Moved up here pretty recently and wanted to find somewhere trustworthy.... this place had great reviews... got my oil changed. Ever since I went there my car has leaked oil... went to a new place recently and they said my oil filter was one of the leaks because it wasn't even put on properly. Maybe this place is too fast. I have had this car for 7 years and about 150,000 miles.... it never leaked.... leave here and it does..... will not be returning

Fast, friendly, and affordable service every time. This is the kind of place that makes you feel good about supporting locally owned businesses. Highly recommend for smog and oil change.

My daughter is heading to college. Got my oil changed last minute. They got me in and out quickly. There was an issue with a blown gasket causing a mess. Not their fault. It is 630 at night and they are out in my garage fixing the issue. I will 100% be returning to them in the future. Issues happen but not everyone is so responsive to fixing them. Give them your business. Outstanding service.

I'm exceptionally happy with the fast and friendly service. I went in for a Smog Test and did not have an appointment. It passed within an hour. Inexpensive! I've been to other shops for this test and the cost was double and that was without repairs needed. Thank you Fast Freddy's!

Fast Freddy's Lube Express is a fantastic hour of labor that the average person will not want to do at home.I needed a Smog test for my car. I have been in Mendocino for the last 10 years and they do not require Smog tests.My friends suggested Fast Freddy's. Excellent choice!The staff was very helpful and very knowledgeable.I will definitely be back.

After arriving and pulling to the edge of the entrance to the bay and sitting there for about 2 minutes (it was raining outside) without so much as an acknowledgement (see picture) as the staff must have been out to lunch because whatever these two worker's were looking at on their phones, even conversing with each other, was much more important than advising me whether I needed to pull in the bay or park and walk in to advise of the services needed. I'd called from Ione about 40 minutes prior to arriving regarding needing a smog completed and was advised their smog technician would be returning from lunch between 1pm and 115pm. I arrived a little after 1pm. I finally rolled down my window and asked loudly if anyone was working, finally one of the workers got up and walked over. I said I'd called about getting a smog and asked if I should pull into the bay or what did I need to do. He said the guy was still at lunch didn't know when he'd be back and to park over there (in front of the entrance of the front office). I said okay and parked. Sat there for a few minutes and thought that maybe I need to go check in inside or something because now there were other customers arriving and going inside. The guy who told me where to park, was now at the front desk helping the customers who've walked in, after my arrival. I know I sound like I'm an idiot, and probably should have known to go inside, but I wasn't directed to do so and didn't immediately think of having to do it. Needless to say, upon walking in I asked the guy do I need to check in towhich he stated yeah, I'll help you when I'm finished helping this gentleman in front of you (mind you, that gentleman arrived minutes after me, and this worker knew that). I drove in the pouring rain from Ione (33 winding road miles) to have a service completed after speaking with someone at this business about my needs. I too run a service based company, providing house cleaning services, if I acted in this manner to potential clients, I wouldn't be in business long. Eventually my needs were met and I was on my way, however, I think there's some training that needs to be addressed here along with a bit of adjustment to the attitudes when it comes to serving your potential customers. Remember, without customers, you won't have a business to run.

The staff was very friendly! Also, it is very affordable for getting oil change. Took about 30 mins even when there were about 3 cars ahead of me. I love supporting my locally owned businesses. I would recommend.

Rude customer serviceI called and was given a rude and ambiguous answer regarding whether I could get my car in for a smog.Call GS Smog instead. They were friendly and extremely fast. Like 10 minutes fast.

This place is awesome! Friendly staff and quality services! They have always gone above and beyond for any service I've had done there. Also, their pricing is always the best. If you haven't already tried this place for a smog or oil service, you must and you won't be disappointed, I'm sure. I met Fred, the owner on my first trip and found him to be an honest man with many values! In my return visits, I can attest to his diligence in staffing also, I have never had a bad experience with any of them. So glad I went there a few years ago and will continue to return for my future services as well. Well done Fast Freddy's!

Amazing friendly service for my smog. Lucked out and nobody waiting at 9:30 am on a Friday. Done in half an hour before my ride even got there. Efficient and $40 less than quoted elsewhere for my old 91 pickup.

These guys are fantastic. I come here for smog checks, oil changes, etc... But they've also helped me out of so many jams! Once, my check engine light came on and my car was sputtering above 3 rpm's. The reader came up with an error message that suggested I may need to replace some parts. However, I researched the issue myself and found this might not be necessary and possibly could be fixed by simply cleaning the debris out of said parts. I called nearly every shop in the area explaining this. They ALL wanted to charge me for a full diagnostic and other needless services that would end up costing me several hundred dollars. But when I explained this to Freddy--that I wanted them to try this before we started replacing parts, he actually listened to me. Took my car in the next morning and low and behold, less than $100 later, they had the issue fixed and it's been driving great ever since. I recommend this shop to everyone know!

Service technician s immediately acknowledged That I was there even tho they were both busy. I came in due to another shop putting too much oil in my car and need a opinion on if it was dangerously over filled. The tech advised me on possible damage that could occur and recommend removing some oil. From start to Finnish I was in and out in 15 min and no payment due!! They definitely went above and beyond for me and Earned my future business.Service: Oil change

I brought my truck to them and the gentleman spent about 20 minutes in the parking lot with me trying to figure out what was wrong FOR FREE!!! He turned out to be "Fred" the owner and even asked his mechanic to come over and evaluate. They figured it out and I passed smog. Taking all 4 of my vehicles here for now on. Lucky to find a great/honest mechanic in NorCal.

#1. Look no further. No pass, no charge, but mine went right on through, so I very happily paid. The other place in town charged me about 80 bucks to give my old Bronco a Gross Polluter label several years ago, so I avoid that other smog place. Kelly closed, so Fast Freddy's is the only game in town. SMOG HERE.

I went in for a synthetic oil change today and was told that even though it's been about a year since my last oil change, I am about 5000 miles early. Of course they'd do the service for me if I wanted... my choice. I appreciate the honesty, and I will continue to choose Fast Freddy's whenever I have the opportunity.

Freddy and his team always treat you right. Went in for an a/c service and got a whole lot more for my money. This extraordinary level of service knowledge and integrity is hard to find these days. Always make sure you give them a call for any of your automotive needs.

These people failed my honda accord smog check for NO REASON litterally all I did was take it to a different smog shop and it passed without doing any work on my car. They did not pinch the line when they smogged my car because there was no mark and they also failed to check my timing belt correctly and failed my smog for 2 different reasons that were totally invalid. I am thankful they refunded me but the guy argued with me about why it failed before giving my money back. Going here was a huge waste of my time as there was nothing wrong with my car in the first place.
