I found this place through yelp bc I needed an oil change but also wanted a free carwash. The oil change for my minivan (full synthetic) costed about $130. They were fast! They also checked my air pressure. The real review is for my carwash.. Omar, who worked on my car, was at it for over 30 min! I've never seen anyone so detailed. U can tell when they go back and wipe the small spots they missed. He even made sure the rims were shiny and the interior around the doors were clean. He kept going over the car many times! I thought the car was sparkly already but another impressive thing I saw was the manager walked around the car and pointed out a couple of details to which Omar fixed right away. The attention to detail was impressive. I'll be back again even though I don't live in the area.

What do I like about Mission Express Lube? No appointments needed. I stopped by around lunch time and there was no line for an oil change. Per their recommendations I also got filters changed too. I did compared the price for the filters with the dealership and they cost double over there. Also, consider getting a carwash upgrade while you're there. It is much cheaper as an add on. Please note there is a 3.49% fee for all credit card transactions. This fee is not collected by them and it's paid directly to the processor. If this bothers you, bring cash. Thank you to Marlon, Samuel and Mario for working on my car and making sure everything is running smoothly. Also the cashier Marcela is very clear explaining the service charges to me. I really appreciate that because I want to know what I'm paying for. Overall I spent 1.5 hours waiting for my car to be serviced and the part that took longer was the car wash. I went to eat while waiting so it wasn't too bad. If I went to the dealership for an oil change, I would have to drop off my car at 7:30am in the morning and it would have taken hours. I would rather come here!

Mission express lube is my go to place for car needs. I went with them to get my brakes replaced yesterday and it was a really smooth experience. They have very honest prices and everyone there was very helpful and friendly. Marlon was the mechanic who worked on my car, he did a great job and made sure everything was taken care of. Marcela was also super kind and welcoming and did a great job of explaining everything over the phone and in person. Always happy to come here.

I've brought my cars here from time to time for oil changes, but the service is inconsistent--both in quality and time. Sometimes you're out fast, other times you're waiting 2-3 hours, especially if you're doing the car wash. The oil change itself was done quickly--around 30 minutes this time--which I appreciated. The staff is fast and responsive, but the pricing is steep. I went with Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w-30, which was $109, plus another $20 because my truck needed 6 quarts. Add a $10 labor charge, and the oil change alone was $139. With a car wash upgrade ($11) and a 3.5% card fee, I was looking at over $150 total. For comparison, their Valvoline full synthetic option is about $90. Be warned: do NOT upgrade the car wash. They'll charge you, but don't actually provide the upgraded service. This has happened to me more than once. I had to follow up several times with the front desk to get it corrected, and even then, I'm not convinced I received what I paid for. You can save the wash for another day, which is nice if you're in a rush. Overall, if you're in a time crunch and just need a basic oil change, this place gets the job done fast. But between the high prices and the wash upgrade confusion, I can't give more than 2.5 stars.

The biggest thing I've noticed recently is the change in the team's attitude. Before, whenever I asked for a small favor or wanted them to pay attention to something, I sometimes felt like I was being a pain. Lately though, it's been the complete opposite. The staff are much friendlier, easy to communicate with, and most of them speak great English. They actually listen to what you're asking for and make the effort to get it done. The wash might take a few extra minutes now, but I'd much rather have that if it means they're taking their time and paying attention to the details. As someone who's been coming here for years, I finally feel like my voice is heard and that they genuinely appreciate their monthly members. That kind of customer service is hard to find these days. If you live anywhere in the San Gabriel Valley, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. I've seen the improvement firsthand, and I hope they keep it up. Keep up the great work, guys!

Now mind you, I live 2 blocks from the Alhambra Car Wash on Atlantic & Main, but I always drove out of my way to come here. I bought a booklet for the "Gold" car washes for approximately $300.00, three months before the transfer of ownership. Now if I knew what I know today, I definitely would have not bought them. I wish the cashier who sold me the booklet would have told me about the pending sale and transfer of ownership. I'm giving this review on my most recent visit. On a Wednesday, I arrived seeing that there weren't many cars on the lot awaiting to be detailed at 11:45 a.m. and departed at 1:30 p.m., only to pull my car back onto the lot near the gas pumps to "detail" my car myself. Why? Because when my car came out of the wash dripping with water and soap residue, my car sat in the blaring 102 degree Sun for 40 mins., I finally walked up to the cashier and informed him that no one was tending to my car, he immediately got on the walkie-talkie and 15 minutes later, Jenny started to "detail" my car for 20 mins. Now I'm not faulting her, but the amount of hard water spots that were on my car was out of control. Jenny and I walked around my car, and she dealt with the hard water spots I pointed out with a cheap product that was like diluted Windex to the best of her abilities, until she was summoned by her supervisor to get working on another car. I didn't want her to get in trouble, so I told her to just go because she wasn't having any luck in getting the hard water spots off my car. As I was wiping the water spots off my car by their gas pumps, with my bottle of Chemical Guy's Speed Wipe Quick Detailer Spray (which I always keep in my car, because I like a clean looking car), the lady who used to work the cashier desk walked up to me and asked what was going on. I showed her all the hard water spots on my car, and she was really ashamed of the finished job. I told her, after paying for a car wash, which is $50.00, plus giving a $15.00 tip, I basically paid $65.00 for a crappy carwash. She told me, I know you're a long time customer and have a reputation with the detailers for always giving a good tip, and apologized for the crappy job on my car, which was unacceptable, even to her standards. She said she was going to talk to the new owner's about the many complaints she's been getting lately from customers. Lastly, as I mentioned, I'm giving this review based on my last time there, but honestly, the last 2 car washes were pretty bad, and I had to wipe my car down both times. I just didn't want to give a bad review, but this last time had me truly disappointed and I need the new owners to know what's going on at their establishment, and hopefully work on improving their business. Note to new owners: I know the dynamics regarding the change of the quality of your car washes has A LOT has to do with the ICE raids, and them taking some of your best auto detailers. But if you want to charge Nordstrom prices, get quality detailers and let go your employees who are doing a disservice to your car wash business. I've got 3 "gold" tickets left. Hopefully, my next visit will warrant a new and approved review from me. Thank you.

YES the place here's busy and there's a long line. But they have 3 LANES!!! 3 LANES: 1 line is for non members and the other 2 lines are for members. QUALITY: The organization of the line got better in my opinion... TIME OF ARRIVAL: Sunday afternoon. We were car number 6 in line. I was pretty happy about that. Then, I saw a nice and hardworking lady carrying a tablet and going to ASI the cars in line. It felt like the SAME organization system used at IN 'N OUT BURGER! That was pretty cool!!! It made the line go a bit faster. We waited for about 20 minutes... VALUE: It's pretty pricey $16 for a base wash. But, I like the machine and it really CLEANS well in my opinion for a small SUV. However, I do see a lot of BIG TRUCKS in line so I think I can only speak for mid size and compact cars... Once you get to the front there's another hardworking MISTER that tells you which car you WILL go after... However, there were no empty shots for DRYING or VACUUMING :( wah wah wah... (sad cello music)... VERY ORGANIZED MISTER CAR WASH!!!!!!
