Moved to Austin 2 months ago and needed a new place to change the oil in mine and my wife's cars! Boy did I find the pot of gold! These guys are amazing in every aspect-of service and quality. Pulled up at opening taken in and out in 15 min! These guys are real pros and very efficient! My oil change place for life! read more

I don't know how you could get any better! Promptly greeted, friendly service man who was clearly competent. I was second in line but still got out in 22 minutes. I feel that's lightning fast. This isn't in my hood, but I liked it well enough to know this is my new place for oil changes. And the owner has an automotive ship next door--good to know. Completely confident I'm in good hands! read more

This place is AMAZING. I was at the Leif Johnson Ford right down the street and was frustrated because of the unreal wait times. While waiting I searched for other places that offer oil changes nearby and found this gem! I pulled up, was greeted by Jeff who informed me of prices, different levels of oils and educated me on what he thought was best. If you are looking for friendly, quick, affordable and convenient, you have found your place! read more

Great experience here. Went at 8 AM and there was only one vehicle ahead of me. I was greeted immediately and asked what they could do for me. I only needed the oil change and he said he'd be right on it as soon as he finished the other vehicle. There were two guys working, one up top on the floor and one underneath the vehicles. The one up top handled the customers as well and he was very professional. My vehicle was ready to go and I was back on the road in less than 20 minutes. That's my idea of a quick oil change. Fast, friendly service for a fair price. I will definitely be back for my next oil change. read more

No line and quick service! These guys were fantastic from start to finish! I got right in at 4:30 p.m. on a Thursday and from start to finish I was there for about 15-20 minutes. They didn't try to upsell me or sell me anything extra and took the time to explain their sticker they put in my window. I think it's nice that they mark down the type of oil they used on the sticker so you don't have to fumble over your answer the next time you get an oil change. As a woman, I always cringe when I have to go anywhere to get car maintenance done however, I will gladly come back here! Great service, fast, friendly and a $30 oil change, what more could you ask for? read more

Needed an oil change ( like 2000 mile ago), popped into Oil Works expecting to find an hour+ wait or to be told to come back some otter time. They took my car and started working immediately. They were polite and patient. The best part is that I was in and out in under 15 min. ( the second best was that it only cost me $30 ). It took longer for me to drive home than to get my oil changed, driving home was more of a hassle to. Either these guys just scammed me out of $30 or this is the best & cheapest oil change I have ever had. I'm am going to give them the benefit of the doubt but I'll update this in 3000 - 5000 miles. read more

If I could give a negative five stars I would. Do not believe the five stars reviews, these guys could give a crap if you use them or not. To paraphrase what I heard "We got plenty of car dealer work why do people still drive up?" This place would rather be smoking cigs and talking crap about customers than to do any more business. So apparently they are too busy so pass them by. By the way, I went on a slow day...I pity the fool that goes when they're "busy". read more

After skimming through Yelp, I decided to come here based on the amount of stars awarded and positive reviews given. I'm happy to say the reviews were spot on! I had the day off and only waited about 45 minutes. They were very fast, friendly, and professional, so I'm glad I went to oil works! As for the cost of an oil change $72 is pretty pricey for synthetic oil, but I'm still very pleased with the service and how kind and honest everyone I spoke to was. I will be recommending this place to any of my friends should they ever want to try a new business out. Thanks y'all! read more

Needed a quick oil change since the dealership had my appointment set for 2 months out and was planning to drive out of town. Stopped in to oil works and was immediately greeted and told that there was 4 cars in front of me and it would be about an hour. No go. I went ahead and left. I was using my lunch break to get this done so silly me, lunch hour would understandably be pretty busy. Day two. I decided to stop in again and see how long the wait was. I got to pull right in and it was 12:34 when I sat down to wait. I was in my car driving away at 12:46. I. Am. Amazed. Awesome service. Not cheap!!! But Sometimes you would rather go with fast and efficient over cheap.. thanks Oil Works! read more

