Valley View Services

Do you like being over charged, how about getting a job half done? Do racial slurs and a car that will kill your wife and children float your boat? If so head on down to see Frank. Because HIS car care costs more than a funeral. BBB and ASE agree, worst shop ever!!!

I was one of those people who thought you had to bring your car to the dealership for any work (aka, a sucker). I was very thankful to have Valley View recommended to me. Frank always does a fabulous job with my car, fixing what needs to be fixed and nothing else, so I’m not being charged ridiculous amounts whenever I need a tune up. I usually get my car back the same day. Won’t go anywhere else!

My family’s been going here for years and Frank’s never failed us. Its wonderful so have such a reliable mechanic so close by. Recommended!

So my family insisted I give Frank at Valley View a try. Will never do business with these unprofessional people again. It took much longer to repair my car than neccessary. The owner Frank refused to call me back with any updates, and got mad when I showed up to check on my car after 2 days. Needless to say despite my family being clients for 20 yrs, I am taking my business elswhere where I am treated with respect. Then after everything was said and done, I noticed they added an oil change and new windshield wipers to invoice.

I wrote about how I had been in search of a local mechanic, and was horribly failed by Jiffy Lube. Well this is the place I had been searching for. Valley View Services is absolutely fantastic!
I called VVS after seeing a few great reviews on Unilocal,and went in for an oil change first thing in the morning on a Friday. Unlike some of the other places I called around to, they didn’t make me feel like I was an inconvenience to their schedule by making an appointment.
When I got there, all of the bays were full, so the mechanic did my oil change right in the lot, jacking the car up and bringing out an oil pan. He explained everything along the way, not in a ‘I’m dumbing this down because you are a girl’ way, but instead telling me ‘We’re going to have to wait a few minutes because I had to call in for a new oil filter’.
I was in and out in about 20 minutes for $ 30 (extra $$ due to a pricey filter… silly newer models of Corollas!). I am beyond pleased, and highly recommend VVS to anyone remotely in the area.

I’ve been going to Valley View for years and as I write this review, my 2001 Nissan Maxima sits at their shop being worked on as we speak.
I’ve brought my current vehicle, and previously owned vehicles to Valley View for oil changes, tune-​ups, brakes, headlight bulb change, clutch leaks, oil leaks and battery problems.
He offers very fair prices and he’s extremely honest; he won’t fix anything if it doesn’t need to be fixed just to get money out of you. Frank and his staff are friendly and reliable. They’ll offer you a ride home if needed and you don’t live far away.
The only gripe I have, is that they do work a little slowly but I imagine this is because so many people utilize the tiny little shop because they are so fair and honest. It would also be nice to get a call when my car is ready instead of having to call them for a status. However; I DO understand that they’re consistantly busy.
I really do enjoy this place and I’ve recommended many friends there!

After I got my brakes done, today I had to buy new rotars and brake pads. It’s less than a year and I have to pay another $ 300 at another car shop. I’m a bit torn with Valley View. The rotars were so worn down that I had to replace everything. I’m not sure if the mechanic saw that and didn’t advise me or he was just lazy and wanted to finish the job. I still think it may be a good place but beware, ask the right questions about the car.

Frank and his staff are a huge boon to us drivers of old American cars! I mention this great little shop whenever friends move to the neighborhood.
More often than not, the work I have done costs less than the up front estimate and it’s always done right. They’ll offer you a ride home or to work whenever possible if you need to leave the vehicle for an extended period. And it’s located adjacent to Shaw’s Supermarket so you can even get your groceries while you get your oil changed.
Just be sure to call ahead if possible – these reliable, honest mechanics are always incredibly busy.

This mechanic shop is awesome. It’s tiny, so you definitely feel like a person instead of a dollar sign. I went for a tune-​up and was going to wait for my car, but the guy offered me a ride home! Totally saved my day. When they called me later to tell me my car was ready I said I had to find a ride to pick it up, and he was all, Oh, we can drop it off for you. Frigging customer service up the wazoo. To top it off, the guy that dropped off my car was pretty easy on the eyes!
It’s tough to find a really good mechanic; I’m psyched to have found this place!
