Take 5 Oil Change

I don't generally write reviews, and don't seek the opportunity, but what happened to me on Feb…read more13th was too good to leave alone. On my way back to Washington from SLC, I was about 20 miles outside of Ontario, OR when my dashboard went red. If you're from the 21st century this might not be surprising, but it was to me. My 2003 Mercedes was recently acquired and I'm nearly 72. Yeah. My last car was a 1993 beater truck. Everything's new to me. Nonetheless, it was telling me engine/alternator. It was raining hard and there were no exits with services. Then a second warning: Coolant. Engine Hot. Stop. The system failures cascaded as I held my breath. I made it as far as Take 5 Oil Change. Turns out there were guardian angels inside. Out from the store came James. He could tell I was in distress and asked if he could help me. This is a place that only does oil changes. I told him my problem. He told me what he thought had happened, but wanted to run it past Neal, whom he said knew more. We went inside out of the rain. Neal and James conferred, got me inside one of the bays, and checked it out. A destroyed tension pulley and serpentine belt. They checked around, found the correct parts and made arrangements for delivery (they're not a jobber). Alex was called and asked if he would come in and secure the parts. They made the repairs and got me on my way in time to make it to my prepaid hotel room down the road. I won't disclose the price we settled on, but we all had smiles on our faces. If I go through Ontario again I will get an oil change, and I would recommend them to anyone. I trust them with my car. It matters to them.

Stopped in for an oil change and was really impressed! The service was fast, friendly, and…read moreprofessional. The staff explained everything clearly and had me back on the road in no time. Definitely recommend if you're looking for quick, quality service

The Manager Brad went above and beyond for me during this transaction. They made sure everything was clean when I was done and everything was correctly installed the first time. Alignment was correct and truck is a dream to drive. This is my third set of Cooper tires from this company and I have been treated fairly each and every time I walk in the door. Great job guys.. A+ business and professional staff.

I have been a Les Schwab customer for over 50 years. I went to my local store in Weiser to get a…read morequote on new tires for my pickup. After telling the representative the size I needed twice, the technician there kept trying to sell me the wrong size tires. After working through that, I was quoted $1352 for a set of 4. Thinking the price somewhat exorbitant, I contacted Commercial Tire in Ontario for a quote, which I where I subsequently purchased the tires - $776 for a set of four tires of the same size, style, and manufacturer as those quoted by Schwab, a savings of nearly $500! What a rip-off from Schwab! Commercial Tire was cost effective and the personnel friendly and courteous, listening to my needs and not how much money they could take me for. Les Schwab was a great company went Les was alive, but now that the company is owned by a corporate hedge fund, it's all about money and nothing else. I'll never buy tires from them again! Not only that, the people that work there don't know anything about the business they're in, if my experience is any example. Look elsewhere than Les Schwab; I'll be going to Commercial Tire.

We were on a road trip from Miami, FL to Portland, OR when our car broke down about 30 miles…read moreoutside of Ontario. It was EXTREMELY stressful, but the second I met Brian and his wife, I knew we were in good hands. She kindly took us to fetch some food at a nearby food stop while Brian went to work finding the part we needed to continue our trip. We had been swindled at a mechanic back in Denver, CO a few day ago - the part that broke on our car was the same one that was replaced back in Denver. Brian called them and tried to get them to stand behind their mistake, but they didn't. I am beyond grateful for the work they do, and for what they did for us. They checked on us to make sure we made it to Portland. If I'm ever in the area again, we're stopping by to say hello. The car hasn't given us any issues related to the work they did since. A HUGE thank you to Cone Automotive.

Honest, skilled, mechanics, and they are very kind, dog friendly people too. I always appreciate…read morethat. Cones won't take advantage of you. I thought for sure I had a bad wheel bearing, and I told them as much. He called back and said that "my bearings are fine, and all I was missing is a tie rod" and he fixed it for a fair price, and had it done that same day, so I wasn't out of a car anymore than one day. Especially when he could have also charged me for a wheel bearing replacement, and I would have been none the wiser. Best Auto shop in Ontario, hands down. Thanks Cones! I'm sure I'll be back!... Just hopefully I don't have to come back anytime soon.
