Econo Lube ‘n Tune

Unilocal challenge 2016
Happily accepted our vehicle 15 minutes before closing for a simple oil change. Unlike the dude up the street who told us no can do. Service was super friendly. We were welcomed the minute we arrived until the minute we left. Rested comfortably in their lounge.
We were in and out in about 15 minutes. Paid our tab, about $ 30.00 and our car was brought out and off we went before 6:00pm.
Zoom zoom. Easy access onto Beach Blvd.
Thanks guys.

Shawn is AWESOME! Been going there for years. I got another car and he remembered who I was. You don’t get that these days. Feel like just another face, but he remembers and is honest! They’re quick and efficient! Highly recommend !!

I have been coming here religiously (every 3,000 miles) for 18 years. They are quick, reasonably priced and honest. I am always pleased with their service and work. I truly believe my cars have remained in good condition because of Econo Lube and Tune. I high recommend them. I have had them work on my brakes and A.C. — they were a fraction of the cost of anywhere else and get the work done quickly. I just took my car in for an Oil Lube and Filter today and mentioned my blinker was out. They replaced he blinker light of free! Customer Service is top notch — workmanship is excellent.

I’ve been coming here since I moved to Huntington Beach and they always take great care of me! They’re fast, courteous and friendly. I would recommend them to anyone.

I have been using this shop to take care of my cars for 20 years and highly recommend them. I have found them to be fast, knowledgable, and most importantly, honest in all of my dealings with them. If work is needed, they will let you know and tell you if it is something that needs to be done right away or if it can be safely put off until later. Recently I had an issue with one of my cars that took several visits to solve. It was frustrating for me since I had to bring the car back a few times but sometimes that’s what it takes with cars that are controlled primarily by electronic sensors and computers. Bottom line, I was satisfied with the work that was done and what I had to pay for the work. They treat the customer right and make you feel like you got good value for your money. Thanks!!!

These guys are so fantastic! Easy to work with, quick to quote and fantastic results! We continue to drive from Laguna Beach to get work from them done, definitely recommend these guys, Sean in particular!

Great service always. Fair prices and honest folks. Huge plus that it’s close to house and it’s local businesses.

Super quick. Went in on a Saturday late am and had at least two cars a head of me. I asked how long it’d be and he told me 30 minutes. Took a 20 minute walk around the block, came back and waited for no more than 10 minutes. Also the guy who rang me up was very friendly, and the oil change itself was affordable! So many places I go, especially being a female, the guys try and upsell me on anything and everything, but here they were straightforward, did exactly what I asked for and didn’t try and push me to get anything else out of me. Honest guys, will definitely be back!

This is the only place I go to get the oil changed for all of my cars. My husband, Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister-​in-​law… we all use them. Their service is quick and easy. I bring my headphones, go sit in the sun, relax and less then 10 mins later I’m on the raod again! Best price too.

These guys are really friendly and Honest I have brought my son’s truck here a few times and every time very Happy. Thanks so much for your hard work and kindness, it is appreciated

The negative reviews on this place obviously come from naturally negative people that will never be satisfied with anything. I will never take my car to another mechanic. Shawn takes great care of me and my vehicle. I can take my car in, get a diagnosis within the hour and be out with a fixed car in 3, every time. He’s honest and a nice guy as well as his mechanics. I was referred to him by a long time happy customer and have referred many people to him and they have been just as satisfied.

Shawn was great. My truck was running extremely rough and he managed to get it done within the day… runs like a charm! :)

Shawn and his employees are all very nice and really take the time to go over your vehicle to make sure everything is running properly & safe. I have had my SUV here a few times for service and have been happy with the results. We take our vehicles here for oil changes every 3,000 miles. I recommend this shop to all my friends and I have never heard one complaint. My friend took her car to Honda dealership and they wanted a few hundred dollars more for the same repair that she got done here much cheaper. Shawn is super honest with his quotes. They really are «the good guys»

My husband and I have been coming here for about four years now, they recognize us and are very welcoming it’s always quick, and friendly. On several occasions I have needed some serious work on my car and they are great at working with my budget telling me what needs to be done now and what can wait for a few more months (I have an older vehicle). They are up front on cost and give pretty exact estimates.

I should have read the reviews before coming here. Big mistake.
I asked Shawn to fix the constant squeaking noise my car was making. They test drove my car, told me it was the brakes. Trusting the mechanics diagnosis, I paid $ 500 to get my brakes fixed. He assured me that the squeaking would be 95% gone. Upon picking up my car, the squeaking was still happening, the exact same as it was before I paid $ 500. So as a frustrated customer, I went back the same day and needed some clarification. Shawn was trying to explain how my brakes were horrible and needed to be replaced and he was doing me a favor because it was a safety issue. Umm, thanks?
All I wanted was the squeaking gone. I could have fixed the brakes next time. He then said it’s normally $ 200 to fix the actual squeaking issue. Oh that’s nice info AFTER THE FACT!
To remedy this mis-​diagnosis on his part, he says he’ll «cut me a break» and only charge me another $ 100 to fix the actual squeaking noise (the only reason I came there in the first place). So, he wants me to pay $ 600 to fix squeaking that should have only cost me $ 200!!!
How about you be a man of your word and integrity and fix the squeak that you should have fixed $ 500 dollars ago. Horrible attitude this man has. Doesn’t listen and has no idea about customer service.
Never. Again.

Paid 30 $ to get an oil change which is already a rip off, only to find out when i got home that they broke my handle off on the interior drivers door! Then the following day my check engine light comes on. Nodody said a thing or copped up to breaking, just played stupid as apparent in in 90% of their staff. 30 $ oil change turned into 10 times the amount!

I would give this place negative stars if I could, DO NOT TAKE YOU VEHICLE HERE!!! The only thing these Idiots are good at is standing around. The manager thinks he’s hot stuff, and is full of attitude, I should’ve open hand palm slapped a b*tch manager for being so disrespectful… You don’t know Sh*t homeboy, think you’re all bad*ss? you’ll never amount to anything besides picking your nose behind the counter of an auto repair shop!
DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE PEOPLE!!! They truly do not give a f*ck about the customers.

I’m appalled by some of the not so nice reviews here. I love coming here. I’m always in and out within 30 minutes and Shawn is always super friendly and chatty… just busy!

The manager is got to be the worst person to deal with. And it reflects because the workers have the same attitude.

Dealership told me my car needed 5,000 worth of work — this place did it for under $ 1,000 — honest no bul –thankkk ya econo!
explained what honda told me I needed done to my car over the phone and mike told me he was pretty certain they could do all that for around $ 1,000… so I brought it in. Mike called and told me everything I needed I gave him the OK and I picked my car up the next day with my bill totaling less than $ 1,000. Got a new timing belt, water-​pump & some other needed repairs.
mike was super friendly, efficient and honest… he also has the same name as my dad who owns an auto-​body back east sooo felt right at home!
I would recommend anyone to go here and will never go to the honda dealership again.
