The service quality is reliable when it's good, but posting clear prices is important because oil change costs vary widely, which can make it seem sketchy. My last oil change was around $40; then it went up to $43, and today it's $52. I would only consider getting service here if they posted fixed prices. It feels unfair that some customers get lower rates than others. I drive a Kia Soul. read more

My go-to spot for oil changes. Affordable, timely, and quality service. Each time I've been here, the employees have been super nice and helpful. They charge reasonable prices for parts and labor. I also appreciate the system and setup they have for their customers, making wait times more efficient [as seen in photos], they also put a number on your window to mark where you are in the "service line". I will say this place is popular (for good reason), so I recommend showing up 30min-1hr before they open because customers line up early! But even if you show up "late" the wait is not bad and the service is very quick. I will continue being a regular customer :) read more

Used to frequent this place, it's been sometime since I last been; I asked them how much and in 2026 now they can't give prices over the phone. There goes my business. They aren't close enough to drive by and check when I need business handled. read more

Excellent and fast service! Every single time i have been there depending on how busy they are its never been more than 30 minutes from the moment i arrive to when i leave. Great prices and excellent service. read more

i brought my 2018 nissan versa note in for a transmission fluid change, the cost was very reasonable, and the service was great, brian was very knowledgeable, just like his brother raymond and the techs that work there. i went early in the morning since they tend to be busy all day, and was done pretty quickly. you can't go wrong, going to young's auto service. i used to frequent them in the past but.moved to sf, now i'm back nice to see some places with great service never change!!! Sorry no pics this time! read more

Over priced charged me more because I bought a bucket of oil instead of quarts. Was very rude when I was trying to speak to them . Then start speaking their language right in front of me like I can't tell they are talking mess about me jus because I wanted to know what I was paying for. I will never return. Take your business elsewhere. $ 55 for an oil change???? Jus taking advantage. I can imagine how they do women when they come in. Not even bbb accredited. I wonder why? read more

Was my go to place to save some $ when they posted flat rate amount for oil changes. Recently, they told me it took a special tool & was hard to get to my BMW oil filter & needed to pay extra. I watched the guy take what looked like a standard wrench & took off the cover located on the TOP of my engine & removed the filter! My young Daughter could have done that! Pricing is not posted now. They seldom answer their phone to discuss cost but even given, was different in person. I asked to speak to a mgr. & they started to speak Chinese, saying no mgr. there & had to pay a higher price. They also do not reset odometer milage for the next oil change & have a surcharge for credit cards. Yes EVs may b affecting business, BUT the lack of transparent pricing, upcharges, & deceptive hassles are not worth the time & effort to go there. There used to be a long wait to get in & was open a lot later each day & think other previous customers r also not returning. read more

If you have a GERMAN vehicle, do NOT go here. They will tell you that they'll use the right oil for your car but they just use a general mix of a cheap oil. They also scam you depending on your appearance and the car you own! Giving me and my dad different prices every time one of us goes there! Better off with doing an oil change at walmart, they lift up your car and let it all drain from the bottom, unlike this shop just pumps it out from the top - leaving more residue of the old oil and walmart logs the service in Carfax so you have a service history! Only use Liquymoli or Castrol for euro cars, they allow for your engine to hold the right pressure and use the right additives to decrease carbon build up! read more

Guy intentionally broke some plastic on my engine. Also had brought a new oil pan plug asked them to put in and the dude took it or threw it away rather than replacing it. Dude intentionally screwed me over. Had been a off and on customer since I was in my 20's. Never again. F*** these Thieves. I 100% believe the other guys review saying they took some of his bolts and caused leaks. This place is shady AF. read more

The oil change it's good itself, the guy who coordinates needs to learn he's 1,2,3s. I was the 9th car to arrive at 7:30 and now it's 8:30, 3 if the technician have been allowing cars and about 15cars have went ahead before me who got here after I did Makes no sense. read more

Great Service excellent price! The staff is always courteous and fast and efficient! Two thumbs way up

They will mess your car up, so they can charge you to fix it!!! They strip my bolt and I had to pay for a new one. Went back to do another oil change and they said they can't do it cause bolt is strip need to re-thread it and they said it's only 90 dollars to fix. read more

Do not go to this place!! They charged me 55 dollars in labor to take an oil cap that took this man less than 2 minutes to take off. They con people into extra hidden fees when it's time to pay please save yourself the time and money and take your business elsewhere. read more

Best deal in town, great work and honest. Fast, wait in your car and pull in! Bring your preferred oil and filter. Get there early they close @ 2:00pm. read more

