Take 5 Oil Change

(14 reviews)

Reasonable price, great owner, and nice location…read more Came in for an oil change and to track down the cause of a recurring stall issue with my Volkswagen Tiguan. The mechanic listened, asked good follow-up questions, made sure he understood the problem before drawing any conclusions, and then diagnosed it cleanly. The part arrived within the window he quoted (2-3 hours), was installed without fuss, and the final bill was reasonable. What stood out as much as the technical work: he flagged a slow coolant leak and a minor oil leak -- this is an older car, so neither was a shock -- but there was no pressure to pile on services. He showed me rough estimates so I'd have them when I'm ready and left the decisions to me. That kind of straightforward, no-upsell approach is rarer than it should be. The waiting area is a genuine plus: free wifi, a table big enough to work at, and a small fridge with complimentary drinks, large TV. My one suggestion would be to add a coffee in the AM. Also, the door to the reception currently reads "B". Might want to avoid any confusion with better signage. That said, I am a big fan of this establishment and will be using them for repairs in the future (apparently sooner than I want :) Bonus: he pointed me to a wonderful Indian place across the street, Biryani, which I'd highly recommend if you have time to kill while your car is being worked on.

Lynn, Trey, and Danny will advise you best practices, cost effective choices, budgeting by preparing you in advance for worn tires and brakes 'You'll need front brakes pads next time you come in for oil change' so you can prepare yourself financially. Honesty and Competence are VITAL when you trust somebody with your family's auto safety. We've been going here for 7 years now. It's a good feeling to have this kind of confidence when you drive away, knowing your car's been expertly taken care of AND you have NEVER been misled or 'ripped off' like many auto places just seem to do.

This year, I knew the check engine light was on and knew it was a MAF issue since I have a code reader. They didn't bother trying to clean it the "affordable" way, they just replaced it. Okay, I guess since it did get fixed Apparently, it still wouldn't pass emissions. I was told it was running rich due to debris causing an injector to remain open longer than it should. No idea which one was the culprit so all had to be replaced. I guess there are people out there who will believe that bullshit. I knew it was bullshit. I was told they sampled the fuel in the tank and it had debris. Duh. Find a fuel tank in a 2013 truck that doesn't have crap in the tank. That's what filters are for!! $500+ to drop and clean the tank and then I'm told the tank has baffles so likely wasn't fully cleaned. How convenient, eh?? I just needed to get it inspected so it was drivable. I recently had surgery on my shoulder so I wasn't able to work on it myself. I knew the tank cleaning was bullshit but figured maybe it would get it over the goal line. The final straw was being told I needed 8 new fuel injectors for a total of $1700. I was told the injectors were $193 each. I can get OEM injectors from Rock Auto for $66 each. I can get aftermarket refurbs for $37 each. Needless to say, I did NOT have the injectors replaced since the truck ran great and there was no indication whatsoever of a fuel problem. I took the truck to Champs in Creedmoor who I trust implicitly and it passed inspection as is. Apparently, Champs didn't find a $1700 injector problem. I will NEVER bring a vehicle to this shop again! I don't know if the front desk guys get commissions for repairs but it would explain a lot base on the amount of money I've spent there. I'm only sorry that I had to give them 1 star. My preference would be 0 stars. I'm not some dipshit who has never turned a wrench. I've worked on my own vehicles for 40 years. My surgery made this one impossible. I now know who I can and can't trust.

Not a good experience here. Stopped in to get a tail light replaced, there was already a wait and…read morethe waiting room now has only 5 chairs. Finally, my car gets pulled in and see my hood up. I asked one of the techs, "You aren't changing my oil, right?" He looked at me like I was nuts and said no, just tail light replaced. Hmmm ok. Next thing I know, I hear him tell another tech, "It's just a tail light on bay 3!" Ummmmm In the meantime, the franchise owner (I think?) comes in and he's speaking to another Jiffy Lube on the phone and he was very brusque. He hangs up, then the tech walks in and is patiently waiting, the owner says "Do you need to get in here?" He didn't speak to the tech very nicely, it was just not professional, especially with a waiting room full of customers. The man was driving a black Cadillac, if that's the owner, not sure. Finally leave and I get about 1/4 mile down the road and my car tells me my hood is open. I pull over and sure enough, they had opened my hood for no reason! A tail light has NOTHING to do with needing to open the hood. I'm so glad that I was paying attention because I really think they were planning on changing the oil without my permission. I should have just gone to the dealer, these quickie places are just no good and have piss poor customer service and pretty sketchy techs. Skip Jiffy!

My husband asked them to put air back in the tire and stated that we would pick it up. When we arrived, the tire was still flat and clearly had not been moved since we dropped it off. They handed my husband his keys and said nothing else. We won't be returning due to their dishonesty and terrible customer service skills.

I was told, "we're just about to get to yours, it's next -- should be about an hour" and that they were backed up from the day before. I understood and waited patiently. At 3:30pm, I called again and was told, "about 40 more minutes -- we'll call you in 20 minutes to update you on the bulb, then we'll do the oil change." By 4:30pm, still no update. I went in person and found my car sitting with the hood up -- untouched, with no one even near it. When I asked the desk about it, I was told, "we're about to start on it, can you give us 40 minutes?" In shock, I asked if they had even started yet. He shook his head no. So not only was my car untouched after nearly six hours, but I was also misled multiple times on the phone into believing they were starting or already working on it. I asked for my keys back and left. And, just like another recent reviewer mentioned -- there was no apology whatsoever. Do NOT go here if you expect timely service. I understand shops can get backed up, but being strung along for six hours for something as basic as an oil change and bulb replacement is completely unacceptable.

I am happy to report that the service here has significantly improved and returned to the high…read morestandards I have historically come to expect from this location. My most recent visit was specifically for their complimentary tire maintenance checks, and the team handled it flawlessly. I stopped by for a quick, free air check and had them examine my tire tread wear right before heading out on some major road-trip excursions. The entire process was incredibly efficient. The technician was fast and polite and made sure all four tires were perfectly inflated and performing exactly as they should for highway driving. The free air check is incredibly easy to navigate. You simply drive onto the property, follow the clear directional signage to the designated area, and wait. Someone will come out to assist you shortly. You do not even need to get out of your vehicle to get your air topped off. At my last tire rotation, I am glad to note that this rotation went better than my prior experience. The service bay crew was highly organized, working with the exact type of speed and precision that originally made me a loyal customer. Just like my earliest visits to this shop, I was in and out of the service bay in no time. It is great to see this team regain its momentum and deliver fast, convenient, and top-tier customer service again. Service has improved here and returned to what I've come to expect.

How convenient that it wasn't dead last week , this week or the second before they got the car. 2/10 won't recommend. They say the sensor wasn't pressurized while changing the tire. Sounds like something a TIRE SHOP should know and avoid doing, so yes, I guess it wasn't "pressurized" because they had the tire off and caused it. Learn from my mistake, go elsewhere. Update: They contacted me and offered to replace the sensor, and told me to give it a few miles for the sensors to catch up, and to come in if it hadn't. At this time the tire in question is lower psi than the others, which may not be a problem--more of a note to self, so I'll give it a few more miles to see if it catches up with the others or perhaps have them add more air if needed. So I'll change my review to 3.5 stars, mostly because I've been using out of state Discount Tires for years with multiple vehicles, and have never had a problem, so I wouldn't want this one review to reflect my past experiences.
