What sets Rex apart is his judgment. He doesn't simply tell you what needs to be repaired - he tells you what needs attention now, what can safely wait, and what may be coming down the road. When a repair isn't yet urgent, he'll let you know that there is more time and help you plan ahead rather than unnecessarily adding to today's costs. And when something truly is imminent, he'll tell you that too. That kind of honest, practical guidance is invaluable.
Rex never makes customers feel pressured into repairs they don't need, and he takes the time to explain what is happening and why. His knowledge, integrity and genuine care for his customers are what have made 16th Street Garage so highly regarded.
If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust to tell you the truth, treat you fairly and look out for your best interests, Rex and the team he leads at 16th Street Garage come with the highest recommendation.”
“Smog Check
I decided to give Ben’s auto repair a chance to win my business. I had been to the shop many years ago when it was managed by someone else. Do you get the feeling that customer service is totally dead? Well, when you go see Ben! Ben cares about the people he does business with. He cares about the community. I felt like he appreciated that I came in and asked questions. Ben explained things to me more than once so I could tell my husband about what was happening with my car. I drive a much older car and I’m getting ready to sell it but I needed to pass my smog. Ben made that happen and had the parts available for my car and explained everything to me so I was able to meet all the requirements to pass smog. I knew I would not pass when I came in. While I was waiting, I have to say that I saw how other customers interacted with Ben and they were telling me how pleased they were to be able to go to someone they could trust and not worry about being up sold on something that they didn’t need to have done and also trust the work to be done.
Some of the cars that were there while I was waiting were much newer cars, and another customer told me she had gotten a price from the dealer and paid for something there and found out later that they didn’t do the work. Ben showed her what was safest for her family. I love someone who is willing to walk through something with you and show you so you feel that trust.
Ben, thank you for taking the time to talk with me and help me understand all about my car. I look forward to doing business again.”
“The gas station has a very small drive-through area. The pumps are very close together. Pretty busy location near the freeway. With a 7eleven store attached. A few parking spaces available.”
“Gas prices are one of the lowest in the area for top tier gas. They also have a lot of new snacks and drinks. They are in the process of building a new convenience store.”
“Long gone are the days of "service" stations; now, we have mere "gas" stations. Nevertheless, this Chevron remains a Service Station.Sean does it all. As I have been walking with a limp, he opens the door for me when there are no customers around. Also, never have I had any problems using my Loyalty Number. All transactions go very smoothly. Sean goes out of his way to make sure I am fully content with each visit. He also knows exactly where all items are in the store. In addition, while I was conversing with Sean, he noticed someone was digging through the trash bin outside (via camera), and immediately went over there to make sure everything was okay. I feel safe and secure at this Chevron.Sean is most certainly friendly, courteous, and totally professional. I am always happy to see the guy whom I consider my friend now.John is a technician at this Chevron. I had a slow leak in one of my tires, and seeing that I was struggling to walk, he actually put in air for me on three different occasions without my having to even ask. In fact, one time, a truck was blocking the air machine, and John used his own tools to put in the proper amount of air.Hao is another technician who goes above and beyond. I had gotten a new set of four tires, but the tire place failed to put in the proper amount of air. Hao took the time to make sure all four tires had the psi as recommended by the manufacturer.I am recommending to my friends and family to get their vehicles serviced here.All these guys work as a team, and this Chevron really works like a well-oiled machine.Have a blessed day, everyone!”
