I love these guys. It s so hard to find an honest, humble & kind mechanic, or even person these days. Super badass old school vibe. Fast, no b.s. Didn t treat me like a woman, treated me like a person. I m so tired of all the appointments up here. I love that it s first come first serve. The early bird gets the worm.

This is the ONLY place to go for front-end work! These guys are fair,and know what they're doing! Not a bunch of guys fresh out of trade school making minimum wage. At a big store. Fyi, first come, first serve. Oh, and they are also about business and no b.s. They are busy and straight to the point. Don't be offended if you don't get good morning from them. If you need a friend and some b.s. blown your way find another place. If you want it done right,and at a fair price. This is the place!

We've been going here off and on for over 40 years, it's one of the last original shops left in YV. Never had a bad experience, and always treated fairly. Highly recommended for alignment, brakes, and other front end issues.

Great customer service , but I had to return to the shop to have my alignment redone because it was done incorrectly the first time. To their credit , they gave me a discount and redid the service for free

I'm son and nephew of the owners but I've had customers tell me they are reasonably priced and fair. They don't charge you for something you don't need.

Local excellent family owned Car Repair totally honest old fashion the way it used to be. Not a giant monster Corporation very reasonable prices with very talented mechanics. I get my car Wheels sligned buy a perfectionist for half the price I paid these big box tire stores for.. no such thing as a lifetime wheel alignment big gimmick. Give these guys your business

I compared their alignments to another dedicated shop in Riverside California that only does alignments and suspension and these guys' old equipment is waaaay off. You get what you pay for, be careful. Also, they don't take appointments and they have no idea what's going on day-to-day, you just show up and hope for the best.They use equipment from the '70s, Buyer Beware

Not professional establishment. I went in for a wheel alignment and they refused to work in my vehicle. They stated it would take 30min to 45min to complete and they had more than enough time before closing and he didn t even look at me when addressing the issue. The enthusiasm and character was so unprofessional. Definitely won t be going here again as they do not deserve my money. Found a better alignment shop :) too.

Called them. How much for me to bring my own bilstein shocks in and take my coils off and put on mynew shocks. He says your going to carry in your shocks? I sayyes. He says $20 a shock. Im thinking wow thats cheap. Drive down there. The guy i talked to on the phone was at lunch. The owners son acted like I was bothering him. By telling him what I wanted. When will he be back from lunch? He just left. Ooo k. I'm supposed to know how long he gets for lunch? Well, he will be back in1/2 hour....Probably.Comebacknext day. They have my truck for 2 hours. I get a call. It's done. I get there. OK That'll be $200! Wait. I called he said $20 per shock. That's $40. Oh there was a miscommunication. I paid the $200. Told them what I thought and will never go there again. Enjoy your extra $160. Thats all you'll ever get from me.

This guy is way modest. He s a master. I drive the most ridiculously modified car that no one s been able to align. After taking it to Ole s, it drives straighter than CalTrans can draw the road lines.

Only place in town that could do my f250 SD long bed. So that's cool. Called them get an alignment but they close at noon today. Sure would be cool if they updated their google page.Service: Wheel alignmentService: Wheel alignment

Ole's alignment is my go to shop for suspension and brakes needs. Very reasonably priced and they will get the job done. They might be a little old school, but that's what is best about them. They get it right, old or new. They even straightened a utility trailer axle when I was told by several places it couldn't be done. Also, You can take your own parts and they will work with you. They are closed Friday and weekends but it's worth the time to schedule for mon- Thursday work. You can even drop car off night before, they will work with you :)

I was recommended to try Ole's for some brake parts installation. If I could give ZERO stars I would. They're closed more days of the week than they're open, so good luck getting them on the phone. When I finally did, I was told "Come down at 8:30, we can get you in." I said "How is 9am?" "Fine." $30 in gas later and when I get there all old boy can tell me is "Ohhh, uhhh, I dunno, later. Maybe this afternoon." Walked away shrugging. So I called Arvizu's and made an appointment, with a specific time. SKIP this place, total garbage.

This will always be a "mile marker" thru Yucca Valley. I've taken all my vehicles for many moons now to "the place with the car" dangling from the front of the building. They have always been the most honest, kind and affordable in town. Very efficient as well. I haven't seen their garage door open lately and it makes me sad to think that they have closed shop. Thank you Olies for over 20+ years of my safety on the road. My brakes and alignments were always top notch cause of you!

On a trip to Houston from SF. Thursday I thought something was wrong with my brakes because of a new noise. Just happened to be in Yucca taking the scenic route. Saw Ole's and pulled in. He checked my brakes, found nothing, but found a screw in my tire and that there was some play in the wheel. Told me it was the bearings going bad. Advised me to buy the part and get it fixed before traveling more. Ole did not charge me anything for the brake check and he didn't tell me I needed new brakes when I didn't. He suggested another tire shop to remove the screw and patch the tire. See AA Tire & Muffler. See my review. They told me the same thing about the bearings. It was too late to get work done, but I bought the part. Checked with another place at 7:00 the next morning. Told me it would be around 1:00 and cost me $240 for labor because of rust on the undercarriage. Came back to Ole's at 8:00. He fixed it in under an hour and charged me $60. This got us back on the road to Houston without too much lost time. If we had waited until Monday, we would have needed to turn around and head back to SF. I would use Ole's anytime I could if I was in the area. May have him do some more work when we go back through the area. Thanks Ole.

There's a way to tell if an auto shop is honest. Visit the dealer and take their list of services they say are necessary along with their pricing and tell the mechanic what the dealer said. If they agree with the dealer, you have a dishonest mechanic or the rare experience of a dealership not pushing unnecessary services. I did just that at this place and they talked me out of what I already knew were unnecessary services and gave me a great price on what I did need.

Very knowledgeable mechanics, old school like me. They showed me the exact problem why they couldn't continue with an alignment. A brand new rod end bought at AutoZone was seriously bad. They suggested buying only MOOG front end products and after ordering one online and comparing, I will now buy nothing else but them. Took the van back and they did an alignment to my satisfaction.

Ole's changed my brake pads last week and performed the work fast-No muss, no fuss! I had called several other spots in the area who quoted me twice the cost and said the work would take 2-4 hours. The fellas had me in and out in a half hour at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon. I will be back for my next servicing.

USUALLY I tell everyone that this place is the best in town and the best price with educated people for Alignments but they are no longer taking appointments so now for two different vehicles in the past two months I've had to go somewhere else because they keep telling me next day and then the next day it's hours before getting in. They need to go back to taking appointments....their alignments used to be quick and painless... Idk what's happening over there...

Went their for front end work on my car. Was given a quote and when it was finished I paid a lot less than the amount that I was quoted. Very honest, friendly and efficient.

They told me I could bring my parts in then when I showed up was told to "take my stuff ouside" while they proceeded to harass my children on if they were vaccinated. I left to do business elsewhere beyond rude
