This is an update from 9 years ago. Louis is the new owner and sent a follow up message requesting an opportunity to address the lack of service from the previous owner. He suggested alternate bbq units which I appreciate. Response time was within hours. I hope to be able to work with this company in the future. read more

Lou was communicative, which was great. Unfortunately, his service was subpar. He said that it would take 2-3 hours to clean our grill, and that it would be $250. It took him just a little longer than an hour, which was surprising. After he left, I lifted up the grates to check underneath & my hands were covered in grease that hadn't been cleaned. Additionally, our light & back burner were not serviced (they're still not working). He said he would let us know if there were any parts that needed to be fixed (probably to be added to our cost, which was fine), but it seems he ignored that part of his job. My husband called Lou to share our concerns & to talk about payment. Since Lou took one-third of the time he said he would take, and since our grill is still dirty, we asked him what he thought would be a fair price. He said $215. So, if you're interested in having your grill wiped down for over $200, he's your guy. If you want a deep clean & want your grill to be serviced, I would look elsewhere. read more

I made an appt with Lou to get our bbq repaired and cleaned. It was beyond repair so he gave us some options. We ended up ordering a new bbq which he installed a few weeks later. It looks fantastic and works great! He recommended a few brushes too. Lou is very knowledgeable, he's professional, and a super nice guy! read more

Checked out Yelp reviews and recommendations and after calling around, we chose Lou at OC BBQ Repairs. Lou came out even though Lynx had not shipped the parts, cleaned the BBQ and recommended a couple of other parts. 3 months after the parts were ordered, they arrived and Lou came out the very next day and put everything back together! Great Customer Service Great Knowledge of my BBQ Fantastic Experience read more

Lou did a great job installing our BBQ and EVO grills into our BBQ island. I recommend him highly for your BBQ grill needs. His prices are reasonable and he knows what he's doing! Thanks Lou - you made our week. We're back to grilling on the BBQ! read more

Lou was responsive and showed up on time. He did a great job restoring my grill that had many years on it. He was efficient and the work area was clean. Highly recommend. read more

OC BBQ Cleaning is the absolute best! I have used Lou for the last couple of years. He cleaned my BBQ today and it looks almost new. Lou has also done repairs and his work is always first class. I wouldn't trust my BBQ with anyone else. read more

Not reliable in my experiences. Made an appointment in advance. When I attempted to verify the day before, "Lou" canceled because he stated he forgot to put it in his calendar. He rescheduled for several weeks later and 20 minutes before the appointment he texted me to cancel. I texted and called to figure something out, but he did not respond. I had taken both appointment times off of work. Not the end of the world, but a little more consideration would have been appreciated. Best of luck. read more

I had Lou come out to clean my Traeger. He came without his solvent to be able to dissolve grease (so already unprepared) and then damaged the lid of my barbecue by scraping. He promised to purchase another one and come back to finish the grill - but never did. He now refuses to answer my voice mails or emails, so he's just avoiding the problem. If he'd just followed up, I wouldn't have been unhappy enough to write a negative review, but I can't stand by while he ignores the problem and hopes for it to go away. read more

Wow! On the prompt service and being on time! Lou is great! He spent lots of time cleaning our family BBQ and it looks brand new! I highly recommend them to come and clean up your backyard BBQ. It's funny.....my husband hired the company and I told Lou what a great way to make a living....Everyone needs their BBQ cleaned when you work a lot and don't have time. The service & quality of work was fantastic! Thanks again Lou! read more

Wouldn't bother. When I first called for appointment, Lou couldn't schedule for two weeks. But due to the reviews, I made a 3 pm appointment. At 3:30 on the day of the appointment, I'm still trying to reach him, since I made a trip home. At 3:45, I reach him and he says he can't make it. But let's schedule for 7:30 the following morning. It's now 8:00 am and again after multiple calls, I'm unable to reach him to see if he's going to show up. This is really a horrible way of doing business. read more

We scheduled an appointment for Lou to come clean our BBQ. He gave us an appointment for his service. I called him to ask if he can clean our older BBQ as well. He said no he would have to re schedule. Gave us a date and time to be home for his service. On the day one hour before he was suppose to show he text's me and give some lame excuse about his truck and we will have to re schedule. My wife had to take time out of her day to be there at a scheduled time. Just not impressed with the way he handles his business. read more

I called to have my 3 burner Weber ignitor repaired on March 2, 2020s. Lou changed the part, he was there about 25 minutes. Charged me $100. Part was $20 and labor $80. Tried it the next day - only 2 burners lit up. I texted him 4 times and called and emailed him. No responses, finally and when I did get response, oh yah, be there on July 10th. Didn't show up, never called NOTHING. I have asked him for a complete refund or I will take it up with him in small claims court and he can pay the expenses. read more

Don't bother. I made an appointment 3 weeks in advance, and Lou confirmed via email. He was a no call/no show.

