I rarely leave 1-star reviews, but my experience with Lube DrX in Manahawkin was extremely disappointing. I normally change my own oil, but because I didn't have access to my tools for a few months, I brought my vehicle here for an oil change. When it came time for the next oil change and I went to remove the engine splash shield, I discovered that two holes had been cut into it--one below the oil filter and another below the drain plug. I had replaced this splash shield in 2022, and there was no reason for it to have holes cut into it. Removing the shield properly requires taking out about 15 bolts, so it appears someone may have taken a shortcut rather than removing it as designed. I emailed the Lube DrX with photos of the damage and the cost of replacing the splash shield, simply asking that they reimburse me for the damage. After five days with no response, I called and was met only with, "We would not do that." When I explained that I certainly didn't cut the holes myself and the vehicle had only been to their shop for an oil change, the response was repeated: "We would not do that." Can I prove they did it? No. But the circumstantial evidence certainly points in that direction, and I was disappointed that they wouldn't even have a conversation about it or review the photos. If the technicians were having difficulty removing the splash shield, I wish they had simply asked me first. I would have declined the work and taken the vehicle elsewhere rather than have parts of my car permanently damaged. Now I'm out the cost of another splash shield. Should have went to Valvoline but wanted to save a few bucks. Lesson learned--you often get what you pay for. read more

I have gone here for the last time . Service gets 3 stars one of the guys was smoking under my car while changing my oil . Their prices have gone up too high for me . Sign says oil change is $84.95 but that doesn't include a $9.95 filter . Who gets an oil change without buying a filter so the oil change is actually $95 now which with the $6.29 tax the oil change is over $100 . They always try to get for an air filter for almost $30 which usually cost $10 at any parts store , so they are charging $20 on labor . It literally take 20 seconds to change an air filter . I will be doing my own oil changes for now on . read more

Terry was so helpful and courteous. The price was lower than any other service center in the area. It was amazingly fast. You are in and out. I highly recommend Lube Doctor. read more

If you just need an oil change and you don't have the time to wait, they can get you in and out in a hurry.

They put conventional oil in my car and after speaking with the dealer they said it should have been synthetic oil. When I called to ask if they could remedy the situation he told me he could not and next time I should "do my homework" Do not use this business unless you want to void the warranty on your car read more

My husband and I always go to Lube Dr. They are honest and they check your fluids, filters, windshield wipers and more. They usually have a wait but it goes by quickly. They also vacuum your car out for you. read more

Called Lube Doctor with some basic questions. Woman who answered the phone was very rude and unprofessional. I hung up after 2 or 3 questions. No way to run a business! read more

Dropping this to 1 star because I heard something rattling under my hood the day after I had the oil changed...popped the hood only to find that the technician didn't put my air filter enclosure back together after he tried selling me on a new one (and it's only a few months old). Incongruent pricing information + sloppy work = never coming back here again. read more

Worst customer service ever! They put the wrong oil in my car and refused to make it right stating I didn't ask for synthetic oil. Woman behind the desk was rude and unprofessional. Instead of making it right and making the customer happy (and making a larger sale) she chose to tell me she wasn't a mind reader. read more

The cashier was annoyed when I asked if the web promotion was applied to my total. "You have to ask"

Been going here for 10 years, however recently we brought our new 2018 Volkswagen in for an oil change and we woke up to a puddle of oil in our driveway. Had the car brought to VW service and they found the oil filter screwed on too tight causing the seal to leak. Disappointing! read more

It's been a long time since my last visit prior to today...not through the fault of Lube Dr., but because the car I bought new in 2012 comes with free oil changes for life. That's the key word here - "life." Life tends to get busy and messy and crazy sometimes, and the convenience of being a "walk-in" vs. making and keeping an appointment makes paying for today's oil change worth it. But here's the kicker - many times, people tend to believe that what you gain in convenience is something you might be giving up in quality. This has held true in another service I purchased elsewhere, i.e. Mobile grooming for my dog. That groomer was more expensive and less thorough than the usual place and person. Higher prices for substandard service was my experience with that, so I don't do that anymore. But to pay for an oil change when I'm entitled to free ones? Well, there's another component to this as well. There are at least 10 places I can get my oil changed within a 15 minute radius. So why this one? Honesty, for starters. Be it in the work they've done, never trying to upsell me on services, nor ever treating me like i was stupid and/or trying to scare me into repairs that aren't needed (another local place tried that, which was cute, with my son's car. "It's a deathtrap and if something happens, can you forgive yourself as a parent?" LOL And a certain tire place on Route 9 wonders why they lost my business? He's lucky that's all he lost. I was afraid he might have missed some of his teeth after the attempt of guilt/shock/shame tactics)... Lube Dr. doesn't do this. And the honesty also extends to all of the employees. I dropped my wallet years ago while wrestling an infant, a carseat and a purse. These were times when I carried cash instead of plastic.) The very same lady I saw there today was the lady who chased after me to give me my wallet back. I would have been none the wiser. I've never forgotten that kindness. So, free dealer oil changes or not, Lube Dr. remains a place I will willingly spend money, as well as recommend to family and friends. read more

Brought my car in for an oil change today, and they went above and beyond my expectations. Long story short, the skid plate and grill of my car was cracked, and I had the skid plate hanging up with string until I could bring it into Voltswagon to get fixed. Without them even telling me, and only charging for my oil change they fixed it! Thank you guys so much!! read more

Terrible. Overcharged for a basic oil change. They advertise price of $31.95 was charged $45.87 as my car supposed needed a special oil filter which was never charged to me by anyone for 10 years prior. They should have disclosed price. When question they were rude and well take your business elsewhere!!!! read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE! Broke my hood on my car, lied about putting windshield washer fluid in my car and lied about fixing my brake light TWICE. Do not go here. read more