THEY ALWAYS CLOSE EARLY! They closed 40 minutes early and I find that absolutely ridiculous. The value is great which is why I keep coming back but I'm so annoyed bc I drove all the way out here. So dumb. This is not the first time they've pulled this nonsense. Sometimes it's an hour early. I ended up coming back the next day bc a 22 dollar oil change when you bring your own oil and a filter is just unbeatable. Ends up being 55 dollars in the end all together. All the other oil change places are charging like 160. read more

Good service and great price! They are very helpful and friendly! It is an express service with no appointment needed! read more

Great job! Always quick and the workers are very kind they just work hard so don't be offended if they not always friendly.

got an oil change for $69 for a 2022 toyota corolla hybrid, they were super quick and helpful. gave me advice, the rest of my quart of oil that wasn't used for the next time, and very affordable. had no wait in the morning and you can save money if you bring your own oil. read more

Arrived 1hr before closing. They had 2 cars in line, but they said they were closing early. It was 65 degrees outside, i understand on a hot day if they close early but it wasn't hot. I hope this place close down and everybody go broke. Because they don't like working. read more

Never really have any issues. The oil changes here are very affordable compared to other places around here and they're very quick as well. You can't beat that. I've been to other places around Sacramento but will continue to do business with these guys. read more

This is my go-to place for an oil change. It can get really busy sometimes so I always expect to wait maybe 30 minutes. I would call ahead of time or go really early during the Summer because they will close early if it is extremely hot outside. read more

Always excellent customer service & great prices. If you're looking for an efficiency this is the place

I went here because my dad, uncle and cousins all go here for the cheap oil change labor fee. Bring your own oil and filter they said. its only $15 in labor...I got here with my 4runner and was told that the price would be $45 because i have 2 extra plates that need removing. $30 more to take off 2 plates seems a bit excessive and when you add the cost of oil and the filter, its the same as getting my oil changed at my mechanics and i wouldnt have had to wait 30 minutes for my turn. I will say that they have an efficient system set up so considering the number of cars waiting, it moved pretty quickly but that sticker shock made this the first and last time that I will go back. read more

Love this Place! Cheap, Cheap, Cheap However, no thrills, no record of your last oil change. Don't bother asking the guys sitting out front under the shade tent anything. Price? LMAO They won't even give you a ballpark amount. They are semi-retired and determined to do as little as possible. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. they are scammers. I went for an oil change and first they are rude. second, 1 month after my "oil change" my car is saying my oil life is on 10%. so I check my oil tank and it has little to no oil in the tank. they charge you like 30 something dollars and don't even put oil. and no my car is not leaking oil cause I monitored it and no oil was spilling. SAVE YOUR MONEY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! read more

Young's Auto Center - Here is 1 month after my "oil change" I went in on March 30th, it is now may 13th. My oil tank is basically empty. - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Sacramento, California

Got there at 2pm. They started rolling 1 garage bay door down. And then a guy said they open only at 10-230pm.

I trust these guys more than the one across from pepboys on 47th. This guy's use the correct oil while the guy across from pepboys just use 10w30 I'm like you for real, my car says sae 016.... and he tells me your car is not new so 10w30 will work..... I'm like I took it to young auto center and the guys changed it with the correct type of motor oil.... so I would definitely recommend young...thanks guys read more

price updated: $21 for the labor (with your own oil and filter) ~$40 oil and filter at autozn plus $21 for labor, came out around $61. In my opinion let's spend couple dollars to do oil change at local dealership with cool a/c guest room and a free car wash. as you can save little time to go to store buy oil and filter. read more

Quick change and fast I like it Oil change is $15 if u bring ur own oil and filter Steering fluid change is $35 no that bad Recommend for sure especially I live close by it read more

I used to have a 2000s Nissan Altima that was working perfectly fine, note, this happened a few years ago. And I came here for them to change the oil, I hadn't brought my own and I was in a very trusting mood this day so I decided to let them use their own oil and filter, the man who was helping me then decided to tel me that my coolant fluid need to be replaced which was around another 90-130$ if I remember correctly. I noticed he used a sort of vacuum to suck the coolant fluid out, which at the time, didn't raise any flags for me and proceeded to add fluid, closed the engine up and sent me on my way. No more than a month or two later, the engine was overheating and starting to smoke when I would drive it. Not understanding why I took it to a couple of spots to take a look and they told me that oil was leaking into the coolant or vice versa. At the time I thought the car was just old and it had came to its end. But I recently learned that what he used to flush the car that day of its coolant fluid is called a flush machine (ironic I know), but in the words of Scotty Kilmer (mechanic for 50+ years, YouTube - name of video referenced here is "the truth about Lucas fuel additive" @ 4:44), "not a big fan of flush machines because sometimes they'll flush pieces from a place that's not that bad into a valve body and it won't work at all" I'm sure that is what happened with this car. At the time I had no car once this one went to crap and left me pretty lost as I was going through a lot of other stuff. So, as some people are saying, I believe these guys are very unqualified to be suggesting what to do to peoples cars. They just want to make a sale and make more money, no concern for you or your vehicle. Do yourself the favor and go somewhere where you are sure the guy looking at your vehicle is qualified and licensed. read more

