Do not get any mechanical work done by this place! They will change something that is absolutely not the problem an charge you 150$ a not even tell you what’s actually wrong with your vehicle. An if you do want to know what’s wrong with it then you have to pay 110$ just to find out an they already know what’s wrong but want to charge you to find out. The guys a scam I feel bad for his employees definitely wouldn’t want to work for a person who rips people off. I know it’s not his fault an all mine but I gave this guy my last 140$ thinking my car was going to at least run so I can get to work, shame on me for trusting Kevin ?♂️! This was on 2/15/24. Please don’t go to this guy save your money!

I have been coming to Econo Lube in Imperial Beach for over 10 years. I know nothing about mechanical work needed on cars. Every-time I come here I feel confident with the Owner Kevin’s honesty that he will only tell me if something is needed if he knows I must change it. The Employees are fast and efficient. I had oils changes, brakes done, air filters. I have always been impressed with the work. My oil light recently went on and I called Econo Lube and spoke with the Owner Kevin. He said hurry bring it in. I did, he checked my car and told me you need to go to the dealer as it is still in warranty as soon as possible. There is a known issue and they will put your car though a process for a new engine. I did what he said. The dealer then asked for all this paperwork to approve the new engine. I went back to Kevin and within 5 minutes he had all the documents printed and organized of oil changes for the dealer to approve a new engine. I submitted everything to the dealer and received a new engine. He saved me soo much money. Anytime I hear stories of friends and mechanics, I am quick to recommend this place.

Every time I come here for my oil change, I get seen right away and my car is done in 15 minutes (usually less !!) Everyone there is super professional and friendly, and their speed is unmatched!

Excellent Service. My car didn't pass smog, so I brought it here to fix the repairs. The front desk employee said two hours, and it was completed in 30 minutes. After the repair my car passed smog.

PUBLIC AWARENESS WARNING SCAM NOTICEI went in on 5/14/2023 I said I needed a diagnostic scan as ORielys scan threw code OP300. Kevin said 109 dollars but free with repairs,I agreed signed agreement.Upon moving my 2004 Xterra into the bay I noticed coolant leaking Kevin showed me where the leak was said he had to order the part from Nissian on Monday and said I couldn't drive it so my Xterra sat sat night until Monday. Kevin said he would call me Monday at 9am to let me know the cost. I called him 10am Monday and he told me he still hasn't contacted Nissian but as soon as he did he would call me. It was 4pm Monday night when he called I was told the heater hose was 58 dollars but the labor to install it was 600 dollars because his guy had to get under and remove so much things to get to the leak yet when he showed me where the leak was it's right up top . And upon inspection he noticed the bolts on the head were a loos and his guy again had to go underneath to tighten all the bolt and that was another 400 for labor. And he proceeded to tell me I needed a transmission that his guy was taking it for a test drive and immediately called him and said there was something wrong with the transmission he told him to return to the shop.I said there's nothing wrong with the transmission that I drive it daily and I wouldn't be needing a transmission upon picking up my Xterra he said he found a transmission for 2500 dollars again I said I don't need one he got angry and said he replaced my distributor cap and I now owed 1080 dollars I said I had no more money he threw the box he was holding at my feet and said I guess u get it for free. Your trucks ready then. As I pulled out of the driveway onto 13 TH I immediately noticed I had no gears in my transmission I barely made it home using my emergency lights the whole way. I firmly believe that they did something to my Xterra thinking ide immediately turn back and let him fix my transmission . When I got home I called him for the results of the diagnostic scan that I paid for I wanted a printout he refused to give it to me knowing there would be no mention of any transmission problem. This man is a thief and a lier Women beware he will try anything to take advantage of you. I have reported him to Automotive Bureau and The BBB as well as corporate next I'm serving him with court paper asking for actual cost as well as Punitive Damages to teach him a lesson ..

I've had my cars worked on here for a number of year, always a great experience. Kevin, the owner I believe, has always been friendly and courteous. I am not bashful about leaving a review that is negative if the service is below standards. Getting an oil change today, less than 20 minutes. Time is important to me, stoked to be in and out. I am happy to give them 5 stars and will be back again.

They tried to rip us off since we were from out of state. Went in for a oil change. My husband noticed that they were touching out battery but didn't think anything of it. Then after they moved our car to rotate the tires, came back and said that they had jump start our car and would cost $200 to replace. We said no and we are now back in Iowa after an almost 2 month trip without any issues. I know my battery was disconnected because I had no radio until it was recharged back to normal. Contacted jiffy lube customer service and since they are individually owned. They forwarded our situation and we have never heard from them after 2 weeks. BEWARE.

I was assisted by a sweet man named Kevin. My car is a 2021 VW Jetta, and I desperately needed oil. This was the shop that didn't require an appointment or have a long wait time. Within 30 minutes he changed my oil, and even let me know he checked my tire pressure because he noticed my check tire light was on! He put air and explained to me if it didn't turn off I should come back for a tire change. As a young woman I get intimidated to do my own car maintenances as I don't know anything about cars or what they need. I don't want to get charged extra or swindled. But, Kevin answered questions about the other services he offers. This is a 100/10 for me, I will be coming only here for my servicing! Thank you again Kevin
