SynFast Oil Change

SynFast is great! I’ve been bringing both our cars here for several years now. The mechanics are friendly, honest, and are always letting me know way in advance when I need to come in. My oil change is fast, inexpensive, and of high quality.

Provided my own oil for a price of 33, they do a multipoint inspection and top all the car fluids.
It is nice that you can watch everything they do to your car and they don’t pressure you on the upsell.

Called in first to ask the price of an oil change, and was told $ 33 out the door if I brought my own oil. When I had bought the oil and pulled up, the greeter told me once again it was $ 33 out the door (with the filter provided too). Once I was inside being rung up, another employee charges me $ 34 plus the price of the filter, telling me they have always been charged separately. I am always skeptical of any oil change facility that cant provide exact prices. Only 3 stars since the service was done so fast but I was watching them the whole time making sure everything was ok.

Very knowledgeable staff. Had some leaks that they found during routine inspection and repaired at a discount.

I Just bought a 94 ford explorer a month ago, decided to take it in since the oil light came on. Giancarlo and Claudio serviced my vehicle, were super knowledgeable and efficient, notifying me that the transmission fluid was very black (its supposed to be red) and recommended a full flush as well as a flush on my coolant and my power steering fluid. I was a little short on funds but wanted to take care of my investment, and the good guys there helped me out a little. I was there for about 45 min but i did notice how thorough they were being, actually taking my coolant reservoir off, To clean it out, fixed a leak on a hose they didnt necessarily have to. Just honest dudes passionate about doing a great job by all means. Super friendly as well, making light conversation and keeping me posted. Keep up the good work guys, I’ll be back in a few thousand miles.

Took 10 min to start. Left in about 30 min.
Oil change was fast + service was great. They helped me with other minor issues (power steering + coolant) Brandon + Giancarlo took great care of me ! Will be back for future car maintenance needs.

Did regular oil change in 15 minutes for a total of $ 22.50
I’ll definitely be coming back.
Tip: bring your own oil for a cheaper price!

One of the most important things about getting an oil change is the right filter installed. These guys check, double check, and visually inspect every portion of the service process. They checked all my fluids and topped off what was needed. They tested my battery and said it was a little weak. I didn’t replace it but its good to know that its time may be near. My total time at the place was maybe 12 minutes tops. They were fast, efficient, and friendly.
I have to get my transmission filter replaced soon. I will be back!

Waited here an hour and a half for a break change and oil change because they didn’t have the part. Only took $ 25 off when they said it would be done in a half hour. Nice people but an hour and a half? They should have taken off more money for my time. Also never updated me on how long it would take until after an hour had passed and I began to look pissed. Took longer for the parts people to bring the new brakes then to send someone to get the part. Will never go here again.

It was time to get the storm kitty Death Star ship changed with new galactic synthetic oils and replace the super weapon brake pads. Both was costly. But worth it to get me back on the road again and get my super laser rage on. The droids were very helpful and gave me a $ 5 discount, thank you.

Stopped in for a much-​needed oil change! I was greeted by a nice gentleman named Jose. He explained my options and was clear on the differences between them. Service was fast and friendly! Would recommend to anyone looking for an oil change! Thank you!!!

I live right by this place and was overdue for an oil change, decided to give this place a try since ask the other Unilocal reviews were great. They began working on my car right away and Claudio changing my oil was very helpful. Very fast a service!

I’m not much for reviewing things, but I do have to say that my experience here has been great! Mask (the dude that helped me) and the crew were so helpful, and he even tried to help me out with a deal for some other issues I had. Super appreciated that! Pretty quick service and they were able to explain things for someone like me who is car-​illiterate haha!
On an off tangent note: the A/​C in the lobby is such a huge plus in this super nasty summer heat we’ve been having.

I have a go to auto shop in Miramar but I was severely overdue for an oil change and decided to check this place out since it’s close by to where I live. NO REGRETS.
Jose, Mask, Nick and Brad were so knowledgeable and helpful. They let me know what work needed to be done, what they recommended but were definitely not pushy– instilled a lot of comfortability and TRUST. The prices are great and reasonable– they really work with you.
Everything was done quickly and it seems weird to say but it was definitely an enjoyable oil change. Thanks to the guys for being so friendly and helpful! Would give 6 out of 5 stars if possible.

Oh my gosh! This place is amazing! Go here for your questions, mechanic needs (brakes, fluids etc), oil changes… I have never had a bad experience. Brady and Mask are the best managers ever. They make sure you understand what is happening, are real with you and are a no pressure kind of people. Every staff member is kind and can do their job right. Mohamed is legit– you need something he will help you out! I feel really happy and confident my car is being taken care of after leaving Synfast Oil Change on Balboa Ave. Don’t be dumb… Go there!

Friendly, fast, informative, great customer service! Decided to go here during my lunch break for a much needed oil change. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area.
Tip: make sure you tell them if you found them on Unilocal

The guys working here are awesome! Great with customer service and don’t try to sell you on products and services that you don’t need.
I stumbled upon this shop about 2 years ago looking for a routine oil change and since then they have truly gone above and beyond to make sure my car stays in tip top shape. Don’t let the oil change sign fool you, these guys can do it all !

Can’t say enough about these guys. Two weeks ago they did 60k maintenance on my car. When my car started making an odd noise, they found the defective part and replaced it for free. Moreover, they PERSONALLY DROVE TO MY WORK and picked up my car, took it to the station, fixed it, then BROUGHT IT BACK to me.
I couldn’t be more satisfied with this type of customer service. They will be my one stop shop for any future car trouble.

Expectations exceeded!
I had my faithful mechanic change my oil last time, and he screwed the oil drain plug on too tight. This means that my car was jacked up, boyfriend underneath trying to unscrew the drain plug with no success. SO, I came here to have them take it off with their fancy tools and whatever.
Mr. Brady is like the best ever. I paid a good price because I brought in my own oil and filter (my other mechanic doesn’t let me do this, so I’ll come here for oil changes from now on to save some $$$) and I paid a very reasonable price for an oil change. Obviously, still cheaper to do it at home, but for 10 minutes, a 25 point inspection on my car, evening my tire pressure on all tires (I was headed to the gas station to do that, so I was happy), friendly service, and accountable men working, I was a happy camper.
It’s pretty cool because they shout out what they’re doing, so they are accountable for being thorough. They will get you in and out quickly and will be friendly the whole time. I’d definitely recommend! They even give a printout at the end of your information about brake pad thickness, etc. Good to have!
I don’t know what the complainers are talking about because they didn’t try to upsell me whatsoever, and even cut me a deal since I wanted to use my own supplies.
Brady and team, thanks for taking care of me and for working with my cheapness.

I am so glad I came to get my oil changed. For the synthetic blend it was about $ 50 but at just over 126k miles on the car it was due for maintenance.
Brady «Ship» was very thorough in explaining the 25 point check on the vehicle and showing each aspect of what was recommended for changing. Specifically my transmission fluid was very low and they gave me a great deal on that!
Thank you so much to Tony & Brady for showing me the oil level & transmission fluid level before I left. Such great customer service and my car was so quiet leaving I couldn’t even tell it was on!
