OK it's not that bad, especially if you go to the Glendale Smog Center. It is Saturday afternoon, I cruise over, Albert walks up and starts the test immediately.

I called around 4pm asking if they could fit me in, and the awesome worker on duty (so sorry to forget your name!), said, "Come by at 4:30 as I'm working on someone else's car." I told him I was in the parking lot and why I was there, so urgently, and he got BOTH cars done before 4:40p, which left me time to jet to AAA up the curve to get my tags. Absolute lifesaver! I should also mention: I went here after hearing positive reviews (verbally) from people I know in the area. THANK YOU!! Absolute hero, that worker that day! (3/26/26, around 4:15p)

My truck is on a 12-inch lift with 42-inch tires, which basically means it's less of a truck and more of a mobile observation tower. Small children look at it the way people look at monster trucks at a county fair. Most oil change places take one look at it and suddenly say things like "our lift is down" or "we don't service... aircraft carriers." Not these guys. They walked out, looked up at the truck like they were inspecting a skyscraper, nodded, and got to work like it was a completely normal Tuesday. One of the techs climbed up there like a Navy SEAL scaling a building. Next thing I know, oil change done, no drama, no weird upsells, and nobody needed a ladder from Home Depot. Truck runs great, still sits high enough to change the weather pattern in Glendale, and I'll definitely be coming back. 10/10. If your truck is ridiculously tall and slightly irresponsible like mine, these are your people.

Do not come here for your next oil change. An employee stripped the oil pan drain plug on my…read morevehicle, and the owner, Ciro, did not take full responsibility for the damage. He refused to cover the $100 cost quoted by a local muffler shop to weld an extension onto the plug so it could be removed. The conversation ended with Ciro saying, "We are done, have a nice day." Very disappointing experience and poor customer service. UPDATE: I need to clarify several inaccuracies in the owner's response. I brought my vehicle to this shop for an oil change. During that visit, an employee attempted to remove the drain plug and informed me it had been damaged. I asked whether it could be repaired without making the issue worse, and I was told another shop could fix it and that customers are regularly referred there for this same issue. That referral came directly from the employee, not from me. The drain plug damage occurred while my vehicle was in this shop's care. Although the owner states that no service was completed during that visit, this was not my first oil change here. The damage occurred during a prior service performed by this business. As a customer, I should not be expected to inspect the underside of my vehicle after routine maintenance, nor would I fabricate this situation. This is why I requested accountability. Regarding the oil change interval, I was transparent about my driving circumstances and explained that I had added oil as needed until I could bring the vehicle in. This does not justify damage to the oil pan or remove responsibility for damage caused during service. The cost to resolve the issue was $100. My request was simply for the business to take responsibility for damage that occurred in their shop. Unfortunately, the conversation ended with a refusal to do so. I stand by my experience and my review.
