    Oil Change
    Jacob B.

    Ever since I bought my new car, I have been coming to Mr. Oil for oil changes and tire rotations. This place is very professional, the workers know what to do, how to check for things that they are ok, tweak what needs tweaking, fix what needs fixing, and it's all done so very very quickly. I'm always happy with the value I get for a very reasonable price! The owner, Manuel, is extremely courteous, and always engaged in conversation and explained all I asked of him with integrity and a smile on his face. I love this business. If you are reading this review and are wondering whether to go here, I HIGHLY recommend that you do! Thank you Manuel and the Mr. Oil team for always helping me out!

    They removed the silicone that someone from the past applied to the car

    they do an upsell without prior notification. That is unprofessional and they seem prey on women.

    I bring my own oil and they charge only 15 for labor. All staff are very friendly. Takes them about 10-15 minutes too.

I went in for transmission fluid change earlier in February in my Toyota Camry 2018. I bought OEM Toyota transmission fluid and asked Joe to help do drain and fill.The drain and fill was completed. After that there was a rough driving issues started. I went back to show my car to joe and he drove the car he told me he don't see any issues. I wanted him to check transmission fluid port on if there is low transmission fluid he didn't agree and told me I might be overthinking. I went to different mechanic in April and he checked. I paid $100 to reopen the port for transmission fluid and what we saw was no fluid came out from the primary port. He added 0.5 quarters left. The issues I have had for rough idle and need to have higher RPM on slope went away completely.According to him you have to keep the car running when you drain the fluid and you need to have it at the right temperature he said the drain and fill wasn't done correctly that's why there was still room for fluid. The viscosity of the fluid makes a difference in how much you can fill and drain. He double checked for leakage and there were no leaks either. When I went to joe and asked about don't you have to keep car warm to see if temperature is right? He said you only do it when there is a leak. I don't think Joe knew enough about mechanics of New car. I wasn't overthinking when I went to ask Joe for help and asked to recheck the transmission fluid. I paid $260 for labor only( $160 to Joe and $100 to another mechanic) for same job. It's really absurd. Overall this could have damaged my transmission. I think for future the customer advise should be taken seriously. I know my car well so I know when it's not acting good. I have been driving it from 10 years.

But I brought my Subaru in for the typical oil change this past, hot Sunday. They didn't tell me until AFTER the fact. But they accidentally drained my CVT fluid (which is a big deal for Subarus). I don't know what they replaced the fluid with since the fluid wasn't listed on the invoice. My car started to make a "whizzing" noise from the CVT area while slowly ascending an incline. This noise hasn't previously happened in the past. I was already planning to bring it into Subaru for a CVT fluid flush. But this mistake by Valvoline made it mandatory for me. So I'm bringing it into Subaru tomorrow. I'm hoping that the transmission fluid they used hasn't caused any damage. I don't know if it was just the hot weather. But I can't trust them enough to go back to them now. I'm hoping no real damage was done to my CVT.

Unfortunately, my experience with the new General Manager, Daniel, was completely unacceptable. On July 31 and August 1, I called to confirm if Frank was working before driving over for my appointment. When I called Saturday morning to double-check, Daniel answered with immediate frustration, saying, "Yeah, you called yesterday, and I told you already." When I tried to explain I was just confirming, he hung up and placed me on hold mid-sentence. When I called back to express that hanging up was dismissive, he told me I shouldn't bring my car to the store at all. When I asked for a manager, he stated he was the General Manager, then repeatedly talked over me until I hung up. As a woman seeking auto care, I already approach these shops with caution. This interaction left me feeling completely unwelcome. It is deeply concerning that this behavior comes from the person responsible for leading the store. I will be escalating this directly to Corporate. Frank, Louis, and Martin are fantastic, but the new leadership at this location makes it impossible to return
