SynFast Oil Change

The guys here are always friendly and helpful. They do a great job getting you in and out.

I am never ever one to complain but I still feel extremely unsettled about my experience (s). Brought my car here for an oil change a few years back when I first started driving. Was charged $ 50 and heard the schpeel of all the $ 400+ worth of ‘crucial’ things my car needed to get done. My dad used to work on cars so I had him take a look at all that was ‘wrong’ and he said everything was fine. Hadn’t been back since, but I was on a time crunch today and this place was on the way of the direction I was headed so I figured it had a been a few years, maybe it’s different. Came in, got nice service, told me it would be done ¹⁵⁄₂₀ min, and they’d give me a call soon as they’re done. Not even 5 min in and I get a call saying since I waited so long to get my oil serviced (my due date was 10 days ago) I had build up due to low oil and burning and w/​e so I needed a flush. Didn’t have the money for what would’ve been an almost $ 200 altogether service to spare, even with all the «$ 10 off» coupons he was willing to throw in. When I came back to be cashed out, he let me know it came out to almost $ 100 for a damn oil change for a freaking vw golf?! My parents have newer cars than I do and they barely pay $ 80. I had him try and break it down for me twice, since I’ve been to 2 or 3 other places and never ever been charged more than $ 60 even with using full synthetic and the extra oil needed to be used AND other fees. I’ll take fault for not going with my gut and having him go over the cost and everything beforehand. I hate to be stereotypical and assume they threw in a few extra bucks. but even though I’m a girl and know slim to none when it comes to cars, I do know when I’m being given bs. Especially when you can barely look me in the eye when you’re dishing it out. But thanks for the fast service I guess.

Negative star if I have a choice. Took my car there once, they charged me for synthetic oil. When I returned few thousand miles later. They told me that my oil was dirty, needs an engine flush and blah blah blah due to «wrongfully» put in not synthetic oil as recommended by manufacture. Then I questioned, you guys did my oil changed last time. They went silence then tried to sell me synthetic on my car again. I was dumb enough to take both my cars in for oil change. But left with a 140 usd normal oil change bill. People, there are plenty places on Miramar road with 20 usd oil changes. Don’t go there. I will never go back. Often, I let bad experience slide, this place is shady. Don’t GO!!!

SynFast always provides fast oil changes with great services. The guys are friendly and professional and always courteous! A regular spot for us! Thanks!

Fast and Cheap. I got my oil changed here and I was in and out. Great location because there are places to shop and eat around this place

Shady oil change location. I originally brought my truck here in March. My oil change was 79.00 for full synthetic plus an extra quart because of the size of the engine. It seemed OK so I returned today with my girlfriends V-​6 Camaro. I asked for full synthetic and I was told it would be 99.00 dollars and he would give me 10 dollars off. I asked why it was 20.00 more than a few weeks ago and I was told that their prices haven’t changed in years. (I still have the receipt for my truck) But whatever, I don’t feel like driving around looking for another place. Then the guy brings me a paper to sign saying it was going to be 109.00 dollars with the 10 dollars off! I said «No I will go somewhere else» to which he replied «we already started draining the oil». Well I guess you got me now! At this point I am starting to feel taken advantage of but this isn’t even the worst part! Tommy (the manager) walks into the waiting room and tells me «hay man, your oil is really dirty and the car has 72 000 miles on it so it is due for an full oil system cleaning». (This is the point when I went from feeling taken advantage of to pissed off) I tell him «this is the cars first oil change and the car only has 10 000 miles on it»! The guy that checked me in had wrote the wrong milage on my paperwork and he thought he would make a few quick bucks off of me by telling me my oil was dirty. He then began to backtrack and say that he was talking about another car. But why did he tell me MY oil was dirty if he was talking about the other car 2 bays down? Con artist, that’s why!
Oil change change places are a dime a dozen. Don’t put yourself thorough the stress and frustration of using this place.

The guys here are awesome, super friendly and professional. Got the job done in 15 mins! My go to place for an oil change :)

This place is a scam. Don’t take your car here. I usually put regular 10w40 in my car since it’s a thicker viscosity oil burns slow compare to 5w30. I had a Freind take the vehicle in and normally I pay 20 for a oil change. This place told my Freidn I normally pay 80. They are thieves !

I always change my oil myself because it’s easy and I save a lot of money. How much? Well, about $ 50 per oil change apparently. My truck takes 7 quarts of oil, so I had to pay for extra oil, then disposal fees of oil and filter — so that the total cost for an oil change was $ 75.
I’m from «outta town» — so I’m having them do the oil change; but it’s nice to experience that bite to remind myself why I’m doing my own oil changes.

