    Sparkys Shop!

    I was recommended to Sparkys by my friend. Had my Camaro diagnosed and repaired and I can say it was an amazing experience. Not many honest mechanics in the field but Im glad I found this place. If you need any work on your car hit them up. Thnx Serg!

    Second time I have came to this shop. And will come back if I have any car issues. They are very honest and hardworking mechanics who didn't give up on my car and went above and beyond to repair my car and take care of me as a customer! They gave me the best price in the area. Great value!

    "Great 1st time experience. Had an appointment and was in and out in a timely fashion. Plan on going back as service is needed. Forget going around my town searching for a knowledgeable, experienced, reliable, trustworthy and professional mechanic. Sparkys is near USC area and it's totally worth the drive! Finding a decent, honest mechanic can be very stressful. As a woman, I have had horror stories about visiting the wrong shop and got scammed cold! Fortunately, yelp helped me create a project, requesting a service and an estimate for what my vehicle needed! They made it easier to find car mechanics who do their job well and charge fair prices. Took my car for free evaluation to 3 different mechs, 2 of them quoted me ridiculous prices and they were not honest. Sparkys was by far straight to the point and the owner was really down to earth! Very welcoming and friendly. I felt like I was conversing with an old friend and I really liked how much he cares about giving you VIP service!! Conversely, you can get the word out about a really amazing mechanic like mine. 5 stars A+A+++ thank you Sergio, we were able to drive San Diego comfortably and worry free thanks to Sparkys... people, got to try this guy out... he's really awesome!

I told him I had already bought my own oil and filter, and he said it would be around $85, which made no sense, so I said I would just return my oil them. When I dropped off the car, I did not confirm the price again, which was apparently my mistake. But I clearly told the guy at the desk, "I I have already spoke on the phone, there is oil and a filter on the passenger seat. Just ignore it. I am going to return it." When I came back to pick up the car, nobody told me the price. They just said, "Tap here." I asked, "How much?" and was told it would be about $151 (or something close to that number). I asked why the price was different from what I had been told on the phone. The guy at the desk could not explain it and went to talk to the "manager." I could clearly hear them talking about me. When Fernando came over, he still did not explain why the price had changed. He just kept saying, "We are only going to charge you $69 for labor." I told him they could charge me the $89 he originally quoted, but I was ignored. He just kept repeating the same thing. My issue was not paying for the work. My issue was being told one price on the phone and then being charged something different without explanation. After I left, I noticed they had taken my old oil, my oil filter, and my receipt from the car... They also drove my car around the block for some kind of diagnostic, and I know that because I have GPS installed, but they never asked for my consent. Is that even normal?

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience here. I brought my car in on October 6th 2025 for a…read morediagnostic knowing I needed an oil change and possibly had an oil leak. I paid $130 for what was supposed to be a full diagnostic.. a thorough report of issues found after inspection. Instead, I got a single vague paragraph on paper (quote 1) summarizing $2,000+ in repairs with no itemized breakdown. I asked for photos, and they showed me pictures of my engine filters (note you have to get pass air ducts for this). Later that day I requested an itemized quote and suddenly the total dropped by nearly $1,000. Some of the issues just disappeared from the quote. That was my first red flag. How does a "diagnosis" of the same car change that drastically within hours? What did I pay $130 for if not an accurate inspection and record of the car's condition? I decided to check things myself. I ordered my own cabin, engine, and oil filters online for around $35 total (they quoted $180). I replaced the cabin filter in five minutes. Then I went to replace the engine air filter and immediately saw two large tears in both air intake ducts ... the hoses that deliver air into the engine (pre-filter at least). But both were completely ripped. This was never mentioned in either diagnostic, quote 1 or 2 despite being obvious... I paid $130 for them to "inspect" my car, and they missed something anyone could see under the hood? That's not just sloppy... it's negligent. And since accessing the engine filter requires moving those ducts, they had to have seen it. So, recap: I paid $130 for a diagnostic that missed two gaping holes in the air intake ducts something front and center. If I hadn't checked, I'd still be driving with this glaring issue. It's hard not to wonder if I was brushed off because I'm a woman. Im not the type to take someone's word without checking. This felt either lazy or deliberately dishonest. Fast forward to October 11, I came back for what I assumed would be a simple oil change. I'd already paid $130 for the lacking diagnostic, I believe I was informed with my initial quote that would go towards other services. Nope. They charged another $160. But I didn't have the energy to argue and I was planning to bring up the ducts. No one mentioned them... not even when I asked if there were any other issues. So I walked outside opened the hood pointed at the ripped hose and asked "What's this, and why wasn't it in my diagnostic?" The man looks me dead in the eye and says, "Oh, that's not really a big deal... most people don't fix that." Excuse me? I paid for a diagnosis and someone decided this shouldn't be included. Make it make sense. After pressing, he admits it should be replaced... something I already knew since I'd ordered both ducts for $30 online. Then he gives me a verbal quote of $55. I ask him to print it (because I'm not doing he said she said). He writes it up adding "no labor charge" like he's doing me a favor. I already had both parts sitting in my car. When I got home, I realized the quote was for one side the one I'd pointed at. Both were torn. At this point, I've lost all trust in this location. They're not transparent, not thorough, and the way they handled my situation was insulting. I hoped I could trust them with my car, but instead I learned a hard lesson. I'll now personally verify every service I pay for. If you rely on shops for maintenance.. open your hood. Watch a few videos. Understand what's being done before paying the "convenience" premium. Many of these fixes are simple and inexpensive. TL;DR: - Paid $130 for a "diagnostic" that missed two huge air duct tears. - Received inconsistent quotes -- price dropped $1,000 after asking for details. - No transparency or accountability. - Dismissive attitude when confronted. - Trust broken. Would not return.

I highly recommend bringing any and everything to him and I'll be sending everyone. I know his way!

His price for the tire sensors was the same cost as the Costco Tire Center, which unfortunately didn't carry tire sensors for a Malibu, & originally recommended 20 new lug nuts. Greg had his mechanic install the new lug nuts that I already had, at no additional cost. The facility has limited areas to wait, but there is a nearby coffee shop within a short walking distance. Greg was personable, smart, a great listener, efficient, professional, & made recommendations to save me money on future car repairs. Greg has earned my trust. West Coast Tires does all types of car work (example: oil changes, etc.), except for body work. I am grateful for Greg's honesty, & will return.
