Back again this Saturday morning for another oil change. Got here at around 8:04 ( they open at 8) and was taken in right away! These brothers really get to work! Love their honesty and the quality they provide. Both brothers have helped me out and they're both so friendly and welcoming. They still provide the punch cards and I'm almost at my free oil change . This place is by far the best when it comes to quick and easy oil changes. Thank you guys!!!! read more

First-time customer and new resident of Long Beach - from L.A., so not that far, but enough to require all new services - so glad to have found my new go-to oil change location. Fair & honest quote via Yelp, and professional & welcoming upon intake/checkout. No upsell, no other added fees/suggestions. Easy in and out on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Great place! Super quick and honest. I will go back. I was checked in and done win about 20 minutes.

1st off the rather LARGE man with the extremely long beard sitting at the front desk was extremely rude, I went there, as I usually do ; to get an oil change. He rudely said look at the sign which the sign read (oil change closed until May 27th) his rude tone let me know that he should not be the first face that you see at this establishment. I would definitely pass this place up and go to another. (my experience with the previous mechanics was good.) read more

Knowledgeable, honest and fairly priced. Will be taking my car here going forward. Rob is great and will make sure you leave informed. read more

I have been going here to get my oil changed for years. Most recently came in for new brakes. They were easy to talk to, and never made me feel dumb about my knowledge, or lack thereof, of cars. Bob walked me through every step and I felt he was very transparent about the costs. Really great shop, a hidden gem in Long Beach! read more

This is the greatest place in the Long Beach and Lakewood areas. My Dad has been coming here since the 70's when the original owner had the place. I've been coming here since I've been driving (and since the original owner's Son now owns the place). My Son has been coming here since the 2000's. They were the best then and they are still the best. 40+ years of cars and 3 generations have been coming here. If anyone knows how great My Dad's is, I would say my family does. They do excellent work and they are honest. Good prices is just a bonus. read more

Called to get a quote for an oil change. Not only did they have the best price of 5 places I tried, they got my vehicle in and completed in outstanding time. Very friendly. read more

Their service is heartfelt, honest, and top-notch, even though they're a small team. If you ever have car trouble in Long Beach, you should definitely go to them. read more

Amazing service and hospitality! I would highly recommend. Prices are very reasonable!

Quick and efficient oil change. Was honest about not needing brakes at the time. Very trustworthy. Paid $100 for the synthetic oil change for my VW Atlas read more

Honest, reliable, and fast. I normally dislike going to get my car serviced but they made it so easy. I interacted with one extremely sweet man and one more stern man (but not unkind). Neither of them pressured me to get any more work done. They told me what services my car needed according to my car, what my options are, and let me decide. I will definitely come back read more

Just a honest, reasonably priced, no fuss and no bs oil change spot. In and out. More people should go here honestly, he deserves all the business he can get. No complaints on my end thus far. read more

Every single time I visit My Dad's, I leave such a happy camper! Their service is awesome and they're super quick every time, while maintaining transparency! I've been bringing my car here for oil changes and my fiance's had his brake pads switched out here. Every oil change is quick, even on the weekends, and when they even gave me a heads up on the wear of my tires when I got them rotated. My fiance's brakes like to squeak a lot and they check out his brake pads for free too! 5 stars for the quality work, transparency, and all the great experiences!! PS, don't forget your stamp card! =) read more

