    WHY I WENT HERE: - car in need of an oil change - received a coupon in the mail for a discount on the oil change (less than $70 vs. original price of $90-$100+) - open Saturdays (I work/travel M-F so this worked great for me); able to make an appointment online first thing Saturday morning THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located on Northgate Blvd (south of the Valero gas station); closest main cross street is San Juan Rd - street sign with company logo viewed from Northgate - decent sized private parking lot THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - the lobby/waiting area is very spacious; some living room style/placed furniture in the center and other chairs on the outer perimeter for customers to wait in but still maintain privacy/space from one another - drink fridge, water/coffee station on the north wall of the waiting area - restroom off the northwest wall of the waiting area (just past the check-in/check-out computer station) CUSTOMER SERVICE: - I appreciate that this place has a website that allows for online appointments; inputting your information and having a set time to come in (with no miscommunication on who you are or your contact information) is great - I received a confirmation email and text about my appointment (I opted to stay at the shop with my vehicle since it was initially for an oil change) - when I arrived, check-in was a breeze; I was greeted warmly and provided the coupon; I was provided a quote of my service with the coupon applied - I prepared to sit comfortably in the lobby catching up on my shows - when I was informed that it would take longer, I appreciated that the other recommended services came along with pictures of the issues as well as quotes for each additional service; I did not feel rushed with the explanation of what else was found wrong with my vehicle and I appreciated the various opt-in/opt-out sections that I needed to check off for confirmation or decline prior to signing off - I live close enough that once I signed off on my additional services to be completed, I called my fiance to pick me up; the guy at the front desk had inquired if I needed a ride so I'm not sure if they set you up with a rideshare or taxi service - the estimated time of the completion of my additional services was accurate and I felt the overall total was comparable to what I would have received at other shops - even when I arrived back at the shop to pay for the services and pick up my car, I was greeted warmly

    My second time here getting an oil change and I have to say I am impressed! Very kind, helpful, and down to earth staff. The waiting room is clean with plenty of refreshments available. The service was fast and their prices are reasonable. Overall I highly recommend this place!

    Give them a call for great customer service at an affordable price.

    Great customer service. With no appointment Craig got my smog done in less than 30 minutes. Highly recommended and will be a repeat customer

    This is the first total of charges they sent me.

    See all

    My car was towed there on a Saturday at 2:30pm. They all went above and beyond to get me back on the road to get home by 5:00pm.

    I found Roland to be friendly, courteous, highly knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I hired him to…read morereplace the battery on my 2010 Honda Civic and inspect several parts that a dealer had claimed were leaking and needed to be replaced. He inspected them and showed me how each one was clean, dry, and completely fine. He then inspected the rest of the engine compartment and the undercarriage and showed me that it was all in great shape. Finally, he noticed that a previous mechanic had removed the plastic shroud for my front wheel wells and failed to install new clips to secure the shroud afterward. I had wondered about the gap he noticed for years, but I didn't realize it was anything other than wear and tear. He replaced the clips for no extra charge. I know it seems like a small thing, but to me, it speaks clearly to Roland's character: I believe he genuinely cares about doing right by his customers and taking good care of their cars. When I asked him about some issues with electronic parts on my car (e.g. a digital dashboard display), he let me know that his area of focus was mechanical service and advised me to take my car to an electrical auto shop. I was grateful that he knew the limits of his expertise, communicated them clearly, and stuck to them. I felt his quoted price was quite reasonable, and even after he performed more work than requested (still within about a 1-hour time slot), he stuck to his original price quote. I am very happy with the service he provided and the price I paid! I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

    Rolland came to my house and went straight to working on the fuse box without having made sure the…read morehigh voltage system of my Prius C was disconnected. Major red flag #1. He spent 40 minutes prying at different parts and trying to forcefully remove my fuse box to get to the 100A fusible link that I had to tell him was located beneath and the assembly had to be unbolted to get to it from underneath. After 40 minutes of painfully watching him attempt to force things open. I politely asked him to stop as it was obvious he didn't know what he was doing and broke a few components off my housing. I tried calling him to let him know of the damages. He denied responsibility and said he was only at my house for 5 minutes. He told me to never contact him again and failed to respond to the before and after photos I sent. Do not trust this shady business. What went from a lb easy replacement of a 100A that I could have done myself but did not have the time to do so, resulted in several hundred dollars of parts in addition to more for labor due to gross incompetence. DO NOT TRUST HIM!
