SynFast Oil Change

Very fast service and very little pressure to up sell. $ 19.99 oil change. Can’t do it myself for that price. Thanks guys!

I saw SynFast Oil as I was passing by on Hwy 111 and realized that I needed to get my oil changed. They were able to take me right away as it was not that busy on a day that was 107 plus outside. The entire staff were very professional and did and excellent job! So much that I returned to the location within the hour with my second vehicle for the same service. I now have a place that I can trust and close for all my oil changes. I absolutely recommend this place.

Going on a road trip and wanted to make sure all my fluids and tire pressure is all set. One place wanted $ 40. Called here and Manuel said come in at no charge. Thank you for the great service!

This is by far the best and most honest service center I’ve been too. I’ve been a client for years now and won’t go anywhere else. My review is for Palm Desert location only. The Cathedral City location is unrelated and not up to the same standards as Palm Desert. These guys have always been honest and fair with me. Give them a chance to impress you. No excuses or BS.

Ramon and his team were great! No wait at all and thorough and honest shop! I was in town for the weekend when my light went on! They took good care of me and my car!

Fast friendly service oil change, they had some other service recommendations but were not pushy about it when I declined. I will return

I am in Cathedral City on business and I googled a place to get an oil change. I looked at several places that I had passed while driving, but I was drawn to Synfast once I read the glowing Unilocal reviews. I printed up a coupon, checked hours of operation and drove over to the Palm Desert location, only to find them closed. It was Sunday. So, I called this morning and Francisco answered the phone, cheerfully. He told me that they had just opened. I, then, headed right over. I pulled in and he greeted me, by name (darned vanity plate cover), as I exited my vehicle. He, immediately, drove my car into one of the bays and started the vehicle inspection. He offered me several options for the oil change and did not attempt to pressure me into a higher cost oil change when I chose the value oil change. It took approximately 20 minutes and I was done. He told me everything checked out good and I needed nothing else. My jaw could have dropped to the ground because I have never gone to a mechanic or auto repair shop, of any kind, and been told the service I came in for was all I needed. Francisco was AWESOME from the beginning phone conversation right through to him saying goodbye as I exited the establishment. I would recommend them to any and everyone I can speak to. I hope anyone who reads my review will give them the opportunity to service their/​your vehicle. Francisco, keep up the great work!!!

Went here today for a simple oil change. 15 minutes later, I was out and on my way again. They were super professional, courteous, and very efficient. Basically, exactly what you want when you need something done as simple as an oil change.
I will be back!

These guys are awesome! My vehicle was taken in right away and I even received $ 10 off my oil change!

DO NOT GO HERE. This place is TERRIBLE — they almost killed me! Look them up on online — the larger company has a history of performing negligent services and getting sued! I went here to change my break pads. The place was empty and it was close to work, so I thought it would be easy. The kid said he would also check my tire pressure, but when I got my car back the tire pressure light was still on — should have been a red flag but I went on my merry way.
A month later my brakes completely failed while I was driving 40 mph on Highway 111! Then the kid who did my breaks told me it must have been foul play, even though he admitted that he removed bolts for the calipers and that is what had come loose and caused the breaks to fall off. Then the manager came by, freaking out, and told me it was «literally impossible» that it was their fault. They purposely tried to scare me into thinking someone was out to get me. They had me call the police to make a police report, which I did figuring the officer would see that this was all their fault. The manager also made me pay $ 6 to replace the bolts that had come loose, which was incredibly strange. They drove around all day trying to get the bolts but came up empty handed. I even spoke to the regional manager who said it had nothing to do with them and they would not help more than fixing it.
I did not want these guys touching my car ever again, so I took it to a trusted mechanic. He laughed out loud when he heard their story. He said it was obviously their fault as the industry standard is to tighten the caliper bolts with a mechanical device to make sure its on tight enough so as not to come loose. He said it seemed clear that they did not tighten the bolts and they became loose over a month of driving.
But still, the company refuses to refund the $ 120 I spent to get my breaks fixed there. They still are saying someone is out to kill me, instead of taking responsibility for causing my breaks to fail or trying to appease a dissatisfied customer. Thank goodness no one was hurt in all of this. Please don’t go here!!! They perform negligent services and they can’t be trusted. The worst part in all of this is that they continued treating me like shit.

