Blossom Valley Valero

My wife works very close to this shop, and had stopped by for an emergency tire repair. It turned out her tire only needed air, but that didn’t stop them from charging $ 20 for «labor» which consisted of them simply putting air in the tire. This «shop» seems like another in a long list that prey on unsuspecting female customers. I would probably go elsewhere.

Stopped by this morning after a run to fill up and use the restroom — but now they have a sign «no public restroom» and wouldn’t let me use it. Barely made it home in time. I’ve bought gas here for 15 years but won’t purchase again if they won’t allow bathroom use.

I only come here for gas, there’s never a wait time and it’s never crazy traffic to get here… Everyone who does work in the garage or inside seem relaxed and happy and nice… There’s not much to say but it has a good vibe… And it takes my credit card, some Valeros (senter/​tully) apparently don’t take credit… THAT’S STUPID

I came here for a smog check because it was close to my daughter’s dance class and I had time to kill. I was quoted $ 50 for a smog check which I think is a bit pricier than most places but I agreed since it was convenient. After 15 minutes, i was told my smog failed, not because there was anything wrong with my car, but that my car computer monitors had recently been reset and it was not «testable». He told me I still had to pay (which I was OK with) even though technically he did nothing. But when i asked if I could bring it back once the monitors were ready, he said I would have to pay again. He was extremely rude and defensive about it. I have gone to a few other places since and they confirmed that in this scenario, they would not charge the second time if I went back. I don’t think I will even get gas from this place moving forward based on principal.

Shop around if your feeling the price is a little extreme.

A neighbor recommended Mario a few years back. I like that a comprehensive bill is provided after all major and minor services to the vehicle. Mario is knowledgeable, accommodating, efficient, friendly and trustworthy. He takes the time to explain what was done on the car, and always provides options as to whether something should be done now or it can wait till the next service. When needed, someone will give me a ride home and/​or pick me up. Mario goes above and beyond for his customers. A couple of years ago I was housebound due to a fracture and the car was due for service. Mario sent someone over to pick up the car and brought it back when the work was done.

This station is as good as it gets. Mario is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Every time I go there, my car gets fixed efficiently and at a very reasonable price. I’ve been a loyal customer for more than 8 years and highly recommend him for anyone that is having issues with their car.

I think Chris K. Should understand that even mechanics make mistakes from time to time… with that being said… so do Doctors. Mario is awesome. I was referred to him from Vic at West Valley Auto Tech in Campbell. He was booked and so I took my 2004 Dodge Durango to Mario as I trust Vic’s opinion. Mario had to replace all four rotors and all break pads and even remove seized rotors on the rears. He also had to replace a transmission gasket and repair an A arm leak. I had him do a lube oil and filter also. He even gave me a AAA discount without me asking. He had my car ready by end of day and it runs like new now. Thank you Mario and staff for excellent service.

Biggest sh**t hole ive ever been to, the owner mario gave me the absolute worst customer service, and no respect whatsoever, not only are the people crap, but the prices are outrageous… 600 $ for an alternator? your just a joke who thinks he’s a mechanic. i hope you read this one blossom valley valero… YOU SUCK ! avoid this place at all costs.

Mario has always done an fantastic job on my 2 cars. He goes out of his way to make sure everything is completed to my satisfaction. He is very fair and he keeps you appraised of what is going on with your repair.

I’ve never had a problem with Mario. He is always helpful, and takes care of our auto problems with efficiency. He is known around the neighborhood as the go-​to guy for car repair. I was recommended by a local, and I recommend him to others.

Pure crap. Guy tried to rip me off by telling me that my transmission needed to be ripped open and quoted me $ 3400+ plus to fix. I called around and found that the REAL problem was a $ 200 fix and I called him on it. He admitted he was wrong and fixed it for that. STAY AWAY. If I could give Mario ZERO stars I would.

This place is okay. The owner Mario is really nice, he’s usually in the garage doing some paperwork. His staff consists mostly of teens from Leigh (at least it seems that way). They’re all helpful.
They have free air and water so you don’t have to fumble around your car looking for two quarters.
