Fast Sticker & Lube

This place is AUTOMOBIL SERVICES LLC at 2621 N. SHEPHERD Houston, Tx 77 008 don’t be fooled by the picture. AVOID THIS PLACE!!! I’ve been waiting for 2+ hours already. Take your money somewhere else. These people don’t know what they’re doing

They got my inspection done quick and their was a comfortable place to sit and wait.

Avoid this place unless you have half a day to spend here. Bottom line, I was told it would take 30 minutes to charge the A/​C and 2 hours later I am still waiting.
Came here for inspection also and told them I had battery changed yesterday. I was concerned it reset and the emissions reset. Told to drive it 20 miles and come back. Did that then told it takes 300 additional miles to be able to inspect.
Avoid this place! If you want to complain call 832−292−9381. Good luck

Until today I used them only for inspections which usually go fast without drama. Today I went for an oil change for which I called in advance about price. After the work was done, the $ 1.50 oil filter became an $ 8.50 filter. I told them I didn’t appreciate a bait and switch and got excuses and arguments. When did arguing with an angry customer become a good idea?
BTW, they have changed their phone number and name to Automobil Services LLC, likely to get away from the bad reviews. It’s the same group of people.

These guys seem to be honest. It’s a small shop. Their prices are good, but when I got my car back from a free estimate it smelled like someone was smoking in my car, and I don’t smoke. I went in for an alignment and decided against it because they cannot provide a print out of the manufacture measurements for the camber, caster and toe like all the other wheel alignment places. They offered to take pictures, but that wouldn’t help me very much.

I was in the need of an inspection, so because I live close I stopped by this business. I pulled in behind a gentleman who waited in his car for an attendant to come over and help him. The attendants just looked as us both and never came our way. We both were appalled. The gentleman ahead of me mentioned that the attendants used to come out to your care to wait on you. The gentleman had just visited the business last week. but this time, there was NO notice and no warm customer service offered to help customers who were use to the previous way of doing business. (First time — shame on me).
I saw that Fast sticker and Lube does oil changes and I needed an oil change like last week. So, I returned to Fast Sticker & Lube. (Big mistake)
This time everything went smooth until my car was returned to me. The attendant had laid a paper mat on the floor, but had done NOTHING TO PROTECT MY SEAT COVERS FROM THE OIL ON HIS CLOTHES. THE OIL FROM THE ATTENDANTS’ CLOTHES WAS NOW TRANSFERRED TO MY SEAT COVERS. Not only was the oil from his clothes transferred, but also the dirt from his boots and the oil from his hands were all over my car. The car was returned to me with the dirty mat still on the floor, and in addition there was dirt on the running board, oil on the steering wheel, dirt on the door handle and on the gear shift.
So, THE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE HAD NOW TURNED INTO BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE.
I complained, but the woman at the desk spoke very limited English and offered me a free oil change (like I want to return for more bad service). Some folks came out and attempted to clean the oil from my seat covers to no avail. (Second time — shame on me).
I even called the complaint number posted. The folks acted helpless and again offered more bad service.
So, unless you do not care about the condition of your car … I would not visit this business again.
1^st time — shame on them
2^nd time — shame on me … there won’t be a 3^rd time!
Fast really means
We are going to Fail you At every chance we get to Show That we don’t care about your business!
I vote with my dollar and this place earns a HUGE thumbs down!

I went here to get a coolant flush and the event was terrible. It took much longer than quoted. When my car was given back too me, the lady left her lunch taco in my truck, had the air on that was not on when given. She left the paper floor mats in, parked sloppy and when it was time for me to get my keys, they were left in the keyhole in my door in the parking lot. I will never do this again. Beware… cheap, but for a reason.

Quick friendly service! Tina was helpful both on the phone and in person.

I’ve only ever come here to get oil changes and inspections. I am a no frills person when it comes to these things as well as impatient. They get me in and out promptly without trying to sell me on everything else they do. They gave me a brochure and at top it says «we’re more than just oil changes and inspections» — that may be, but that’s all you’re getting from me. I support local businesses which is why I have been bringing our cars here. I will let the mechanic in the family take care of me on everything else. You get what you pay for — this is a mom n’ pop lube joint not Sterling McCall.

Good olé greaseball shop. They treat you well and fix what needs fixing.

In and out in about half an hour, waiting area has indoor and outdoor seating (outdoors was nice for soaking up some sun). I know my car is a no-​brainer on passing the inspection, so I didn’t expect any drama and didn’t get any. Guys at the counter were friendly.
Nice thing is they have separate line-​ups for cars for those just wanting a sticker vs. those in for an oil change or a repair. Expedites the process and means you won’t get stuck behind the guy trying to decide if he needs a wheel alignment done.

