    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!

Not once, but twice in a row. I came to get my van washed about a month ago with Bronze wash. I always get the bronze wash. They didn't vacuum the rear seats and the trunk. They did not wipe my front console, windshield, front dash, and middle console. They did not wipe down the inside of the doors and hatch where it closes to the car. I gave them a pass. It was a hot day. Today, I came with my wife. We brought both of our cars. This time they took time on my van. My wife's car was out 30 min before mine was finished and hers was washed about 20 min after mine went through the wash. Her car was not vacuumed in the rear, the trunk, and the front and middle console was not wiped down. We can still see fingerprints on the front touch panel. My wife had already left. Got home and noticed all of these things. I complained to the supervisor. I told him I've been coming for 30 years. Told him about my last experience. All he offered was to ask my wife to drive back down for them to clean the rest. He said he will double check my van to make sure it's clean. My wife is already home and has already cleaned the mess they didn't clean. I don't know about any other patrons, but you should not have to double check the work. I never did since 1996. There have been a few missed spots here and there, but it was minor. Something's wrong with the operation. It's not the same. I still have a free wash to claim. We will see if these two stars will go to 5 stars. I wanted to give 1 star, but 2 just because they been better. I want it to get their attention to improve. At $35 for bronze service, you guys be the judge.

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...

Let's start with the good. I spilled some smelly food on my passenger car seat on Friday night and contacted several businesses to get a quote. Frank was one of the first to respond, offered a fair price, and was available to come out the next morning to help clean my car. He was prompt, professional, and seemed to do a decent job. I tipped him for the service and let the car dry out with the windows down for the next few days, as directed A few days later when the car had dried out, I noticed the smell had improved, but was still present. I contacted Frank asking nicely if he would be able to come back and do a second round of cleaning, stating that I understood that this was just a particularly stubborn food spill and offered to pay him again for his time (I also left it open ended so he could name an appropriate price). This received no response. I followed up again, again to no response. I was turned off by this lapse in communication and went on to seek another company to help do further cleaning - which they did two more times, and with prompt and clear communication. Overall, I give this guy credit for doing a decent job the first time around, but all subsequent interactions pointed to a disregard for customer retention
