Don't use @Fast coastal Lube you get there an hour before they close and they said they can't help you because there's eight cars ahead of you and there's only two waiting and one up on the rack I even called earlier and they said as long as I was there before 4:30 and when I get here, she said if you talk to a man, don't listen to what they say And I'm a regular I come monthly read more

We are from out of town and drove to the OBX for the weekend. While we were driving our skid plate came loose so we pulled in to fix it. They offered speedy service and were very friendly. Highly recommended this place! read more

My car is still leaking oil after taking it here. Be careful taking your car here because they assume no responsibility for their work. read more

Had a flat, not repairable. Went to Coastal Fast Lube to buy 2 new Michelin tires to replace a pair since current directional tires had 30K. Requested to install 2 new tires on front and rotate the best 2 of the 3 remaining directional tires to rear. Well, most worn tire ended up on rear, and both directional tires were installed BACKWARDS. When I went to rotate the rears to the proper rotation, the lugs were on so tight that I had to stand on the spanner wrench to loosen. There's no way my wife would've been able to change a tire on her own and no reason to jackhammer on lugs this tight. Can't recommend for these reasons. read more

Last year I went to get two rear tires put on and my truck inspected at coastal tune and lube. The price went from $25 a wheel to 50 a wheel on the left rear they broke one of the studs grinded it down flat and didn't tell me about it later when had to have the tire patch for nail I found out the stud was missing never was told about it. Now we come to this year I noticed that the rear right side was acting funny it tore up the brake pad and the caliper, when I took the wheel off it was missing two lug nuts side by side that coastal had left off and I think the vibration caused the caliper and the tire to wear out. So because of this I had to put $450 to replace my rear calipers and my brakes and my rotors only a year later after they did this great service work. Never again coastal tune and lube. Your business used to be really good now it's just expensive and half ass read more

just a tip for the future, it would be helpful if you serviced vehicles in the order that they arrived and not just by who you see in the waiting room. I dropped off my car for an oil change right as they opened at 8, was quoted a 2 hour wait, and ended up sitting at the coffee shop next door until 1:30pm. almost SIX hours later, they apologized for the wait and were flustered saying that they didn't realize I'd been waiting next door the whole time. (even though I called to check the progress several times) I understand it was a busier day for them than usual, but 6 hours for an oil change when there were maybe 8 cars ahead of me is ridiculous. read more

Got an oil change. Been going there religiously for many many years. Went lately for oil change. Came home. Oil low light came on. Checked oil..not one drop on stick. Called. Very apologetic. Towed vehicle to place. Of course they denied it was their fault. Claimed I had a leaking part. (Shaking my head, must have been an awfully large leak because where did a fresh 5 quarts of synthetic oil go?) Silly me. Oh, btw..my car was perfectly fine before going there that morning. Not one drop of oil on driveway where vehicles is parked everyday. Cannot fix had to take somewhere else. Ok. Then charged me over $100 for the tow. Pissed. I take my car to next mechanic. He says he cannot find a leak and it must be internal which he doesn't work on..ok. I then take it, (mind you it's holding the oil that we put in this whole time a week later) to my buddies shop. He put it on the lift. Inspected the whole underneath. He inspected what Coastal had said was leaking. NOPE, NO LEAKING. NO VISIBLE OIL!!! I am so pissed. Car runs fine. Funny thing is this is the third car this week that I have run into that says Coastal told them the same thing..down to the same part that was leaking.. that's just crazy. What are the f'n odds??? I'm going to play the Lotto this week!! I was told by my other mechanic that this has been a reoccurring problem lately for them and he's had many clients with no oil leaving that place. One engine blew up coming across the bridge leaving there with no oil. I loved that place but after the bs run around and the lies and the not taking responsibility has left a sour taste in my mouth. Not telling you not to go there but I would definitely check your oil after being serviced. The conclusion from 3 different local mechanics that have had to deal with many of their f ups lately..they're rolling them in and out too fast. They're forgetting to tighten the drain or the filter or hell putting the oil back in. Who knows. All I know is I'm going anywhere but there. read more

Out of town and flat tire is never a good combination. They took us right in despite being just before they closed. First tried to figure out the cheapest/easiest fix for us and when nothing could be done ( downside of run flat tires) they quickly pivoted to finding and obtaining us a new set of run flats in a timely manner. They also gave us a lot of different options at varying price points. Thankful to have such considerate and caring professionals. read more

This place was able to get us in when we had issues with our rental car. Knowledgeable mechanics, fast work. Popular place as we did have to wait in line. Well worth it in the end to have car fixed. Reasonable rates read more

Best buisness practices. HONESTY INTEGRITY I will return for future service. read more

