    Oil Change prices
    Lexi O.

    Easy and quick to get an oil change, and the price was decent for what i needed. they also gave me a list of recommendations for my specific vehicle & it's amount of miles, which i appreciated. super nice to just drive in and i was done in less than 10 minutes. i was able to do it on my lunch break :)

    Even a thanks as you exit the car wash!
    Mallorie G.

    Fast oil change, friendly service, car wash included. A bit pricy but for the convenience, it's worth it. Enjoyed the monkeys swinging. It's a fun and cute touch.

    I have been a regular customer for the car wash at Drive & Shine. No more. Why? Well, I spent $25 hard earned dollars on having the interior of my vehicle cleaned. While this was not a full detail, at the very least I would expect a good vacuuming job and a good wipe down of the dash, doors etc. What will you get for $25 at this location? Excuses. Excuses why they did not vacuum the cupholders. Excuses why they did not clean or wipe down the interior of the doors. In fact, the owner/manager suggested that I read their sign to show me what they don't do for the $25. No thanks. I already know how to read. Perhaps you should learn how to clean the interior of a car. $25 and a $10 tip wasted. There are probably 10 auto detailing businesses within 5 miles of this location. My suggestion: Go to one of the other detail centers and get your money's worth. If you are looking for a good value, do not patronize this location.

    I'm surprised at the negative feedback on Levin Tire. Maybe they've address the issues that other…read morereviews commented on. I don't know. I do know that over the past two weeks, we've needed work done on both our vehicles and we received excellent service! What was outstanding about their service (and now sets them apart from the other auto service places in Valparaiso - namely Brown's Tire and Heinold & Feller) is that the folks at Levin didn't try to upsell my wife on anything else (such as trying to sell her two more tires, transmission fluid change, etc.). The people at Brown's Tire had told her that she need to replace the timing belt asap and that her car needed about $1,500 worth of other work done. When she asked the mechanics at Levin, they could have easily played on her concerns by reiterating the apparent nonsense Brown's Tire told her. Instead, the assured her that, while she should have the timing belt changed in the future, it didn't need to be as an emergency. They also encouraged her to wait on the other items Brown's had told her needed to be done. On our second vehicle, we had purchased the fuel tank strap with the intent of putting it on ourselves. We weren't able to do that and I called Brown's Tire to see if they would put it on for me. Brown's told me that they would not put these straps on for me, that I would have to purchase the parts from them (they quoted me $150 for them; I paid $40 for them online) and then they quoted me another $150 for labor, for a total of $300. After my wife's great experience with Levin's, I thought I'd ask them. Not only were they willing to use the parts I had purchased, but they charged on $73 for the labor to do the work! Perhaps the biggest factor is finding an auto repair shop you want to stay with is trusting them. After working with Levin Tire's, we trust them and will be using them going forward.

Last month at the beginning of April, I was sexually harassed by an employee at this establishment. I will attach photos here of messages he sent me via my personal phone number by copying it from my profile that was made by the store. Without my consent or pre-approved knowledge this employee paid for a service that I was entrusting the storefronts mechanics to do. This is an older gentleman that had previously been speaking with me about his wife and elderly father in a friendly, NOT inappropriate, manner. Given the light hearted conversation, I consider his act to be one of generosity and age superior kindness. However, once I left the shop is when he began messaging me. As you can see from the messages, I offered to pay him back for this unexpected and unauthorized act he did of his own free will. He proceeded to request sexual favors in return for his decision to pay for my car service. I was dumbfounded and did not respond for a period of time, in which he repeatedly messaged me until I did respond. In response I reflected on how inappropriate the request was. I unfortunately had to encounter him again the next morning, as the shop's team was servicing my vehicle once more. He "apologized" over text and said he too would be professional. All in all this was a terrible, uncomfortable and outright disgusting experience that I had from this shop. It triggered experiences of sexual harassment and assault that have happened to me in the past year, recent and traumatic enough to induce a panic attack response the more I had to reckon with seeing this man again the next day. I would not recommend their services to anyone, but I ESPECIALLY would not recommend these services to any woman, young women especially, due to their own vulnerability. I was leaving the state and moving across the country, I was alone with no family near my home, and this employee tried to take advantage of that in a humiliating and degrading way. To all that read this, please stay safe.

