Came here for a car inspection on a Tuesday morning and lemme tell ya - these folks are fast and efficient. It's a small place but seems quite equipped to manage a lot of car issues, and the gentleman who did my inspection that day (Charlie) was the sole person doing them, so he was cranking through a list of folks. They put your name on the clipboard when you arrive and just go straight down that list. I'd called beforehand to confirm their hours and theyd advised to come early so I came around 9a or so. I think the wait was about 15-20 mins? Really wasn't bad, I just fiddled with my phone and sat in my car. The actual inspection was also pretty fast, like 10 mins or maybe even a bit less. I appreciated the efficiency. Of note they do charge a 3% credit card fee. A lot of places do that nowadays, but that was really the only "surprise." They also offer a basic inspection ($12, basics to renew car reg) or a more thorough one for $18 where they check your wipers and lights etc. read more

Every once in a while, Austin reminds you why you fell in love with it in the first place--and surprisingly, this time it happened during an oil change. Let's be real: getting your oil changed usually ranks somewhere between "waiting at the DMV" and "realizing you forgot your charger at home." But Lube Pit Stop on South Lamar managed to turn it into the best oil change experience I've ever had in this city. And I don't say that lightly. From the moment I pulled in, the vibe was pure old-school Austin--friendly, unpretentious, and refreshingly human. No corporate script. No forced smiles. Just genuinely kind, courteous folks who seem to actually care about the people driving through their bays. Here's what really stood out: No upselling. None. Zero. Zilch. No "while we're at it..." scare tactics. No mystery fluids that suddenly must be replaced. Just honest work, clearly explained. Quick and efficient. I barely had time to scroll Yelp before they were done. In and out without feeling rushed or overlooked--an impressive balance. Kindness across the board. The entire team was polite, professional, and approachable in a way that feels increasingly rare. It wasn't flashy--it was sincere. And here's the kicker: when I drove away, I felt good. No second-guessing. No lingering "did I just get taken?" anxiety. Just the calm confidence that comes from dealing with people who do their job well and don't try to squeeze every extra dollar out of you. They also do state inspections, which is officially the cherry on top. One stop, no nonsense, handled by people you trust? That's a win in Austin traffic math. This is the kind of local business you root for. The kind you tell your friends about. The kind that quietly becomes your place without you even realizing it. Lube Pit Stop is officially who I'll be using from now on--and honestly, I hope they never change a thing. Highly recommend. Old Austin energy. Solid service. Zero BS. read more

Will trust Lube Pit Stop with everything I own. They are fast honest and always do a great job. An Austin company everyone should consider.

Very fast and efficient. I was in and out within 15 minutes on a Saturday. I cannot complain. This is conveniently located on South Lamar and easy to find. Definitely made my life easier. read more

Been coming here for years for inspections and oil changes. Always fast and professional. Keep up the good work guys.

Previously stated as a good example of an oil change, upon traveling back to my home in Houston I needed a new oil change. My mechanic let me know that an oil filter was never changed when I got my oil changed at the lube pit stop. Had this location at least let me know of this error I would have been happy to maintain my review but it seems at the least unprofessional not to have given this advice. read more

Still the only place I go for an oil change. I love that you stay in your car and they do the work. Every guy has always been nice to me. It is a basic operation but it gets the job done. I moved away from the South Lamar area but will drive here to get my oil changed. read more

Quick and painless emissions test! I was in and out in less than 10 minutes (on a weekday afternoon).

Stopped in today, great service, great guys and great pricing. Would recommend to anyone. Always great finding trustworthy and honest people to work with. read more

I simply showed up, and they changed my car's oil in a flash, and for perhaps the lowest price in town. They found one of the brake lights out, and replaced it for cheap. The guys there are no-nonsense and friendly, and they don't try to hustle or "upsell" you. Ideal, all around. read more

On the recommendation of my regular repair shop, I went to these guys for my annual inspection. They greeted me promptly, made sure I had my proof of insurance, and asked me to wait. The wait wasn't long, considering that there were about three people ahead of me. Boom, my car passed and they gave me my paperwork. The guy I dealt with was pleasant and efficient. The price ($18.50) seemed fair.* I'll certainly go back here next time. *The charge slip included a line for a tip. The guy pointed out that I could tip but didn't have to. In the end, I did leave a tip. This all seemed a little weird, and tipping culture has gone too far, but at least there was no pressure to tip. read more

Everyone that works here is very friendly! Straightforward process and VERY fast oil change! I was in and out in 10 mins.