We are from out of town and this is our 3 visit to this business. First time we were headed home the next morning and the owner knew we needed help be the drive home she made room for us to be serviced. That sold me and I will never use another place. I highly recommend this business! read more

Great helpful staff and top notch service. I was visiting from out of town and oil light came on. They were very busy on a Monday morning, but got me in line and called me when my car was ready a couple hours later. Service was perfect and at a great price. I recommend Coastal Fast Lube for anyone needing no-nonsense car service while in OBX! read more

Katie (owner) and Julie are awesome. Friendly techs, great technical knowledge and service and a good value. Highly recommend

My old van broke down while passing through on a Sunday night. I had to get a hotel and take the van somewhere first thing the next morning. I was on a tight schedule because I work remote and couldn't miss work. I stood outside of A1 Auto Repair across the street waiting for them to open up at 8, but no one had showed up. So I noticed Coastal Fast Lube across the high way. I made the trek to run across the street and the manager said they could get me in to replace my serpentine belt. I was grumpy from all the stress and she put up with me which I appreciate! I started to walk back to the hotel and made it about a mile down the road when a mechanic John called me and said he'd already finished it. Super fast service and very capable people. Thanks to Coastal Fast Lube. read more

Absolute crooks! Anything other than a oil change or inspection go some else. Charged me 500 dollars for a part that cost 140 . Will never go back there again! read more

This is by far the most friendly, efficient and fast service center I have ever visited! As soon as I pull in the lot, a technician greets me from behind the garage door and walks me to the lobby while asking what I would like done. I left with an oil change, some amazing pink wiper blades (installed free) and a huge smile. It's so refreshing to know that you can still go to get something done to your vehicle and not feel like you're another number with overpriced parts you didn't need to begin with. read more

Coastal Fast Lube - How freakin' awesome are these?! - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

I had a FANTASTIC experience here today. This was my first time and I'm really happy. My 2006 Honda Accord needed some brake work done and they gave me a fair estimate and told me that I only needed rear pads and rotors and the front brakes were totally fine. I really appreciate a fair and honest service shop that does great work at a reasonable price. I plan to return in the fall for an oil change. This place is VERY, VERY busy and now I know why, so just need to exercise some patience :-) The young lady who runs the front desk inside does a wonderful job and she takes multitasking to a whole new level. Thank You CFL!!! Brad read more

Like that I can reserve appointment online. Service is quicker than I expected. No overselling. Definitely recommend.

Was there today in the rain getting an inspection, friendly, fast service. I was in and out in less then an hour, met the owner Katy! She's awesome, the entire crew were busy working like a well oiled machine! Very proud to see a women owned and operated business thrive! read more

I visited this business while on a cross country road trip and sought an oil change. During the intake, I specified the exact oil type that my engine needs, but the mechanics put in a different type of oil without asking me or checking the oil cap. The owner or manage came to let me know this and said they were choosing oil based off some system that tells them what type of oil my make/model needs. I informed her that my car doesn't have the original engine, so they finally checked the oil cap and confirmed that they added the wrong oil type, then proceeded to drain the new oil to replace it with the correct oil that I requested and that the engine calls for. It was a busy Friday so the wait was nearly 2 hours. After arriving back to my home state, I found fresh oil stains on my garage floor and my normal mechanic informed me that the drain plug was not tightened up during the oil change, so my oil was nearly empty when it shouldn't have been, which could've killed my engine if I hadn't made it home when I did. People were friendly at Coastal but the service was poor. read more

Prices were reasonable. People were nice. Will definately use again. They were busy the day I went but everyone seemed focused and organized. Thanks to all. read more

They've repaired and replaced tires for me as well as oil changes. This is a busy, efficient shop, run by friendly, honest people.

Clear cut service! I needed new tires on our trip down from Maryland and Trish was really helpful. They had a quick turnaround even with a delay in the tires being shipped. I was very appreciative of their straightforward work. Thanks to them, I got home safely! read more

I've never seen such a hard working team of mechanics. We went there based on a recommendation from our host and are so thankful for the suggestion. We arrived around 1 pm with the car rattling and shaking progressively worse. They were beyond packed and said to expect to be a few hours which to me was a blessing because they could have turned me away. Jesus our mechanic called us a couple of hours later with a diagnosis of a broken wheel bearing and additional related issues. Despite approaching closing time he took his time explaining what is needed and the cost breakdown. My wife and I were hoping to get the car the next day at best and were attempting to rework the plans so the kids could still enjoy the trip when our phone rang again and Jesus said to pick the car up. We were so excited! We were also told that we will need to make additional repairs with Kia and the team was kind enough to speak over the phone to our Kia service center at home. The team even offered to look our car over before making the trip back home (i.e the issue Kia needs to fix) no charge and as a priority so no wait! A great hard working team there in Kill Devil Hills OBX! Thanks for saving our family vacation! read more

