Minoui’s Mobil Service Station

The mechanic is very DISHONEST.
My senior citizen parents took their car to for an oil leak to the Mobil gas station, and Sol, the mechanic, gave an estimate of $ 1000, but when my parents refused to use his services, Sol requested for $ 65 inspection fee. He neither disclosed the inspection fee, nor received a written approval from them. He refused to return the key and kept the car against their will. I called him and tried to reason with him, but he used a fowl language and hung up the phone. Unfortunately, after waiting for an hour, we had to call the police to get our car back. We just took the car to Pep Boys and we have been quoted for $ 462.85 to do the same repair.

I’ve been coming to this gas station for more than 20 years for gas and the occasional scratcher tickets, but I will NO LONGER RETURN HERE AS A PATRON! The owner or manager hired this rude and lack of customer service degenerate named JIMMY (HE HAS CURLY HAIR) and was extremely rude to me. The first time he closed and locked the door as I approached to enter to pay cash for the gas in my car. I knocked on the door and he wouldn’t open it. He claimed that it was because of a Caucasian man that was outside. Well, the man he was referring to was not doing anything. Fast forward to today, January 8, 2016, I stood in line to redeem my two scratcher tickets and it was my turn at the front. He told me I had to step to the back of the line. I asked «Why?» he said because I have to pay cash for tickets. I told him I was only going to redeem them for the same tickets. I asked «YOu mean to say if it was my turn again, I have to step to the back of the line?» Believe it or not he said ‘YES!!!“
What kind of bull shit service is this kid giving??? Never had a problem before in 20 years and the person who hired this lack of customer service «KID» NEEDS HIS HEAD EXAMINED! THIS STATION GETS A ZERO RATING

Worst service — and I use that term loosely — ever. Would rather run out of gas and call AAA than go back there. Absurdly rude.

One time I had explosive diarrhea and I couldnt hold it any longer. The guy told me I needed to buy something in order to use the bathroom. I promised him Id buy gas after I was done. So he allowed it. Whatever came out of me was nuclear and it probably stunk up that entire gas station for hours. I apologize for that.
Either way, I thank the guy for letting me use his can. I did hold up my end of the bargain and got gas. So kudos for that.

The price of gas at this place is redunk. It is Hollywood but it’s quite annoying to have to only get a gallon or two until you can get to a less holy-hell-Hollywood-that’s-expense gas place.

This Mobil typically charges twenty cents more a gallon than other gas stations within a three block radius, though according to the fuel expert behind the register (he was eating a microwave burrito at the time) Mobile’s gas has fewer additives, and is thus better for your car.
I’ll take his word for it, though honestly, it all smells dizzy to me no matter where I go.
He will also sell you a Snickers bar for $ 1.09 and a 2 liter bottle of Sprite for $ 2.75 with a completely straight face.
Anyway, why am I reviewing a gas station?
I’m not, really.
I’m actually reviewing the automotive repair garage they’ve got off to the side.
The men who work there are all big, burly «car mechanic» looking types who can be intimidating if you don’t know what you’re doing. If you just need an oil change, make sure they know that — because if they think you’re a kid or a window-​licker, they’ll go head over heels to convince you your transmission needs a complete overhaul.
Don’t be a sucker [at inappropriate times]!
On the plus side, their garage people are pretty speedy, mostly, I assume, because the line of people in front of you never really is all that long (think: «Kevin Federline poetry reading»), and they don’t charge you as though your dollars are Weimar Republic money.
I needed an oil change and was in and out in ten minutes.
$ 24.
Such speed is rather unbecoming in other matters, but in this one?
Cargasm.