Stopped in and was helped immediately. Oil Changed in less than 10 minutes. Grabbed a bite to eat next door and car was done. I would return.

Fast and friendly service. Woody was able to help me out with a better discount than the Unilocal one. Definitely would recommend coming here for a quick oil maintenance

Classic bait and switch. 19.99 is for the ‘cheap’ oil. They try to upgrade you as high as 50 bucks. First and last time I’ll be here.

Way over charge for an oil change. They charge a higher rate just because you have high miles. Don’t get fool by the advertise rate. Definitely not going here again.

This was my second time coming here and it was just as awesome as the first time! I meant to post a review after my first experience here — the tech that helped me was extremely friendly and helpful and deserved recognition. I forgot his name though.
My second time here is just as awesome! I was quickly greeted and my car pulled in, the tech reviewed over their last recommendations with me which I really appreciate the follow up. A lot of other places don’t care to ask or remind you and I like that this place does! I found out today that they can rotate your tires which is awesome since I’ve been meaning to do that! And! During my tire rotation they found that there was a nail in my tire! THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! I will Definitely be coming back!!! The technicians (and manager) are very friendly, helpful and provide quick and excellent service. Highly recommend this place!

The only reason this review deserves even ONE star is for the almost-​speedy service. For places that specialize in oilchanges, it is on the slower spectrum. But a full auto shop that also does oil chances can have multiple waiting hours or pre planned appointments. That being said, what IS a huge pro is being able to get a walk in done job fairly fast– especially in comparison to non oil changing specialists. What little good is given to you via that is completely forgotten about hours if not minutes or seconds later: is a job done poorly (or not at all). This location constantly tries selling you things you do NOT need, and loves to charge extra for things you do. Beyond that, they love to make it seem mandatory that you get work done on your car that any online verification, reading of the owners manual, or checking another location (preferably a different company) will prove false.
Disrespected blatantly by the staff is a sure way to make sure I will never return. I have tried other locations, and though some what better, they just seem shady in general. Poor business practice.
I tried this particular location twice– much to my own folly– hoping it would be a different experience.
Intentionally misleading advertisement as well as price gouging is just unacceptable in our American culture. As this was the first car service place I experienced after returning from a 3 year world tour, I definitely had a bad impression of California in general due to my experience here. Luckily, other quick oil change places have made me realize that just because ONE company doesn’t have it right, doesn’t mean there aren’t others that do!
Biggest con: prices. They say it’s one price, and if you argue you can get «discounts.» But it’s really just them tacking on a larger tip. Also, they like to pretend you need services prematurely. I had actually gone in to get an oil change and get my filters replaced, but ended up returning to a different location in less than two thousand miles or so. They had told me it seemed like no work had previously been done.

Very professional, clean and fast, didn’t have my $ 20 coupon with me, they took $ 10 off my bill, that was very nice. I definitely will use this place again.

Tommy was good, helped me out as soon as I pulled in, direct to the point, gave me some helpful feedback regarding the condition of the oil — definitely won’t go back to the previous place I took it too… got the full synthetic which cost around 80 $ wish it would’ve been better deal but that’s comparable to most full synthetic oil services I’ve had in the past and cheaper than acura dealership
Willing to come back here in the future since it’s just around the corner from where we live and has convenient hours
Got car back, good service, even getting a rebate for the full synthetic… definitely be back

Great how they are open till 6 on Saturdays!
Great fast service.
Aaron took great care of me.

My oil maintenance light come up last night, so I drop by SynFast Oil Change during my short lunch break. Everything is fast and hassle free, only took less than 20 minute to from start to finish. Overall my experience here is very positive and would continue to come back in the future!

False advertising practices. There is a sign that says 19.99 oil change. Before you pull up, they talk to you about the oil change options. So there is actually 3 (maybe 4) options for oil changes. The guy recommended the middle one, which is synthetic oil. I said no, I want the «value» one. I asked how much the synthetic was, and he said like forty something. Decided I didn’t want that at the moment because money is tight.
So they finish their oil change, and wow. The bill came out to almost $ 50. Excuse me? I asked them why and why that the option I chose (the cheapest option) was not their advertised $ 19.99 option. Some BS answer.
So just be aware that they trick you with their options. I should have made sure before they did anything that I knew exactly how much they charge. Because the lowest, «value» option that they showed me was not their advertised lowest price option.
I’ve gotten better oil changes with SYNTHETIC oil for cheaper than what they charged.
Despicable business.