Go HERE WITH CAUTION! I have been getting oil changes here for years for multiple of cars and never had a problem. Recently one of my car started to stall and shut off. I took it to the mechanics and was told it was not my battery or alternator after testing them. They then did more diagnostic for other possible reasons but nothing. They finally checked the oil and were puzzled that it was completely empty. I had no signs of leakage in my driveway ever and they found no signs of leakage. The cap the closed tight and there was no burn signs in the tail pipe and the engine pistol was fine. Very PUZZLING to all of us. They wanted to know when I last had the oil change, I called and spoke with BOB, he told me when it was done and where the mileage was at when I brought the car in. It hasn't even reached 5k yet and wasn't due for an oil change. I then told him my situation and he was so defensive and gave me their family history of the business and laughed sarcastically that I couldn't be possibly accusing them of maybe NOT putting enough oil or no oil at all (which I didn't even say,I was just telling him my situation) but he got so defensive which probably says a lot to be honest! He rushed me off the phone and told me I needed to take the car to actual professionals not the current mechanics that I was at LOL (what a childish reaction) and hung up! Worst customer service from him, he's usually so nice in person that even I was appalled. The mechanics conclusion is that maybe not enough oil or no oil was ever additionally added/changed- there was no oil so my car started to over heat and stall/shut off. Thankfully, I was proactive and was able to get the issue before my car engine blew out. They did the proper extra cleanage my car might of needed for this issue and added oil and since then my car hasn't stalled/shut off. TIP!!!! Make sure you ask them to show you where the oil line is and the old filter they replaced before you leave!! They are so quick sometimes less than 10 minutes which now makes me wonder! They just lost a customer!!! Bob- you also need to do better as a business owner you lack professionalism in customer service! I'm sure your dad taught you better when he opened this business up!! read more

I've taken my car there before and tough that they were honest but took my car for them to inspect the breaks like 5 times ( no exaggeration) and they kept telling me they were fine and had more life in them. About the fifth time I took it because I knew my brakes should be done. They told me I needed new disk and brakes! I was upset but let them do the job and didn't say anything because I don't think it would've made a difference. I should've never let them work on it because it was a bad job and ended up paying $1,400 to fix them about a few months later. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I tried going to our normal mechanic. I waited around for a while, but was not helped or acknowledged. No big deal. They must have been swamped and working with a skeleton crew. Called a couple places and was not feeling it to try them out for servicing of my vehicle. Randomly selected My Dad's Auto Service. The gent that initially answered my phone call to inquire about their availability was friendly and helpful. Upon arrival...I was warmly greeted. It was straight forward. No fuss or up-selling pitches to deal with. The location was clean and lounge was pleasant to wait in. The service was incredibly efficient and quick! Great prices and all around superb service from start to finish. I've found my new go to place! THANK YOU! read more

Don't come here if you want polite service , there's a guy with a long beard who is a complete jerk and doesn't care if your waiting at the window , on top of that he says smart remarks like "read the sign" "go look at that " when it's not that he says those things it's the way he says it , just very rude and very disrespectful and totally unexpected, since i've always came for oil changes and what not , it completely threw me off read more

First time going in for an oil change. In and out within 30 minutes. Amazing shop. Fast and efficient.

Great service. Up front. Affordable. Brought my 2010 Tundra here for new brakes and rotors. Done in an hour! Bring your vehicle here if you want an honest person and quality work. read more

Came into the shop on a Friday morning for a synthetic oil change for my car that was only 6 months old because the stealership nearby goofed on my service warranties. The associate who helped me was kind enough to listen to my rant and told me he generally did not service cars younger than 2 years. Anyway I was in and out in 20 minutes. The prices here are very competitive! read more

I'm embarrassed that it's taken me 11 years to write this review, because I love these guys! As a woman, it's hard to find a place that won't try to sell you services you don't need. I fully trust them. In the 11 years that I've been going there they have never tried to sell me anything that wasn't needed. What I love the most about them is that they are super fast!! I don't think I've ever been there for more than 15 mins. They are kind enough to offer coffee, but I have yet to be able to finish it before they are handing me my keys. Plus their pricing is great. I won't go anywhere else. read more

Went to do an oil change. Next thing I know, my engine splash shield that was ziptied is dragging on the floor. At least let me know if it was cut and needs repairing. Careless work. read more

