The overall service was fine and the staff was polite, but I was extremely disappointed by the extra charge for the cabin/air filter.
I was charged $59.99 to replace the air filter on my Honda CR-V, while the exact same filter costs around $19.99 at any auto parts store. On top of that, the replacement took less than one minute—no exaggeration.
This feels like a huge markup for something very basic and misleading if you’re not careful. My advice to other customers: do NOT agree to any extra services here without asking the price first. The oil change itself was fine, but the add-on charges are not reasonable.
Very disappointing experience despite otherwise decent service.
