    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

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 :)

Every shop we contacted told us they couldn't fix it and that I'd need a whole new wheel hub assembly... except Clement at SGV Bimmer! Within FIVE minutes, he fixed what no other shop would even touch, topped off my fluids, and then told us, "No charge." We were honestly bewildered. It was our first time there! If that doesn't win our business, I don't know what would. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and they clearly know what they're doing. It's so refreshing to find a shop that's both knowledgeable and genuinely kind. We will absolutely be back for all of my Bimmy's future needs.

To top it off the mirror caps wasn't installed correctly and I had another mechanic fix it. Anyways I found another mechanic that has been working on my car and wife's car that I fully trust. Not a rip off like this place. I didn't want to write this review but it's been nagging the hell out of me for how much I was charged for. He also suggested I should change my oil filter housing at 48k miles with no signs of coolant/oil leakages. Yes these are known to fail but no issues yet and I'm at 60k miles now. He said $1600 for OFH. My current mechanic can do for $1100 OE parts. My current mechanics has 8 lifts and are always busy, so no not some run of the mill shop that is low quality. Hope this helps someone out there. Edit: The owner sent me a fake invoice saying the job was $200. It was not $200. I was charged $500. I paid cash. Very petty man, now I'm super glad I posted this review.

I arrived around 9 AM, waited about 10-15 minutes, and the synthetic oil change for my 2012 Honda Accord took another 20-30 minutes. It cost $50, and they also did a basic brake check during the service. The staff mainly speaks Cantonese with some broken English, but communication is enough for routine services. I also asked for a tire rotation, but they said they didn't have time that day. The shop is a no-frills neighborhood mechanic, nothing fancy, but efficient if your car is already in good shape and you need a quick oil change or basic maintenance. They're open on Saturdays, which makes it convenient when I can't come during the week. If you're looking for a fast, budget-friendly oil change, I'd recommend this place. For more thorough maintenance, diagnostics, or larger repairs, I'd probably choose a different mechanic.

Then I found this transmission shop called Hi-Tech Transmission and decided to get one more opinion. Ever, the Technician; was very kind and took the time to explain things clearly. Instead of jumping straight into a major repair, he suggested that the issue might be caused by old, dirty transmission fluid, so We decided to try a fluid drain and replacement. After about 5 hours, he called me and said the issue was gone. I've been driving my car since then, and everything is working perfectly. No transmission problems at all. The total cost was only $400. What impressed me the most was his honesty. He could have easily charged me thousands like the others, but he didn't. That kind of integrity is rare. If you want someone who truly cares about helping you and not just making money, this is the place to go. Thank you so much Ever!! I will really appreciate your help.
