I love bringing my car here I have 2016 Hyundai Sonata and they always are affordable with pricing , they don't bullshit you and get straight to the nitty griddy. If your car doesnt need services yet they are straight up and tell you it doesn't , they don't ever try and take your cash for easy money . I love how honest they are and the owner is a sweetheart . I usually go to oil changes with them and recently got a tune up, I will definitely just be sticking to them for all my car needs . They don't just leave your Car parked and wait till your approaching to start working on it !! If they say 2 hrs believe me your car will be done in 2hrs or less !!! I definitely recommend them to all my friends and family !! read more

Walked in and was serviced right away. Super quick, honest and professional! They cracked a few jokes and even offered me water! Friendly customer service is always a treat. Will be coming back for sure! read more

Quick service - in and out in 10 minutes! Everyone was wearing masks. They check all your fluids even of you're just getting an oil change. They even checked my air filter and replaced it for me after they showed me it was dirty. read more

Oil was changed in under 10 minutes. Super efficient, professional, and for 6.5 quarts of synthetic oil for $75, a pretty great deal. Normal going to an oil change is about as nice as a trip to the dentist or DMV, but this was not bad at all. read more

I take my vehicles there and it runs me ten minutes at the most. They are honest and reliable. They also make suggestions as to what may need to be repaired in the near future. I really recommend them for your regular oil changes both quickly and at a fair price. read more

Always a great experience and over-the-top support for my Corvette. They stop all the traffic to put in lift boards so I could roll in. They had me out in 20 mins. read more

I never have experienced change oil in my car so fast, so efficient. People there are so kind. Why did I waste all those money and all those effort to find a place to change oil while this place is only 15 min from my house? read more

Great place to bring my car for great service and they'll tell you if you need anything else addressed or looked at. Thank you!!!

Drive through full service oil change including tire air check and your common fluids for $40 , synthetic oil too, staff is very nice and service is fast! I come here for the reasonable prices and because it's family owned. Don't go to (Oil changers) and get ripped off $70 for a basic oil change and the long wait times. read more

I LOVE this place!!! This review is long overdue. I have been coming here since like 2018 when I lived down the street. They are so fast and quick with my oil changes. They even show me the level thing. The workers are all amazing and kind. They give me super dad vibes just helping me with my car troubles! I'm glad they also do brakes because my car is getting old and needs more TLC than before. They are very honest with me, never try doing anything crazy! Sigh yep! Love it here. Definitely recommend them! They're just as good as if my dad were to be here to fix my car. read more

I called ahead to ask about how much it would be. It was $39 even and when I pulled in it was very fast. They did my synthetic blend oil change on my Kia Soul really fast. They let me sit in my car and enjoy some complimentary sweets as they did the oil change. It took about 10-15 minutes. Great service. read more

Insta Lube - Drive thru oil change - Auto Repair Near Me - Hayward, California

My second time coming in for a oil change. First time was a lot quicker. They do a quick job of getting you in and out which I like. Yesterday however it took them a while longer. For my car I have a oil pan shield cover that has to be screwed in. Whoever did my oil change was having a hard time with it when done with my oil change. I could hear them tightening like crazy with a hand held drill. Didn't think much of it. Today on my way to work I hear something dragging underneath my car on the freeway and it sounded like metal grinding. I pull over to inspect it and I look under my car and notice that my the cover was halfway off. I noticed that all the holes that the screws are suppose to go into are cracked from over tightening. I also notice they didn't even put it back on properly. It's not too hard to put it back on but if you are having issues don't force it then over tighten with a drill. If you have a cover just make sure you inspect it when you get home to make sure it's put on correctly read more

We were hesitate to cause everything going on but I remember I had my oil change by my parents house in Hayward and we going visit them and we really needed oil change so we came here , haven't been for awhile because I live in San Francisco , this is the place decent price we bought out own oil and filters to change our oil it only cost $26 for a Honda pilot. I recommend coming here quick and fast and you've in the car the whole time, and very friendly! read more

This is my new go to spot when I want an oil change. I came here because my Prius was overdo for an oil change. Not sure if I got lucky, but got a quality oil change in less than 15 minutes for under $40. That's hard to beat!! They specialize in oil change so there's no up-selling involved for other services. If you're on a time crunch and want a hassle-free service, I couldn't recommend this place enough. read more