These guys are great. Fast inspection service. Oil change is affordable and convenient. They don't push extra unnecessary services. People are friendly. Locally owned. We bring 3/4 of our family's vehicles here. Will bring the 4th once the free dealer service ends. Veteran discount. read more

First, I went by this morning (Saturday, 10 May 2025) and Don and Chris were as friendly and professional today as they were when I was last there 18 years ago. The folks at the shop still top off the windshield wiper fluid and clean the windshield while changing the oil. The only reason I stopped using Lube Pit Stop is I moved north and their location was not as convenient as when I lived in South Austin. Second, even though they no longer use Valvoline, they were fine with using the store bought oil, oil filter, and air filter that I brought for the oil change. Because I brought my own materials, the cost was only $47.95. Third, I plan to make the trip to have them change the oil and/or transmission fluid from now on. read more

They impressed me from the first moment because it was already close to 6:00 PM and the doors were coming down and when I pulled in, they guided me to a bay and a few minutes later took in another customer. What sealed the deal for me was the mileage sticker for my windshield: it was computer printed; so, I know that I am a real customer not a one-and-done. They also found a fixed a minor problem on the car which was not their line of business, but a quick fix for a skilled mechanic. They cared enough to do that. It was definitely traditional value-added customer service. And it was just an oil change. But they obviously care about their work. read more

I'm currently here three months later for my next oil change and when I pulled in they remembered exactly what my car needed and had already been preparing it before I pulled into the bay. The entire process is so ridiculously fast and they have an air conditioned space that you can wait if you don't want to wait in your car. Not to mention it's the cheapest full synthetic oil change I've ever gotten in Austin. They also offer state inspections which is convenient as hell. My car runs great after I come here and they don't try to upsell on unnecessary shit. 11/10 read more

Best place I have ever been for an oil change. Done in 10 minutes and topped off my windshield wiper fluid without me even asking. Super kind and great customer service. read more

Don't go to Jiffy Lube - you can support a local business and get 100x better service at Lube Pit Stop! I came on a Friday afternoon and had to wait around 30 min to get an oil change. There were two other cars in front of me, but there was an employee checking in on all the cars in line and getting new stickers printed while we were waiting They have a cute little waiting area with a TV, coffee, and magazines while you are getting your oil change. Everyone that I interacted with was extremely nice and helpful! I never felt like they were trying to upsell me with anything, and I was in and out in ~15 minutes after they got to my car. All in all, this was probably the best experience you could have with a routine oil change. I will be returning! read more

Went for my first oil change in a while. Every single person I spoke to was nice and helped direct me correctly or answer questions I was unsure of. In an out in less than 15-30 -- and I learned new things! Thank you so much!! read more

I think this was a good price, but I know this was a great experience. Fast, friendly, non-judgmental.....

Very impressed with this place. I was in and out in 10 minutes. The best oil change experience of my 40 years of car ownership. And the price was a mere $10 more than the cost of doing it myself! The last place I went to was a 45 minute wait and tried to hustle a $1,000+ "critical" oil leak repair. Lube Pit Stop not only told me that I didn't need that, they generously addressed a long list of questions with patience and competence. read more

This was our first time here to change the oil in my son's car. He is a new driver and the guys at the Lube Pit Stop showed him how to reset the oil number on the dash and when to bring the car back. They were great!! I will be getting my car to them! They didn't try to sell us anything. They topped off all the fluids in the car. The price was very reasonable. I recommend this oil change place! read more

I went in for a full-synthetic oil/filter change on Saturday morning, 10/12/2024. Service was prompt and friendly, if a little more expensive than my norm. HOWEVER, the issue was the fact that the Lube Pit Stop technician in the pit failed to replace all four of the front retaining screws on my engine splash shield. The splash shield detached during my drive the next day, and needs a repair. So, not only am I missing the 4 retainers, but I now have to get it fixed (this service really requires a lift). I'll not be returning to Lube Pit Stop. read more

Always fast and helpful. I bring all my cars here, no bs just everything you need. And all fluid top offs read more

i Liked this place for oil changes but they obviously don't care about customer service so never again. Wasted at least 30 minutes after checking in, barely spoken to, and then looked at and passed over Literally to someone who just arrived and had just sat down next to me. It wasn't even crowded. I kept starting to speak to the guy wondering WTH and he kept walking off. Left. Took 5 minutes to get inspection down the street. read more

Walk-in only. I went in for an oil change. These guys are so speedy, nice and helpful. Cant recommend enough!

