After having the same mechanic for over 20 yrs, it is hard to know who to trust. I took my car in because the air conditioning was not working. I left it and he said he would get a look at it in the afternoon. He did as promised and checked it out. But was not able to do the repair himself, referred me over to where they send customers for a/c issues. Referred me to Best auto Air conditioning and heating where it was fixed. It was quick and very reasonable and I cannot thank you enough. After the heat we were experiencing it is great to go down the road with my windows closed. Thank you for all your help. read more

I had such a great experience at Oilys Automotive! Definitely a great small business I support. There was a large waiting room filled with a kids corner, pinball machine, and magazines in the waiting room. To me what was most standout was their customer service-- I called in and was able to make an appointment. Process was seamless and at the end, Dylan printed out a report that was very easy to understand yet insightful Would definitely recommend thank you Oily's Automotive! read more

We took our old 2005 Chevy Tahoe to Oily's Auto Shop. It belonged to my girlfriend's dad, who has passed away, so it has a lot of sentimental value to her family. Because of that, we didn't want to take it to just any shop. A customer at my work recommended Oily's Auto Shop, so we brought it in to fix the A/C and have the vehicle checked over since it's an older SUV. There was a small delay with updates at first, but with the recent heat and the circumstances at the shop, it was understandable. In the end, we were very happy with the results. Dylan and his brother took great care of the Tahoe, and we could tell they wanted to do the job right instead of rushing it. Thank you, Dylan and the team. We truly appreciate the work and hope to come back again in the future. read more

I came to Oily's Automotive because of all the reviews mentioning honesty and no upselling, and after my visit, I completely get the hype. From the moment I walked in, everything felt straightforward and professional. No pressure, no gimmicks--just clear communication and solid service. I went in for a routine oil change, and just like others have said, there was zero attempt to tack on unnecessary services. They were upfront about timing, kept things moving even though the shop was busy, and made sure I was taken care of. Everyone was respectful and efficient, and I never felt talked down to. It's easy to see why people have been coming here for years. Honest mechanics are hard to find, and Oily's delivers exactly that. Fair prices, trustworthy work, and a shop you can actually feel confident coming back to. This will definitely be my go‑to spot moving forward. read more

Frank Anthony is a funny guy. He was a technician. I like the team dynamic of the shop. Everyone is on the same page. They're willing to go above and beyond. They also do veterans discount which I find awesome. read more

As a first time client, it was nice to experience such to-the-point and no nonsense service. At any other establishment, it'd be jarring, but this is the type of service I appreciate when I go to mechanics. And although they were no nonsense, they were still respectful and did not treat me like a sucker. It was the same treatment for anyone who walked through the door. I made an appointment, came in and said I need an oil change and brake fluid change, with no need to for engine and cabin air filters, and they took care of me. No sales tactics to upsell me on unneeded services, no shady "oh your filters are dirty, you should change them", etc. It looks like they were behind when I got to my appointment, but they made sure to get my car done within the quoted time of an hour - even going as far as to tell their mechanics to "catch up the Lexus - he's been waiting". I'll definitely be back for my scheduled maintenance. Prices are very reasonable on their own, and are a great deal compared to the outrageous dealership service costs.

Great service, highly recommend!!! They did everything right and I would and will definitely use again!!

Service- excellent It's a family-run business, father and sons plus their staff are friendly, helpful, highly skilled, tons of experience and knowledge, and very honest (which is refreshing) Cost - excellent (sometimes they don't charge me even when I insist) Conclusion - I won't go anywhere else. read more

Friendly, efficient, and communicative. They will not upsell you on unnecessary services. Used to get services done at a dealership but now I only go to Oily's for oil change and other maintenance read more

Beware if you are a single woman who doesn't know a lot about cars. They did multiple damages to my car , charged me a lot of money, never fixed my car right and when I went back to talk to the owner he told me there was nothing more to be done. I had to take my car to the dealer and there was a long list of damages on my car and this shop was the only one I ever took my car to because I trusted them. Super disappointing. Just be careful. read more

