I've been going to Valvoline Instant Oil Change in Redondo Beach for years, and they've always…read moretaken great care of me. The service is consistently excellent, and the team always goes above and beyond. This review is especially for Corey. I stopped to put air in my tires at the gas station next door, and a gust of wind blew my door shut just enough to lock it with my keys inside. Corey came over and helped me for more than 10 minutes, working with a coat hanger until we were able to get the door successfully open. He didn't have to stop what he was doing to help, but he did, and I really appreciate that. It's rare to come across people who genuinely go out of their way for customers. Huge thanks to Corey and the whole Valvoline team. Highly recommend them.

Overall, it was a "known quality" good experience, A-OKAY, and I'd endorse them and come back…read moreagain. There are some pros and cons that can be debated. This is what they call a "Drive Through" service, so you come, and there's 3 service station lanes, you pick one and it takes 15 minutes for an oil change. So, you stay in your car and wait, you don't park and set an appointment or leave to do anything else. You sit and wait from waiting through process service and finish. If you come when it's empty, it's fast and convenient. If you came and there's 3 cars ahead of you in a lane, you can assume each car represents 15 minutes and your own car takes 15 minutes, and that equates to a minimum of a 1 hour processing time from the start of your wait 'til the completion of your oil change. Maybe more as they offer other services and have to check you out with payment processing. They do their multi-point car inspection for trivial things like windshield wiper blades inspection (with potential upselling replacement installation), Air Filters, Tires, etc. - - If you're good at declining/saying "no" and not being a fear factor impulse agreeing type, you're "safe" as they are not "high pressure" sales team that uses scare tactics and are just doing their job with safety inspections. It's a business model to upsell customers, no harm, no foul common with every garage/auto service. So, their pricing is where it comes subjective. Their rate card in 2025, I believe is $57 for a regular oil/filter change, $80 for a hybrid synthetic oil/filter change, and $107 for a full synthetic oil/filter change. You'll probably never pay rate card. They offer coupons online on their own site for discounts. They have FSI (Free Standing Insert) mailers they distribute coupons. You'll see $10 off, 20% off, and various discounts of you Google search for offers. They have/had a Groupon coupon for 40% off (although the Groupon offer doesn't include sales tax and a disposal fee, so you'll have an outstanding balance beyond what you paid for the Groupon as an FYI). The bottom line is you need to do your own research in your area for the best rates if you're just looking for the cheapest oil change. Generally, oil changes for standard oil is as low as $40 and synthetic oil can be $60 and up, but that might mean driving to Gardena or further. With that, Valvoline has a FMV (fair market value) rate based on convenience and expertise. They're not an indie garage; they're a known quality company. The staff is excellent here. I called and a lady answering was so super friendly, helpful and nice. The service crew were young and very professional and polite. I don't know about their experiences and skills, but it seems like a simple oil change these days where they don't even hoist your car up on a lift and drain the oil out, but seem to stick a vacuum tube from the top dipstick pipe and suck out the old oil and then use the same to refill the new oil. I'm not sure if that rids off of the sediment that settles at the bottom or not, but I imagine it's "good enough" as they also recommend oil changes every 3,000 miles and/or 3 months as a suggestion. I used to think (and still do) that with Synthetic Oil, you can easily go 7,000+ miles and maybe even 1 year without an oil change (check your dipstick to see if the golden oil is black and has any sediment as your own DIY judgement as possible determining evidence of necessity) Sure, you could get a cheaper oil change (much as you could also pay more). The experience of the service would be harder to compare and beat 'tho as the staff here were nice. I have read peer Yelp reviews that range from * one star to * * * * * five stars, so there's no guarantee on what your experience will be, but like everything else, "do your homework" and read all of the reviews to determine if this could be the place for you. For my basic oil change it worked for me.

Raymond and the Team were top tier! I originally wanted a set of tires that weren't in stock, but…read moreRaymond went above and beyond to help me find the perfect alternative. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, and paid attention to all the little details that most places would overlook. I got quotes from other shops that were competitive, but the level of customer service here made the decision easy. The team cares about their customers, does quality work, and take pride in what they do. If you're in South Bay, and looking for honest advice and great service, i'd highly recommend Raymond and Pacific Tire!

