    Owner is a cool guy. I had a minor issue, and he was able to fix it quickly and he didn't charge me for it. Pretty exceptional.

He is Neel the owner (as you might've guessed) of this establishment on Imperial Hwy, which is thankfully not too far from us. He diagnoses quickly, gets the job done efficiently, charges reasonably compared to other mechanics we've gone to in the area, and above all is a man of integrity--he's allowed us to pay for certain repairs days later to make sure our car is running properly first. He is transparent about his shop's limitations (they don't do German cars but refer us to highly rated shops nearby). He is clearly very experienced and knows how to weigh the best repair options, especially for older vehicles. I plan on relying on Neel for years to come. Cheers!

They were busy but insured me it would only be about two hours for an oil change, break inspection, and tire rotation. Got a call about an hour later from Neel himself saying my Rav 4 was ready to go and didn't hassle me about doing any additional work, which I feel you get every time at a mechanic shop. It was a great feeling to just get the service and feed back you requested. Thanks Neel and Hector for the honestly, professional input, and transparency. Look forward to working with your company in the future. Only downside is parking. Be patient and you'll find one.

    I have brought my girlfriend's SUV to Frank a few times in recent months and wanted to write an…read moreupdate. One visit was to troubleshoot the air conditioning, which was barely cool at best. I was hoping it just needed a Freon recharge. After checking the A/C system, Frank confirmed that the Freon was just low and everything else looked good. Luckily, her older car uses the newer, less expensive Freon. I just hung out while he recharged the system, and it was ready to go about 20 minutes later. The cost was only $150, money well spent to get ice cold air conditioning back. The most recent visit was to troubleshoot a service error code and ABS and brake warning lights. I was hoping this would just be a sensor on one of the wheels, but Frank said it looked like the main ABS ECU unit was faulty. Given the potential cost of the repair, it didn't make sense given the value of the car. I appreciated his honest opinion. He said there was no charge, but I still tipped him for his time because he always takes great care of me. I have tried a few other shops in the area over the years, and had initial good experiences. However, they all eventually gave me an estimate I knew as wrong, or didn't do work they said they did. I've been going to Frank ever since, and trust him 100%. If you need a top notch mechanic, Frank is your guy!

You can bring your car here knowing Frank will be completely honest about what's going on there's no hidden agenda. He's also very personable and doesn't give you the runaround or talk down to you especially as a woman, that really matters. He treats you like family and genuinely cares about taking care of you and earning your business for the long run. While you wait, they have a cozy couch, plus ice, water, and coffee machines, along with a TV to enjoy. I can't recommend this place enough!

Thank you to the manager on site for explaining how a drive-through quick service works to me and keeping the process professional!!!!!

I got my oil change done, simple as that. The problem came with the extras... they tested the battery, and for some reason it came back as "low, needs replacement" (I'll explain the dubiousness in a sec). They wanted to charge me $350 for an AGM battery, even tried to upsell on it. Side note: granted I arrived at the tail end of their day, but they also didn't check transmission fluid. Something to consider. Needless to say, didn't take the first offer presented, as I went to a local parking lot and called AAA, have them do a remote battery service for a second opinion. And guess what they found? The battery was operating normally. Far and away from the results shown to me on the valvoline worker's iPad. Which indicates that someone was lying. Out of the blue, this seems an isolated incident, a one in a million chance; but I have it on good word from a local FB group that this is happening with other folks as well.. not with batteries necessarily, but crucial items such as transmission fluid supposedly very low, when in fact it was their oil. Out of respect for going there for years, I will not say names... but I must affirm that this is the one time any type of doubt is put in place for this establishment. And such doubt (not to mention potential for flat-out lying to the customer, all for the sake of making extra at the end of the day) is something I simply cannot stand by. Please, beware: it is genuinely nice to go here for the convenience... but it's a shame that I feel I almost always need a second opinion to do any kind of service done for my vehicle. If the point of Valvoline is to be a reliable/trustworthy one-stop shop for any quick service... in terms of trustworthiness and reliability, they are failing here. And I urge retraining or a QA audit on the location to ensure that trust is rectified and genuine. Thanks. TLDR; oil change good, love the convenience, seeds of doubt/potential deception when checking battery (between Valvoline, AAA), urge QA best practices are followed or risk widespread criticism