We just moved into our house, and the built in barbecue was gross. The prior owners told us that they hadn't even used it in the five or six years that they lived here. I was seriously thinking about having it replaced, but as it's a decent brand I figured it was worth looking around for service first, since it could potentially save thousands over a new one. One yelp search later, I contacted Lou at OC Bbq Cleaning & Repair. He was very responsive, on time, and pleasant. He came out that morning to look at the barbecue first, and determined that the patient could in fact be resuscitated, then came back the next day to do the heavy duty cleaning. Lou did a great job cleaning it out, fixed the non-working ignitor, and even cheerfully disposed of the dead rat that he found in the barbecue. (Lovely.) So, yeah. The fact that he also gave this thing a hardcore steam cleaning is now an even bigger win. The barbecue looks like new, and will certainly last us for a while. Highly recommend Lou and company, will definitely use again in the future. read more

I called Lou at OC BBQ after getting the runaround from another bbq cleaning company and am glad I did! His pricing is better than any other company I've been quoted by and his work is superb. He got two of my burners working again (I thought they were broke for good) and got everything looking as close to new as can be expected on an 8 year old grill. Lou also helped me by making some recommendations on replacement parts I can buy myself and save money, which I did! I'm definitely keeping Lou's contact info saved and have already referred him to others I know looking to have their grill cleaned/restored. read more

Amazing Job! Lou was great. I was so bummed because my lights and ignitor hadn't worked for over a year and I couldn't figure out why. Turned out it was just a fuse in the power supply. Ran to Home Depot and bought a fuse while he was cleaning everything and boom now everything works. And the best part was that he only charged me for the cleaning. Very happy with my restored BBQ now. Thanks! read more

Lou was awesome and did a great job. Pricing was extremely reasonable too, which is always a plus. We purchased a new home that came with a beautiful built-in commercial size BBQ that hadn't received some needed love in a number of years. Now that Lou is done with it, it is back to looking excellent. Another great service was after Lou completed the job, he showed me where the BBQ was beginning to wear and gave me a rough estimate on how much longer I can expect to have until certain parts may need to be replaced. All in all it was a fantastic experience and I definitely will be using OC BBQ/Lou's services in the future. read more

I was quoted $150 by Lou to install new BBQ and take away old one. Lou shows up and decides he wants an extra $60 to take away the old BBQ after installing the new one. Not only is this unprofessional, but a complete rip-off. I would not trust anything you are told over the phone! read more

Lou did a great job restoring my 10+ old Lynx and it works and looks better than it has for a long time. I plan to continue using him for future tune-up's and cleaning. Nice and honest! read more

Highly recommend. Lou gives you a very fair cost for the cleaning of your grill. AND he does an excellent job. Our unit looks fantastic. He came out the same day we contacted him. Go with OC BBQ Cleaning and you will not be disappointed! read more

Our two year old BBQ stopped working and it was pretty dirty. My husband wanted to get a new BBQ, but I knew that it was an expensive BBQ with a lifetime warranty. I called OC BBQ Cleaning & Repair. Lou answered my call right away and we made an appointment for him to look at my BBQ. The fix was easy and he did not charge me for it. He also cleaned my BBQ and it looks like it is brand new. I will definitely be calling Lou again next year to clean my BBQ. He is an honest guy and I sincerely appreciate the work that he did on my BBQ. read more

Lou did a great job. He was easy to reach, arrived on time an my BBQ looks great. I will use him again.

