I've been coming here for an oil change about 3-4 times in the last year. I had one coming up and to just save some money, I decided to have my partner get all the stuff and do it himself. As he was getting it done, he got to taking the filter off. It was super tight and hard to remove. He had to use tongue pliers. When it finally came off.... we discovered an OEM filter....? Shouldn't the filter look a lot more cleaner and less used? Last time I had this done was about 2-3 months ago. Clearly the multiple times I've gone, they didn't replace the filter as I was told. Nearly $100 dollars for an unfinished job that could have potentially hurt my car. This is absolutely unacceptable and a straight up scam. I imagine they tightened it up so it would be hard to get to it or they never even touched it. Save your money and go somewhere with honor. I was thinking of going here for my brakes but I'm glad I dodged that bullet. So disappointed. read more

They replaced front struts, shocks, steering rack and sundries 3 months ago. My wife took it back due to severe toe wear on one front tire. She returned with an invoice for $1200 due to the car needing "new shocks, struts, tie rod ends because they're all original and worn out". They admitted their attempted theft but only offered a realignment. Will be taking them to court for tire and more read more

First time going there, normally go elsewhere, but needed to get it done ASAP. My car has always been perfectly fine, never had anything wrong with it then, within 24 started to make some LOUD NOISE! Went to a mechanic and they saw it was messed with around the bottom oil release valve is at. DO NOT GO THERE! read more

We desperately needed our front axles and brakes replaced, so we called Brake Masters. They quoted us almost $450! We were going to bite the bullet, and headed over. By the time we got there (15 mins later) they said "Oh it's too late in the day and we don't even have the parts." Why did they even provide us with a quote and tell us to come over if they didn't even intend on completing the job?! Well lucky for us, we ended up going to Dob's Brake & Auto (on the same afternoon), paid less than half AND they had the job done in less than hour. Take your money someplace else. read more

Went in for a oil change and was helped by Johnny very helpful and informative on options left a happy customer

Great service. Took car in for same day alignment and oil leak fix.

It's hard to find honest, reliable, service and hospitality in a business these days. I've been going to Brake Masters throughout the past few years by extension of my father who is a military vet, and can be a very persnickety type. I have gotten to know their staff, management and service representatives to be helpful, accommodating & genuinely there for their clientele. They are a busy location and I always make it a point to arrive as early as possible. Ray is the General manager of this location. He is personable and holds transparency and will always make it a point to clarify and work on solutions to any of your car questions and concerns. He is also seldom out of the shop. I am currently writing this review as they finish up with my car, a review long overdue. :) read more

My dad told me about this place, when I would get my oil change at the Oxnard Honda. Ever since my dad told me, I've been trying to get my oil change here. I think the one that I always see is the owner, I forgot his name, but he's pretty nice. I would go there a lot and I would only pay less than $20 - A LOT cheaper than going to the dealer ship or Wal-mart. I don't go here as much as before since I live far from Oxnard, but I recently got my oil change and paid like $23. i guess the price went up, but I'd still go here, it's still cheaper than any other place I know =) Tip: If you go on a Saturday, make sure you go right when they open, or else the wait would be at least an hr. read more

This brakemasters is the best service is always best ! RAY always manages to get it done at a great price satisfaction service!!! I'll be back to get all my service done here! read more

well I took my car on Friday it was misfireing and was there for four hours. I was told it was the spark plugs and coils. asked the mechanic told me it was tree spark plugs and coils. I then asked him so after you replace them no more misfire and he told me yes no more problems. after driving it for a mile the same thing. I called the next day and talked to the manager Mark and told him about it and he told me we refuse to service anyone. I told him he is a scammer. The only resaon I took it there because some one had told me talk to Johnny! no longer works there. do not take your car there a total rip off. over six hundred dollars he got me for. When I went into the shop the mechanic told me after the fact there was oil. if i had known that and they called me . I awould have said replace the valve over gasket. anyway that wasnt the problem. If they had read the codes they would have known it was the timing control solenoid! Do not take your car here! Mark is a total ripoff! So I took it to the one in Ventura Keith veryhones ead he code and fixed it runs great! believe the reviews! read more

