Ramon Chevron Service

I got a smog check and an oil change. The guy that did my oil got oil on the steering wheel, the side door panel and the upholsterered arm rest. Didn’t even attempt to wipe it

I absolutely love this place and wouldn’t take my car anywhere else. The staff are super nice, honest, and knowledgeable. The owner (& all his staff) treat his customers like family. I’ve had extensive work done on my Kia here for a fair price and couldn’t be happier. :)

I have been coming to the chevron for many yrs. It is the only place we take both are cars. Mark is overly honest and a great customer service person. I highly recommend it.

The tire pressure indicator in my car led me to this shop. Like some reviewers mentioned, don’t be fooled by appearances. Two nice Filipino guys promptly offered assistance and even gave me a bottle of ice cold water because it was being a day in the desert. That’s great service!

Didn’t look so great on the outside but the restroom was clean & all amenities available such as soap, paper towels, toilet paper & seat covers. Surprisingly clean.

I haven’t had my car repaired here (yet). But I called for an estimate to replace my rear shocks that a Toyota dealer in the area I was taking my car to told me needed replacing. Mark quoted me half ($ 249) of what both dealers in the area quoted. There is no way that repair costs anywhere close to $ 500. Both dealers were, to put it politely, overcharging me (one dealer even added an alignment to the cost ($ 535 total) which I had to tell him wasn’t needed when replacing the rear shocks on my car, according to Toyota’s service manual). I talked to each dealer twice, and when I mentioned to a second service rep at one that a maximum of .8 hours of labor are needed per rear shock, they wouldn’t re-​estimate the cost or even say why they were charging so much more. Oh, and the price for the shocks on Mark’s estimate are slightly more expensive (online) than the list price for Toyota’s OEM shocks! Mark even questioned whether I needed the shocks replaced at 88K miles. Turns out they’re fine. He was right.
Thanks Mark, for an honest assessment and and an honest estimate.

Charged me $ 89 for basically doing nothing. My car had engine light on and they couldn’t figure out what the problem was. So i took it to Bavarian auto in palm springs and turns out it was just the specific brand of gasoline that wasn’t compatible with the car. And Theo at Bavarian auto did not charge me a nickel even though he looked at the car for half a day. So if you have a European car don’t take it to this repair shop, go straight to Theo.

Weird, bizarre and nasty management.
My tire pressure light went on during a trip to the desert. I am a loyal Chevron cardholder and customer, plus I needed gas, so I stopped here. I tried filling the tire (free air on request like any station), but when It needed more air, I went back to ask the attendant to push the button at the register again for the air machine.
I said, «I’m sorry, I need some more air.» Then a short fat guy who is apparently the owner started yelling at me that I needed to say please, and they were doing me a favor. I replied I was about to fill my tank there which was giving them business, and he said «I don’t want you to fill your tank, I don’t want your business!»
I pointed out that I had started with «I’m sorry…» proving that I was in fact politely apologizing for asking twice. He screamed that I shouldn’t apologize but should say please! Well, then we exchanged profanities. I left with neither air nor gas, only with a very bad impression of this psycho gas station owner and his twisted version of etiquette and good business practices.

Mark helped us by checking out a used car before we bought it, free of charge!
That’s great service, he didn’t know us at all. He helped make the decision easier (we bought the car) and was friendly, too.

Amazing service. I was taken care of, the instant I pulled in the station. The staff were all cordial and knowledgeable. I was in and out in 10 minutes. My car is 2008 and the smog machine just downloads and checks my car’s computer for some data. As long as the car reports clean running data, it is a pass. Awesome. The owner, Mark, is in the station always and what a friendly individual he is. Go by and check them out.

I just had my front axle replaced. It was a painless experience. The job was done in a day, even though they seemed really busy. Mark called me 3 (!) times with updates. Some of my past mechanics held my vehicle hostage for weeks.
If your job requires more than a few hours, bring a ride. The waiting area consists of a few lawn chairs outside. There is a bowling alley across the street to kill some time. Also, there is a bus stop in front.
I recommend them so highly I advise putting their number in your phone in case of a mechanical problem or break down. 760−321−1105

As a woman it’s hard to find an auto shop that doesn’t try to cheat you. It’s always hard for me when I need something on my car fixed because my dad was a mechanic and always did my car work, unfortunately he passed away 7 years ago. It’s been a full 7 years until I have been able to find a place that I feel isn’t trying to cheat me because they think I have no clue about cars. Mark who is the owner is awesome, very straight forward and honest. The whole staff is very helpful and I can tell that they really try their hardest to give you the best deal possible. Jasper grabbed me a bottle water while I waited, which was a nice touch because it’s hot, even at 9am.
I’ve shopped around and tried other auto shops. I call around to make sure I’m getting the best deal possible. I don’t feel like I have to do that anymore, I finally have a place that I can trust! Thank you for all you guys do. It’s much appreciated!

dont let the Cheveron sign fool you! Ive had mechanical work done here on three issues: brake $ 296 ceramic pads new rotors and service. I discovered Mark (ask for Mark) after i got a quote on suspension from my regular mechanic in Cat City. 35% less for same manufacturer and product. 3^rd time back for service and new rear brakes… High marks for Mark and ramon cheveron… get your propane for your grill filled there too!!!

Ask for Mark. Amazing service. Amazing man. And the comp coffee while I’m waiting is most appreciated!
You need this in your car’s life. Trust me.

I have just started going here on a friends advice in the last year. This is where I’ll be going from here on out. I’ve had to go twice in the last 6 months. The first time for an oil change, which was done in 15 minutes without an appointment. The second time was today for rear brakes. The brakes were done quickly and the cost was less than Crystal chrysler was going to charge me. Not to mention they use a much better brake at Ramon Chevron.
Its a small shop, the owner always has a smile on his face. Makes you feel like a friend. He also doesn’t try to sell you other services like they ALWAYS do at Crystal Chrysler.