Good place to get affordable oil change if you bring your own oil filter and motor oil. Labor is $9. By buying synthetic motor oil when it's on sale and coming to Young's, my oil change is less than half of going to Jiffy Lube or the dealer's. Service is friendly and efficient. Don't be afraid of the long line of cars waiting for their oil change here. This place is very efficient, they assign number so you know when you are up next. I generally wait 15-45 minutes on saturdays. After they are done, they show you the new oil. You can also see them work from the mirrors and cameras that the work is being done. They also provide power steering, AT fluid change and other services but people predominantly come here for oil change. They do accept credit card but do charge you a service fee ( I think 50 cents) read more

I can 3 different times. Every single time they're close. And their hours state that they are open. Today Tuesday 1:30.pm they are here clearly open. And I was turn away they said they are close. I'm never coming back to this establishment complete waste of time. read more

Man no matter what changes with this place, it's always the best, people say it gets expensive but when I buy my oil and filter and come to young's and they only charge labor, still beats waiting at-least an hour or more at the dealership for just an oil change!! I I'll always come here and love how everyone is so nice read more

My first time bringing my car here for an oil change that was recommended by a lot of my family.. I'll be coming back here from now on for all my cars read more

I went for an oil change in June and paid $36, but I went back today and I had to pay $74 for an oil change/filter. The thing that bothers me is that last time I went with my dad, and this time I went by myself and paid more than double the price. I'm also confused because synthetic oil costs around $15-$20 but they charged me $45 just for the oil itself. I'm assuming because I'm a young girl, they thought that I didn't know anything about cars, so just be careful when coming here by yourself--they will try to squeeze money out of you. I really liked this place at first because of the good prices but after this experience, I will probably not be coming back here again. read more

Beware, if you are paying with cash, especially with multiple smaller bills, make sure you count them right in front of the old lady's face or else she will pocket your dollar bills into her Fanny pack, and then make a scene and accuse you of not paying the right amount. Very dishonest business. read more

If you're picky about what goes into your car but don't want to do the dirty work yourself or get ripped off at the dealership, this is THE spot to go to. The good: It's BYOL, bring your own liquids, and just pay for the labor. Low prices: 8 bucks for an oil change, 22 for transmission service. You drive in, drive up the ramp, and can sit in your car and see what's going on below via the video cam they have thoughtfully put up for you. You don't even have to get out to pay. I went in with some Toyota transmission fluid and it was so quick! No wait time at all, though there's convenient parking for busier times. And as someone who has had things switched out during car servicing before, it gave me peace of mind to see everything that was happening. My mechanic was friendly and professional, although he didn't talk much. As long as he can speak the language of cars I didn't mind. The good to know: They take credit cards too. An elderly Asian lady came by to take my card and give me the receipt. More travel reward points for me, hurrah! Would I recommend coming here? No doubt. Like I said, if you want the good stuff in your car without doing it yourself or getting overcharged at your dealer, you should definitely bookmark this place! read more

Young's Auto Center - Live feed...just not the most entertaining thing around - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Sacramento, California

Pretty fast but expect to wait at least 20-45min during busy times. My suggestion is that you speak up, because I have seen people get skipped. I have also seen them swap numbers and give you a longer wait time. Arrive before 3:00pm. Mornings are faster. Other than that service is cheap and good. They suggest or try to upsell you on other things, be prepared for an answer. read more

Young's Auto Center - Waiting line tag. The person takes them and calls your number. Sometimes forgets that you had that number and calls others. - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Sacramento, California

Best place in town to go for an oil change! Have been going here for years! Very popular place for service! I bring my own oil & filter or you can buy it from them. Prices are unbeatable compared to other places. Always crowded! Due to the Covid pandemic, they close early every day. They take the cars that show up before 2pm. After 2 pm, they do not give out any more numbers for their waiting line. Highly recommend! read more

Quick , fast , affordable and they're efficient! Def recommend coming early tho or you'll be waiting for a bit
