Ten Minute Oil ‘R Change

I’m done with these guys. Of three visits, only one has been a good experience. The first time I went in it was for a simple oil change on my wife’s car. It went fine — not that there was much to it. The second time I took an old car in for an AC recharge before we sold it. They couldn’t do it. I figured «OK, it’s an old car and the compressor could be the problem. Whatever.» But the last straw was today when I was told bluntly that they don’t work on my kind of car. «Well, now you don’t work on any of my family’s cars» is my response.

Rude, horrible service! I went for a state inspection, pulled in at 3:55 and was asked «what you want man». I asked for a state inspection, and the response was «man, it’s almost 5 o’clock, I ain’t taking another one, you gotta come back tomorrow». Then walks away. Horrible way to treat a customer.

They changed out my battery real quick even though that’s not what they usually do but it was an emergency since auto zone didn’t seem to want my business. Did a great job, decent price and it only took less than 10 minutes. Good people.

Got oil changed, car now leaking oil.
I’ll have to pay again for another oil change.

I needed a state inspection and this place happened to be conveniently on my route to work. I was hoping for a quick inspection so I won’t be late for work. So I pulled in on the back and one guy told me to move my car inside the shop. Once I was in, I saw a middle-​aged lady inside her car while her brakes are being inspected. She looked pissed and I don’t know why. Now I got out of the car thinking that they are gonna work on it right away. Now when I told one of the guys that I needed a state inspection, he told me to move the car to the back and it will be a 20-​minute wait. So now I have to drive back around to get it to the back. I was waiting again for them to start the inspection when one of their mechanics started shouting rather rudely that I had to wait in their waiting room. I did not understand what he was saying earlier but he did not have to shout. It was very rude and embarrassing. I waited for another 30 minutes when they finished the inspection. Now the state inspection sticker was placed crookedly and haphazardly. I was not very pleased with that. I cannot replace the sticker without ruining it. But having that crooked sticker being there for a year until the next inspection is really annoying. Also, there were white flaky stuff on the dashboard that looks like sticker residue. It is not very tidy work. I DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE NOR AM I COMING BACK!

BUYER BEWARE!
I was In the area and In need of an oil change so I pulled in to this place, a guy at the far end of the bay flagged me in. I popped my hood and got out of the truck. The guy quickly handed me a clipboard and told me to fill out a form that was on it as he advised me that an oil change was going to be some $ 135 for conventional oil or $ 185 for synthetic. I was quite shocked as an oil change at the Ford dealer is $ 99 (yes, it’s a diesel truck) and $ 69 with a coupon. Next he proceeds to tell me that the «API CJ4» standard on the oil fill cap means that it has to have synthetic oil and the total would be about $ 200.
I might have been born in the morning, but not this morning!
After a very short thought I told him it was a no go and rolled out on them. Places like this are what gives others a bad name…

As others have said it’s your typical oil change place. I will say they get 5 stars in my book for their quickness. The 10 min in and out was for real, which honestly I didn’t expect even though they said it. As others have said they told me I needed a flush and would «cut me a deal». I know places like this can’t survive on $ 19.99 oil changes only but I don’t like trying to be up sold on anything and everything. It sounds like they tell everyone coming through they need to get this done. I’m very skeptical that I actually did need it done and more that they just wanted to get more money. Also they tried to up sell me on the oil change to more expensive package as well.
If you’re looking for a quick oil change at a great price and can tell them no multiple times then go here. I would double check with another place about any additional work they say you need though.

I was surprised that the mechanic told me I needed a flush of some sort because of my «mileage». The odometer is in metric, (how many Honda CRV cars would really go to 220 mph???) so how is it a mechanic could not tell the car was in metric?
Other than that, quick work, great friendly staff.

Typical oil change place, without the typical smile and welcome. I went in knowing that my oil was way over due but I didn’t need a lecture from the mechanic. My engine needed flushed, I am not a car guy so I asked him to explain it to me, he kinda mumbled something. I went inside to the waiting area it was decent and they had the typical television talk show on. I was called out to the pit to look at my power steering they tried to cut me a deal but it is something I can do myself for under 60. Over all none of this bothered me but when the bill came I had a few «fees» that did not make sense. A fee to remove a plate to get to my oil… Shouldn’t that be in the $ 40 oil change? I like transparency In a company… While my car is running great I feel like they were a bit too «quick handed» for my liking.

Have you ever used a place because they were convenient even if they weren’t very good? Yeah, that’s the case with Ten Minute Oil ‘R Change. I needed to get my friend’s car inspected for the yearly Texas vehicle inspection (yes, my friend’s car, it’s a long story). I knew of a place near me that did inspection, but that was over 5+ miles away. So, I headed down Hwy 6 looking for somewhere with the tell tale blue, red, and white Texas sign of places that do inspection. I was happy to see that there were very few cars there and I drove right up. I was greeted and thought it was off to a good start. Then I was left to my own devices.
I did get my inspection. The sticker is on the car. So, why 2 stars?
1) They made me walk through the work area TWICE even though there was a huge sign that said «Customers not allowed in work area». I wasn’t given a choice, I was told that I had to walk over the car lifts to get to the office and back.
2) There were several guys just standing around chatting and doing very little work. They were laughing and having a good time while customers just sat around and waited.
3) It’s dirty. The waiting area had flies, it was grungy, and there was some awful talk show (Maury) about paternity tests and cheating spouses.
4) There is a big No Smoking sign on the counter, but the guy who worked the counter smoked up until he walked in the door and left his cigarette burning on the window ledge as he talked to me. He breathed his nasty smoke breath basically into my face as he took my payment for the inspection.
Yes, I got my inspection. Yes, it was quick. Yes it was convenient, but I would avoid this place. There are MANY other places to get inspections done… go somewhere else.