When I found out the shop I regularly get my oil change done at had closed down due to COVID, I was stressin any finding another honest car mechanics. Thank goodness I found Insta Lube! I was literally in & out in 15 min for a synthetic oil change, from start to finish, though it felt shorter because the conversation with Chris was so much fun! I didn't even need to get out of my car, so totally COVID-appropriate. And when I asked about my brakes, they gave me the honest response that newer cars squeak when it's time to change the brakes. My car runs smoothy now, unlike that one time I gotbny oil change at another East Bay shop. I'll def come back! read more

Fastest service I've ever seen in my entire life. This was crazy. LOL I came in for my transmission fluids to be flushed and an oil change. They started on my car RIGHT away. Another car came for an oil change. In 3 minutes, the lady stayed in her car, and drove off. I was so confused. The owner said, "yes, good team work here." I'm entirely blown away at the quality and efficiency of this place. My transmission oil and full synthetic oil change was done in 9 minutes. Update: after using this place with all of my cars from commuter to luxury for years-- they're consistently amazing and efficient!!!! One of the guys Chris, maybe an owner is insanely hospitable! Thanks guys!! read more

I have been coming here for years for oil changes. They are reasonably priced, fast and trustworthy, plus as a bonus they provide great customer service. They also provide mechanical service and seem very knowledgeable. Today they replaced my battery and I'm thrilled to avoid the terrible customer service at Sears or PepBoys. They didn't have my battery in stock so they special ordered it from their local supplier and had it within 30 minutes. Great service!! read more

This place is the BEST!!!! Family owned and run. Everybody is so friendly and polite. Love it! They are fast, friendly and great at what they do. If you need an oil change, you're missing out if you go somewhere else. read more

I wish I knew about this place years ago! Today was my 3rd visit to this place and I always leave happy and please. The first two times was for an oil change. I used to go to Pepboys or even sometimes Toyota to get my oil changed but wow what a shame I didn't know about this place since I started driving as a teenager. The wait at those places are atleast 3 hours... But here you're in and out within 10 mins tops for an oil change. Today I came back because my left highlight was almost out and it was empty. Left within 5 minutes! I will continue to come here and not to mention the gentlemen are very nice and hospitable! Always a " thank you" " have a nice day/weekend" and the prices are reasonable! Thank you for all you've done so far! read more

The best oil change change place in the Bay Area. No frills, just auto repairs and quick oil changes.

Excellent customer service here and extremely quick oil change. Unlike many car service establishments which for some odd reason (no idea why) usually have rude people that you feel you can't trust. I didn't get that vibe here. Extremely friendly and an excellent price. read more

Quick and fast service with a good attitude and professionalism at its finest. Highly recommend.

The people that work there are competent, courteous, and reliable. I trust them to take care of my car.

This is undeniably the best place to have your vehicle's oil changed. First, you get to remain in your warm car. Second, the service is 5 star! Third, they are honest. Fourth they are exceedingly courteous and gracious. Two qualities which are rare these days. Chris is outstanding and humble. I am certain that once you go there, you will never go anywhere else. Oh, I failed to mention, they are really FAST!! read more

fastest, cheapest and most hassle free oil change ever ever had. just drive in like a car wash and go!

HELLA FLUSH? No problem! I have a extremely low car and they were able to accommodate. At first I was thought to myself "I'm to slammed again", but he told me to hold on and put down some steps so that my front end would clear their bay. Fastest oil change ever! They give you such a refreshing feeling that the job is being done right. I'm coming back for my next oil change. read more

Came in to have them diagnose an oil leak that was happening. They were able to locate 2 slow oil leaks. They said repairs are to be done by dealership preferably that would be about 1500-2000 however they also said that since the leaks are so slow that we can jus check the oil every month and add a quart and even having the car for an additional 5 years it'll still be less than the repair itself. $35 to do the diagnostic check. They were super friendly from owner to staff. Would def recommend and come back if I was in the area! read more

This place can go either way. The service is fast and okay priced. I been coming there for a while, but one time the asian owner guy put the wrong engine motor oil in my car because he believed it would be better for my car. But I didn't realize that until I drove it home and that my engine was working harder than before. I went back and the owner guy went from being a nice friendly guy to very defensive. He's lucky I didn't smack him lol jk Either way just be careful when going to this place and watch what oil is being put in your car. read more

They were quick, I got in and got out. I have a 2011 VW Jetta so I got full synthetic oil it came out to $65. The guy who worked on my car said that if I bring my own oil next time the labor will only come out to $25. I'll be back in 6 months! read more
