I encourage you to patronize the Beacon West Portal Auto Service. We live nearby (my wife does; I…read morereside on the East Coast -- that is how we are so happily married). I like it for one reason. They offer air. Gas stations are supposed to do so. You are entitled to it, I believe under state law if/when you fill up. Yet not every establishment respects that. Many are begrudging. So you should -- I would argue one is obliged -- to do what is right and purchase something such as fuel. Then you have satisfied the social contract of doing right, and you should check the tire pressure.

The most recent was last month around 5:10p and was charged $45. I had asked why it was so much more and the older Asian gentleman told me because it was after hours. Fair enough, they close at 5p. I'm back again at 4:50 and charged $45 yet again. I asked the same gentleman and he says the price just went up. When I pushed for a reasoning he said it just went up yesterday.

I just got mine done today (Jan 17, 2024) and I think pricing went up a few dollars but not by a lot. Total was $54.95 today. The guys here are usually really quick (no longer than 30 minutes) but I usually come in the mornings so I can't speak for later in the day. Today I actually had 3 other cars in front of me but it still didn't take more than 30 mins. I really appreciate the guy running the smog checks today. He was hustling, running back and fourth when he really don't need to but it's awesome to see him taking his job seriously and wanting to get customers in and out to go about their days. As soon as a customer pulls up, he grabbed a clipboard and ran over to them. When customers were on their phones while sitting in the waiting area, the employee came over to let them know it's ready instead of yelling out their names. Just little things to made it a pleasant experience. Taraval also has a few coffee shops in the area so you could also go hang out somewhere and check back in later!

I didn't see any of his old crew also making the move as I used to be a regular at his old shop. He told me most went to other shops or have retired. It was nice to see Simon at least. It took an hour to do the oil change. He called me mid job that my engine and cabin air filters needed replacing. $90 (2 filters $55 and labor $35.) I said yes as I was too lazy to do it myself. It would have have taken too much effort to buy the filters myself and install it. ($22 for the engine and $10 for the cabin filter Amazon prices.) There was a slight mishap as they charged me for a synthetic oil change whereas I only got a regular oil change. The billing mechanic (not Simon) messed up. I caught it on the receipt and they had to refund me $26. Otherwise good job everyone at Sunset 76 Auto Repair. Be sure to check your receipt.

They kept the full tank I returned, leaving me empty-handed with no working tank and no refund. Telling a customer to make another trip is not a solution, especially when you already have their money and their tank. I paid for a working product, not a runaround. I live in this neighborhood and like supporting local businesses, but this kind of service and business practice does not belong in our neighborhood. Awful customer service, no accountability, and a complete waste of time and money. I will never go back and strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere.
