Walmart Tire Lube Express

If I actually got service, maybe I could call it bad. However, they never did get around to actually changing my oil. I went in early in the morning and was told it would be complete in 45 minutes. When I came back in an hour, they had not started yet. Not only that, they just did not care.

Went here for s battery. Says they open at six am but got there then and no one arrived until 6:15. Then we were ushered inside where the lady Elaine was still not there .when she got there she was the most unpleasant person I have ever met! She was rude and never looked at anyone she was helping ! Finally they started

I visited this place around 5pm on a Wednesday to get my battery replaced. When I arrived I was told there were 3 cars ahead of me and the wait would be about 2 hours! I know how to install a battery but was going to happily let Walmart do it for free… but not after a 2 hour wait! So I just purchased the battery and did it myself.
The 4 stars are for the service I received at the customer counter. I wish I had taken notice of the woman’s name because she was very personable and helpful. She even offered me some gloves to protect my hands. Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a person want to come back.

I have been to this location a few times. Flat Tire fixed for $ 10!
Wait times are variable here. I have had GREAT LUCK AND BAD LUCK
They can be super quick and not so quick. Depends on when you bring your car in.
The pricing is decent for an oil change. I like that I can shop at Wal*Mart or go grab food at Vons of McDonalds while I wait. If you choose the right oil change package, they will vaccum your car and clean the inside windows.
I also had to have my head light replaced, it only cost me $ 7.50. Like i said, the pricing here is decent — — if you don’t mind waiting for the service. If you wait, they do have a small seating area to relax. Bring your book or iPad.
They open as early as 6AM some days. This can be quite convenient to arrive early before they get super busy. (I usually don’t plan that far ahead and come well after the line has gotten long!)

They did not call me when my oil change was done. I had to check in every 30 minutes after they said they’d be done with it. I came up to pay and the clerk called a name up for someone else even though I had come up first. In this moment, the clerk, who’s name is joe, just let yet ANOTHER person in front of me as I was gathering my other purchases. I will never be back.

Just had to leave a good experience review for one of the auto technicians, Miguel. I had a battery light on and thought it was time for a new one [about 3 years since last change] but had feeling it could be alternator too. Asked Miguel if he could check it (not part of their services). He and another tech checked it and confirmed battery was fine and alternator was bad. They saved me $ 80 by not replacing a good part and solidified my confidence of why I go to this location. I do my oil changes here and recommend people all the time. These guys are busy from open to close so keep that in mind if they take a bit longer… I always plan my oil change with stocking up on house goods so I’m not waiting without purpose. Good job Miguel!

For those who want to get the best for your buck on an oil change. Come here.
For those you don’t mind waiting and being patient. Come here.
For those who don’t care that customer service is not really important. Come here.
For those who are queens. Don’t come here.
For those who are inpatient. Don’t come here.
For those who are reading this, you’re probably at the Express Lane thinking what is the rush? Go inside and plan your day, while you spend your hard earned bucks at the Wallyworld.
Just like a design by nature, your thrifty thinking mind starts to walk around inside the store. While you wait. So be sure to waste your time at the McD and refilling your already McD cup in hand. Hint. Hint.
Go kill your time in the magazine and book section.
There you are waiting for your phone to be notified of your car. Yeah, right.
The fat: Plan ahead and spend your money, time and self dignity wisely.
The skinny: Early Birds on Sunday arrive here an hour early for nothing!

The manager is a total creep, always says he «lost» the key to the oil dump, so you have to take it across the street (straight out lazy). Didn’t know how to look up tires for my mustang and told me I could put conventional motor oil in my new Toyota, it takes synthetic or it will void the warrany.

Worst customer service there i swear !!! Wish i didn’t have to go to that Walmart but its the closest to my house !!! Grrrr !!

I thought it was a great idea it to buy tires here and get them installed. Money wise, it was rational. But on all other levels, dumb.
My intention was to get the two tires installed, as I had bought two new ones a few months earlier. The employee took a look at my car and said the old tires were still in great shape, and it’d be better to rotate the old ones to the front to wear them out faster. 30 minutes later, I am told that they can’t do the rotation because the tires are choppy. I proceed to tell them that I want to just install the new tires which is what I came for anyway.
After an hour passed, I check to see if they are working on my car. Nope. Few minutes later, I see it’s lifted, but technicians attend to other cars which checked in after I did.
It has now been a total of three hours since I have stepped in to get tires mounted. I could have done it myself in less than 25 minutes! Such a waste of time sitting here watching Maury. Very sad.
If I graded on service only, I’d probably give them a 3.5. But fast and speedy service? A 1!

Long wait. But great value. Only for oil though. Tires maybe. Balance and install no.

My girlfriend & I took our car here to get a headlight replaced & although they were very busy (about 5 or 6pm on a weekday, of course) they were relatively quick and the price can’t be beat! They also checked the tread on my tires and let me know how close they were to «legally bald.» Best of all was Phyllis, the very nice lady behind the counter. You don’t get customer service like this anymore folks! She was quick, efficient, informative, and went the extra mile to get us quotes on a few different tires that she knew we’d be purchasing at a later date. Even though I usually prefer giving my business to «the little guy», the convenience and exceptional customer service here will bring me back!

Ok oil change. The best part is that Walmart always has the best quart of oil prices I can find.
The next time I got my oil changed, we figured out a lot of stuff they did wrong:
1. They lost a screw from my bottom plate
2. They did not put a crush washer in the oil pan’s stopper screw. The just cranked the screw into the pan really tightly! This will cause the screw and screw-​hole to loose its proper threading if its done this way too much. (and cause a leaky oil pan…)
3. The filter they put in my car was a cheap paper type, when they really should have put in a better plastic filter. They did not replace any washers. The old washers and the cheap paper filter disintegrated before it reasonably should, causing oil to leak from the filter cap. This got all over my engine, and caused the belt to slip off! Caused a big headache for me leaving work one day.
Find somewhere that cares about your car more. This place gets 2 stars because its still a step above some of the chop shop oil changes that are out there!