So happy to find this gem! Drove up during my lunch hour and was able to pull right into the garage, drop off the keys, and then walk up to Bun Belly for lunch. They're friendly, efficient, and not looking to upsell or manipulate their customers. Price was comparable to any oil change I've gotten, and maybe a bit less. They're perfectly situated within walking distance of some of the best food spots in town (Tysons Tacos, Kome Sushi, Bullfight, and my favorite fave..... Bun Belly; In-N-Out Burger is right next door, if you're into that). I'll use these guys for any of my motor needs. Thanks, Billy!! Y'all are awesome!! read more

I'm so happy I found this place! I pass this little shop on my way to/from work everyday and figured I would stop in on my way home. I was tired of the crap service from the dealership (even an $8.00 oil change couldn't keep me going to them). I pulled in at 4:51pm for a simple oil change, and I was paying at 5:10pm. All three of the guys in the shop were super nice and I didn't once feel uncomfortable being the only female in the place. These guys even looked into why my front windshield wiper fluid wasn't spraying (I had asked the dealership on three occasions to fix this issue- they never did). I will defiantly go to them from now on. read more

I went here for a synthetic oil change about a year ago and had an okay-ish experience. The oil change was fine, but the employees spent most of their time trash talking customers to each other while I waited. Anyway, given the stay-at-home order, I thought I'd give them another try instead of giving my dollars to a chain shop. I called to ask what they were doing for social distancing before going in. Answer? "Nothing. Nothing at all." So I went to Jiffy Lube, where they're taking this seriously and letting folks stay in their car for the whole thing. read more

So my dashboard was reading -123 for my oil and I decided this is worrisome and annoying enough I should get an oil change already. Also had a bit of driving out of town I needed to do the coming weekend too. Thought I'd buzz up to Walmart the next day and see if they could get me in. I did come by and and asked the attendant about the wait. It was gonna be 2.4 hours until they got to me. I was in a crunch to get this done before I had work in 2 hours too. So now the race was on. Went to a small place off koening just before Lamar and their oil guy wasn't even there. Looked up this place on yelp and figured maybe they could something for me with the hour I have left. So glad I stopped by. Place is easy to miss if you're just looking for those penzoil signs in some of the pics on yelp. They got all new plain signage and mobil oil now I guess. Anywho, they let me pull into an empty spot even as another woman pulls up and takes the garage bay I should be in. Points there. So the true magic of it all, I was in and out in 15 minutes. $40. Fluids topped. Unreal. They work like a well oiled machine. I'll be back. read more

I love Oil Works! Everytime my Volvo needs an oil and filter change I take it here. I usually get there before 8:30am and there has NEVER been a wait. The actual oil change always takes less than 15 minutes and then I'm out the door. Not to mention their prices are very affordable and the guys are super nice. I'd highly recommend Oil Works for your oil changing needs! Note: If you have a foreign car call them a day ahead so they can order your filter. read more

Went in to get my oil changed today and cut it a little close to closing time. I was told they were closing up and I'd have to come back tomorrow, but after mentioning I was going out of town they were able to fit me in! Took only 15/20 min to get my oil changed, much better than any other place I've tried. Waiting room had good seating (not that it's necessary with so little waiting). I really appreciate the customer service I received and I will definitely be back next oil change! read more

