    Came here to get my oil changed my second time , and now I'm missing a screw because they didn't tighten it enough .

    Service was always helpful and good but the second time I went not so good ended up leaving with a loose screw and now the piece is rubbing on my tire when I turn my wheel

    Coupon text

    Went in for an oil change and attempted to use the coupon posted on their website for $5 off your oil change. I was told that you have to print the coupon out to get the discount (even though that isn't in the text on the coupon or on the website). After a lot of back and forth the manager said he would allow me to go print the coupon and bring it back and he would refund me the $5. I said OK and that I would bring cash with me to pay instead of the CC I used originally to save the 2.5% fee. I get back with the coupon and the cash and informed the manger that I have the cash with me (it was also in my hands and on the counter when he took the paper coupon) he refunds the $5 and then asks..."what are you doing?" to which I told him I brought cash back for the payment like I said. His response, "you already paid with card I can't do all that". Anyway, lot of time to say the visit could have been a lot better.

    I hate to leave 1 star reviews, especially from an establishment that was highly recommend to me from a family member. About a week and a half ago my car started to leak oil. The family member said go to ricks they are good. Anywho I called last week around 830 am and said I had an oil leak and is this something they can take care of and can I make an appointment; I was told it was on a first come first serve basis no appointments needed, then I asked if I come in around 12 would that be ok. Again over the phone the guy said just come on in. I went in at noon, and was told they couldn't take me because they were busy and it's first come first serve and I needed to be there by 8am to be seen (umm ok I understand that but why when I called did you say to come in only to waste my time and send me away); anywho a week later I make arrangements to have my dad pick me up a ricks at 8am cause I intend to leave my car there to get worked on for the day. First I walk up to 2 guys staring at me in the bay, (no good morning, no how can I help) as a women it made me feel really uncomfortable. I then go up to the guys and say "good morning I was here last week about oil leaking from my car and was told to come back at 8am since it's first come first serve". The guy then says "so what do you need? (With attitude)" again I said oil is leaking from my car and I would like it fixed. He then said it sounds like my "oil needs to be cleaned out and I needed to go to the car wash" ummm ok. So then I re asked, so what you're telling me is you don't fix oil leaks here then?" His rude response was we do, but not today we're short staffed and it's first come first serve. I didn't even argue, simply walked away and won't be coming back ever. The lack of professionalism, waste of my time, standoffish demeanor of ricks employees will undoubtedly lose customers. The two men working made me feel as if I was bothering them on their coffee break asking them for help. Perhaps some training in customer service is due, good luck.

    I have taken my cars to Ricks Lube on Carson St. for over 10 years. The other day, we took my 2006 Highlander to Rick's shop and Alex quoted $1200 to fix a broken coil, broken part, and a coolant leak. We took the truck to a different shop and was told to fix the broken coil and broken part, the cost would be $160. I always thought Rick's Lube was an honest car repair shop. SHAME ON YOU RICK. You lost a good loyal customer Alex, Thank you for the detailed explanation as to why my truck was going to cost $1200. I never saw anything written down.

    Coupons don't matter here. They will charge you what they want. If a coupon for a oil change says 29.99. Be ready to pay for 43.99.

    Alex said, it is a relatively new car and the transmission oil, which is probably synthetic, will not have to be replaced until 100K miles.

From different auto shops to even dealerships -- not one place has done as an exceptional job as One Stop Lube N Brakes. I initially thought I only had one issue with my brake pads needing to be replaced, but it turned out that I needed other things to be fixed as well. They didn't take advantage and broke down step by step each issue and what I actually wanted to get fixed instead of overcharging. My entire service was done within two hours and car drives so smoothly. Having peace of mind and finding a place that you can trust with your vehicle is truly priceless. Will be coming back and recommending to all my friends/colleagues.

ECO SMOG advertised a one-stop service, which made it the obvious choice to save time. I stopped by without an appointment directly after returning from Arizona, about 1.5 hours before closing. Dru initially informed me that there might not be enough time to complete everything since he already had other appointments scheduled. I understood and was completely fine with that since I did not have an appointment. There were a few cars ahead of me, so I waited about 15-20 minutes before it was my turn. Dru completed the VIN verification and emissions test on my vehicle. He then mentioned that the next appointment was running late and offered to fit my car in for the title transfer and registration so I could receive my plates and tags without needing to return. I was very excited to hear that, as it saved me an additional trip to the DMV or AAA. Dru was professional, efficient, and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. It's clear that customer service is a priority here. The convenience of having everything handled in one place made the experience smooth and stress-free. While some other places may offer coupons for less expensive emissions testing, the value of top-notch service and genuine customer care is well worth it. The time saved and the quality of service provided made the experience far more valuable. Thank you, Dru, for going the extra mile to help me out. I highly recommend this business to anyone who needs smog services or assistance with vehicle registration. It was a great experience from start to finish.

I made an appointment through their website, very user friendly, and received a confirmation text shortly after. I decided I needed to modify my appointment, there didn't seem to be an option to do it on the website, so I texted the number back and asked to change my appointment, this was done quickly without issues. I arrived to my appointment 10 mins early. Dru was very helpful, friendly and professional. He entered my car's info into the system, and once my car passed the smog check, everything was updated and entered into the system already so that when I pay my registration, the DMV (or in my case, AAA) will see that my car passed the smog test. In case the system isn't updated, I was provided with a hard copy certificate to prove that it passed. My entire appointment took 10mins altogether, can't beat that! Pricing was fair and affordable, depends on the year of your car. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs a quick smog check station.

He was patient, professional, and took the time to clearly explain the requirements for performing a smog test. I drive a mid-engine sports car, and because of California's stricter smog inspection standards, technicians are required to visually inspect certain engine and emissions components. Since my engine is covered and requires tools to access, the technician explained that he wouldn't be able to perform the test unless the engine bay was accessible. He also clarified that it's not their responsibility to remove engine covers. I mentioned that in the past I had smog checks done without needing to remove the engine cover. Instead of getting annoyed or dismissive, he calmly explained that those technicians likely didn't follow the procedure correctly and that the visual inspection is required so they can verify certain emissions components and stickers. I appreciated that he took the time to explain the reasoning behind it and educate me on the process. Even though I ultimately went somewhere else because I found a better quote, I still wanted to leave a review because the technician was respectful, patient, and very professional throughout the interaction. I thanked him for taking the time to explain everything. Overall, a very courteous and professional experience.