I came here in Sept. 2011 to purchase 2 tires and had a great experience. I purchased two handsome Goodyear Vivas and I am very pleased with how they are performing so far.
What I am very pleased with is that I rolled in with a missing lug nut on my front passenger tire and when I got home and was checking out the tires I noticed one was added. (I recently replaced my brake pads in my garage and since I don’t have an air wrench they were not torqued sufficiently.) I now have all my lug nuts! Thank you Wal-​Mart!

BEST AND RELIABLE PLACE TO GET AN OIL CHANGE
–They’re my oil-​change heroes!
I needed an oil change – badly. as I was getting ready to make for a long weekend road trip. After many failed attempts and disappointment and failure at other places— Wal-​Mart really came through with flying colors.
Key Points:
+++Fast service: Took about 30 minutes or less to drive up, get the work done, walk around the walmart store. and leave. It was just that simple, as it should be!
+++ For a standard oil change (which includes oil filter replacement) it came out to $ 30.30 including tax.
+++They even include a few observations for little repairs in the receipt additional notes. Realistic ones; not crazy-​additional repairs that many auto shops tend to do to try to make a buck.
+++They’ve had a really good track-​record; my family has been coming here to get our car serviced for years. Great people and great quality service.
If you’re looking for high-​quality no-​frills and no BS service… this Wal-​Mart Auto Center is the place.
THANK YOU WAL-​MART!

Okay so maybe I am the idiot here. i was pressed for time and I thought that it would be a good idea to get my oil changed while shopped. Wrong…
I finished my shopping, got my car, and drove off. So far so good. For about a mile and then my transmission started slipping. Damn it. Good thing I was very close to my mechanic, so I drove straight there.
My mechanic discovered that those idiots at WalMart emptied my transmission fluid and didn’t replace it!
I went back to WalMart with photo evidence, and a letter written by my mechanic of findings and a receipt to replace the fluid (surprising that my transmission wasn’t completely destroyed.) After hours of negotiation with WalMart management I discovered that they record everything that happens in the oil change bay. It was only after the assistant manager reviewed this tape did they finally agree to pay for my transmission oil change.
In the end a valuable lesson was learned. Get your oil changed by someone who is properly educated. Even better, do it yourself.

I had my oil «changed» there 2 months ago. When I took my car to another spot to get brakes they noticed the oil was completely black. They said there was no way they could have changed the oil 2 months ago. Funny, becasue I paid for it!
Ya, Walmart is cheap, but they sell cheap oil, that is if they really change it like they are charging you for. Rediculous!
PS. the line to pay took 15 minutes. never again!

I need to preface this review with the fact that I loath going into the actual store itself. that being said, I can now tell you how awesome the service centers at WM are.
I have been taking my vehicles to Walmart and telling my friends to do the same for years. Not only are they the least expensive place to get an oil change but the service is generally friendly and very helpful. The basic oil change runs you $ 30 (used to be $ 19.99 back in the day… damned inflation) and they do all of this:
* Add up to five quarts of oil
* Install new oil filter
* Lubricate chassis (when applicable)
* Vacuum interior
* Wash windshield exterior
* Inflate tires to proper pressure
And fill:
* Transmission fluid
* Washer fluid
* Power steering fluid
* Differential fluid
And check:
* Electronic battery performance
* Air filter (except vans)
* Wiper blades
* Headlights
* Signal, brake and tail lights
«And then???»
I also needed new front tires this time around, I tell everyone to get their tires at Walmart. Here is the logic: You are driving down the road, I am talking worst case scenario so this happens while you are far from home on a road trip, and you have a flat/​blow out/​nail in the tire, you get the picture. Sure other places have warranties on their tires and they will replace them for free or pro rate… but do the other places exist EVERYWHERE? You will be hard pressed to find a town without a Walmart. Yes, Walmarts are a bit sparse in California compared to other parts of the country, but they are more abundant than say, Discount Tire. They are open 7 days a week too so if its a Sunday you aren’t SOL. So get your tires at Walmart and if you ever need them they will be near.

My car battery died on a Sunday AM — fantastic (eye roll). After having AAA jump it for me, I debated if I should go to Kragen or WM. Auto parts stores sort of sketch me out for some reason — well, I guess certain WM’s do too but I was hoping my choice of WM would have been the lesser of two evils in this case…
Wow — this place blew our socks off. Bf and I were in and out in 30 minutes! On a Sunday! I had mentally prepared myself for a few hours waiting and snickering at the WM merch and patrons, but alas, we got to hang out and see all the gadgets in the WM garage.
Everyone that helped us was fabulous. Super friendly and quick! Definitely give this place a go if you don’t want to get hustled at Kragen/​Pep Boys. Oh, ya, they install the battery for free (if you buy it there).
Thanks WM for not wasting my Sunday morn!

I’m generally lazy. Sure, I can change my oil myself, but why would I do that when I can take it to Wal-​Mart and have other people take care of it for me while I walk across the street to Fry’s to geek out over electronics and other media?
These guys are generally quick. If you’re lucky enough to get in there with no cars ahead of you, they can change your oil in about 30 minutes flat. Odds are you won’t be that lucky all the time, so be ready to sacrifice about 1.5−2 hours of your time at Stadium Driving Range/​Batting Cages or at Fry’s drooling over Megan Fox in 1080p Blu Ray on a new 120Hz flat panel.
$ 30 bucks will get you a full oil change, top off of fluids and a basic 15-​point inspection.