I came to this place after being lied to by another place regarding my fluids and flushes that needed to have work done. I’ll start with the good: they were honest about the age and importance of the fluids, pointing out which needed no service, an alternator belt that needed to be replaced, and my power steering fluid, they also mentioned that I had a leak in my oil pan and the gasket likely needed to be replaced.
I showed up for an oil change– the service was prompt as the garage was empty. Before I left, they told me that the last service tech didn’t screw the filter in all the way and was leaking. I said thank you and left. Two days later my brother, who is very mechanically inclined, said that my car was leaking oil.
He got underneath and found the drain plug loose, and where he saw the leak near the gasket found FIVE bolts loose letting oil out where they said the gasket needed replacing. Not only did they not perform the oil change correctly with the drain plug loose– they didn’t even check what was actually wrong with my oil pan without incorrectly diagnosing and telling me it needed more service. Where the drain plug was loose, there was a puddle of oil in my brother’s driveway.
They also mentioned many things that were «for my safety» but didn’t mention the severe inner tire wear at the two wheels right next to the engine that I didn’t know about.
Was lied to by the last mechanic, was mislead and had poor service from this one, the search continues…

My review is long overdue; I had service in June 2012, but have always planned on writing up a good review for the guys at Fastlane (i.e., Synfast Oil). My car was serviced by 2 techs– Francisco and Jose. I ALWAYS expect to get ripped off by auto mechanics– it seems to come with the territory of being a female. These guys did their jobs and did it well– no crazy attempts at telling me I need an all new brake system when I’m just in for an oil change. The price is on the board for all to see. You need oil? There’s the price.
Because I felt they were trustworthy, I brought my car in for A/​C trouble a couple of months later. They apparently don’t do A/​C work and the guy referred me to his ex-​coworker down the street. Bad news! FYI if you guys at Fastlane read these reviews: Do NOT send us to your ex-​coworker down the street. He was a total Dbag and not professional at all (probably why he doesn’t work for Fastlane anymore). Other than that, I appreciate your efforts.

i Unilocaled all the mechanic places including toyota dealers near palm spring. I then called a few to get a quotes on how much it would cost for a car inspection on a car i was interested in purchasing from a private party.
Michael answered the phone and offered to take a look at my toyota prius for free of charge, while the toyota dealer was going to charge me at least $ 100. I questioned why a business would offer a free service and he simply replied with: he would like good word of mouth. unfortunately i do not live in the area to refer them to all of my friends and come back there myself, so that is why i have created a Unilocal account just to write this one review for them. I flew in from san francisco (march 2010) and sure enough Michael greeted me and started to inspect my car right away. he said the car was overall in good condition and that i would eventually need to replace the front left head light, which would cost me over $ 300. He was right! today (august 14,2010) the left head light did go out and i am paying $ 310 to get it fixed. Michael spent about 20 minutes inspecting my car and even brought me under the car to teach and explained the condition of my car. I am forever thankful for Michael at Fastlane auto. just know that you will get great service from honest Good people like Michael. Please do not hestitate to get work done here, they most certainly deserve it!

These guys just did an oil change in an Audi & though there’s not much excitement in that, they did a perfectly fine job & were really nice so I thought I’d Unilocal them. I’d stopped in on a whim and they didn’t have the filter for my A4 (you can’t use anything generic on this car so no surprise there) but said they’d order & have the next day.
They called when it came in & i drove over & they put me right in the garage. Though they said it’d probably take 45 minutes (because you have to take the skid plate off the car to change the oil — how dumb is that?) they had it done sooner. The base change is $ 17, I had extra oil so another couple bucks. Nice new clean facility, with a TV playing videos in the waiting room & a big clean bathroom (not shared with the greasy techs!) This is part of a chain throughout So Cal I think.
Just BTW — When I came in the first time, they had a Margaret Cho comedy video playing & the tech leapt to stop it when she said some scandalous word but the other guy waiting & I were laughing too hard & he relented & left it in!
