Econo Lube-N-Tune

My 13 year old car needed a few different services and Eddie was able to take care of everything in an impressive timely manner. Prices are good and my car is running awesome. Definitely coming back to Eddie for any car needs

I knew the battery in my car needed to be replaced for quite some time, so I went to Econo lube and was warmly greeted by a young man named Eddie. He checked my battery said it was bad, he quoted me a very reasonable price, told me 20 minutes, and it was literally 20 minutes. He was personable knowledgeable and so nice. I will definitely go here again. Thanks Eddie!

Well, let just start off by saying… SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!!! I have a 2005 Dodge Magnum and my engine blow out on it! BUT, Before i get into that, let me just say the reason i brought my car to this fine establishment was because I BRING ALL MY Cars here! George, Carlos and Tony are the absolute best! Ok so my son brought his 1973 Chevy Nova into them to have his engine replace and not only did they hook him BUT, the price and service we got was AMAZING! The job Tony (aka Big T) did on his car was amazing! He went above and beyond! So (now back to me) when my engine busted, they rebuilt it and HOOKED IT UP! i have a 5.7 HEMI in my baby and let me tell you after all the work they did on it, She is running better than before!!! As a family we are very satisfied with the services we get, and the guys are all amazing. They are truly our «one stop shop» There is nobody or no other place i would take any of our vehicles to. Make sure you do the same: o)

Ok, I brought my car here to get my oil changed. I provided my own oil and filter. These clowns are screw overs. I needed to get my STi oil-​changed asap because I was short on time and they were the closer location. I had no time to make it up to Tony’s shop on Aero drive. My car comes with an undercover. They literally left the thing on while draining the oil. So it spilt, and as I got home I was leaking residual oil from that cover and it was dripping on to the garage floor. Like come on now! How hard is it to remove a cover and put it on. My car uses 4.8qts. These guys used up all 5, I can definitely use that .2 qt for my own benefit since Subarus are know to consume oil because of their crank and PCV layout. I can use the left over to top off. All they do is push the cars through as fast as possible. They take don’t consider the quality of care. And it stinks there. Yea they work on cars and gas fumes and what not, but there’s always a stench of a rotting dead rat coming from the corner by where all the magazines are. And there are ants crawling around on the customers chairs. That’s nasty AF. CAL-​OSHA should see this instead of their garage bays. Lesson learned, stick with my original guy ALWAYS. If you got a problem with your car, go see Tony at the Aero drive location. Oil change or general maintenance. This N 2^nd ave location is just in it for the money. This place needs a new manager. Lucky for them Unilocal doesn’t give the zero star option, otherwise I’d be all over that zero like it was going out of style. Save yourself the headache and go see Tony at the Aero drive location.

Great service and even better prices. They gave me a really good deal on changing my brakes, oil change, and exchanging my filters.

I came here for an oil change because the sign out front advertised 17.99. I was weary because I’ve had bad experiences in the past at this same location.
The guy at the front was very short with me. He didn’t want to tell me the cost up front. He asked for the keys because apparently he was done serving me. Before I handed them to him I asked how much it would be. He said he didn’t know. Wait … so you don’t know how much an oil change is going to be? He said it depends on what kind of car I have. Okay, I told him what kind of car I have and all he does is say «do you want this one or the special»? and he points to a laminated paper with an oil change that was triple the price with ALL THESE OTHER THINGS THAT NO ONE NEEDS.
I asked for an oil change and how much it was going to be.
I didn’t ask you to rotate my tires, check my wiper fluid, check my coolant or any of the other bullshit things you want to charge me for.
If you take your car here watch them like hawks and question everything I’ve read others here who have had oil leaks after getting work done here. They are very dishonest and cannot be trusted.
The only reason they got two stars instead of one is that they did actually change my oil I checked it when I got home, it was clean new oil, and there was no leaks from the drain plug. But then again I watched them the whole time.

I used the special they had and it was a really good price and they are super fast… guy who helped me was kinda rude. whatever I paid $ 55 for a $ 90 oil change I’m happy :)

Came here for the first time for an oil change. No complaints, was in and out within 35 maybe less. The employee that spoke with me and rung me up was friendly and helpful. The price wasn’t outrages, and I’m happy with the overall service. Five stars, because I’ll be returning.

I’ve been here before they’re nice and helpful they tell you if its required to do so or not. But the person whose helping me out is not working here anymore so bad i will recomend this my family and friends.

Can’t say enough good things. I have been coming here for years and every time they give top quality service with timely repairs. I definitely trust the guys here and the from the manager down to the techs. Jorge and the team at Econo lube & Tune will have my business for as long as I own a vehicle

This place NEEDS to CLOSE down! My friend got her oil changed yesterday and now we are stuck in the freeway due to oil leaks. They offer you free check up but what they really do is rip you off and tell you that there’s a lot of things that needs to be fixed and they charge you high. NEVER EVER go here! This place is a SCAM!!!

