Wow what a pitstop! I had my entire service under 10 minutes and I was able to pull right in on a Tuesday morning at 10:00am. The crew helped me check my dashboard or any service notifications to reset and noticed I had my tire notification on. So they added air in my tires, reset my tire notification light and my oil change setting. I'm pretty busy and always on the go so I appreciated the speedy service and customer service. Well worth the ease vs doing it yourself at home or waiting for a family member to do it. I recommend! Local business too. read more

Insta Lube was fast and reliable! I needed a quick oil change before a long road trip and couldn't find any mechanics that could complete the job same day. The VW dealership, Jiffy Lube, and Firestone quoted me ~$100 for an oil change, which seemed a bit high to me. All three also told me it'd take 2-3 days to complete which also seemed kind of suspect. Insta Lube took care of my oil change in 10 minutes and cost only $45. They gave me the choice to stand in front of my car while their mechanic changed the oil just in case I wanted to make sure the work they were doing was legit - it was. I recommend Insta Lube to anyone wanting to get their oil changed and avoid other places that charge double (or more!). I will definitely be back in ~3000 miles. read more

Stay away from this place. The last time I went there they forgot to install my front undercarriage tray. As I drove home a portion of the tray and screws flew off in the freeway then the back portion was rubbing on the floor while I drove all the way home. I took it back to them numerous times and the owner would not take responsibility for the damage made to my car. He initially offered to cover $100 for the repair, and I told him to pay for the full repair. That's when he started yelling and telling me to take him to court. Owner is a shady old guy and have no clue on how to maintain cars properly. I'll be filing complaints with all gov agencies on this business. read more

Still coming here and still loving these guys for their quick service! All the workers are so nice and sweet. Can't imagine going anywhere else. Thank you all read more

Came here on a Sunday morning based off reviews on yelp! Honestly they were great. Its a drive through oil change, so you do not have to leave your car. They tell you all the pricing up front and they are extremely quick. Entire oil change took about 10-15 minutes. Everyone was extremely friendly and the price was reasonable! Will definitely be back here. read more

Didn't think they'd be able to see me when I called at 1200 on a Saturday, but they proved to be the fastest and cheapest oil change in the area. Took them about 10 mins to complete and were very humble to work with. read more

Changed my oil in my new little car and the filter blew off on the way to work going across the bridge, loss all my oil and motor seized. This company refused to do anything because I didn't have the filter that came off. Screwed me over completely. Don't have any way to get to work. Insta lube just don't care and are not being responsible for their workmanship. Don't go here people!!!!! read more

Great value, and very quick service. Wait in your car while they do your oil change. Was in and out within 10 minutes. Full synthetic oil changes $95 out the door. Better price than all the other oil change locations I called. read more

This has be been my go to spot since 2015 they have never missed or failed me. I always get my oil changes on my Honda Civic and it's always consistent. They treat me with so much respect and they're always so kind. Chris is the man! He always takes care of my two cars. These guys are affordable and they always show me my oil and parts when I need something replaced. I drive all the way from Union city. There's a spot near my house but those guys a rip off ( 10 minute oil change) still waiting on the refund the owner claimed to give me 3 years ago. Come here ! I promise you it's much faster and cheaper than any other spots in the area! read more

Service Date: 1/16/24 9am When I initially called to receive a quote and appointment from Instalube a week prior, I gave them my license plate number they told me it would cost $250 to SERVICE MY TRANSMISSION. In person the quote changed to 475 and I had to secure my appointment with a deposit. Compared to other prices I was okay with that. He told me that the service would take 5 hours and two machanics to complete the job. The Day of service on 1/16/2024, The manager tu had me sign the paperwork and I noticed the price increased and was $575 compared to the remaining $375 was only supposed to pay. I really needed my Transmission Service and trusted him and his mechanics. Me and my children waited at the shop for about 15 minutes. He told me the service would only take 2 hours, although he initially said it would take 5 hours to complete. I walked with my children until my vehicle was ready. When I returned he was explaining that my headlight was out and my battery was low. He said that my car has some electrical issues. Tu then said my price was $375, back to my original quote because he noticed I'm a mom and want to help. Started talking about his grandkids. After payment he did not hand me my keys. My car was started and ready for me to drive off. When I turned the corner my driver handle swung out towards me. I went back to the shop to explain the damage they caused and my safety issue. He told me to come back so he could take a look and fix it the next day. I went back the next morning and spoke with the son of his who broke my door handle. He said it was an electrical issue. I explained my car fire was never damaged until Insta Lube serviced my car. The man hands were shaking. I told him I understand accidents happen but you're responsible to repair my door. The dad/ manager Tu came out and told me to come back at 1pm. I returned, he then said it's normal wear and tear & the if I buy the part he would repair it for $99. Clear act of racial discrimination. Insta Lube service is not trust worthy. They let me drive off knowingly that they damaged my car and left me unsafe. Now I have to unlock my door, roll my window down and open my driver door from the outside. When I left I expected to give them a good review. I even gave Instalube a chance to fix what they broke. They refused accountability and they have cameras to prove I'm not wrong. Very Disappointed and unsatified with how they handled my consumer concern. Went to get my car serviced and left with a new car issue. read more

