AVOID!!!! UNLESS YOU WANT TO BUY A NEW ENGINE!!!These people are completely incompetent, unprofessional and neglegent! They should be shut down. I usually only go to the dealer, thought it would be safe and quicker to come here for a simple oil change.A mechanic by the name Anselmo assisted me. He was extremely unprofessional.What's worse is HE LEFT THE CAP OFF OF MY ENGINE, SPEWING OIL EVERYWHERE!!!!After two days of driving I noticed smoke coming from my engine and instantly knew it was something that Anselmo had done incorrectly! Sure enough, After pulling over I saw OIL ALL OVER MY ENGINE AND HOOD!!!My engine is running "rougher" now and I am hoping there's no permanent damage.Something as basic as an oil change and they CAN'T EVEN GET THAT right?!!!I hate to think what other vehicles this amateur mechanic has damaged with his neglegence.I am now here stuck and waiting for over an hour to have my car engine cleaned.SAVE TIME AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!(SEE attached PHOTOS)As a side note Julio the manager is awesome if it weren't for him this place probably wouldn't exist.

This is my favorite place to get all my repairs done. They are very knowledgeable about different types of cars. I've been going to them for over 20 years. I never felt cheated by them ever. Great mechanics! Highly recommend.

The guys at this auto place are very down to earth.I've taken my car there for regular oil changes, but recently have had some mechanical work done with the timing belt having been replaced along with ther water pump. More recently, had my breaks done.All I can say is that the work done to my car (2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT) has been excellent. My car runs better and very smoothly.I would easily take my car back for more work and eventually will take it back for some minor things I'd rather not do myself for lack of tools.Their mechanic Julio is a man of his word having given me great value for great work. Very easy to talk with and goes out of his way to make sure that I understand what the car needs and offer suggestions.They cover a variety of services and I will definitely take my business the again.

I have been taking my husband s 2012 Prius and my 2007 Camry for at least 3 years now and have nothing but positive comments for their staff and labor. They are always willing to explain everything in detail of what is wrong with the cars. They offer us options to fix the issues or explain ways to remedy the problem temporarily to ensure we stay within our budgets. Julio is very pleasant to work with. He is up front and explains the details. They are definitely not crooks but just loyal mechanics that my whole family trusts. Highly Recommend them!!

I've been going here for over 10 years, with several cars...Julio is always honest, trustworthy. and the cost is on average or below. I once took my car in for an oil change and something else, but he said I didn't need an oil change because I only drive around town and my oil looks new. He is an amazing communicator, only fixes what is needed but lets you know of services or issues you want to plan for. Thanks Econo Lube and Julio.

I've taken all my cars here for years. They are great with older model cars and keeping them going. Seen them help out a lot of people. I've shopped around the area, they have the best service and prices in the area, stand by the work. Ask for Julio

Crazy expensive, low class brakes star at $90 for old models cars not including labor. When you can buy great brand breaks at autozone any breaks for any car starting $40. Plus being rude to new customers doesn't work. Never going back. I really regret not doing my research before.

I have been on this earth for 58+ years. These guys are far and away the biggest crooks I have ever dealt with. Went there for a brake inspection and they insisted on me paying in cash or debit card upfront. They told me it was $90 for a brake inspection. But after I paid I learned that a brake inspection was only $40. A brake and light inspection or 90. However, I never asked for a light inspection. When I have been on this earth for 58+ years.

However, I never asked for a late inspection. they realized that I have cut them and Ally they proceeded to get upset and refused to refund my money. All I can say is that they are total thieves. I honestly would not recommend them to anyone. This is why people get upset at mechanics and have trouble trusting. It s crooks like of these people that ruined it for all good mechanics.

I come here for Julio. He knows his stuff, and my family and I have trusted him with our cars for over a decade. I don't even live in Los Angeles county anymore, but he has always given remarkable service and has lifetime customers for that reason. We'll keep on coming back for him alone. They cover almost every service you need. I've never had to turn around and go else where.

I am new to Yelp I am new to complaining perhaps from a different generation. But well you decide for yourselves. I have a 93 Ford Thunderbird and older car my choice and it was having issues with brakes for a bit but around the 1st of June a noise that got my attention was coming from the driver from left wheel. I went to Econo Lube N Tune #21 at around 2:00 or so on Saturday June 4th 2016, Order number 01297. After a while I was helped and the car was looked over and yes it had no brakes and rotor issues etc. I asked for the band-aide fix as opposed to the complete repair and agreed. They replaced the front brake pads only. I understood I waived the warranty at the bottom. The Service Manager asked the mechanic to do a test drive and here is the rub I have a Interlock Device in my car and it can be hard to start if you are unfamiliar so I went and started the car and got in the passenger and was ready for a test drive. It was from the stall to the end of the driveway and he got out and that was that. The brakes worked fine. I went home had a nice evening and the next day Sunday I had a meeting of AA in the Valley, I was on the 405 Freeway when I began to hear a noise from the passenger right wheel and I thought well okay its the rotors. I was driving and the noise became lighter and the car began to shake, shimmer not sure best words. I pulled over and I stopped and heard a noise of the cover of the wheel lug nuts coming off. I was able to drive slowly off the shoulder. The Mechanic put on the lock lug nut backwards and I had just two loose lug nuts holding the wheel only. Also, he did the same on the driver side. I have pictures I had a shop take off lug nuts from back wheels and place strategically to hold with three each. Now, I went and asked for my money to be refunded and I said I will just go somewhere else and get other lug nuts. They had to call the main office. A few days later they said the would refund the Labor costs only because I have the pads. You decide if you wish to go there for anything. I am no longer asking for a refund. I could have died but perhaps that is okay since I am an Alcoholic.

Came in for brake and light inspection and they gave me a hard time. The Manager was rude, obnoxious and condescending. First they charged me $90.00, then found another reason, and charged me another $37 dollars additional to do a "visual re- inspection" and when I questioned it, they kicked me out, kept my money and refused to finish the work. Not recommended. Take your business somewhere else.

There whole deal is to find something wrong with your brakes or lights when you do a Brake and Light inspection. Just felt like a scam the minute I started talking to them about what could be wrong with the car before they even looked at it. Stay away.

Very unprofessional and using scary tactic, seems like he wants to fail my smog and brake and light inspection, there's no check engine light on, nor any other light in my 2018 Nissan, but Julio didn't seem legit, he wanted Cash and once u pay cash u r done, stay away from this place.Service: Smog certificationService: Smog certification

They rip you off telling you your car needs stuff it doesn't. If you are going to get the brake & light inspection they will over charge you or else they wont give you the certificate. First time there, never going again.
