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!

I'll definitely be coming back soon and would recommend this Valvoline to anyone looking for fast, professional, and friendly service! Great value for the service on my car!

Even so, the wait wasn't too bad. Once a spot opened up, I was directed forward. The initial service was smooth. One of the male employees asked what service I needed, scanned my vehicle, checked all of the lights, and inspected the air filter. When it was my turn, another male employee checked the tire pressures. During that process, he removed all of my hubcaps. I was a little concerned about whether he would put it back properly, but I assumed everything would be checked before I leave. A female manager came over to review the information on their system, but I didn't notice a final walk-around inspection of my vehicle. Overall service took about 30 minutes. However, when I got home and checked my wheels, I found that the hubcaps had not been reinstalled correctly, just as I had suspected. Overall, the service was efficient, but I wish more attention had been paid to the small details and the final quality check. Those details make a big difference in the overall customer experience.

The other place keeps raising his rates. So I contacted Tony. He responded with a very reasonable price, $80 cheaper for two cars than my one of other mechanics. Came here twice in a week shortly after they opened and both times I was in and out quickly. Both places I've been to before are slower. One would take an hour, the other would take a 1/2 day because they're always busy. Even though Tony is about 15 minutes away from me, vs. the other two that are just a few minutes away, it's worth the drive for the efficient quick service and reasonable price.

When I pulled my car in, they told me to wait on the side. I was a bit confused at first, I thought they had to ask me what I was in for. But then I saw them bring my car into the lift, and when I saw and heard the mechanics, who are like your average Asian uncles, I knew my car was in good hands lol. Not sure if they remembered I was coming in or everyone who comes in just gets full synthetic oil changes, but I confirmed with the uncle and he said "Yes yes I got you the good kind" I realized I also needed a tire rotation so I asked him if they could do it and they said no problem 25 bucks. And I said ok no problem. Everyone was super nice and friendly, and Tony was very informative. As soon as my car was lifted, one mechanic worked on the tires and one mechanic worked on the oil change. My car was back on the ground in 10 minutes. I've never had an oil change done this fast. Not sure if I actually even waited? Lol Everyone was very quick and efficient and I loved it. I don't live in the area anymore, but live about half an hour away. but I would definitely come back for my oil changes now.
