Kwik Kar Oil & Lube

Super friendly, helpful and took time to explain what I needed to know in layman’s terms

My son went to Kwik Kar to get an oil change and the technician told him he didn’t need an oil change but he needed new front brakes at a cost of over $ 200. That seemed high and we really felt he needed an oil change so we went to Firestone for a second opinion. The Firestone tech said the brakes were in great shape measuring a 9, but the oil was really dark and recommended an oil change so we got the oil changed there. I felt Kwik Kar didn’t know what they are going or were trying to take advantage of a teenager.
I will never go there again and will make certain to let my friends know to stay away as well.
Very unprofessional and technicians are not trained or knowledgeable. Stay away!

I’ve been going in here for years. Always great service! Fast!
Today I went in needing an oil change and an inspection. The new law requiring inspection before registration has everyone trying to get their car inspection now. It is crazy!
I arrived this morning at 1030am. I fully expected to be there an hour. Rico greeted me. I told him I need oil change and inspection. He said OK. So they did my oil change first. As I was waiting, I noticed Chad Key looking at my car. Chad started the inspection before my oil change. So when they went in for the oil change, I thought ‘OK oil first then inspection. The guy calls me to the counter and says ‘Ford EDGE is ready.’ I said I need an inspection too. He said ‘You’re all ready to go.’ I was like ‘Really?’. They did both oil change and inspection in 22 minutes! Unreal! I was in and out of there in less than 30 minutes.
I’m telling you, for oil changes, inspections, this place is the BEST!!!

I’ve been taking my cars here for over 9 years — GREAT SERVICE and ALWAYS fast, easy, and efficient. Great team — I even drive 10 miles from Love Field area since moving just to bring it back to them for oil changes/​inspections.

I’ve been waiting to write a review after coming here a few times. Each time is the same — AWESOME! I am quickly greeted and asked what service I need. I hand over my keys and I never have to wait long. I’ve had oil changes, state inspections, air filters and wipers changed. Each time, the service is quick and efficient. And they do great work!
The other thing I love is that they aren’t constantly trying to «sell» me services I do not need. They do mention what needs to be serviced based on the car’s maintenance manual, but they never «push» for anything. They mention it and let you decide. They are never trying to force you to do absurd services you never really need. (That is one thing that is a major Pet Peeve of mine.)
Customer service is amazing! So hard to find these days. They are so friendly — From start to finish. I highly recommend this location for your car services /​needs.

Showed up with a Living Social free oil change coupon which apparently was not valid for that location. Even with the misunderstanding, I was taken care of. I would definately go back.

Doesn’t take groupons, and not particularly friendly about saying so. I felt welcomed to leave.

Had my state inspection done here today. They were busy but got it done in the time they said. Easy to work with and didn’t try and up sell or claim there were any problems with the car. No fuss. Place is clean and staff is polite.

Belated review but I stopped in at this Kwik Kar location in October to get an oil change before heading out of town. I had a bad experience with them in 2004, mechanic forgot to put the radiator cap on and my vehicle overheated and died on the way home), so I was a little weary of using them.
I dropped my truck off, went to eat at Chick-​fil-​a and they were done by the time I got back. The mechanic seemed fairly honest. The air filter was new, he confirmed that. He also confirmed the transmission fluid was new, which I also knew already.
Running semi-​synthetic oil they marked my service interval at 4,000 instead of the 3,000 which most oil and lube places do. Normally, conventional oil is 3000 and fully synthetic is 5,000.
About due for another oil change but on the fence about using this location or not. Mainly because they use Pennzoil and I would prefer to use the manufacturer recommended oil and filters since seem to perform better than others in independent studies.
I forget the final price but it was around $ 60. Part of that is probably the semi-​synthetic oil and part of it was probably the fact that my vehicle takes 7 quarts and most $ 39.99 oil changes only cover up to 5 quarts.
The only negative (and enough to knock off a full star) was they wanted me to consider doing an engine flush/​injector cleaning. Dealers try to sell this service as well. They are two of the top 5 scams mechanics try to pull on consumers. You only need these services if your vehicle is actually having performance issues from dirty injectors or sludge build up in your vehicle. Most places charge over $ 100 for these services but the cost of materials is a fraction of that. I’m sure they’re making money off some people who don’t know any better.

I went here over lunch to get my state inspection renewed and I loved it.
1– They forewarned me that they would be slammed and it would take 45 minutes in case I didn’t have time to wait. (1 star for them for forewarning me and letting me know)
2– They are located within an easy 30 second walk of Chick-​Fil-​A so I had lunch there (1 more star for them)
3 — They are also located within a 1 to 2 minute walk of Lowes, so I went over there and got a couple small random things that I have been needing (1 more star for Kwik Kar)
4 — I returned to Kwik Kar exactly at the 45 minutes mark and they were just finishing. Imagine that, telling someone it will take around 45 minutes and actually having it take around 45 minutes (worth 10 stars, but I give them 1 more)
5 — Finally they were really nice throughout (again worth 10 stars but they only need one more to get to 5)
It was definitely the best oil change/​inspection place experience that I have ever had. It really did make my day.
