He actually talked me out of doing a couple things that I was asking about because everything looked good, which I appreciated a lot. Sometimes I feel like people are trying to constantly upsell me in these businesses, and that definitely wasn't the case here. He did identify a service I hadn't been thinking about, and my car has been running noticeably better since. Highly recommend this place.

I live in San Diego because I prefer to walk more than I drive. But one of the reasons I hate…read moredriving beyond environmental impact is the predatory energy around car maintenance. Especially as a woman I just know they're more likely to take advantage. I got my last oil change here six months ago. I set a challenge for myself to try to only use one tank of gas in six months. So obviously, I have not driven very often. But Google, ChatGPT, and the few men in my life told me that I needed to go get an oil change since it had been 6 months. So I went back to oil changers. To my absolute delight they showed me oil that looked freshly changed. No need to change what's already good. They gave me all the tips I need to know for when I need to actually come back and what I can be doing to maintain my car in the meantime. It would have been so easy for them to just take my money and lie to me. It would have been just a normal errand I'd forget about in a few days. But now I will refer everybody to this location because I am so thrilled with that experience on top of already having a positive experience when I DID need an oil change last time. You don't really expect too much from these limited service shops. But the energy here is good. The people here seem to work well together and after today I will continue to come here as long as I live in San Diego.

Now that I'm back, I came in to get everything taken care of. The service here is amazing, the staff is super kind, and they do a great job explaining what they're working on as they go. Simi was absolutely awesome very respectful and patient while walking me through the process. Kylee was energetic and friendly, and since she also owns a 4Runner, we ended up talking about our vehicles, which made the time fly by! Marco was great as well he clearly explained each service and why it mattered, all while helping out the rest of the team. Well done to the folks beneath the car working, as they did their part too!

I decided to put off the expense at the time. Last night, my battery went kaput. A jump got me going, but I knew i couldn't count on it. A quick trip back to Valvoline, we discovered they no longer had the battery in stock, but they checked out their surrounding locations and sent someone out to pick it up. Within the hour; I had a healthy battery. Moral of story, when you're told that your battery is near the end of its life, don't wait. Thank you for your great service!

The staff was friendlier than a San Diego afternoon, explained everything with the confidence of a man holding a leather-bound book, and had me back on the road faster than you can say "Stay classy." No upselling nonsense. No shady business. Just honest work, smooth service, and an engine that now purrs like a jazz flute solo. My car feels younger. I feel wiser. Society feels slightly more hopeful. Five stars. I would trust these people with my oil, my vehicle, and possibly the evening news. Stay classy, oil change legends.

After leaving me stranded, Meineke found out it was just a broken transmission cable and repair was ~$600. Not accusing my old mechanic for the broken cable, the Jeep is from 2007 after all, but he told me it wasn't worth fixing and offered me $2K for it. Thank goodness my boss, a VP, recommended I towed it to Meineke in PB! Not only they did the repair but took the time to ask me what my goal was for the Jeep, keep or sell, and gave me confidence keeping it. It has a few leaks but it's in good shape for my commute and some camping trips out in Anza. Although they were closing on a Friday, they even took the time to teach me, LIKE A FAMILY MEMBER, how to keep an eye on the coolant and oil to make notes on the leaks to go over on our next oil change. Thank you Meineke Team!

Higher viscosity leads to higher pressures which lead to seals leaking and failing. I'm really surprised you haven't researched this. How about the leaking oil filter a day after install? Seems like a sure way to get more money outta a customer once their engine gets starved of oil. How about the sloppy work with oil left all over my car? Lack of care and integrity. How about the scratches from resting my tires on the paint of my car? Lazy and inconsiderate. Pulled from the article that copied and pasted "Engine Design Changes: Newer Toyota engines are designed with tighter tolerances and specific lubrication needs that necessitate these thinner oils, such as OW-16 or OW-8." Exactly my 2019 Lexus ux250 is a newer Toyota engine if you weren't aware , so why are changing it?