Insta Lube - This issue has nothing to do with electrical. The pin and handle needs to be replaced. - Auto Repair Near Me - Hayward, California

I love coming here, first the convenience and the price is amazing. All the gentlemen that work here are sweet and helpful. Highly recommend been coming here for 10 years read more

Hands down worth the price. So quick, oil change done in about 10 minutes. Stay in the car while the service is complete. Very friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend. read more

I usually try to make the drive back to SoCal to go to my boyfriend's uncles' shop. As a girl (who knows nothing about cars), I worry about people overcharging me for something as simple as an oil change. I called in to try to schedule an appointment the Friday before I brought my car in on Monday and they said they don't make appointments- you simply bring your car in. I was a little worried it would be super busy when I brought my car in, but they worked on it right away! They did my oil change in 5 minutes- even my boyfriend said that was the fastest oil change he's ever seen. The guys working on my car were so nice and friendly. We all kept our masks on and they followed COVID guidelines. I am very happy with the service & the price! read more

Quick, cheap and a good job! I was in and out in 10 mins and the price was right in my budget. Will return!

I learned about this place through my fiancé! Thank you babe lol! For the most part I am on the go and having a drive thru oil change around is great! Ever since I moved to Hayward, close to 3-4 years I started coming here doe my oil change, and it is always a great experience, fast and honest work. At times we even get candy while we wait! And the staff are so friendly that we even get to talk about sports! It is a great place for a fast and reliable oil change! read more

In and out in 10 minutes. They gave me two options for oil. Synthetic for $49 or fully synthetic for $7x. I opted for the cheaper one for my Honda Odyssey. Within minutes they finished changing the oil and showed me the dipstick has no oil on it which means my tank is out of oil down to the bottom. Yes I know. It won't happen again because coming here to get oil change is so easy. Will definitely come back. read more

I have been to this spot multiple times in the last 3 years. My experience has always been affordable, quick, and the staff are super friendly. I love this place and highly recommend it! read more

This place gave me one of, if not THE BEST customer service experiences I have ever had. I went to Oil Changers 20 days ago and paid $200 to have my oil changed on my Jeep Renegade. That is a lot of money, but they also put air in my tires so it was fine. FF to today. I woke up to a shaky car that was leaking oil all over the Bay Area by 7 am. The oil was clean and not burning but the car was nearly bone dry when my husband discovered it. In a panic I parked at the Insta Lube and waited until 8 AM when they would open. I was nervous. Terrified even. Who knows how much it will even cost just to get a diagnosis? What if this limited service shop can't help me? At 7:50 a man arrived at Insta Lube. He saw me and smiled, mouthing "good morning" as I waited in front of the locked shop. He was an older man with a very kind face and he moved with the speed of an athlete. I watched him open the shop in 5 minutes with fluid motion and efficiency. As employees trickled in he greeted them and they all got into their positions quickly. I noticed how well stocked and organized the shop was. The man with the kind face came to welcome me at 8AM sharp and told me to pull into the bay. He was so warm and concerned! I told him my issue and he assured me he would do his best. After bringing the guys up to speed they immediately got to work and quickly repaired the problem. Apparently the oil filter was old and the gasket was leaking. They replaced the faulty filter, refilled the oil and turned my check engine lamp off. I was so relieved that I could get the car fixed right away, I was ready to pay him well for such great service. When I went to pay, the kind-faced man fist bumped me and told me he appreciated my business so I didn't need to pay. I thanked him. I got back in my car and let it sink in, and immediately got back out to ask if I could swipe my card to tip the men that helped me. Another man (whose name I also didn't gather) approached me when he saw me looking confused. I begged him to let me pay a tip or something to show my appreciation. He said my smile was enough! I can't say that I've ever had better service. I also noticed a man waiting at the shop, even before I got there around 7 AM. I thought he was a customer, but it turned out he was an employee on his first day, showed up super early and got right to work like a champ. I'm going to assume they only hire the very best, to give the very best service, at the very best tire, oil and Lube shop around. THANKS SO MUCH INSTA LUBE!!!!! read more

You can sit in your car as they perform the necessary service. The staff is always super friendly. Reasonable prices. They're not deceitful and will not try to upsell you on additional services but they will give you their honest opinion. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I needed an oil change. Normally I don't write reviews for locations like these, but their services was phenomenal. The oil change was 10min or so. The gentleman were nice and made the process super easy. Will definitely be coming back for my next oil change. read more