Service alone brings this place to 5 stars. I was able to make a same-day appointment for an oil change and they were more than happy to take me in. I got my car and all was good. Price was very fair for just a simple oil change with full synthetic oil. Like some other reviews, you won't be bothered with extra stuff that fluffs the bill. But on the other hand, they may not bring up things that you don't ask for. Of course, I'm sure if they saw something unsafe, they'd bring it to your attention. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Highly recommend!! They were super professional, got me in for a same day appointment, and my drop off to oil change being fully done was 20 minutes! Also no extra hidden fees (or unnecessary add ons recommended), a very fair price and great service. read more

Fair priced and to the point, won't upsell unless really needed. Friendly, accommodating, and efficient. What else could you ask for? I will always recommend Oily's. So happy to have found them. read more

Oilys is the best. Everyone's so kind! I took my car in thinking it was one thing and when it turned out it wasn't and I had alot of questions, they didnt make me feel dumb and they didnt sound irritated at my questions. When it turned out it was something they couldnt fix, they didnt charge me an arm and a leg. This shop brings a real comfort when youre already stressed out of your mind. I will always recommend Oily's for car care. read more

Came here last July for an overall maintenance and tune up and told me I needed new brake pads and rotors on the front of the car so I was like okay no problem. 350$ dollars later... I went on about my day but heard funny noises coming from my tires but didn't think much of it. Fast forward to this month I went to a different mechanic because I moved and they took one look at my front brakes and said that they were crap! The brake pads and rotors that this place used were cheap!! 350$ for some cheap brake pads and rotors. Yeah no, pass. read more

Transaction of an oil change and checking of engine maintenance was as smooth as motor oil!

Quick and friendly service. Their price for oil change is reasonable. They only carry one brand of oil designed for Chevy but you can bring your own and pay for the labor. read more

I am impressed with this auto service shop. They are very friendly and honest. They give you what you asked with no high pressure upsell. In fact, I went in and they were booked full but he did a quick look and sent me on my way to auto zone he could have easily booked me an appt and charged me to do a diagnostic. read more

Always does fantastic work! Father-son business and both of the guys are super polite and helpful. I'd make an appointment over the phone since they're usually super busy. That's not a bad thing! They are busy, because they do great work, and people love to service their vehicles at Oily's! read more

First time getting an oil change here, referred by a trusted friend. I received excellent service. They were expecting my arrival by appointment, and got me in and out of there with swift precision. I own 5 cars that aren't an EV, so anytime I can find a good quality shop with excellent rates, I'm there. Was willing to make the drive to Fountain Valley to another shop that I used to frequent - but had to pivot away once they began over-charging me. Oily's is closer, better and offers outstanding value - sold. read more

The only thing better to say now that I have been bringing our cars to them for over 10 years is that they now have dad and both sons working there. read more

Today will be my last day bringing my car to oilys. They used to be great but their mechanics right now are dishonest and careless. Telling me that there's no gasket on my throttle body where I am 100% percent is there because I just put them last night. Not only that, their mechanics destroyed my throttle body air intake tube. On top of that, I have to pay their $90 labor that I didn't ask for them to do. I told them to check but they did not let me know that they'll take it apart. Such a bad move oilys. read more

Great, fast and reliable service. Not sure if it is cheaper than the dealer since I have not compared, it probably is, but nothing beats a 30 min oil change check-in to finish. Very friendly staff. read more

fast, efficient, very good customer service. close to tasty morning breakfast places.

My go to mechanic for the past 5 years. They are quick, professional and the best integrity. Thank you!

So happy to discover a great honest repair shop after just moving to the area. I highly recommend this family owned and operated business . They stay busy for good reason , Thank you. read more

Friendly and fast service. Can be a bit backed up during weekends but otherwise a great price to get oil changes and have your car serviced.

Good, honest, capable shop. What more can you ask for in a mechanic? These guys are never pushy with their recommendations and you definitely don't get the vibe that they are trying to upsell you on everything. I've had nothing but a great experience coming to Oily's. read more