Then we found Pacific Tire. They took the lug nuts out and charged us quite a bit less than what we had quoted from 2 other places, and they did that together with tire rotation and an oil change in about 2 hours. They also found a nail in the tire and patched the tire up for free! We feel so relieved and are happy to have found a better place to have our cars serviced from now on.

First time customer, blown away with service…read more Quick drive thru oil change and they treat you like king! Price is super great! And on top that, they gave me $20 off coupon to use! I take my new Toyota Rav4 hybrid to the dealership for service but the dealership replaces oil every 10k miles for hybrids. They recommend every 10k but we all know it's every 5k even on hybrids. So needed just oil change. This location is right across from my house and focuses on oil change. I talked to the manager Fidel. Super nice guy, very honest and what they do and how much they charge. This place is super flexible, you can bring your own oil and/or oil filter of your choice. They charge $50+tax if you bring your own oil and filter. They take $2 off if you bring your own oil filter only. The mechanic Imari(?) did the work on my car. Amazing work and professionalism. Calls you by "Mr. LastName" and says "My pleasure". They talk to you very professionally! They show you your oil level while you wait in the car. They communicate with teammate underground professionally in a precise manner as well. Service should take like 15-20min. He even showed me my engine air filter. They top off your fluids and pump air into tires, free of charge. They provide tons of complimentary work for the price of just oil change. Best customer service. 10/10 recommend this place!! I would love to see them carry some OEM oil filters. They're not expensive ($10 on amazon for toyota) and they don't go bad. I would pay slightly more in service if they carry that.

Truly a drive thru oil change station, again like I said with trying to be quick and rushing, you sometimes forget things (like resetting the maintenance/oil service light).

Was recommended by my friend and also boss frequents this place as well so that always helps to find a trustworthy auto shop. Not sure of the name of the initial guy who helped me but just told me to right down my info and leave the car keys. Mo the other man there ended up taking the order sheet and my keys but heard he is the owner. Everyone seems to think they come off rude but I think they just have that serious look on their faces and shouldn't take it to heart. At least I didn't since I needed my car fixed and they were highly recommended. Anyhow, on work order sheet they ask the time you need your car back so I wrote 4 to 5pm since I assumed it would take all day if there was going to be a problem. I went across the street to Amai coffee to wait. Dropped off car a few minutes before 9am. They had 2 cars being serviced at the time I left my car. Got a call from Mo around 10:35am. They did the oil change and checked everything for leaks and since car engine fan was one of my concerns they checked coolant and head gasket (don't ask me what that is but assume it has to do with the cooling down of car lol, obviously I am not an expert). He said all looked fine. Got my car back earlier than I thought but car sounds great again. I am happy! Thank you guys for your help. I will come back for our family car needs.

BEWARE SCAMMERS!!!…read more I was charged for coolant under circumstances that do not add up. Women and anyone unfamiliar with cars, please be careful here. Valvoline told me the engine coolant in my Nissan Rogue was "completely empty" and charged me for two quarts. When my partner saw the charge, he immediately became concerned and questioned how the coolant in my one-year-old car, with only 28,000 miles, could possibly have become completely empty--especially since it was reportedly fine at my previous oil change three months ago. There is no normal reason for that to happen so quickly unless the car has a serious leak, yet they never mentioned, investigated, or warned me about one. I never saw anyone add coolant under the hood. I had been driving all day in approximately 80-degree weather, and the car was turned off for no more than 10 minutes during this 15-minute visit. Both coolant reservoirs are pressurized and clearly warn against opening them while hot. I do not believe they added any coolant at all. The pricing was also misleading. Their automated phone system quoted $88 for a full synthetic oil change without disclosing an additional $27.99 labor charge. My receipt shows $88 for parts plus $27.99 for labor. Customers deserve clear pricing and proof that every charged service was actually performed.

From different auto shops to even dealerships -- not one place has done as an exceptional job as One Stop Lube N Brakes. I initially thought I only had one issue with my brake pads needing to be replaced, but it turned out that I needed other things to be fixed as well. They didn't take advantage and broke down step by step each issue and what I actually wanted to get fixed instead of overcharging. My entire service was done within two hours and car drives so smoothly. Having peace of mind and finding a place that you can trust with your vehicle is truly priceless. Will be coming back and recommending to all my friends/colleagues.

What we were quoted at Firestone simply did not make any sense when a local competitor could provide the service for a fraction of the cost.
