, so we had it towed here. Being a AAA member, I had sole trust they could diagnose a pretty simple problem and resolve it relatively cheaply. Their diagnosis was it was a bad battery. When they called to let us know, I explained that was likely the least possible scenario. Surely they checked the starter? Anyway, they charged me over $100 to pay for a diagnostic fee, to tell me the battery was bad - a free service at any auto parts store and also on a brand new battery. I had no choice but to pay because it was a weekend, and was closing soon, and I needed to get it towed to a different shop to get the starter replaced. I called the service manager to explain, and ask they refund the diagnostic fee since it was wrong and poorly diagnosed. He was too busy to talk and said he would call back. Still waiting for that call. I don't think they intentionally tried to take advantage of me, but that was a pretty incompetent diagnosis of a car that wouldn't start and will not rely on them again.