Big Lou is awesome!!! My grill was nearly totaled and Lou brought it back to life. He cleaned it so well it looks like a new grill. He was on time, professional, and got the job done in just a few short hours. I would recommend him to anyone that needs their grill overhauled. Thanks to Lou I'm grillin tonight :) read more

Worth the price. Scott came out today and did an amazing job. I was amazed how clean my built in BBQ could get. It was long overdue for a cleaning and it looks close to brand new again. I would highly recommend their service. Thanks. read more

Lou came out and cleaned our grill and did an awesome job. Not only did he work super hard to clean our very dirty grill but I also mentioned to him that our patio heater was not working. He took a look at it and was able to fix it right away. We are having a party this weekend I am excited to entertain in my backyard with our spotless grill. Thanks Lou!!! read more

Lou cleaned our bbq today. He was early and called to let us know he was on the way. He is always smiling and proud of the work that he does. Our bbq looks awesome. Call him...cook better food on a clean bbq. Happy 4th of July. read more

These guys are awesome!!!! Did a great job cleaning and repairing the grill. Would definitely call them again!!!! Thanks so much

I should have called him earlier. I had Lou convert my BBQ from propane to natural gas. I starting looking into converting it myself and even brought some parts. Realizing that I did not have the expertise and I was literally playing with fire so I gave Lou a call. He quoted me a fair price and we schedule him to come out in a couple of days. I have worked with a lot of contractors over the years and they are typically late or have to reschedule all the time. Lou was 5 minutes early for our appointment. He converted my BBQ for a little more than the parts I would have had to buy myself. He had all the parts on his truck. Since I attempted to do it myself I also took the time to clean if myself. What a pain! Spent about twice the time that it would have taken him I will definitely be calling him back for the next cleaning. read more

So pleased with their BBQ cleaning service. Our BBQ was so filthy that the pilot light was no longer working, but our technician spent hours cleaning it and reassembling so it works like now. He even fixed our side burners. I wish I had thought to tip him! read more

Very satisfied with the service. Lou did a great removing years of grease and grime buildup to make our grill look close to new. He was very thorough and took his time. Did not rush through the process. Wish we had called Lou sooner. Money well spent. read more

Just as a follow up this guy has never called or contacted me to tell me why he didn't show or reschedule. A complete jerk?

This service was the very best thing I could've done for my BBQ. My appointment was for the following weekend at 8am and the repair guy, Scott, was there five minutes early. He spent four hours cleaning my BBQ and the burners and now it works like it's brand-new. The price was reasonable and I highly recommend having this done! Thanks, Lou! read more

Lou came out within a couple of days of talking on the phone. He quickly diagnosed the problem, replaced the pressure regulator, cleaned out the orifices, and my bbq, which had been struggling to get to 150 degrees, was at 450 degrees within ten minutes. Took him, at the most, twenty minutes. One service call, one part (had it in his truck), great work and what a pleasant person! Call him; don't even think about replacing your bbq without a house call from Lou first. Well worth the nominal charge. read more

Thanks Lou! I was prepared to invest in a new BBQ but after discussing the cleaning and repair services with Lou, I decided to give him a shot and save the money compared to a new purchase. Turned out to be the absolute right decision. Lou was helpful up front in discussing the options, provided and stuck to what I consider a reasonable price for the work performed, and most importantly, the Q looks new! I will use them again. read more

Lou does great work!! My BBQ looks new again..Lou quoted me a price over the phone when he saw my BBQ he immediately reduced the cost due to the size. How many times do you get a cost reduction. He advised on a couple parts, that don't need replacing every year, but can be cleaned instead. Plus my little dog like him immediately, he is an excellent judge in character!! read more

Lou has serviced our BBQ twice now and always does a professional job at a fair price.

Great company. They did a spectacular job reviving the bbq grill. Give them a try - you won't regret it Reasonable pricing.

I am so glad I went with Lou and OCBBQ Cleaning and Repair. To be honest we had a couple scheduling mishaps in the beginning, however the quality and value of Lou's work was well worth the wait. Lou impressed me with his expertise on Viking BBQ's as our unit needed a total makeover and Lou knew exactly what to do. He kept my costs to a reasonable level and worked very hard to restore our unit to new like condition. Lou was generous with his advice, honest in costing his parts and labor and responsive to all my questions. I would recommend Lou to my friends without hesitation and know my unit is in good hands for future maintenance and repairs. read more

We had 2 previous companies out to service our bbq as well as clean . Long story short, I wish we would have call OC BBQ first. Lou was not only reliable but spent time explaining our repair and issues. He went over and beyond and did not charge for the visit of which offered us valuable information of the issues resulting from the previous 2 companies short fall. He is truly knowledgeable and knows BBQ's. Thank you Lou for your professionalism and patience with our issue. Again, DO not call anyone else . Call Lou FIRST from OC BBQ . IF I only we had known ! read more