Came here after my ToyotaCare plan expired and seeing as they wanted to charge me $600 at the Toyota of Buena Park for a service, AND my bad experiences with Jiffy Lube before with another car: I decided to try out a local family-owned business. Both gentlemen working here (Brothers) we're so nice & courteous to me both in person and over the phone! They were up front with the price (no surprises), and very straight forward with everything, in a non-pushy way. I was a walk-in so I waited about 2 hours in their lobby area, but it had some nice ambiance music going, with plenty of chargers if needed. They even had a nice little desk area which was perfect for me to get some work done! I overheard a customer complain about the price after her oil change was done, saying she could find someone cheaper (it was like a $20 difference because she had synthetic oil vs the regular oil), but In all honesty: to start off, you get what you pay for, and these two were honest & courteous, clearly caring about their long-term customers (I was there long enough to observe their relationships with past customers). Secondly, the price is actually pretty spot on for an oil change, it's actually a bit cheaper than other places like Jiffy Lube or the outrageous dealerships prices. Glad to have a local spot I can bring my cars to in the near future, and also refer to friends and family! Thanks for making me feel welcome guys! Keep up the good work! read more

I can't say enough about these guys. They are so helpful and honest, it's almost too good to be true. They have helped me and my friends and family countless times and I've never heard of a bad experience. They have never charged me for inspections and always get back to me with a fair price quickly. They aren't afraid to tell you it's not worth fixing as well, which is just as valuable as anything. Give them a shot, you won't regret it. read more

Oily's Automative will be my new go to mechanic shop. They're quick, do quality work and most of all they're honest people who take pride in their work. Came here for an oil change and transmission fluid change(drain and fill). All services were done in less than two hours. The owner who I assume is Babbington even mentioned that I probably don't need a transmission fluid change since my car mileage is still low(this is how I know this business is honest and is not trying to scam people). Overall 5/5 experience. read more

I recently went to Oily's for an oil change. And wow are they great! Clean and tidy shop, the friendliness from the staff was beyond awesome! They took their time with my car but, also had me back out on the road quick. Such a cute place and a family owned business. Prices are super reasonable. Come check them out ! You won't regret it ! read more

I used to live a block away, but never used Oily's because I already had a mechanic that I totally trusted (albeit he was down in Redondo Beach and I lived in Fullerton). After that mechanic retired, I felt lost. Seeing the good reviews for Oily's, I eventually got round to trying them out. I think I've had my car there for various repairs maybe 3 or 4 times so far. The most recent repair was just today (Jan 7, 2023). My battery light came on, and I thought I would need a new alternator (my car is 30 years old and still uses the original alternator). But they looked and found it was simply the belts. Saved me time and money. They could have easily cheated me and changed my alternator and I wouldn't have known the difference. But they didn't take advantage of me. Finding an honest mechanic that you totally trust is so important. Unfortunately, I moved out to Brea, so I'm about 20 minutes away from Oily's now. Still, that's not as far as Redondo Beach, I guess. I'm a fan of Oily's... read more

I called late but they got me in the same day . Oil change taken care of. No fuss No drama. Just good old fashioned service

As an update to my previous review, my faith in this local business has been restored. Dylan is the type of employee that every business should have. Through the entire experience he was prompt, efficient, honest, and sincere. I was contacted and taken care of same day. Based on this interaction, I'd gladly recommend this shop to anyone looking for an honest and accountable repair shop. To the owner of Oily's, Dylan is an invaluable asset in the modern business arena. I'll have no qualms bring my cars here in the future. read more

Oily's Automotive - Somehow bent this heavy gauge steel skid plate after they changed my oil. - Auto Repair Near Me - Fullerton, California

Great service, super friendly, fit me in for a same day oil change. Clean and comfortable waiting area, in and out in less than an hour, affordable experience and didn't have a ton of scary upcharges at the end. Cheaper than me buying the oil and doing it myself. Literally the perfect auto shop experience. Thanks guys! read more

We love and trust Oily's because they always deal with us very honestly. Truly priceless when you are able to trust the business owner and know you're in trustworthy hands! Thank you Babbington, we truly appreciate your help today. read more

I like their oil special and I always get synthetic oil changes. They did a tire rotation for me with the special along with other services. It came out to be in the $60 range. Wait time was about 45 minutes to an hour. Checking my tire pressure and adding air was part of that service in the Oily special. Overall, I paid for a service and they did it. It would have been 5 stars if my tire caps were on completely instead of lightly placed on. It's a little detail, but for someone who is constantly on the road for snow trips or climbing, my tire pressure has always been something I needed to rely on. Not to mention, I never reset my TPMS sensor after changing my wheels, so to have loosely placed instead of screwed on tire caps for the air was unsettling. I'd still come back in the future, but I'll be double checking my tires to see if the caps are on to my liking. read more