Mario's Inspection Station

LADIES, AVOID AT ALL COSTS! PREDATORY PRACTICES!! I REGRET COMING HERE SO MUCH!…read more I brought my car into Mario's Inspection Station last summer because my AC was only working on the highest setting, was making a loud noise, and was leaking. I stopped at Mario's because I pass by it every day on my way home. I had already been dealing with this issue for some time and had previously taken my car to another mechanic up north. Since that shop was out of the way and Mario's had great reviews, I decided to give them a chance. I pulled in, and the owner came out, told me where to park, took my keys, and said one of his mechanics would take a look at it. I went inside and waited while they inspected the car. A little later, the owner came back into the lobby and told me they had added Freon and that there might be an issue with the control switch and condenser. He said they would need to order parts and continue looking into the problem. Then he handed me a bill for $360. I was completely shocked. Mind you, I had already had another mechanic add Freon to the system just a few months earlier. I was not expecting a bill anywhere near that amount. What upset me the most was that nobody consulted me before performing the work. I never gave consent for them to add Freon. Had they asked, I would have told them that Freon had already been added recently and that I wanted to understand the issue before spending hundreds of dollars. The owner told me the Freon charge was fixed and that the remaining $160 was for diagnosing the problem. He could tell I was visibly upset. He walked me out to my car and tried to reassure me that they were going to fix the issue and that the $160 diagnostic fee would go toward the repair. He told me he would order the parts and call me the very next day. Well, guess what? He never called. Not the next day. Not later that week. Not ever. I never reached back out because the entire experience made me feel so icky. I felt uncomfortable, frustrated, and honestly taken advantage of. So I drove around for the next year with my AC STILL broken. Fast forward to now. I finally decided to do my own research and figure the problem out myself. After watching a few videos and reading up on the issue, I discovered that the likely culprit was the blower motor and blower motor resistor. I ordered the parts on Amazon, spent less than $50, and fixed it myself in about 15 minutes. So after charging me $160 for a diagnosis (a wrong one at that), never following up, pumping freon that was unnecessary, and leaving me with the exact same problem I came in with, I ended up solving it myself for a fraction of the cost. Ladies, please do your research before handing over your keys and your wallet. My experience here was incredibly disappointing, and I would never return.

I've used Dave ultimate for work on my other car at their Pflugerville and Howard Street locations…read moreand I've always been pleased with their work. Their prices are either in line or slightly less than dealership prices, and they do stand behind their work. This is their only location that can handle luxury cars like my Mercedes. It was time to do the schedule B service on my C300. It is the 60,000 mile or 10 year service and it runs about $1500 on average. And that's not including the transmission service. It's also a 3 to 4 hour job, which is why it's best to have someone pick you up. You can sit in their small basic waiting room where you can find complementary water and coffee. There are some places within a few blocks of walking such as Taco Cabana or Mandolas where you could spend some more quality time waiting. They have a very skilled service tech who also works on BMWs as well. They also work on EV's although that work is limited. They had my schedule B service done in 3 1/2 hours and were able to save me a couple hundred dollars making it just $1300. I was also not charged a credit card fee. Will be returning for future maintenance. Informative photos included.

The technicians did thorough diagnostic work and the repairs, while expensive, were legitimate and necessary. I want to specifically thank Ike and Martin for how they treated me as a customer. Ike was friendly and went out of his way to help by giving me a ride home and later making sure I was able to get the loaner car when it had been made unavailable. Martin was also professional and supportive throughout the process. My main issue was with the service management, specifically Deon. The loaner car option was not brought up when it should have been, and after a frustrating phone call about the situation, Deon immediately called me back to ask if I wanted the loaner. From a customer service perspective, that follow-up was poorly timed and escalated the situation instead of de-escalating it. When a customer is already upset about communication and options not being presented earlier, calling back right away without acknowledging that tension makes things worse, not better. The shop clearly has capable technicians and helpful front-facing staff, but the way the situation was handled at the service management level added unnecessary stress to an already difficult and expensive repair. With better communication and timing from management, this could have been a much better experience Sincerely, Andrew Johnson

When I reached out to Josue, he was extremely professional, responsive, and helpful from the start. He got back to me quickly, was able to fit me in the same week, and even came to my house to fix my car despite it being a long drive for him with horrible weather and traffic. He was so willing to test drive the car to figure out the issue and repaired my exhaust heat shield for a very fair price. The whole process was easy and stress-free. While working on my car, he also pointed out a few other things that may need attention in the future, but he wasn't insistent at all, just honest and informative, which is so rare these days. It's hard to find someone who is trustworthy, reliable, and dependable, and Josue definitely exceeded my expectations. I really appreciate his help and will absolutely be calling him again for any future car repairs. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest mechanic!