This place has been here for 50 plus years. The mechanics are quick to work and get you in and out in no time. The guys know what they are doing and they don't operate like those other high pressure commission based oil change places run by college kids looking for a part time summer job. Trustworthy and honest! They did a brake inspection for the customer before me. They put up the vehicle on the rack, inspected all the brakes thoroughly and told him he was good and didn't try to sell him anything. The inspection was free.. What other place does that? read more

I've been a customer at mydad's for YEARS. The owner always has such a welcoming face and treats me and my car with lots of care! I've never had an issue coming to MyDad's for an oil change... and it has been 5 years! I'll forever be thankful for this place read more

Desperately needed my brakes serviced (shame on me for waiting so long!) I ended up needing a new rotor, as suspected. Huge thank you to Bob and Dave for the quick turn around and honest pricing! Will absolutely be back for future service and will gladly recommend My Dad's to friends and family. Thanks again! read more

Always have excellent service here, come here for oil changes and they were very helpful when I needed a check engine light scan. Highly recommended. read more

Very friendly and so insanely fast! Went in for an oil change and was in and out in about 20 minutes. Will definitely return.

Oil change was less than 30 minutes wait. Great customer service. Parking and waiting area available.

I called before going there to see how long it would take to change my car oil. This was on a Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised that he told me it would only take 20 minutes. The other shop I had called told me it would take 2-3 hours. Well, it took even less time than that! It only took about 15 minutes tops for them to do it. Reasonable price, friendly service, and super quick! read more

My girlfriend had gotten an oil change and a little over 3500 miles later we noticed the low level oil indicator turn on. I checked the oil level and it was insanely low. Car has no leaks, 2018 4 cylinder, less than 30k miles. Called and spoke to Bob to see if there was a solution. Especially since their techs touched the car last and it's a good chance there was not enough oil placed during the initial oil change. Bob became defensive and very sarcastic. I wouldn't recommend this place. I would recommend management to work on their customer service before they lose any more long term clients. read more

Took my vehicle here at My Dad's for the high mileage oil change and tire rotation. Outstanding service, was in n out in quick and for reasonable price. Mechanic was professional, will not trick you on things your car does not need unlike some dealerships or quick lube places. Check this place out for your car maintenances read more

I wanted to get my 4Runner checked out before traveling so I stopped off at My Dad's. I walked up and they got my info and asked what I wanted checked; which was my brakes, oil and to check the grease on ball joints. There were other customers in front of me but it only took about a half an hour! Checked everything out and turned out I didn't need anything. They're honest, didn't try to sell me on things I didn't need and even checked all of it for free! I definitely recommend this service shop because of their honesty and speed which you don't get from a dealership or many other small shops!! read more

So far I've only gotten oil changes at My Dad's, the service is exceptionally fast and they have a deal where after 6, you get the 7th free (or something similar). They've been my go to ever since it took almost 5 hours to get an oil change at the Honda dealership (that was with my scheduling an appointment in advance too) read more

I went here because of the reviews but when I arrived it was a whooole different story. I was extremely disappointed in the customer service this guys "David" provided, or lack of customer service. I needed an oil change and an air filter replacement. Mind you I really don't know about cars. I said I would like an estimate of the cost, he pointed at the pricing on the board but then said "I think those are oil prices so it might be more" EXCUSE ME!?! you have incorrect pricing up? That was a RED FLAG. His tone of voice was very dismissive and couldn't answer any of my questions. He even told me "we will charge you just to INSPECT the car to see what type of air filter it needs" Change me just to inspect!?! RED FLAG #2. Then he said in a very rude tone of voice "well I don't know, I can't tell you, maybe let's start off by seeing what type of car you have" SMH shouldn't we have started there instead of going back and worth? SMH then he walked outside to see if the prices where right. I walked behind him. I WALK WITH A CANE BECAUSE OF MY KNEE INJURY AND HE TOLD ME TO GO BACK INTO THE OFFICE FOR THE PRICING AND I TOLD HIM CAN HE TELL ME OUTSIDE SINCE ITS DIFFICULT TO WALK BACK N FORTH. He said NO. So I left. HE FAILED TO PROVIDED ME GUIDANCE, ACCURATE PRICING AND WAS INSENSITIVE TO MY CURRENT HANDICAP CONDITION. read more

