Fair Oaks 76

Smog check was super fast!
We pulled in needing a smog check. They took us right away and the guy was super nice. We were in and out in 10 minutes.

Lazy mechanics, took our car in bc we noticed a nail in the tire and my cousin was in a rush to drive back to LA. They took us right in and started to jack up the car. He then took the wheel of the car and we helped him find the nail. He then told us it didn’t go all the way through and didn’t puncture the tire so it’s ok to drive on. He then told us hell charge us $ 10 or it is free if we put the tire on the car! I couldn’t believe he allowed a customer to enter his shop environment and use his tools to do his job, what if we got hurt?! He and another older man were just watching us put the tire back on. Luckily I work on cars for a living at a well known shop with proper tools and could handle a tire. I was struggling to align the wheel and I noticed the car dropped an inch since being jacked up and realized the jack is leaking and they didn’t even support it with a jack stand! I raised the car up and the mechanic noticed and said «not too much!» because he knew it was failing. Put the wheel on and they didn’t aknowledge us anymore to even offer to torque the lug nuts so I torqued them when I got home. Stay away from these lazy mechanics if you care about the safety of yourself, your loved ones, and your vehicle.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Not only are they rude, they are a complete rip off! The mechanic tried to charge me $ 5 to check and place air in the tires of my car, because their machine was broke outside after I already had put $ 30 worth of gas in.
On a 2^nd visit, the mechanic then tried to charge $ 10 just to check the oil for me and when he had seen it was low, he wanted to charge another $ 10 to put my own oil in that I had brought with me, who does that?
At that moment, I told him no thank you, i’ll do it myself and his reply was, well what do you expect we’re in America! Seriously?!? Well my reply to him was, just because you are here in America doesn’t mean you can try and rip off the people who were born and raised here and who know better! This place is a RIP OFF!

I mean I guess there really isn’t a whole heck of a lot someone can write about a gas station … Ummm nothing out of the ordinary

What do you call a repair shop that refuses to do unnecessary repairs? Never «pads» the bill, and consistently does high quality work? This is the place. BesTech (the automotive shop there) has done everything for me from transmission overhaul to oil changes. Always reasonably priced, the work always done well. I’d never thought that I would trust a repair shop, but I trust these guys.

4 stars did a drive up and asked if they could recharge my air conditioner. No problem got right on it no waiting no wining. $ 95.

Just about your average gas station. They have no customer restroom, the inside is fairly small which is fine as there is a 7 – 11 next door, and they are not open 24hrs.
One of the good things to note is that they staff are very helpful. I had pick up a bike link in my car tire and was running late to my sons football practice when I pulled in here with hopes of just putting enough air to get him to where he needed to be. Well the tire wouldn’t hold air. I asked them if they had a tire in my size which they didn’t not but instead of ending the interaction there they I. formed me they could patch the tire. Never seen this done before I was shocked it could be done. They pulled the link, filed the hole, took some needle looking thing and stuck a hard ass piece of tar or something through the hole, pumped the tire up and 10 mins later I was on my way.
Not only was the service good im STILL driving around on that tire. Pretty cool stuff. Big props to the team there!
