The Lube Center

I ended up taking it to a local repair shop. They said the problem was that I let the oil go out. I din't have it changed. Something was broken because I didn't have oil. Apparently it's a common problem with that car. Some of the electrical stuff was messing up, too. Another common problem with that car. So, I go there because its convenient, but the price is outrageous. $65 for an oil change when normally it's $25. They do a 21-point inspection, but it shouldn't cost more than $25. I wouldn't recommend people go there. I go there because it's convenient, to get it over with, but I don't recommend them. Oil costs like $5 for a quart, it's $10 for a filter. Why am I paying $65 for that? I'd go to the dealer if I wanted my car inspected. You could get a little pan and a ratchet set and you could do that yourself. $5 for a quart of oil, $10 for a filter. I guess the hard part is the hazardous disposal fee because they can't dump it in the grass. They have to dispose of it. It can be taken to the recycling center. They take hazardous material. Here, they have a take-it-free, I think once in May and again in November. Otherwise they charge you, for that, and batteries and mercury, and stuff like that. I believe in DIY. But, it's not easy. You can't do everything. Getting all the stuff done. I just don't have the time. So I look for deals, Try to find a handyman. I've called a handyman a couple of times. But there are things I don't do. I don't mess with plumbing and I don't' mess with electric. I don't plan on burning the house down and I don't plan on flooding the place. The Lube Center does excellent service. They give good information. They change the oil. They make you comfortable. They give you coffee or whatever. They clean the car. You can wait in a waiting room. They have excellent service. But, it's not cheap. And I don't want to pay $65 for it. They try to make me feel good about writing that $65 check, but they can forget about it. I don't like it.

It is a drive thru service and they will give you coffee/ water while they change your oil and service your automobile while you sit in your car. I am very pleased with their service and they are very friendly and do not try to upsell you on things your car does not need. They also have very fair prices and are up front and honest. I have over 100,000 miles on my car and they checked my car out and stated that it was fine and didn't need anything other than oil change and basic winter maintenance. I would highly recommend their services to others and I have been going to them for about a year now and will continue to use them in the future.

Went in for routine oil change and to top fluids and have them do 15 point check. Jesus, the Service Tech, recommended 2 new belts because of ware. (Car is 12 yrs old with 150,000 miles) . Mike the manager came over to explained need for safety and future expense if belts snap/break/fray while car in use when I asked for more details and cost estimate. They worked with my budget and where able to combine and except 2 coupons along with rewards program to allow me to afford the repairs. I did not feel any pressure to have the work done and everyone was knowledgeable and took time to explain details and show me the old parts that were replaced while doing the repairs.

They are great and I highly recommend them. They are fantastic; they are very helpful, they give the price up front, they call and consult with me and they are just excellent.
