Quality Tune-Up Shops

$ 28 (with coupon,) and about 10 minutes out the door for an oil change, filter and lube. You can’t beat it! I called earlier to make sure they had time for me if I came in around 4:30. They pulled the old gray grocery getter in right away and didn’t try to upsell me on anything. I don’t know if they checked anything either, but you get what you pay for. I’ll trust my regular mechanic to concerns or problems, anyways.

MUST AVOID THIS PLACE!
went in for a quick cheap oil change and boy was i relieved to leave the place with not only my wallet but also my mind.
i asked the guy to make sure the chassis was lubed as noted on the coupon and when i noticed they didnt do it he dragged me under the car to tell me to locate the lube fitting on the chassis. its one thing to tell me that there isnt one but to make me look stupid as if i asked for something that wasnt there for a request that was more than appropriate to get the chassis lubed was totally uncalled for. and on top of that he told me that the axle was broken and corrected himself saying it was the boot. well stupid him that when i look under the car i found that the axle boot was alright after all. instead one of the technicians pointed out it was the bushing that was shot that usually took the chassis lube and also pointed out that there was no lube fitting.
boy was i glad to just get the hell out of this fricken place. they also advised me that the hoses were shot and that the oil pan gasket was leaking. and for the oil pan gasket he estimated repairs over $ 300 alone not to mention the other repairs they wanted to do.
AVOID THIS PLACE!!!
if not for the guys hostile attitude and seeming rip off then at least for your peace of mind.

Ripoff with bad customer service. These guys are just awful. Pay a bit more and avoid these guys

I was worried after reading some of the reviews. But when I noticed the bad ones were all 2008 – 2009, and the good ones were all 2010, I decided to give them a chance. Went for a smog check, passed with no problems, and paid $ 32.20 out the door. You can’t beat that! (Sign up for their email list to get the discount coupon.) The only minor complaint is I went over to Burger King and they didn’t call when the car was ready, so I went back after eating and it was already done. But that’s really not a big deal at all.

LOWEST OIL CHANGE AND SMOG CHECK PRICES AND EXCELLENT TUNE-​UPS
Check their website for coupons. For my small Toyota 2002 Echo I got Smog prices as hight as $ 89. With coupon this place did it for $ 25 plus $ 8 for CA certificate. They did it fast and with no sales pitch. With coupon oil change with filter was $ 25

I’m not sure why this was such an epic fail for others, but I had a good experience here. I just needed a smog check, and didn’t need to go to a smog check only station. Vuong was helpful, very business. With wait time, I was there for a total of 35 minutes – no problem. I used a coupon, and saved about $ 5 from their regular rates. S.C. only stations are more expensive because that’s the only service they offer. I would return to Quality Tune-​Up for smog checks and possibly more.

I can’t say much for other people’s experience but I guess I lucked out. I came in for an oil and change and freon fill and left 40 minutes later completely happy. Voung at the desk was super helpful in answering my questions and never trying to up sell. While there Javier, who worked on my car, noticed the boot on my axle was broken. Not once did they try to sell me their services and were nice enough to walk my other mechanic through what was wrong with my car. I think this helped me get a cheaper quote from my other mechanic.
With all their great help I would have gotten it fixed there but they suggested I go back to my original mechanic to have the job done since they knew the exact history. This made them seem super honest in my book. Not sure about previous reviews but perhaps there has been a change of staff or management as I felt completely taken care of.

⁴⁄₅ stars. A great value for smog checks
I can’t speak to the oil changes or brake repair estimates, but this place has one of the lowest prices and fastest turnarounds for smog checks. There were no other customers waiting when I went so my smog check was completed in about 20 minutes.
My total, including taxes and the mandatory $ 8.25 CA state fee was lower than many of the other places I called and in some instances over 60% cheaper. The website for this location, and other Quality Tuneup locations, has their latest coupon offers. One place closer to me claimed to «match any competitor’s price», but they were in disbelief when I showed them the Quality Tuneup coupon. They were unable to match and showed me the door.
This location is not the most convenient, considering how many Smog Check stations I passed on the way, and some may consider the neighborhood a bit sketchy, but you can’t beat the price. The staff is friendly too.

THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF! We wanted a simple oil change and left over $ 50 poorer. They charged us $ 36 for new «10W30 High Mileage Oil» with oil filter, plus $ 12 for «Labor». They also gave us a brake replacement estimate of $ 550. Never again!

Peep this…
Don’t waste your time going there unless you have a coupon AND YOU HAVE TIME TO STAY AND WATCH the 3 stoogies actually do the work on your car.
Ladies, take your man or any male with you. DONT SHOP THERE ALONE!!!
Well, if you go to Burger King to get a bite to eat make it damn quick.

My last review for a while, I am knee deep in some work!
So my co-​worker takes his truck here last week for a OIL CHANGE and to check the brakes. They call back and tell him he needs a water pump, that they just replaced last year, and a $ 600 brake job.
He gets the water pump done, because he does not want to be stuck on the side of the road. Over the weekend he takes his car to another brake shop and they tell him it will only be $ 200 to fix the brakes!
I think this place needs to be investigated, just like Midas.

This place is a must-​to-​avoid. I have been ripped off twice there. The managers and clerks are hostile, angry people who present themselves with a «gotcha» attitude whenever they can. Each of the two times i was there, once to have a brake job and the second time when the brakes failed, with rotor damage some 35,000 miles later, there was a customer before me screaming and fighting with the manager over issues of fairness. Having spent over 400 dollars for a brake job that failed very quickly (two wheels), and then being given an estimate for another job over 400 dollars when i brought the car back, i would up bringing my own parts to a little shop down the block from quality and having them installed, including resurfacing the rotors, for about a hundred dollars. And i was able to buy high quality parts, unlike the garbage Quality put it at such a high price. Again, do not ever, under any cirucmstances, subject your car or your self-​esteem to the pigs at this auto shop. (My apologies to swine everywhere.)