Rip off!!! 140$ for a caliper never again will I come back and if mg time wasn't more valuable id have picked my car up and done it myself

Do not come to this shop, came to bring in my vehicle to change my oil and they were slow and they took 2 and half hours to do an oil change. read more

This place is recommended by friend,they offered a great price, they did good job on my car alignment, and the employee are very nice, I am looking forward to do more business with them read more

Great customer service Ramon was very helpful and a honest man. He made sure my car was fixed the right way. I had problems with my car shaking really bad and lost some screws to my engine. Also my car shut down on me and he manage to find the problem and fixed it. They worked over time on my car and I appreciate the time and effort that was put into my vehicle to be fixed the right way. My favorite places to take my car to get oil change. read more

Was helped by Johnny today very good help, helped me get a better price and worked with my time. I recommend this place as I will be back for anymore car inconveniences. read more

Last Saturday I took my jeep to Brake Masters for a routine oil change. We always go there as they give great srrvice, and it is conveniently located in our neighborhood. When the manager, Ray, called to let me know that the change was completed, he informed me that the Belt Tensioner was cracked. He gave me the cost to fix it, and I thought it was reasonable and authorized him to go ahead and fix it. I was elated that they had found it because we were about to head to Lake Havasu. It would have been a major inconvenience if the tensioner had broken in the middle of the hot desert, and the cost would have tripled. Ray and his crew excel in customer service! read more

All around Good service, quality customer service. Happy customer everytime. Id even recommend this place to my family.

I take my 05 Nissan Altima and 08 Ford Ranger to be serviced by Ray and his team at brake masters on Saviers rd. They have excellent customer service skills and automotive knowledge. I used to take my vehicles to the Nissan dealer but when they started treating us like we were not important to them I decided to try brake masters out. Glad I did. It's been a few years now and we are still happy with them. Keep up the great job Ray! read more

I really like these guys. Ramon always treats me well and takes the time to explain things to me. Recently I had an oil change, and had a new hub assembly and right control arm installed in my volvo. They also replaced my serpentine belt because it was cracking. It was late in the day when I brought the car for hub/control arm installation but Ramon managed to squeeze the job in! The mechanics are friendly and know their stuff. I trust them and their work. Several visits have shown that I get treated fairly and honestly there. When I get new front tires I will have them do the alignment. Thank you Brake Masters Oxnard! read more

So I went in there because my brakes are squeaking and I thought they needed to be changed. The price for them checking your brakes was 35$. When they check my brakes and found that I had a lot more brake pad left on my rotor and they didn't need to be changed he didn't charge me one red cent. Now that's good customer service and I will be back when my brakes need to be changed for sure. read more

What a bad service with those lazy guys it wasn't like that 3 months ago, totally NOT recommended that place is trash, they say are too busy when they are sitting in the chair all day . read more

I have only good things to say about this place!! Ray is the manager and that's who I dealt with, not only is he easy on the eyes , but he's all about customer service!! I have a 2016 Chevy equinox and I took it in because it was shaking when I hit the brakes. I brought it in on my lunch hour and I wasn't off by the time they closed. Ray let me pay over the phone and had my car ready and waiting when I was able to get to it. Once I picked it up I noticed the stereo was in "locked mode." Apparently it's an anti-theft component. I called my dealership and they said it would be $185 to unlock my radio. I called the store and Ray was upset at chevys lack of customer service. He told me to bring it back and he would see what he could do. Ray and the guys had it fixed in 15 minutes!!! Free of charge. I totally owe these guys lunch!! I will go nowhere else for my future service needs...and either should you!! read more

Whatever you do, do NOT bring your car here. They will rip you off. My daughter bought herself some nee brakes and rotors online and brought her car over to Brake Masters to install them. They said it was going to be $300!! $300 for just labor. They were trying to take advantage of an 18 yr old girl who didn't know any better. I rushed over there and took that car back right as they were lifting in up and took it over to Dobs Brake and Auto for half the price!! read more

