Last Friday I took my 2007 suburban to Genie for a brake job. I knew both front and back needed service and was pleased the people there took the time to double check before I left. I asked about a few other things that needed attention and they said they could take care of those as well. They quoted me a price and said they'd text me when the work was complete. When I arrived to pick up my car, everything was done and it drives like a new car and I really appreciate the service. Everyone there wanted to make sure that they had done a good job and they were so conscientious. read more

Genie Auto Center offers great auto service. I stopped in for a quick oil change. They definitely did not tarry. After a quick assessment of the type of oil and filter I needed, they go started on the work. The service went without a hitch, and they also took the time to clean the engine a bit, in addition to resetting the digital oil life gauge. We also spoke tires, and they gave me good advice on when and why to replace them, given my vehicle is all wheel drive. Yes, they also offer full tire care in addition to their auto repair service. They offer a small waiting area outside. If you are in a hurry and need a quick quality oil change, check out Genie Auto Centers. read more

I purchased a two for one oil change through Groupon. They had no wait on a Tuesday morning which was great because I needed to be at work right after. The technician, Melad, was quick and thorough while completing all the checks on my Sequoia. I felt cared for and appreciated! Will return read more

Went to Genie Auto Center because I had a Groupon for an Oil Change, was impressed with the professionalism of the owner and the mechanics but also they honored the Groupon and did not try to upcharge me for extra parts or labor. They checked my fluids and recommended services that the dealership missed. Highly recommend this shop. Great job read more

Just used this place again and changed to Synthetic Oil change which is under $60 nearly everywhere and the guy hosed me charging $98 for the same everyone else charge maybe $60. The business is very very slow with the car wash next door but you dont rip senior citizens off playing them for fools. Leaving town unplanned that day so waiting wasnt an option. The workers are very nice but when there taking you to the cleaners I guess they should be. Shop around for a fair priced place in this economy. Shocked at how they play old people for fools. read more

I've been coming here for the past two years getting oil changes on my wife's car and my truck. the last oil change on my wife's car I was told the rear brakes needed to be changed soon. So yesterday I arrived at 8:00 AM to get the brakes done. I was told previously I didn't need to make an appointment. When I approached the employee why I was there he immediately got an attitude with me and said I needed an appointment. I explained to him that the gentleman I usually deal with told me I didn't need to make an appointment. He got more agitated and said it was Veterans Day and he couldn't get any parts. I reminded him that Veteran's Day was the following day not today. Then he told me he couldn't get the parts until 4:00 pm and to bring the car in tomorrow. I told him that won't work for me and he said to go somewhere else because he had a lot of appointments today. His attitude lost him a customer and after I told my son about my experience he to will find another place to get his oil changed on his two trucks. The way I was treated was unacceptable and disrespectful. I wish the other gentleman I usually dealt with was there because he would have handled this situation differently. I did find another shop to help me. read more

I come a good distance to use this particular oil change center. Reliable and pleasant service for many years. I think same management.

Needed an oil change on my jeep . They were very attentive , service was fast and great .

Amazing service and very knowledgeable. They do tires now which surprised me. One stop shop to do it all, even the cleanliness was great. Guys had me in and out in 10 mins for an oil change. read more

The guys here were great. One sales rep called ZS was super professional. He smites that I'd get in and out but I wasn't in a rush anyways. But he also pointed out something under my vehicle that I'd never notice and I was impressed because they were so quick with my oil change that I thought they didn't even do it lol. Now I had low oil, I know, I need to get better at that but my vehicle is almost 18!years old and hard to let go and my memory now is fading after all this time but I'm coming back to these guys for sure. And... I got a free Carwash for the one right next door that I could use anytime!!!! That's awesome!!! I yelped oil change and smog in my work area and this one had great reviews!!!!! So glad I stop by and will be back!!! Thanks guys for all your help, recommendations and just overall friendliness! Much appreciated!!!! read more

A week ago, I made an appointment for an oil change at an auto center claiming to be full service. I arrived 15 minutes early, stood in line for 15 minutes to get checked-in, and waited nearly three hours for this simple service. My wife's car needed an oil change as well. Today, I took it to Genie Auto Center. As I arrived, they did not want me to park the car - just drive straight into the garage. They did not "claim" they could do the oil change in 10 minutes...they ACTUALLY did it in 10 minutes. They also checked my tires, other fluids, wipers and air filters. I did not even have to get out of the car, except I was tired of sitting. This was not a simple oil change, it was a pit stop. Oh, the price was less than the "full service" center. All the employees were very friendly and eager to get me on my way. I will not be going anywhere else for a simple oil change. read more

Very quick and pleasant experience. They took care of the oil change and got me back on the road nice and easy.

I cannot rave about this place any more than I do to my friends and family. I was having a very crappy day. I had lost my phone and my car broke down on the way to retrieve it. I went to these guys after finding them just a mile away. On the way to get my phone, my car started making really loud noises as I would hit the gas. I went carefully to their shop and received nothing but compassion and helpfulness. They immediately took my car in and showed me the problem. He showed me that the muffler broke and that's what was making all the noise. He gave me a very fair price which I as actually shocked by. They made my crappy day so much better. As I was waiting, they talked to me and even taught me a little Arabic. They made me feel at home. When I came back to pick it up, they immediately recognized me and greated me with smiles. They took my car for a car wash and vacuumed the inside. They even put little car fresheners in there! I am 100% coming back for any future problem that I have with my car, even though they are a little far from me in mission Valley. Absolutely would recommend. read more

If you want a five star service ....come here they don't just do oil changes they do auto repair as well love these guys

When you pull up into the area where they vacuum your car they ask what do you want, scribble something on a paper and walk away without any further instructions. For a regular that seems great but not for a first time customer. It would be a bit nicer if they were friendlier,overall the car was clean. read more

I happened to be the first one there. I was a little after 2pm. Greeted immediately. I must have been in there from start to finish 20 minutes maximum. It is true they are not pushy with getting you to pay for other services. He must have noticed my car was filthy because he gave me a coupon for a free car wash next door read more

I've been going to Genie for a while now....I can honestly say that I have never had anything less than stellar service here!! The mechanics are top notch, and know their stuff! The price is right, and they don't go overboard with upselling!! If your looking for a great place to have your car worked on look no further! You won't be disappointed! read more

Called in for a specific quote. They told me it was going to be $79. I told them it year, make, model, and type of oil. I came in 2 hours later and they told me it was going to be $108. The good ole bait n switch. If you get a quote from these guys make sure to get the persons name so you can hold hem accountable. read more