I used to love this place… until my last visit. I have been getting my oil changes done there for at least 2 years and they always told me they were using a synthetic blend oil. That was a great price at $ 18 for my car and $ 21 for my wife’s SUV. Then, on my last visit, the new guy told me the $ 18 oil change is for regular oil and the synthetic blend was $ 28 and he said it’s always been that way! To top it all off, he tried to tell me my inspection sticker might be a fake, but that he could do my inspection and put a real one on for me! WHAT? I left and won’t be going back!

DON’T GO. Rude, in a hurry and not customer friendly. Went in for a State inspection. I’m new to TX just moving from another state so I just got TX insurance. They would not take my spec sheet from the insurance company because it was not an insurance card but the insurance company told me it was my only proof of insurance till I get my card in the mail. I had to call the insurance company for approval again — even my insurance guy said he never had someone refuse the spec sheet. Then he failed inspection — windows tinted too dark — TX law 25 and I was at 20. I paid good money to get the tint professionally done and they were in guidelines when installed… Not happy.

Drove up to the place, advertises $ 17 oil change. Talking to the guy, he won’t do 5w20 for that price but can for $ 27. Fine, I agree and sit in the tiny waiting room for about 30 min or so.
Get the car back within a reasonable time, but some basic items you would expect to happen during an oil change like checking the tires, belts, battery etc — none of that happened. Had leaks in two tires so I knew they were low and still had to pay to air them up at a gas station the next day, and then saw a lot of corrosion on my battery terminals that you’d think they would have caught and at least mentioned to me.
Will just go to a more thorough place and pay an extra $ 5 for the kind of service you generally take for granted when you don’t change your own oil.

These people make me sick!
I brought my car in to this place because i seen the signs with what i thought is reasonable.
Well turns out i guess its true you get what you pay for! Turns out i was a victim like another person i seen wrote a review, they did me the same way about my alignment, I spent nearly $ 600 dollars on ball joints and other stuff along with inspection and alignment only to get my car back with the same issues but worse! They came up with a story saying I had to replace other parts to fix my alignment. I left unhappy…
I called back to complain about my issue that I still had, then they said bring it back, I took it back 4 times. The second time, they told me it would only be 45 mins but that was a big fat lie, thank god I didn’t have to go to work or do other things, I would have been super late. I ended up being literally the last customer out of that place! I thought for awhile they must have forgot about me.
They had a younger guy pull up my car and he couldn’t explain to me why they took so long with my car and that he felt it was ok! I found my gas gauge wasn’t in it’s original place! (Where the heck did they have to take my car for a test drive too? BFE? Plus they are messy most of my interior was smudged with oil stains. Then the young guy stated again: I guess it’s ok like that!
NO! it’s not ok! It’s not fair I spent my hard earned money to this business and left unhappy!
10/​26/​2011 Update: nearly a month later and my steering column isn’t right. Still unhappy!
I called back again to see by chance maybe they will help me.
They told me to bring my car back to them today only to tell me that they were going to look at it. Saying my gear box is messed up! Why couldn’t the young guy that worked on my car tell me that
And waste my time?
Somethings not right! My steering wheel wasn’t crooked when I took it to them in the first place. Then they came out with crap saying well maybe your car was in an accident, no it wasn’t in a darn accident, I would have known!
I own the darn car! Duh!!!
One thing is for sure they sure know how to put a fake smile on their incompetent faces!
Watch out for you, your car and your money!!!

Went here for an inspection and was out of the building in under 10minutes. Fastest inspection I’ve ever had-​yay!

I tried this shop out yesterday for inspection. They got me in and out within 30 minutes even though there was still a lot of people waiting for their cars. The car passed so it was a quick painless experience. Inspection was ~$ 40.
I am definitely coming back to get tire alignments for $ 40 from this place. That’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen.

This is pretty much a no-​frills auto shop. Need oil change and inspection done cheap and correctly? This is your destination. You aren’t going to get all the extra services such as vacuuming and windshield wiper fluid top off, but you are paying way less than $ 30 for an oil change ($ 17 actually). State inspection is done for under $ 40.
As the name suggests, Fast Sticker & Lube is pretty quick. One time I had to wait longer than normal, so they knocked a few dollars off the price. Why the abnormality? This is my only beef with the place: there is no structure on the order in which they service your car. I saw people come in after me and leave before me. It all depends on who you hand your keys too. The interior waiting room is kind of dingy, but you can sit outside on the plastic chairs and enjoy the smoggy, humid Houston air if you prefer.