I used to love ths place, not any more. I went for a oil change and they told me that they need to change my belts. So I did oil change and the frkn belts. On my way home my car was making a weird sound but they told me that "that was normal" cz they just change my belt. Long story short they broke my power steering pump an they didn't tell me $&%*. Till the next day that I went. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean that they can do that to me. I was so mad and disappointed, cz they let me go with that problem when they knew why they did. So nope don't go there, I don't trust them anymore. read more

Do not come here. They don't really fix your car unless you are there watching them fix it. This place is a rip off. Take your business somewhere else. They will not listen to your concern unless you have them do more work to your car and pay them more money. read more

Really liked my experience here! They only charge $25 for an oil change and it was a speedy service. Took only about 20 minutes. They gave me a list it servicing they suggest for my car but weren't pushy at all! Will be returning for more service in the future! read more

I have been coming to this location for about 5 years now, and Ramon has always been such a pleasant man to do business with. Every time I get my car worked on, time has never been an issue nor have I had an issue with the work they have done. I would definitely recommend this place as I will continue to come. read more

Fast, friendly service:) I went there, because the brake light on my dashboard stayed on. They replaced the front brake hose, that happened to give out! read more

Have been taking my families five cars to this business (for over 7 years) and have never had a bad visit, Ramon runs an efficient operation and is correct and honest in all that he does, a customer is able to come in and get just the service they need and for a fair price, they do not sell you things or services you do not need, I recommend this facility every time I get, I expect to continue to do so in the future, a final thought is that they are capable of performing complex service and repair, far better than any business of this type. read more

I was told about this place by another satisfied customer and found it to be five stars service. My truck was in bad shape and the engine shook like it was on its last road trip, but they ran tests, informed me of what needed to be done, the estimated cost and time required and they met every estimate and now my truck is back on the road and running great again. Very pleased with the customer service and quality of the work. read more

I WILL NEVER! I mean never return to this place! Went for an oil change, a month later my car starts to make a weird noise. Take it in to a shop, the advise me that I had not had a oil change for a while. I simply state that I had just took it in. They let me know that they simply ripped me off. THEY DID NOT SERVICE MY CAR, simply took my payment and did not change my oil !!! DO NOT GO HERE ! The manager is nice man.. he simply needs to change his employees and the way they run this place! I am not sure if he is aware what happens in the back! FURIOUS ! read more

Manny and crew took care of my rotating and balancing of tires within 23 minutes! AMAZING!! It was like a PIT stop. I am all about supporting our local businesses. The staff are very professional and courteous. I would recommend to everyone. Check them out! read more

This is one of the best places to go if you need any repair done work to your car they are all friendly staff would recommend it to prices are reasonable and way cheaper than a dealer read more

the service and price is fair except for their front desk customer service. I called around 9 in the morning on march 8, 2016 to get an estimate for front strut replacement. A guy named "Scott" answered the phone. He told me he was going to research about it and will call me back in 15 minutes.. After two hours of waiting, I called him back for the estimate, but again he said he's going to call me back in 10 minutes. I waited for another four hours, but still never got a call back. I was the one who had to call him back late in the afternoon, he finally said the estimate was $399. But when I verified it to the other guy the next morning, he said the estimate is around $500. I am not sure if Scott was deliberately pissing me off or he was trying to hide how clueless he is. read more

I have originally come there for an oil change. But they have checked my car as well and they have said that my breaks needs to be changed. In my head I was thinking its for my safety. So I let them changed my breaks. After a month and a half, while I was driving, I almost crash my car and the breaks was really bad that I could not stop without passing stop line. If there's a slow pedestrian, I may hit or kill them poor people. I went to a different shop to have my breaks checked. They said that my breaks was super bad. I have had my breaks changed not too long ago. And they said, "Ma'am, to be honest they did not replaced your breaks at all". I believe it because of the way my car act even after they said they replaced my break pads. I am a female and the guys that worked they are vultures. They have taken advantage of trusting customers like me. If you wanna have an accident and believe their lies for the service they have not provide or want your money stolen by this crooks, go ahead and risk your life and wallet! CROOKS!!!!!! read more
