    I've gone here for my past three smog checks and Antonio is always the sweetest, most helpful guy. I first came because his Yelp reviews were so good and quickly learned why. Antonio seems like he is always in a good mood. He greets everyone with a smile and never rushes you. This time when I went I saw him point a couple customers to other auto shops because he wasn't able to help them out quickly or because the other place had better prices for the service they were looking for. Antonio is genuine and honest and knows what he is doing. My smog check took about 15 minutes and Antonio chatted with me the whole time. He also gave me some pastries to take home for me and my husband! As long as I'm in San Diego I'll continue coming here for my smog checks.

    Antonio was very helpful over the phone describing what all was included in his used car pre purchase inspection. He is straight forward and to the point, even went as far as to help navigate a used car purchase based off of his inspection. Would not hesitate to come back and frequent Antonio if I lived closer. Do yourself a favor and come by his shop for any auto mechanic needs.

    Trust earned!

    Great service at the Carmel Mountain Valvoline location. I came here because of the reviews, and…read moreI'm glad I did. Chase, the assistant manager, helped me a lot. He was very knowledgeable, professional, humble, kind, and took the time to explain everything step by step. The whole team knew what they were doing, worked cleanly, and stayed well-coordinated throughout the service. They completed everything correctly, topped off the fluids, explained the process clearly, and the price was good. You can also go on the website and get a $15 discount coupon. Overall, I had a great experience and I don't see any issues. I would definitely recommend this location.

    I would avoid and beware. I have now experienced the same issue on two different cars…read more First car: 3 years ago we had Valvoline replace the battery in a car. One year ago we discovered that Valvoline installed a battery that was too small, even though they invoiced me for the larger battery. After a lot of back and forth, they finally agreed to replace. Then, while doing the replacement they broke one of the attachments to the battery. A headache. Second car: Again, Valvoline replaced the battery about two years ago. After taking the car to a reputable mechanic for some issues, we again learned that Valvoline installed a battery that was too small for the car. I did not write a review the first time, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Now I can only conclude that this is their practice.

    - Avoid This Location! Do not trust this location, even if employees claim it is under "new…read moremanagement." I was previously assured that the predatory culture here was fixed, but my recent experience proved that the systemic deceptive practices are still fully active under the current manager, Christian. I came in to have a light inspected and my bottom oil skid plate secured. Instead of doing their jobs, manager Christian and technician Eric completely withheld standard care and acted like my light didn't have an issue until I paid them a cash tip. Only after money changed hands did they suddenly look at my light, but they then attempted to manufacture a completely fake light issue that didn't exist to scam me. When I pointed out the actual, specific light concern, they inspected it and claimed it needed to be fixed. I watched them fix it but still question whether it needed to be fixed. In addition, they engaged in a total bait-and-switch pricing scam. They claimed they would "do me a favor" and apply that 20 dollars toward the light service charge. In reality, they were overcharging me. When I pointed out I knew how much the light cost he made up an excuse for over charging me and corrected the invoice. When I directly confronted them for attempting to take advantage of me, manager Christian and Eric met me with total silence, and rushed me through the rest of the process to push me out the door as fast as possible. In their haste to move me along, they completely failed to provide me with an invoice. This goes way beyond poor customer service--this is intentional consumer fraud, extortionary tipping tactics, and financial manipulation overseen directly by the store manager. I have filed formal complaints with Valvoline Customer Care requesting escalation to Corporate. I am prepared to escalate this matter further if not addressed. Avoid this shop at all costs! Or it will Cost you!

    I don't know how this place can possibly have so many positive reviews because true colors always…read moreshow themselves eventually. Must all be friends and family (I've observed a certain clientele there). I took my vehicle in, against my better judgment, for a simple oil change because the place was convenient and I'd gone there once before without incident. I'm always prepared for shops like this upselling and giving me a laundry list of needed repairs, which I always take with a grain of salt. There was one repair, however, that I knew needed to be done and it was simple enough that I was actually going to take it back to them at a later date because, again, convenience. However, shortly afterwards I had to take my vehicle to my regular mechanic for something else and they did a COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC, which Midas did NOT do, and I learned that a number of the things Midas said needed repair were, in fact, not necessary, and one was major. When I called them to discuss this, the person I spoke with (I never really can understand him) immediately became extremely rude and aggressive and kept insisting I was being "disrespectful" (as he was practically yelling at me) by going to another mechanic and not "trusting his service" and proceeded to quickly hang up. In my 50+ years of dealing with mechanics and businesses of every kind, I have never once experienced anyone so rude and unprofessional. If you are a professional running a business, there is never any excuse for hanging up on a customer. Ever. Apparently he doesn't understand that customers have every right, in this country, to go wherever they want whenever they want, get second opinions and other estimates, and that no one owes them their loyalty, especially if it hasn't been earned. I suspect it all had something to do with a bruised ego and a woman challenging his expertise. I literally was going to give him a chance to do the right thing. After all, I'd had a thorough diagnostic done and they themselves admitted in the beginning that they couldn't really see what the problem was (since they didn't do an actual diagnostic). When it comes to an oil leak, guess work rarely cuts it. Word of mouth really is the best advertising there is and people like this seem to forget that. I will never stop telling people about this shop and if you're someone who reads this review and chooses to use them anyway, consider yourself warned. I shudder to think how much it would have cost me (1k min.) if I had "trusted" his "service."
