Cornejo’s Service Station

Just got Smog-​checked there.
Whole thing took under 20 minutes.
They were friendly and didn’t try to ‘upsell’ me other services (the car had just been serviced at another garage).
They had a GREAT smog-​check coupon on their website (which they honored without complications).
It’s the type of 1^st impression that would make me feel comfortable taking my car there for repairs.

I’ve been to this station many times as I live in the area… I will NEVER EVER GO BACK! I needed gas and air in my front right tire. I said to the guy behind the counter, I’d like $ 20 and could you please check my tires as I know one really needs air. He said I will but the first tire is free and if any others need air it will be $ 7.50 PER TIRE!!! I reiterated what he just told me because there is no way I heard him correctly and in his arrogance, he said I heard him correctly. I got $ 10 and said I will never ever be back. I have never heard of charging for air and question if this is station policy or not… especially after reading a guy charged him a dollar to use the restroom. Something is not right.
I will never go back to Cornejo’s Service Station. I would like to give them zero stars.

Smog check done in 8 minutes! Fast and great service! Check in for a discount. You won’t find this in the smog check category on Unilocal without searching for it for some reason

Incredibly rude service. I’m a long time customer and the guy running the counter wouldn’t let me use the restroom before filling up. Desperate, I told him I’d be filling up, he wouldn’t believe me. As I pleaded further he told me they didn’t have restrooms. Finally he relented but made me give him a dollar to use it. Last dollar I’ll ever spend there. There’s a nice shell down the street that I filled up at.

I went to this place today because my car was required to do the smog check, the staff was friendly especially Marvin. They have a special price for this job but at the end I paid only $ 28.20 because I showed them the Unilocal coupon $ 19.95 (6÷20÷15) I’ve seen other places that are charging $ 100 to do the smog check, No way, there’s a big difference in prices. So I left happy and will be back again for sure (if my car needs services).
Thank you guys :)

I chose this place for my smog check because it was on the DMV list as a STAR Smog Check place (not sure why I needed that? Maybe because my truck is over 10 yrs) and because it is near AAA and I was in a rush! They were nice and use a new machine that took like 2 MINUTES!!! Super fast and AWESOME! And they even gave me a AAA (Auto Club) discount! I’ll return next time! Thanks Corenjo!

This place is a little pricey for repairs but the mechanics are straight up and honest with you. They don’t try to up-​sell or cheat you, which is a rare thing with mechanics. Their work is good and solid. I’ve never had any problems when I used to go to them years ago when I had an old Bimmer.
My family has a business close by, so we’ve always had very good relations with the Tony (the owner) and his employees from the very beginning. They’ve always been nice and friendly. My favorite mechanic is Eddie. Ask for him– he’s very well knowledged and professional, even if he seems short and curt with his responses.
I don’t get my cars serviced there anymore, but I still go in for the coffee. They serve Gaviña Gourmet Coffee, which I really like.

Haven’t had my car services by them do take this review as an example of the customer service instead and not the quality of their work. I went in to see about getting my AC recharged before a trip up north (where it’ll be hot). I tried speaking with one of the mechanics about it and he spoke really low (and the other mechanic was working next to him so that made it harder to hear). When I asked him to repeat what he said he got really irritated with me, said; «Oh, I guess my English isn’t that great so I’ll have to repeat it.» in a condescending manner and the from that point on was kind of a dick about it. He told me to come in the next morning but to be honest, I have no desire to bring my business to a shop with passive aggressive mechanics who treat prospective customers that way. If I did that in my business, I’d be fired (and with good reason).

Cornejo’s has been my go-​to gas pump for years. The price is always the best around.
I’ve also used their mechanical services a couple times and have no complaints. They may not smile a lot :) but they get the job done and I don’t feel ripped off. Which is enough for me! Trust is key.

Love these guys!
Awesome service and they really do an amazing job. Totally honest and hard working. I had another mechanic really do a bad job and about 7 or 8 months ago after feeling something wasn’t right I took it to these guys on a referral and they sorted out the problem immediately. Recently I hit something on the freeway and did a lot of damage. These guys really took care of me and walked me through step by step everything they needed to do and did a great job. So sweet and so great.
They are the best!!!

i love this place and not only because its up the block from home but because the employees always greet with a smile and are always very sweet.

Randomly stopped by this place because I was having car trouble and am very happy I did. Definitely the best experience I’ve had with auto repair. The customer service was amazing, the staff was very friendly and informative with the diagnosis of the vehicle’s problems. And they were reasonable with the price. They’re the kind of trustworthy you can usually only find in small towns. Hopefully will not have to return soon, but if I do, I’ll be looking forward to dealing with them.

I started taking my 2003 Mini Cooper S to Cornejo’s at the beginning of this year. I had the rear brakes rebuilt, (Drums, Rotors, Pads and a Caliper) And recently had the AC Compressor replaced. The business is honest, Eddy called me throughout the service to inform me of what was going on. I live very close to the shop and love that they open at 7AM so I can take my car in early enough and be at work on time. They consistently beat the major gas station prices in the nearby area and they have earned 100 percent of my business. My Mini runs fantastic and I love supporting a family business. Highly recommended, it is no wonder they have been in business for so long.

I have been coming to Cornejo’s for over 10 years. I live near the beach and we even pay for AAA extended tow to cover the tow fee. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve brought one of our cars in becuase someone has suggested «a problem» (usually when my husband decides to get the oil changed at Midas or such) and Eddie or Tony has refused to do work that wasn’t necessary. As a woman it’s very refreshing to be able to patronize a business that doesn’t try to take advantage of my limited auto knowledge.
Highly recommended! Honest and trustworthy.

I get all my car repairs done here, as does my family. They do great work and are honest about things that need repair. For example, I brought my car in to get my front brake replaced. About three weeks later, I started hearing a grinding in my rear brakes so I took it in to get those replaced too. However, the mechanic told me that the brakes were fine and just needed to be cleaned. It cost about $ 20.00. Glad that they didn’t replace the brakes since they were good, even though they would have made more money.

This is a great independent station. The gas prices are always competitive, if not cheaper than the surrounding stations. The owner, Tony, is very nice and friendly. I needed air in my tires once and the kid who worked there was more than helpful giving me a hand. We have had small things done to our cars, smog check, tune-​up, etc. and they have done a nice job. They have just added a pump for «full service» for those who need it, which of course adds to the price, but that is to be expected.
I live near this station and must say they keep it pristine. They are always adding a coat of paint here or there and have recently added a little outside sitting area with flowerbeds. They have also expanded the inside by adding coffee, drinks, a little food, etc. Nice business to have in the neighborhood.

EXPENSIVE, EXPENSIVE. I know that this place has been around for awhile, But that does not excuse the fact that they will charge you the top cost for whatever repair that you may need. I unfortunately was unable to shop around at the time for a comparative cost. But once I did, I realized that they over-​charged me 150+ for the job that was to be done.
