    It's that time of the year again..... DMV annual registration renewal, and its been two years since the last smog was done on my awesome vintage vehicle so that needed to be done and passed too. First time here yet my mother had been in to work with Pardip (par-deep) this past month for a smog as well and she passed on the first try so she referred me. I also have an aftermarket air filter I am afraid to take off and clean myself as I have no idea how to put it back into place so today, Pardip heard my dilemma and suggested I go to O'Riley's auto parts down the street and pick up an air filter cleaning kit with oil in it. I did so and one of his employees did a thorough job cleaning and reinstalling the air filter for me. What great customer service. My 2005 Chevy Tahoe passed smog on the first try and Pardip did it so fast I no sooner sat down in the lobby when he returned to tell me the good news. Pricing was super fair: $15 labor to clean the reusable air filter $50 Smog Certificate & Smog Pass I thought his pricing and work were both of the highest of quality & he's respectful and polite and easy to speak with. I had a great experience here this week and will be returning. He makes you feel like you've just stepped into a time machine and have been transported back in time, when shop owners were welcoming, honest, polite, agreeable and realistically fairly priced.

    This is the store front.

    Sunday after church, while driving home, my tire pressure light suddenly came on and I wasn't sure…read morewhat to do. I pulled into SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service, and the gentleman there immediately asked how he could help. I explained the situation, and he quickly checked all my tires, letting me know the right front was low--but took care of it right away and made sure everything was good. This wasn't my first visit either. Just two weeks earlier, I had my oil changed and got my smog certificate done there. Each time I've come in, I've been greeted in a friendly, professional manner, and the service has always been efficient and reliable. It's reassuring to know there's a place like this you can stop at, even unexpectedly, and get honest, helpful service. Definitely a shop I feel comfortable returning to.

    Update: I've reported doxxing by the owner to the appropriate authorities. Everyone should be…read moreWARNED that she may dox you if you post a negative review like she did to me. As you can see by the owners response they just don't get it. At all. And there are other customers giving the same feedback. Also the reviews about how if you complain the owner attacks you are spot on. I'm not sure what the owner is playing at by posting my full name and where I live. This is very troubling behavior. Is she using information I provide when I get my car serviced and making it public? I'll be taking this to the appropriate authorities. First the dual price is NOT told to you when you select the service you want, give them your keys, and go sit in the lobby. It's only told to you when you go to pay after the service is completed. There are signs in the lobby. I didn't notice them until it was too late. I'm sorry but credit card fees are just the price of doing business. I'm paying $100+ for the service. You can eat the $3. Or don't advertise a price on huge banners outside. It's a bait and switch. Outside the service is $99. Inside they charge you $104. Again it's not about the $4. It's about the dishonesty. What else are they being dishonest about? As for my other reviews. I give majority 4-5 star reviews. Just not to those who engage in bad business. I won't be back.

    I bought my RV new here about a year ago and recently brought it in for some warranty work,…read moreincluding an electrical issue with my leveling system, a non-working heat vent, and a window valence repair. My appointment was at 10:30 AM, and while I was there, I also asked about upgrading my existing (fanless) roof vent to one with a fan and rain guard. They had one in stock, so I went ahead with it. The team told me they would handle everything and give me a call when it was ready. By 1:00 PM the same day, I got the call that all the work was done--super fast turnaround. They also sent me a text with photos of the repairs and a video showing the new fan working, which I really appreciated. When I got the RV home and checked everything out, all the work was completed properly and working perfectly. Overall, this was a great experience. Fast, thorough, and excellent communication throughout the process. Big thanks to Zee and his crew for top-notch customer service!
