I came here for an oil change. Overall, a pretty good experience. I was happy with my service. The pricing is pretty average for oil changes. They took about 2 hours, but I think that was because they were busy finishing up other cars because they started on mine.
I have no complaints. Although, I don't know much about cars admittedly. So I can't really speak on the work itself. But the gauge on my car tells me I have enough oil lol So they must have done something right lol I would come back here for another lol change service.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 7Oh no 0Mar 31, 2016Previous reviewThis place was fine. We randomly stopped by this place because it was the closest shop nearby that did oil changes, and they were open early on a Saturday morning. We rolled up and they didn't have any customers. This made us a little skeptical at first, but we talked to the guy at the front desk and he seemed knowledgeable, so we decided to go for it. I needed an oil change for my mini van, and they charged $40 with the online coupon. If you check in with Yelp you get $5 off, just don't forget to show them your coupon after you check-in! The guys were done really quick with the oil change. You can sit inside the shop at the table and chairs inside the garage and watch them work on your vehicle. I don't know much about cars, but it seems like they did a good job. I would probably go back sometime. Although for the price I prolly could have gone anywhere since that's a standard oil change price. Actually Walmart might have been a little cheaper or a mom and pop shop. But there was no problems with coming here. I would recommend if you're in the area and it's convenient.

Southland Automotive is worth way more than 5 stars!
Phenomenal customer service- my calls are always answered and my appointments are booked within just a few days! Elliott is informative about maintenance needed, his prices are fair and affordable and it's so great to see the same face and have personal connection with a company you trust with your vehicle.
Extra credit for a clean waiting room and restrooms and bottles of water while you wait! Nice touch!
Extra extra credit for being understanding when I needed to reschedule last minute and making time to get me in to assure my vehicle maintenance got taken care of and continues to run safely!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Paula A.Stanton, CA02Jan 31, 2024
The worst place to bring your car, I came here to do an alignment and an oil change and they finish all of that in 30 minutes meaning that the alignment was never done and they still charged me for it, they broke one of my lights that I knew was working perfectly fine before I went there drove the car for 4 min I had to go back because it was going to the left when my car never did that and supposedly they did the alignment, when I got there I told him about that and about my light and they were acting dumb just laughing to put the cherry on top when I went to turn on my car to leave it wasn't turning on at all THE WORST PLACE! Save your money and time going somewhere else

Excellent service by a young owner. His mechanics take great care with both domestic and foreign cars. Reasonable prices for all general maintenance and great prices on new tires. We take our Lexus and Mercedes here. Our friends use Southland for their old and new cars as well. High integrity and fair prices. You won't be disappointed.

I absolutely LOVE this place! I was recommended to go here from Napa when my AC unit had stopped working. I had originally gotten my AC in my car replaced a year or so ago back in Utah. Napa had told me that places would charge a diagnostic fee and if there was a fault with the original part then the warranty would cover it. I was pleasantly surprised when the owner called and told me that they would check it out for FREE (which is so rare in a world where mechanics charge an arm and a leg just to tell you what is wrong with your car).
Found out that nothing was wrong with the original part, but the part that broke (the relay?) was super cheap! They ordered the part, had it brought in-store, and fixed my car the same day! They even let me take home my car while I waited. Total cost- I kid you not - $33.00. That's it! The owner was so kind, gave me some advice on my car, and the mechanics were super thorough.
They even let guests pick whichever Netflix show they want to watch while waiting for their car.
I cannot tell you how grateful I am to have found a solid mechanic. 100% my go-to mechanic for any future automotive needs.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Brittney H.Cambodia Town, Long Beach, CA05Jun 21, 2022
I was recommended this place from some good friends of mine.. Eliot is awesome and very honest. They have done my breaks and replaced a tire. At separate times of course...and I haven't had any issues!! Love this place and definitely recommend it to others
