“Cannot say enough good things about this place and the people who work here! I originally called another shop in the area when I needed help with my car and the person I spoke to was a bit rude/abrasive, prompting me to call Montclair auto shop instead and I’m so glad I did. This team went above and beyond to help me- even so much as going out of their way to meet me where my car was broken down SAME DAY, ordered the part, and got my car back up and running as good as new within hours. Very fair price, extremely kind and generous people who help made a stressful day so much easier. Haven’t been able to stop telling everyone local I know about how great my experience was here!”

“I’m always on the hunt for a stable or go2 type of place for all of My adventures. Be it a restaurant, store, or in this case an alignment shop. To say that I was skeptical would be an understatement after all when you see the location from the street all that’s visible is a gas station. However, a family friend of My ladies highly recommended this shop for their service, prices and especially their ability to properly align almost any vehicle and that is what I needed to hear so I gave it a shot. I had already taken it upon Myself to completely replace all of the suspension parts on a late model Hyundai Elantra and the finishing touches were to mount the tires on the vehicle and to complete a 4wheel alignment. The vehicle was dropped off in the morning and was ready by mid afternoon. Although I wasn’t able to pickup the vehicle during normal service hours or speak to the mechanic, I was surprised to be able to pick up the vehicle at anytime since the cashier is present 24hours a day. When I collected the vehicle I was instantly hooked. The vehicle was left clean and secured and when I drove it, the ride home was better than I expected! I still haven’t spoken to the mechanics about their work and how appreciative I am but I can only assume that Me taking another vehicle to them tomorrow should be complimentary in and of itself. A good place for service and an even better place for a vehicle alignment. Just be sure to drive very slow as you get to the address or you will be making u-turns forever trying to find it.”

“The manager is so nice! We need more gas station owners like him. My car had two blow out tires and I drifted to his gas station and he came out to ask if I needed anything and if I was OK. I showed him and I said sir it's getting dark ,triple A is lost and I cant get ahold of any of my family so please may I safely wait here. He said absolutely 💯 and let me know if you need anything but im glad you're not having a medical issue or emergency. He said many come there park and pass out. So take your time! I thanked him after waiting for triple A for two hours! He even let me used the bathroom facility. It very safe ladies if you're ever in Oakland and have to pull off the freeway in Montclair district or area. I highly recommend 👌”

“I started taking my car here about 15 years ago. Now my adult children and even my ex husband all take their cars here because I rave about this place. Toan’s motto is “do good work and don’t cheat people” They’ve more than lived up to that motto. Toan always finds the most cost effective solution, e.g. a rebuilt transmission, and when an old lemon of a car was on it’s last legs, Toan told me not to spend anymore money repairing it. It “died” a month later. We were taking my son’s VW to a “specialist” in VW’s every month to fix the same issue. When we took it to Toan, we never had that issue again”

Oh and we do not speak English here...delimas of the first world....”

“Very Good prices on gas...Prices pretty good for a Convenient store...On food and drinks. There's coffee and a cap machine but not fancy... Lots of different snacks. Huge variety of noodles and single serve cereal bowls. The coolers are stocked with almost every brand of energy drink there is, with lots of variety in flavor. And there is a microwave and hot water. There are lots of car supplies such as oil, transmission fluid, fix-a-flat. Gas cans, jumper cables, etc. they even have pet food for doggo and kitty.

“Great been coming to there gas station for years and even thought the names have changed I've always experienced 5 star service as far as cleanliness, great service at the checkout and the neighbors are not attacking me as I walk to and fro . There are some other great markets surrounding that service and restaurants ,BBQ and just a normal price place .yes it is the only place that is available on this end of 98th . Close to the freeway. Looks like a normal place to me .and the folks around are still alive . Now that's when I say that's great idea of a place to go to buy a soda or something else.”

“Cheaper gas prices here! However, try not to come during early AM's, can be a little scary out there. The first time I pulled up to a pump, the gas was for big rig trucks. I almost decided to leave until I took a peek at another pump, yes, it was my kind of gas. You may think you pulled into the wrong gas station, you didn't, just a different kind of gas is also available.”