Must try place! I was recommended to come here by a friend at work who's been coming here for years. We sat in the car told the guy we wanted an oil change, head light replacement, transmission flush, and a brake inspection. While getting our quote and paperwork ready they had alrdy changed the oil while we sat in the car! Super friendly staff! Extremely fast! Great prices! Instead of getting a few services and a quote. The rates were so great that I was able to get all the work done at once! Definitely recommend trying this place out before spending all your money at a chained own mechanic. this is now my new car service spot. And I'm commuting from San Jose. read more

Insta Lube - Highly recommended! extremely friendly service! Great prices and super fast service! - Auto Repair Near Me - Hayward, California

Came to Insta Lube on a Saturday afternoon and immediately got serviced. Oil change took 10 minutes tops and I was on my way. I'm completely blown away as other oil changers (Jiffy Lube, Big O' Tires, etc.) would take a minimum of 45 minutes or more. Definitely a great, quick spot if you need an oil change and have a common car (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, etc.). read more

Amazing and quick service. Very friendly staff. And so efficient. Just drive in. I had. I wait early afternoon in a Saturday.

Came here for an oil change and from the very beginning my experience was great. You don't have to get out of your car. They tell you right away the price for everything and it was way cheaper than any other place I've gone. $67 for oil change and a new filter. Plus they asked me if I wanted them to change my air filter for $20 and I said yes so total that I paid was $87. Still a great deal and the person who helped was very personable. read more

Rip off. Charged me $150 for stuff that costs $50-60 and a 10 minute job. I won't be coming back here again

Been coming here for oil changes for years now great service and value also very kind people

I was in and out in under 15mins, full synthetic like $169 but that's what having a German automobile is all about

I go here to change all four of my families cars and never have any issues or concerns. They're fast, and nice and always have the different oils I need for my specific needs. They're affordable and don't keep you waiting. Try to go after work before they close because Saturdays they are crazy busy! read more

Came here for a last minute oil change, they were about to close in less than an hour. The entire process was so easy, you don't get out of your car. The guys are super friendly and helpful. Whole process was less than 20 minutes for sure. Prices were just on point with my budget. Will definitely be back :) read more

The guys at Insta Lube are great. I've been coming to them for years with my standard gasoline engine vehicles and I just brought my new turbodiesel engine vehicle yesterday for my first oil change since purchasing. For my previous vehicles it was always about $80ish every 3,000 miles. For my newer turbodiesel it's $140 every 7,000 miles so I believe this is a decent value. The quality of service was excellent, they put the sticker on my door jam instead of the window as I requested and took the time to reset the service modules within my infotainment system, though it was a bit confusing he was able to get it all worked out. On top of this, I was only charged $120 due to confusion regarding the oil filter price and he didn't attempt to collect the other $20 because it was an error on their part. I will continue to bring my vehicle to this location, great guys. read more

1st time here! Great & quick service! Thank you Chris & workers. Was out in & out in 10-15 mins with no line. You can stay in your vehicle while getting the service done. Will definitely come back again. read more

Perfect customer service. The main guy he was very communicative and was honest about the process. I really liked his personality and I will never go to a different oil change. This will be my favorite one to go whenever I need one. read more

Great place to get an oil change! Quick, easy, convenient. Staff is friendly and respectful Highly recommend!

was just there to get my 2012 honda accord oil change and everyone there is so nice and friendly, fast and quick service, thank you!

Hands down the best oil change experience! I usually go to Midas next to Southland Mall to get my oil change but they are always so busy so I decided to change it up and try this place mainly because of the awesome reviews! The workers are super friendly and service was fast! Best part was that I didn't have to haul my kids out of the car for them to do their work. We drove in and there was a guy underneath who started working on the car while I handled all the paperwork! After selecting Full synthetic it was cool to see them open the cartons in front of you and fill all of them in. They showed me the oil stick before and after our service which was nice. They handed out lollipops to the kids and now my kids want me to bring them everytime we get an oil change. Overall best experience and I will definitely be coming back! read more

I've been coming here for the past 2 years now. They are super quick! Not only that, but they are efficient in what they do. They show you the before + after and tell you what they're changing, too. I brought in my own oil and filter, they only charged me $20. They also told me that my air cabin filter was dirty too, so they switched it for a new one for another $20. As I was leaving, my tire pressure light came on and they fixed it for free! They're so knowledgeable and have the best customer service!! I'll continue to come here and recommend others to come, too! read more

Fast service, thorough & very reasonably priced. Paid just $70 flat for Full Synthetic oil change w/filter (compared to $125 at Jiffy Lube). Plus I had the added convenience of remaining in my vehicle & observing the liters of oil getting poured out. To my new vehicle maintenance service provider: I'll definitely be back this time I'll be telling all of my family & friends. Thank you!!! read more

I went in for a simple oil change on a Saturday morning. Great service and vibe. Super simple. Super quick and great people overall. Especially the young man that I spoke to. Great guy and I hope nothing for the best for this company. Fully recommend and will be back! Thank you! read more

I really recommend this place they're really nice and they're really fast. Definitely I'm gonna come back