My Dad's Auto Service - THIS WASTE OF AIR HUMAN IS GOOD FOR NOTHING. READ MY REVIEW. BEWARE OF HIM! - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

These guys are awesome!! They have your car pulled up before you even walk through the door. Been bringing my cars here for years. Oil changes are fast and they always fill your tires while it's in the air. They give you a punch card and after so many, you get a free oil change. Free wifi and coffee while you wait. All around good and honest guys! Definitely recommend! read more

I've had Rocky (my CR-V) for three years now and my last two oil changes have been at My Dad's (no, not myyyy dad but My Dad's). Both times, the employees have been awesome and helpful. Prior to coming here, I gave them a call to ask about the types of oil I would need since I'm driving my car to Chicago (much colder than So Cal). The guy on the phone was super helpful and honest with me. So, I came here early Saturday morning. There was no wait and my car was worked on right away. I did the maintenance package ($40), where they change the oil, rotate tires, and check everything else. They did find out that my two air filters (cabin & engine air filters; I always thought cars only had 1) were dirty and in need of a change. So they quote me a price and I decided to just go ahead with it. I liked that they presented me with my current filters and compared how the new filters look like so I can see how dirty they are. With the maintenance package and the two new air filters, my total came out to a little over $90. While I waited, I helped myself to some Keurig coffee and read my book. But the total time was probably less than thirty minutes! Super fast service since they had two guys working on my car. Also, they also have a punch card and it's a free oil change after you paid for four of them, great way to save money if you're a loyal customer. read more

See all

Well, I said I'd be back if my experience of this place changed. Boy, has it. I've been dealing with a battery in my car that's been shot for a while. The engine really struggles to turn over, and I can't even leave the lights on for a minute when the engine is off or I run the risk of it not starting at all. I finally got to a point where I couldn't risk it not starting another day, so while my car was running, I drove down to My Dad's to finally get it taken care of. I came in and shared with them the issue and mentioned that I also was due for an oil change. The guy told me it would be $20 to inspect the battery, and then $35 for the oil change. Kinda pricey, but I accepted since it had to be done. I got myself some coffee and prepared for the couple hundred dollars I was about to spend on replacing the battery. After about twenty minutes, they call me up to the counter and tell me that I'm all set. I was a little confused. Aren't we going to discuss replacing the battery? He tells me, "Yep, the battery's shot. We recommend going to Walmart or Costco to get a replacement battery." Wait a second, you mean to tell me that you were charging me $20 to tell me something I already knew, and in fact came in here and told YOU about in order to fix, and then you're not going to fix it? I accepted the $20 inspection fee because I assumed it was a precursor to, I don't know, actually fixing the problem? This is not the first time they've charged me to diagnose a problem (that I already knew about) and then proceed to do nothing about it and tell me to go somewhere else. In fact, this is the third thing. I'm really bummed, I thought this was going to be the reliable, nearby mechanic shop I could take my car to. Guess not. read more

I love supporting local auto shops, particularly this one! The front desk worker, who I assume is the owner or manager, is very helpful and friendly. My knowledge about cars is limited so I asked for his opinion about whether it's worth it for me to get the standard oil or the premium one. He recommended the standard oil - and I honestly really appreciate his response because I have been to many auto shops where they want to charge you for the most expensive service even when you don't need it. I decided to get the Oil change + rotate tires + check air pressure for $39.95. It took less than 15 minutes since it was a weekday and I came 30 minutes before closing. The waiting room even had free wifi and coffee for customers. Highly recommend this shop to anyone! Wifi Password: MYDADAUTO123 Also, don't forget to get a stamp card!
