Under new ownership as of Oct 2024…read more I would like to preface this by saying, this is not a complaint about services performed, but rather a complaint of unnecessary white lies told & scheduling BS that is insulting to anyone's intelligence. Utter indifference to customer relations & disrespect to a potential customer's schedule. I called in to Grease Monkey & asked for John (owner, with whom I was familiar) & was told John had to take time off for personal health reasons. Fine ? I told the man (Abe) that I needed an oxygen sensor assessed/replaced &/or anything else that I needed for a smog. I asked him to please check my brakes & give a general once over to appraise me of any issues or problems that could come up in the future. I made an appointment for the next morning. I called on the opening bell because I was running late & I wanted to be mindful that they only had one open bay, & it was raining which meant pretty sucky conditions if a man had to work in the open, & so told them that they could go ahead with another client if they needed to. Abe said "No - get here whenever - 2 cars are leaving & there is no back up of cars needing work." Fine. Arrived 9:15 - plugged in computer to assess oxygen sensor - was told part was in stock & it should take 45 minutes to arrive at shop, maybe 2 hours for all work done. Fine - I left, occupied myself for 2 hours & checked in via text around 11:15 Abe said they were still waiting on the part & that their mechanic had to go to the hospital but that they could wrap it up by 1pm. I decided to walk back to the Anacapa shop & physically check in. My car wasn't there. Abe said it had to be taken to another shop. I had to ask 3 different times where the other shop was, & decided to go over & check out what was going on. I asked a neighboring business (same industry) what was going on at Grease Monkey & they said new owners - so why did Abe say that John (old owner) was away on personal health issues..? Odd & unnecessary. Upon arrival at shop #2 Coast Tire (noon?) my car was sitting outside, so I asked the mechanics when my car was going to up on the lift & I was told they were (still!) waiting on the part & that the car would be ready by the end of the day - I was promised my car would be ready by 11am I called Abe & he said the part was on it's way - I had offered at the outset of this pathetic adventure to go fetch the part myself in the interest of getting things rolling so I could get my car back sooner, and to, you know, HELP OUT and Be Kind...? I left & returned to Coast Tire an hour later = my car nowhere close to being put in a work bay. When I asked where the part was, the mechanic said "At the other shop". Mechanic proceeds to scramble around saying, "I'm going to put it on a lift to check your brakes right now", to which I replied "Not happening" & I got in my car & went (back) to the Anacapa shop. Recap: almost five hours in, 5 total shop visits, 2 different locations, 2 different stories & no work done on my car. Abe pointed at some surly dude behind a desk & said "Here's my boss" and I asked, "What do I need him for? You're the one who knows the story & who I've been dealing with." I asked if I could just buy the part, to which boss man informs me that the part was "at the other shop!" & that he is "Not in the parts business!" Apparently Grease Monkey & Coast Tire are not in the reputable auto service business, either. ************* F I N ************* PS - received an apologetic phone call from Abe which was nice, but I'm not comfortable dealing with/soliciting people to repair my car who skirt the truth & do so poorly. No soup for you!!!!

He is a real pro, and got right to the heart of the problem and fixed it within just a few days. A big plus for us, is that this is right near where we live and we are certainly planning to go to the shop for more work that we will need in the future If you have an issue, definitely give these guys a call, they are pros!

Bob took it in right away and replaced the starter same day. But when I came to collect it the engine started perfectly but then shut itself down. Very worrying as there could have been any number of causes, but Bob worked on it through the weekend and called me first thing Monday. We couldn't have been more relieved to hear he had fixed the problem by replacing an old corroded part. So happy to drive home after a bit of a scare. Bob is not only an expert but thoroughly honourable. Although he had to put in a lot more hours to get to the bottom of things he charged me exactly the same as he first quoted. And whenever I called up, Bob and his wife couldn't have been nicer on the phone: patient and accommodating, so different from calling almost any other business. Great to discover someone so reliable in the neighbourhood.
