I came by on a weekday, and it was kinda busy! So plan accordingly. Luckily, it wasn't too bad, and the staff worked pretty fast. For someone who doesn't know about cars, I feel like this is a good place to tell everyone that you should definitely get a 2nd opinion before having anything besides oil done on your car here. I don't know enough to know what my car needs, but I think it's just a safe way to go for these kinds of things. The staff is super helpful, and the service was great! Can't complain there! There's really not much else to say! Easy to get in, easy to get out, and I didn't feel like they were too pushy on trying to upsell me on things. They were just doin' their jobs, so kudos to them. Especially with the groupon, the value proposition is pretty high. I think the only way to do it cheaper is to do it yourself, which I neither have the time nor skills for!

So the last time I was there I left a great review but before I drove off the guy brings me a list of all the things they did and "Replace Windshield Wipers" was the only thing on the list that i know for a fact were not done because everything else on the list were just hoping the guys there were honest. Anyway they guy apologized and replaced they wipers but How do I know everything else was done????? I just left OilStop in Costa Mesa. So far so good. It was a referral and im pleased with the service so far.

    I was referred here by one of my coworkers. This was my first oil change here and they guys are…read moreinformative and they look like they all have fun coming to work and happy employees are important to me. I never know whats true or not. They bring me oil colors so I can see the difference between my dirty colors and the new vibrant colors I should have. So of course I want my car to run great so im saying yes to every new filter and yes to every new fluid but Im not a mechanic so im trusting them like I've trusted my last oil change place. There is a good energy here and I hope they are doing everything they say they are doing because this is my only vehicle and Im a single mom with 2 teenagers. Between the 3 of us we are constantly going to and from everywhere. So far im happy with the service but I still have 3 guys under my hood. The real test will be how well we do until our next inspection. Based off my experience so far I will be back =). FYI: I was a committed customer to Valvoline Express off of Dyer and Main in Santa Ana but they did something I didnt like during my last oil change. So the last time I was there left a great review but before I drove off the guy brings me a list of all the things they did to my car and the only thing I recognized was Replaced windshield wiper. I knew for a fact they replaced them. They guy apologized and replaced them but now how do I know what else "they forgot" to do?

    Update: Feb 17, 2026 - We realized today they also failed to fill the windshield wiper fluid. SMH…read more --- Been meaning to write this review for weeks, but the final straw came today when I found out yet again that the clowns working at this Oil Stop are either a.) incompetent or b.) did the equivalent of spitting in my food for an oil change establishment. 1. I sat through this oil change asking only for 1 thing upon pulling in- please check/fill the air in the tires because I have an alert on the dash that they're low. Literally was told I was all set and go to drive away, only to find the tires were still low and hadn't been touched. 2. The day after my oil change, I hear a grinding of sorts. Upon investigation, find that the plastic piece of the undercarriage was hanging down, not secured in place, and now torn up from the pavement from driving on it. (Mind you, they needed to remove this piece to change the oil.) My boyfriend takes it back, to be told it was "already like that" and when bf asks why they didn't mention it to me if it was already damaged, their response was "well, she's a woman". Unbelievable because shouldn't I be warned of a potential danger? 3. After they secured the damaged piece back, I am now getting an error on dash stating the front camera is blocked. Upon investigation, there is a clear finger print of OIL smeared over said camera. 4. I take the car for a minor repair to my normal place and they inform me the oil dipstick is BROKEN. Now, either these guys did this when they changed the oil, or again failed to tell me it was broken...in either case, they are trash. The funny thing is that the only thing they did to try and rectify anything was to give a 10% discount on my next oil change smh. DON'T TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. THEY'LL COST YOU MONEY AND ADD A HEADACHE ON TOP OF IT.

    Hello everybody. This is a PSA to anyone thinking about coming here…read more This guy has an absolute lack of honesty and carelessness attitude towards his work. I had taken in my 2014 Lexus ES350 for a simple drain and fill. For context the vehicle has 130k miles and has had this service done 2 times and this was third. Vehicle has been maintained very well right. I had noticed the process was absurdly fast. I asked if he did all leveling procedures and ensure it was done the proper way. He assured me he tried and he's done this before by skipping these steps and it would make no difference. Keep in mind ive done this 2 other times and it can only be considered done with proper leveling. Anyways, I immediately notice super harsh shifting, erratic gear selecting, and a terrible jerk in the transmission. I had again called him and asked if he did the leveling procedure and if it was done correctly his response disregarded the need for a proper level because "this was his way of doing it". So I brought it to him to drive the vehicle, he had stated in verbatim "man these cars are terrible " "the transmission are known to go out by 60k & 80k miles" "yours is most likely on its way out". "It's the clutches not the fluid" "I am fairly experienced with this car and the and U660E. What he stated was absurd but there is always a possibility. So I took the car to the dealer for a mature vehicle inspection FROM LEXUS. my report had said the transmission was overfilled and would be 390$ to completely redo the service. I finally took action and had called to drain the excess fluid with a diagnostic tool and proper leveling procedure BUT BEFORE I NEEDED TO CONFIRM. I called the guy and asked if the leveling procedure was done and he said yes but it's not necessary. I finally got over the lying and mentioned I'd taken it to the dealer and they had mentioned it being overfilled and I said I don't want a fight I just need to know my next steps on how to solve this issue and I need honesty to correct whatever had been done. He finally admitted to having skipped the leveling procedure. Here is a picture of the amount of excess fluid. Absolutely terrible lack of honesty and complete carelessness in his service as a simple but tedious step which could have been avoided caused me to waste time and have to replace the fluid.
