      Went to get oil change on my car they said they couldnt do it because something was broken. Hard to understand them but they asked where I took it last and I told them it was there and they said they have no record of my car. So they broke my car last visit and tried to deny it. Dont come here!!

      my hubby had his car tune up and had his breaks checked last sunday. The car was running perfectly for a couple of days. JUst this afternoon the car wouldnt start, my hubby opened the hood and found out that one of the screws were not tightened. The breaks were still screeching to think that they "checked" the breaks.
      I WOULD NEVER EVER COME BACK to this place again. Lousy job. CRAPPY SERVICE

      Bad customer service and they really charge 35 dollars for oil change ( replace oil filter and the oil). I'm used to other place topping off all fluids and checking my tires for the same price. Will not return.

      This place is great for oil changes.

      Open 7 days a week, service is fast and very polite. They do, of course, take credit cards.

      I take my BMW here, they have the little doohickey that resets the "service engine" / you-are-ready-for-and-oil-change light.

      Although they say "10 minute oil change" it's closer to 20, but I can live with that.

      Use regularly. Fast check for details like water and radiator cap was the last thing that needed to be replaced.

      Do not use this place. Rude and a ripe off said they changed the oil then started hitting the dip stick on my motor to try and shake the black old oil off then try's to show me the dip stick from far away and real fast so I couldn't see that it was all black they didn't even change it and charged me and lied please stay away.

      I went there as a repeat Customer, I noticed that the oil used to put in my car was from a huge barrel, I asked him what type oil ,name brand is this , he didn't answer me. Reason is the oil prior had a bad smell to it . I was told it's a very cheap brand of oil and shouldn't be used . I own a 2016 dodge. Also noticed above me a sign saying 35.00$ including tax. I was asked to pay 51.80$. I said to him what about the 35.00$ including ta sign above? He said no, you have to pay $51.80.. definitely not fair business practice. Also the cheap oil, I'll never go back there again. Plus my car was making funny noises from the oil. Went had the oil drained and replaced with name brand oil. Avoid this place, not safe to put this cheap oil, save your car from major repairs. Trust me, your not getting your money's worth. Go somewhere else, avoid costly repairs . He knew I knew his scream, he refused to give me a Receipt.I should've paid with a credit card to prove if any damage comes to my car, it's from them . Please report to the Butor of auto motive repair. I am..

      This place is awesome. Went here by accident, meant to go to my other usual spot. Got here, figured might as well just get it changed, how hard could it be? The guy there was super friendly and was able to change the oil filter at the same time. Great recommendations for other problems our car had too, including the busted AC. Thanks a bunch!

      Horrible service, service guy Edgar seemed more worried about going home they didn't check air filter, washer blades... Yet checked it all off. Didn't reset the oil service light, took my car to my mechanic two days later and air filter was filthy. Kinda wonder if they changed my oil at this point. Will not recommend

      Fast oil change. Not sure what's suppose to happen. But he showed my the new filter level of the new oil.