Additionally, I was upcharged for an optional "full synthetic" filter for an extra $10, which was never mentioned to me. As a result, they offered to send me a $30 refund, as I had been in from out of town and could not return to the store. It was mailed promptly. I went to this location for an oil change and tire rotation. I had purchased the service from Groupon which clearly states "Full Synthetic Oil Change with Tire Rotation or Aquapel Glass Treatment". When I pulled up, there were no other customers in the bays, and I was directed to pull in. I shothis wed the employee I had a voucher from Groupon, he told me the price $153, and said the voucher would be applied at checkout. After watching 2 or 3 cars that arrived after me, get their oil changed and pull out, they finally got the tires rotated and the vehicle on the lift to change the oil. After another long wait, I was told that I was ready to go. The employee was unable to check me out due to the Groupon voucher seemingly not working. He said he would have to call someone, and after a few minutes informed me that his manager was on his way back to the location and would handle it. (The manager was out picking up a filter they didn't have for another customer who was stuck in this particular hell with me). At this point I had been there for an hour. Once the manager arrived, he attempted to check me out, couldn't had to place a call to someone else to figure out the system. He finally got it all put in appropriately, and much to my surprise said I owed $48 and change. At my surprise, he said that there is always a small amount left over with Groupon. I said that $50 wasn't a small amount, he shrugged and pointed to the paper he had used to guide him that stated all Groupons only covered oil, and nothing else. I pointed out the voucher clearly stated the tire rotation was included, he shrugged and said all the Goupon people say that. I told him that I had been here for well over an hour at this point, he shrugged again and said we have a lot going on. Obviously, someone is wrong with how the Groupon is presented (eitther Jiffy Lube or Groupon). Based on the slow service, and seeming indifference of the "manager", I'd guess it is their "policy" that is incorrect. At the very least, since this seems to be a known issue, they should inform the customer before the service not after. I would at least have had a choice on whether to continue. The Groupon cost $79, and the redit this location gives is $73, sure doesn't seem like a good deal. Either way, based on the extremely poor service, I would recommend staying far away from this location and their shady business practices.

On this occasion the tech attempted to upsell me on the oil change package from the basic synthetic blend to the next level. I told him no and he continued to pitch the upgrade. Then a second tech came over to begin the work and he also attempted to upsell me. Once again I declined and he also said he would have to note that I refused as my truck wasn't recommended to use the lower grade of oil. It's the same grade I've been using for years. I don't appreciate this high pressure sales tactic. Later I discovered they get a bonus for this upsell. Now it all makes sense. I'll go back again but if they attempt to upsell me I'll leave before they ever start. There's other options I can take my money to.

The workers at the valpo one are cool and all but if it takes 3 people to do one oil change I think it's time to put in an application in at the grocery store next door.

Sit down and grab some popcorn because we're about to spill some tea. Today is 8/23/2023. A family member of mine was having many troubles with their car, and was recommended by a friend to take it to C&C Auto Repair (said friend personally knew the owner of this shop). For the record: we'd had this car looked at and minor issues fixed by multiple mechanical friends. My family member had their car towed to this auto shop on 7/3/2023. The car sat in their lot for 2 weeks - without a call/email update from the shop to car owner - before the owner of the car called the shop to check in on their vehicle. The service writer at the shop briefly explained that the mechanics "have seen and diagnosed the car". Rightfully so, the owner of the vehicle was confused as to why no one had contacted them for an update to let them know the next steps. The service writer said they were going to order a part, and call with an update once it was received and the work was going to be started. Another week passes by - no call from the shop. The owner of the vehicle called and asked for an update. Apparently, they had "just gotten in the part and were waiting on a 'big job' to finish up before they were to start on their vehicle which was 'immediately next". Another week goes by, no update from the shop. Once again, the owner of the vehicle called and asked if they'd started on the repair yet. The service writer continued to give my family member the run-around, saying "we hope to get to it by the weekend". The weekend would pass, the owner would call again for an update the following Monday or Tuesday, to which the service writer would say "we hope to get it to this week" etc etc. This continued for an additional 3 weeks, each time the service writer promising the owner a call for an update, to which the owner was never contacted. The owner of the vehicle called for updates each time they ever spoke with the auto shop. Not once did my family member get a straight answer to anything, or get the chance to speak with the owner of the shop. A quick note to add: my family member relies on their car for their job. During this time, they've had to borrow multiple family members cars just to get to and from work. The customer service and decency C&C provided was next level UNPROFESSIONAL, and in my opinion, should be reprimanded for. My next step is to call the better business bureau to file a complaint.