I wanted to write this review because of the excellent service I received here .
I recently relocated to the San Diego area and after a long trip cross country all I could think about is my car breaking down along the way. Lucky it did not happen, but when I got here and was settle in i started hearing a sound that I thought was the muffler. It turned out to be more than that being from the north east our undercarriage gets beat up and I was aware of this as I looked for a garage to see about I stumbled upon the shop .
As busy as they are there Eddie pushed my car in for an inspection where I found out it was more than the muffler the lead specialist told other things were wrong I received a very good estimate and i let them do the work I drop the car off early the next day. They gave me a ride home .I knew it would take time to fix .I express my need for the car the following day .they took care 2 out of the 3 things I needed done .the joints were hard to get loose .so picked up the next and did what needed to do .
Dropping the car back off that afternoon I thought I would not see my car till the next day .much to my surprise he call 2 hours later the car was done. Eddie knew I would have to walk a few miles to pick it without any hesitation he offered to drop it off, it is because of their excellent customer service I will continue to use them but I do hope not to often .
THANKS FOR THE GREAT CARE

I have no idea WHY this place has good reviews! This place is such a ripoff! So manipulative! I have taken my automobiles here twice and both times I’ve regretted it! The first time one of my trucks was making a noise, so since it’s close to my house my father and I took it there, the mechanics couldn’t really tell us what was wrong with it, but they still charged us over $ 200 JUST for looking at it — we took it to a different mechanic who did some belt changes and the noise was gone, ran so smooth, and he charged us less than $ 70 — $ 200 and they couldn’t change some belts? Really? The second time we took our new truck to get an oil change, because (at the risk of sounding paranoid) that’s how they get ya! $ 17 oil change right? WRONG! As soon as our NEW NEW NEW truck was in their shop they began to take things out, filters and hoses, and all sorts of parts just ripped out of my truck, and you can’t say anything for fear they’ll completely mess up your car on purpose putting it «back together» if you say «no» to them, so we’re sitting there for five hours watching them undo and do whatever they want to our truck while they jump back and forward from our truck to another truck. When they were done they charged us about $ 180, can you imagine that $ 180 for an OIL change?! What’s worst is that the truck isn’t running the same ever since, we’ve had to bring in another mechanic to fix their damage! as I was sitting there (for FIVE HOURS) I overheard the guy next to me talking to his friend, he had brought in his mustang for an oil change and the same thing was happening to them. It’s funny how people come in for a oil change and all this stuff is being done without the owner even being asked, we had to use the credit card to pay because we didn’t have that in cash, what if we didn’t have a credit card? what would’ve happened to our truck then? This place is a scam! I don’t care how cheap their oil changes appear, it’s not worth it! Wal-​Mart does a better job! They don’t dismantling your car without your consent! Honestly I read the reviews and these people are so happy that they brought in their cars for oil changes and they have all this stuff done to them, do they realize that they’re being tricked? These mechanics are robbing people in plain sight!

I’ve been taking my car here for 2 years now. Carlos is amazing. The guys here seem to be honest and they have great deals.

My front headlight blew out last night as I needed to get it replaced asap!!! The guys at autozone said «it would take too much time to replace», so I made a stop here since they take care of my car maintenance and have always provided great service. The mechanics came out, had me pop the hood and had me in and out (free of charge) in no time. It’s little things like that, that will continue to earn my business. Thanks guys!

Had a great experience here. Quick and direct! Only $ 50 for an oil change in my V-​10 F-​250!

Quoted me $ 168 for belt change on the phone, and I arrived and handed my car keys over, they told me there was a mistake on labor calculation and the actual price is $ 302.

Really good costumer service, I brought my Mini Cooper to repair my thermostat housing and water pump. They did a full check first to determinate all the issues on my car. Then they gave me an estimate for the job and some discounts for it. Fast /​efficient job on my car. Warranty job for 1 year. Thanks Carlos and Bernardo.

I brought my brake pads to have installed at this place because I figured, hey 4-​star reviews on Unilocal,awesome… but no! So for cleaning my rotors and installing my front brakes, they charged me $ 120.
Just last weekend, I went to this other tire place near my apartment. This time I needed my rear brakes installed and I was charged $ 70 for cleaning the rotors and installing the brake pads that I had bought online.
Anyway, lesson learned. Unilocal reviews are not that reliable. You still need to call places and ask for quotes if cost is one of your bigger concerns. I did feel like I was being ripped off when that guy quoted me $ 120, but I was already there and just wanted to get it over and done with so… Oh, well! It’s very rare to find auto shops who don’t rip off their clients, most especially their females clients. It’s a sad truth.

As an Asian 20-​something year old chick, I am the prime target for car mechanics far and wide.
*Takes in car to auto shop*
Me: Hi can I get an oil change?
Mechanic: Yeah RIGHT this way! *looks at engine* wait. But it actually looks like you need new brakes, filters, and wow actually you need an entirely new engine, how have you been driving this thing?!
Me: oh. huh? really? wow thank you!!! *hands over cash moneh*
Ok so I might’ve slightly over exaggerated that scenario. but there has been many a time where I’ve left auto shops feeling hustled and played.
My first visit here I just happened to stop by because I was meeting a gf nearby. Victor knew I was in a rush, told me an HONEST time estimate, provided me with quick service, even walked me to my car to show me the difference of the before and after, even threw in new air filters for a way discounted price. (I knew my air filters were way whack for a while and he even showed me how gross they were so you guys I wasn’t being hustled). I left feeling happy and secure that all the work that was done was legit.
Like I said I am very cautious when it comes to trusting car service places, but once u have my trust, I will be a loyal customer.
Victor you got yourself a new gal!
Standard oil change is $ 19.99, tax included came out to $ 23.88!!!