Fast, friendly, and professional. I will and have gone out of my way in traffic to come here and handle my old changes and state inspections. These are great and have for 20 years I have used their services. read more

Lube Pit Stop - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Austin, Texas

First time here. Found on Yelp! Fast, friendly, and professional. Locally owned. Fair prices. Not pushy at all. Apparently, Thursdays are Ladies' day. read more

$50 (total) for a conventional oil change, and $93 (total) for synthetic oil change. Wait was around 10-25mins. My Subaru WRX needed synthetic and I have paid $90-$110 in the past so price was more than fair for labor, parts and oil. Their services team presented a few options, was super friendly and efficient and had me in and out with no fuss. They even removed the corrosion off my battery and checked my tire pressure and filled my tires for free (free upon request, so make sure to ask!) ;) read more

I came to get my oil changed and have a car inspection done around 10AM on Saturday. It was a bit of a drive downtown but I saw great reviews on Yelp and figured it was worth it. There were two cars aside from mine at the time. I drove in and was guided to the parking spot in their garage. All of the staff were friendly and all wore masks. I expected the whole process to take an hour but I was there for maybe 30 minutes. Price was reasonable and they also give you your documents in a nice folded envelope for organized safe keeping with their logo on it. They also wiped off my windshield which was a nice bonus! Will definitely return. read more

Staff were very kind and knowledgeable. Changed the oil efficiently and professionally. Went out of their way to try to locate a place that had my special car battery and could install. Very pleased with service and will return for next oil change read more

Keep in mind they do not take appointments but that said this is a fast hard working group of folks! Showed up when they opened for an oil change and my car was ready before I had time to go get a coffee. They even double checked to make sure the screen in my car showed the oil life was back to 100% before sending me off! read more

I always come here for my oil changes and inspections. The folks here are so friendly and happy to answer any questions I have about my car without "mansplaining" lol. A little more expensive than other places, but I've always been the type to pay the difference if it's reasonable and supports local businesses with great service :) read more

Been going to these folks for the past 3 years for our annual vehicle inspection. Efficient and no upselling! They get you in and out of there with no fuss. read more

negligence in writing down the correct vin number in the online form the state uses to valid the inspection, that wastes three hours of my time on a fruitless trip to the dmv, is not compensated, or even cared about by the management of this store. The most important number to get right, that is in two other places in front of the technician to verify, that any prudent person would take care to write correctly was not done correctly. i am being told by the management that "it was a mistake" to write one digit wrong... i was told i get a "free inspection" as compensation... and it really was worded like that, not give you a refund for faulty product, but give you a free inspection... I went else where, to a company who actual does take care in sending customers to the dmv prepared. Negligence is the failure to behave with the level of care that a reasonable person would have exercised under the same circumstances read more

I got my oil changed there today, and they were really nice. I went on my lunch break and they had me in and out pretty quickly. There was an air conditioned area to sit and wait. They had coffee and ice cold water. Today was a hot one and it was nice to have the cold ax and water to keep cool. The staff were courteous and knowledgeable. read more

Been coming here for about three years. Great customer service. I also come here for vehicle registration checks for truck and motorcycle. read more

Great guys and great service. Super kind and we're very informative. Will definitely be coming back

Absolutely awful service. Had my check engine light come on the day after getting my oil change here, plus my pressure gauge went flat. They deemed it a "coincidence" and wouldn't take responsibility. Not to mention I had to ask for a new sticker to be printed because the first one was horribly miscalculated. Never in my life have I witnessed such poor, half-effort quality from a lube shop. Honestly their just a sorry bunch of crooks who don't mind screwing over honest people to make another buck. GO TO WALMART BEFORE YOU GO HERE, YOU'LL THANK ME LATER read more

I really wanted to like this place and there are definitely some great things about it. I drove quite a ways to get my oil changed but I will not be returning and here's why: 1. They are expensive! My car needs synthetic oil which I know is more expensive. But at the dealership it costs around $80. Here it was $113! Apparently they gave me a $10 "coupon" so it was $103 plus tax. But that's still more than I expected to pay. 2. They didn't fill the air in my tires after I asked (and was told they would). I can fill the air but it's annoying they said they would then didn't. They were super friendly and quick though. My daughter was with me and they were so kind to her. I also got there just before 8am on a Saturday and they had me in and out within 15 minutes. Really nice people - I just wish it was cheaper and I'd be back! read more