Coastal Fast Lube - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina

They forgot to put oil back in my father in law's car for a routine oil change while we were on vacation. How stupid can you get. They likely totaled his car. Just awful. read more

We are visiting the beach for a week, and our car started to leak oil as we were driving to the beach. This was the closest fast lube, so we went there. It was an hour and a half wait (the next place I called couldn't get us in til the next morning). We walked to the beach while we waited. They called us back and said they couldn't find a leak anywhere, but we were low on oil so they filled it up and also topped off our power steering fluid that was low. They didn't charge us a dime. I'm so grateful for an honest mechanic who took care of us quickly and got us on our way. Will definitely return if we ever break down again on vacation! It's so hard to find a car shop you can trust. I'd recommend you give them a try. read more

This shop was great to me today. Down to the banks for the weekend and find myself upon a hurricane. Following this, I found that along the trip, my truck has lost a bolt that was holding my shocks on. They repaired this in less than an hour and as a courtesy. These are good people. Thanks to them for a quick fix. They let me get back to my weekend worry free. read more

Superlative service ! Caught them on a Monday morning when EVERYONE thinks about an oil change and it was a logistics symphony. No kiddin ' Very amiable Queen Bee greets U, never asks details 'cause she's cerebrally logged them as U drove up. It was fun to watch her plugging every logistical whole. Said it would be 1.25 hours 'out the door ' and sure as day break it was 1.5. Mind U, 10 first come & serve patrons glommed her ETA projection in one bite and she jumped to keep it on schedule moving. Best oil-change - hour - and - a - half - ever- spent - award LOL read more

Stopped for a quick oil change and they caught that I had a nail in my tire wall that I didn't know about and helped me get it fix. Absolutely amazing workers. 100% recommend! read more

I recommended this place they do the job fast and it's a walk-in and they charge for a reasonable price. The only thing that was not right was my driver side window is open my car key is inside when I got to the shop! read more

Hands down, the fastest, quality service on the beach-- not to mention extremely nice guys! Thank you for all of your help with changing out the trailer tires! God Bless! read more

We were stuck on our way home from vacation with the truck acting funny :/ (we were totally meant to stay in OBX) Amazing service! The guys were super friendly, knowledgeable & immediately got us in and back on the road. Thank you! read more

I just simply wouldn't go anywhere else. As a retired car dealer, race car champion and owner of OBX Auto Detailing, maybe my kudos have a little credibility. Coastal Fast Lube is consistently frriendly, fairly priced and competent. Enough said! read more

Stopped to have a nail pulled from one tire and a valve replaced on another. Busy day and had to wait 45 minutes. But when it was our turn, done efficiently in less than 10 minutes. read more

Very disappointed. I have been taking my car(s) to this business for years. This is the first visit since the pandemic started and first time for this vehicle. First the good points. Very quick service. They didn't have the right oil for my vehicle, so they sent someone out to get it. However, NONE of the mechanics, nor the person whom I think was the service manager, were wearing masks. I understand the mechanics are not always talking with the public,(although one told me about the oil), but the service manager was talking with every customer, including me, no mask. The woman who works behind the desk had a mask, but I saw her take it on and off as she went inside the garage, the parking lot, and office, sometimes wearing it with customers, sometimes not. To me this a dangerous way to do business. I won't be back. read more

I had brake issues with my truck that needed immediate attention, I called to see if they did brake repairs as there and a very pleasant lady said "Yup" Bring it in and we will give you an estimate. I brought in the truck and left it with them, I was contacted by a pleasant gentleman who gave me the estimate, upon approval they did the work. The quote was very reasonable, and the service was prompt. I highly recommend them. read more

Hands down, best experience I've ever had. Get it in, get out. They ask the right questions and get you back on your way quickly. This place is not a secret. The cars are lined up at 7:15am and for good reason and they do not take appointments. Line is super quick though!! read more

Such friendly staff!!! My car is always done within the estimated time, I'll never go anywhere else

Staff is always friendly and I never need an appointment. They treat my car & equipment as if it were their own! This place is great!

Have never been so disappointed in an oil change and getting new tires. They drained my transmission fluid and didn't replace it. They put my 2 new tires on the back instead of the front. Failed to put spare back in trunk. The new tires they did put on had bad air valves. Then they put the wrong mileage down. Off by 40,000 miles. Never again. This took 3 days to remedy. read more
