    This place used to be really good. I had two bad Experiences and unfortunately I'm going to have to find somewhere else to have my oil changed. The first experience was about a year ago when I took my wife's Mercedes to have the oil changed and they did not secure the oil fill cap and oil shot out all over the exhaust manifold and freaked my wife out when smoke started coming out from underneath the hood in the middle of rush-hour traffic in the fast lane. I looked under the hood and I found the oil cap was not on right and oil leaking out of it. I returned, and they clean as much of the oil off with rags and brake cleaner. Second experience a few months ago, I took my truck in for an oil change. A few days later I noticed oil drips in my driveway and my truck has never leaked oil before. When I went underneath to investigate, I found that my drain plug was only hand tight and dripping oil. I tried to return to the shop and let them know what had happened and there was only an old guy there, who acted as if he didn't speak English. But I've been coming here for a while and he has spoken to me before he can understand what I was saying and he was able to take my payment but as soon as I had a complaint, he didn't want to deal with me. If you're going to take your car here, they're quality of workmanship has dramatically declined

    Broken clips I had to put these on because it was dragging

    Last time I was here they bent this plate back and broke the plastic snap on clips. I asked Edwin to make sure and put it back on right. He sure. He asked the guy that was under the car if he put them on and i heard him say Yes it's good. I got home and sure enough, it wasn't done.!!) They used to check the tire pressure, clean your windows, They say they put synthetic oil from the pump, but really how can we trust them. I have a big family and this was our go to oil change place. TIME TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER PLACE..

    View from inside the car...these guys are safe, professional and affordable as always.

    So nice, professional and explained each step of the process. oil grade, and exceptions on my vehicle vs. common vehicle services they have. I always have known that my car doesn't take the 19.99 price oil change, but, compared to other places, their prices are still lower. $57.00 and all fluids checked, topped off and filters cleaned. My all time fav place, 2 cars. FYI. prices went up a couple bucks. It's been over 15 years of the same price so no big deal. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES

    This is literally my go to Oil change place for years. This place been here for yearsssss. I take both of my cars here to get an oil change, what's great about this place is that they don't force sales on the customer. They don't tell you that you need to change unnecessary things like other places do, especially when you know that the parts are already been replaced. The workers are very and attentive and so is the owner he's very nice and shows interest in you and your car. They work quickly and gets your car in and out within 20 mins on a weekday, weekend is a bit more challenging because people are usually off so the line can be longer than usual. There's plenty of waiting chairs outside and inside the, is in the same plaza as a laundromat and donut shop in the corner of valley and Baldwin. So while you wait you can get yourself with some donut treats or like me, I go for the ham and cheese croissant!! Hehe next thing you know your car will be done in a timely manner.

    The way they left my oil filter. This place is a RIP off

Even so, the wait wasn't too bad. Once a spot opened up, I was directed forward. The initial service was smooth. One of the male employees asked what service I needed, scanned my vehicle, checked all of the lights, and inspected the air filter. When it was my turn, another male employee checked the tire pressures. During that process, he removed all of my hubcaps. I was a little concerned about whether he would put it back properly, but I assumed everything would be checked before I leave. A female manager came over to review the information on their system, but I didn't notice a final walk-around inspection of my vehicle. Overall service took about 30 minutes. However, when I got home and checked my wheels, I found that the hubcaps had not been reinstalled correctly, just as I had suspected. Overall, the service was efficient, but I wish more attention had been paid to the small details and the final quality check. Those details make a big difference in the overall customer experience.

    Problem while on freeway driving: Acura TL 2006…read more Transmission changed to lower gear suddenly, then back to normal Happened twice Transmission dashboard indicator for 'D" drive light briefly brinkling I was refered by a friend who is a mechanic to this place John the owner is very helpful He used his computer tool to check any error code Then he test drive the car, but could not find any problem I feel bad for him, he spent almost and hour, and I wanted to give a some money for his time He refused, his shop promises free diagostic I asked for his business card and assure him I will bring my car there if I have any transmission problem in the future This change to lower gear problem I have had in the past only when driving steep downhill - from 4th or 5th down 3rd gear, then back to 4th or 5th again I hope this car will last a few more months I strongly recommend you to visit his store if you have a tranny problem

They took a look at my car for free to identify the issue and they detected the leak to be coming from my engine and not my transmission. They showed me exactly what they were seeing, why they thought it was my engine and not my transmission, and offered to put a dye in my transmission fluid to ensure it was my engine and not my transmission. I drove my car for a week and took it back to double check, and sure enough it was my engine! Although they spent time and care on my car, they didn't charge me a single penny, even when I insisted to at least pay for the dye. They were able to refer me another mechanic to fix my engine leak and I was able to get my issue solved that same day. As a woman who is nervous to get work done on my car, I had an excellent time at El Monte Transmission. If you are having transmission troubles, please go to them :)
