    This review is long overdue as I have been a long time customer at this shell and have never given this place the 5 star review they deserve. I come mainly for the carwash because my car always comes out spotless and has much shorter lines than a lot of the neighboring car washes, plus when you get a carwash they give a 50 cent discount per gallon of gas. The staff is always super helpful. The manager Bassam always checks my car after it gets wiped down to make sure I'm happy with my wash. These guys are awesome keep doing what you're doing.

    With integrity I must remove 1 star for the reasons below. Gratefully it doesn't really affect their rating. Update: Prices have recently increased. Now $5.95, $8, $10.95. Not a huge deal, but if it increases anymore, the tight squeeze and maneuvering in/out may no long be worth it to me. Just being honest. Vacuum nozzles have been changed as well. They look nice, but I find they are harder to reach tight crevices in my car. I'm developing a collection of vacuum tokens. Maybe I can sell them back for a free wash? Haha Staff is still awesome and friendly. They give out FREE hot dogs to their customers on the weekend with a smile! I always decline, but I'm grateful for the offer. Great group of people and I'm still happy to support their business. Still can't beat the 20 cent per gallon has savings! Check them out at least once if you haven't. Peace!

    I come here as an alternate choice than the one on Palm Ave. The gas here is a little cheaper for the super. There is also a car wash here. I was in need of a car wash after the rain we had. My receipt was valid for 14 days and today was the 14th day so I needed to use it before I wasted some money on a car wash. The guy at the front guides you on the track. Once you are on the track, he will ask you if you want a token and a free towel. Cool. I always get it cause it is free! Once your car is on the track, you put your car in neutral and don't step on the brakes. You are guided through the car wash as soap is on your car and the red and green cloth brushes through your car. The next step is the water rinse, and then the exit. Once you exit, put your car back in drive and pull up to the guys that dry off your car. They hand you a scented paper to put in your car. I just do not like how this is on the corner near the freeway. It is hard to get in and out of here. The gas is a little cheaper here. I like coming here for the car wash though. Great service!

    I thought I got screwed buying a used car from an older guy who seemed legit. I paid $2,300 in…read morecash, got a clean title, and was told all it needed was a CV axle. I figured I could handle that since I was tight on cash, and the repair wouldn't go over $500. After a quick test drive around the block--where I did hear some clicking, but it didn't sound too bad--I decided to buy it. On my 20-mile drive home, that clicking sound started raising doubts. It didn't seem like just a CV axle issue anymore, though I couldn't quite figure out what it was. The engine and transmission were running great, so I thought it had to be something simple, right? I took it to a highly-rated local shop, and they diagnosed the problem as the front differential or transmission (it's an AWD vehicle). Unfortunately, they said they don't work on transmissions. Well, FML. Next, I took it to a well-recommended transmission shop. After a few days, they confirmed the same issue and gave me a rough estimate of $1,900 to $2,500 for a used replacement. No rebuilt or new parts were available. FMLx2. I then brought it to my go-to guy, who's great at swapping parts and doing some diagnostics. He said he could handle the repair for $1,200, including sourcing a used part. But after two weeks of searching, he had no luck. FMLx3. At this point, I did my own research and decided if I could stay under $2,500, the repair would be worth it based on the car's value. I posted a project on Yelp to solicit bids from local shops. That's when Memo from AAMCO reached out. I was hesitant at first, but AAMCO has been around forever, and Memo seemed legit. I figured they'd either be the most expensive or the most reasonable since they specialize in transmissions. I checked reviews on Google and Yelp, and they looked good, so I decided to give Memo a shot. I dropped by to talk to him, and he was great--super communicative and really listened to my situation. I left the car with him, and the next day, I got a call. Of course, the repair exceeded my $2,500 budget. Same diagnosis: front differential/transmission replacement with a used unit. The estimate was $2,800, but they'd thoroughly inspect the replacement to ensure it was good. So close, but still over budget. I told him I'd call back. I was ready to schedule the car for auction and cut my losses, but something in my gut told me the car was worth saving. I called Memo back and asked if he could do it for $2,700. After some discussion, he agreed to work with me. Two days later, the car was ready. Memo had a surprise for me--the replacement transmission came with a new mount, and they managed to bring the total cost just under $2,600, nearly at my budget. THAT is honesty and integrity. I've been driving the car, and it feels exactly how a 20-year-old car in great shape should. No more clicking noises, and it's running beautifully. Since AAMCO handles other types of repairs, Memo and his team have officially become my go-to shop. I highly recommend seeing Memo at AAMCO if you need reliable, trustworthy service.
