    --I never accused them of tampering--I only said something happened because the high beams stopped working both times after their service.
    randall m.

    DO NOT COME HERE!---UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL SPEEDEE OIL CHANGE IN MILLBRAE ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGING YOUR VEHICLE! Case in point, the moment I signed the work order, I absolved them from any damages because the small print says so. (It's a long story but bear with me.) A few months ago, I brought my vehicle in for a simple oil change. The high beams worked perfectly before the service. After the service, I noticed the high beams would not stay on--a clear issue that wasn't there when I dropped it off. When I pointed this out to the staff, they referred me to the work order, claiming it stated the vehicle was returned in perfect condition and that my signature agreed to this. The next day, I called to follow up, but the person on the phone was dismissive, refusing to address the issue or offer any solution. I had to pay to fix the high beams myself, but I decided to give them another chance. Today, April 28, 2025, I returned for another oil change. Before signing the work order, I specifically asked them to note the condition of my high beams and three other things I wanted checked. I went over three of the four issues but forgot to mention the main problem from before--the high beams not staying on. They completed the oil change, and I went to pay. The same receptionist from my last visit was there, but this time her boss was present. I brought up the entire issue from the previous visit, explaining that the high beams worked when I arrived last time but didn't when I left. The boss denied it happened, saying there was no proof, but offered a $60 discount on today's oil change "to make up for last time." I asked him why I would make up such a story--my high beams worked when I arrived, and they didn't when I left. Despite his denial, I appreciated the discount and hoped for a better experience. Before leaving, we checked the vehicle, and three of the four things I asked them to look at were fine. I left feeling okay, but on the road, I turned on the high beams, and once again, they didn't stay on. I immediately went back and told the receptionist that while we checked most things, we didn't verify if the high beams stayed on, and that's exactly what wasn't working. She insisted everything was fine because I had said so before leaving, but I pointed out that we never specifically checked this issue. I even said, "Come on, you can admit we didn't check if the high beams stayed on." At that point, the manager--the boss--stepped in and said, "WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO? WE'LL GIVE YOU A REFUND AND DON'T COME BACK." They refunded the oil change, which was originally $125 but reduced to $65 with the discount, and told me never to return. Their work order comments show how they shift blame: "Customer states at last oil change, vehicle lights were tampered with during service. Customer was made aware that this is not something SpeeDee would do. Customer states issue with addressed with dealership stating it was an electrical fault. As part of satisfaction even though SpeeDee admits to no fault. Customer was given 50% of service this time only." I never accused them of tampering--I only said something happened because the high beams stopped working both times after their service. Instead of investigating, they blamed an "electrical fault" I'd have to take up with a dealership, offered a partial discount, and when the issue happened again, they refunded me and banned me from returning. This business consistently avoids accountability. Twice, my high beams stopped working after their service, and twice, they refused to take responsibility, hiding behind fine print and vague claims of "electrical faults." The safety hazard of non-functioning high beams is serious, yet their solution was to refund me and tell me not to come back. There are better auto shops in the area that don't treat customers this way. Avoid SpeeDee at all costs.

    I dig the sign is also in Mandarin.

    The SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service location at Millbrae, California is an independently owned 2 store franchise by Arun Nagpal. He also owns the SpeeDee in Redwood City, California (550 Veterans Blvd). Both locations offer full service & repair facilities with friendly service with a very comfortable lounge which includes a clean bathroom, desk with USB and power outlets as well as a desk. The Wi-Fi is very solid & reliable... great for getting work done while you wait. I first used this SpeeDee for an oil change on September 25, 2023 which qualified my for the following checks / top offs for **FREE** when I came in due to my yellow service light turning on for my Porsche Macan S 2015: washer fluid | coolant | power steering | tire pressure | front & rear windows cleaned. Chanal is the Shop Lead at the Millbrae location (her husband Ash has the same role at the Redwood City location. Her humor can be found on the candy jar sign reading 'No Matter The Question, Candy Is The Answer.' This location had a different previous owner about 6 years ago, so you can ignore any bad previous reviews. This is legit 100% the place I'll be servicing my vehicle for oil changes & uber inspections and it's close to the SFO airport & Quick Quack car wash!!! Please shop local and support a minority owned small business. Mindy Kaling: A sitcom about Chanal and this location is waiting for you!!!

    I gave the business a call about the issue and they were extremely helpful. So I went back in to get my oil changed and not only did they tell me how it is highly unlikely them, they SHOWED me the process they used as I watched them. They were very accommodating and explained their whole process. I definitely owe them a huge apology and should have expected that it was most likely my car dealer that stripped the screw. SpeeDee even helped get the stripped drain plug out and put a new one in! Happy to say I will gladly be coming back here.

He has YOU buy the parts, so money saved not being upcharged by the dealer/shops.

    This is a more accurate account of what happened:…read more I came to this shop because my air conditioning on my van stopped working and I wanted to see what the problem was and how much it would be to fix it. This business had great reviews on yelp and google so I wanted to try it out. And I wanted to see if this was a shop I could regularly come to as I recently moved close-by. I walked in and after roaming around to find someone, I started speaking with an employee who said the owner Mike was not in. He said in order to inspect the air conditioning, it would be at least $200 which is also their price for an oil change. So I should just get an oil change and they would do many things including looking into the air conditioning. He didn't say it was a full air conditioning check. Yet he said they could let me know what the problem might be and he would note it. I didn't really need an oil change. I don't think I was even half way there. I decided to try it out and see how this place was. The owner Mike called me back multiple hours later letting me know my car was done. I asked him about the air conditioning and he said he didn't even look into the air conditioning and that I came for an oil change. He said it would be $240 to look into what the problem was with the air conditioning. He said that was just to inspect it though and no guarantee of fixing anything. I was irritated and he then told me I was a cheap person. We were on speaker phone in the car with my girlfriend and her friend who both said they didn't like this guy, were not comfortable with him, that he didn't know how to talk to people, the way he spoke was not professional, and that I shouldn't work with him, because there are other mechanics I could go to that were good. Ultimately I decided to go pick up my car. It was a very awkward conversation with the owner in his little office room. I went to pay and I wasn't very comfortable paying, because this is not what I came there for. I decided to pay uncomfortably and observed the way the owner Mike was and he seemed pretty arrogant and with an attitude after done of 'here are your keys. Go walk over to your car and get it yourself.' I was trying to get input on what he saw in the car on his service as well and he casually mentioned multiple things he saw and didn't seem interested in explaining much at all. Really weird experience here especially contrasting to the other good reviews for this business. I guess he goes above and beyond for other customers. Wasn't the case with me.
