From the first new car I purchased back in 1998 to my latest purchase in 23. A 2024 Buick Encore, this is where I go for my oil changes. They check all the fluids and air filter. They even updated my maintenance on my dash screen which I had no clue how to do. I trust them, I appreciate their service, and I choose them over my dealership. Their prices are never inflated because I'm a woman. It's all good for us here, and I feel safe with them. They have my complete loyalty. Thanks Guys!! You rock!!! read more

Insta Lube - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Oakland, California

Ok so I needed an oil change. I came here on 11/5/19. I drove up there was NO CARS ahead of me good deal. I saw employees sitting down just chillin waiting on a customer to drive up I drive up and I am guided to drive all the way in. I explained I want an oil change and I ask for a menu of services they offer ect. Jiffy lube and other places usually give you a paper menu of services to look at so you can make an informative decision ect Well not this place I was directed to look at a wall to the right of me and the signage I could not see because of where it is placed. So to make a long story short I paid 50$ for an oil change and I personally feel that was a lot it was literally just an oil change and that is it. I asked if they can or could replace my filters they said NO but that they would clean it OKK but they never showed me that they actually cleaned them. I was told my transmission fluid was low so that was an extra 8$ so a total of 58$ for an oil change and to add transmission fluid and to clean a filter they never showed me was cleaned like how they show you the oil is clean. And that is the other thing you are basically forced into paying for synthetic oil and paying 50$ when my car based on the mileage doesn't need synthetic oil. It's my commuter car. The service is so fast makes you kinda wonder what If anything they really did. Don't get me wrong I do appreciate fast efficient service but when it comes to car stuff I would prefer quality work over anything else. read more

I came in yesterday with a Tahoe good convos and all nice people attending they were quick with it. So far I'lll forever come here, keep it uuup!!! read more

Quick and efficient, but everyone knows about this place so sometimes it will be a wait. So if your patient youll be good. Took about a 25 min wait and once they started on my oil change it was about 10 min. read more

This place is a scam. There is a guy there named Sonny who will insist you use synthetic without looking up the make, model and engine type of your car. After stupidly not looking in my manual for the type of oil needed I trusted him to put the right thing in. Turns out synthetic caused an issue with my engine and burned extremely quickly. When I called him to request nonsynthetic this time he started arguing with me, even after I told him the manual specifies it, citing his 30 years of experience of upselling synthetic. Would you like your car's engine damaged by a guy who is trying to eke out a few more dollars from you? This is your place. They deserve to go out of business. read more

Been coming here for years now and i'm always in and out of here before I know it. Nice and courteous guys. Thank you guys for always checking any fluids that my car needs! Always nice chatting to them, Family owned business for over 20 years now read more

Ive always used another shop for oil change for years. First time coming here because my sister has always brought her cars here and I see why. I can say this THEYRE LEGIT read more

Horrible experience way to overcharged for the rush job that they did they charged me $90 for four synthetic oil when you can go to Jiffy Lube and be offered a coupon on top of the only changing the oil they didn't wipe the windows check the tire pressure nothing so I just think for them to charge me $90 for a fast dollar tree service and they have a sign outside that says 3599 when clearly no one is getting in oil change for 3599 if they're charging $90 for a full synthetic do not go here it is a scam when I said the price was Too much and wanted to leave they said they already took the oil now so I could not drive off i'm fucking pissed and he better be lucky that she needs oil to even drive a car because I would've drove off with no oil read more

In and out quick easy fast and back on the road .just got my oil changed .now I'm ready to ride again

There are probably other's out there that want a pure and simple oil change without extraneous interaction. I let the dealer do my scheduled maintenance, and prefer to clean and maintain tire pressure to my own standards. Between regular servicing, I prefer to have someone else change the oil. For me, this particular Insta Lube was ideal. The oil was changed without any fanfare, brake and wiper fluid was checked, as well as the air filter. In less than 10 minutes I had paid and was on my way. They use good quality oil for the standard oil change which costs $31, tax included. (August 2008) Mobil 1 synthetic oil is offered for a total of $58 including tax. They show you the fill point on the dip stick to confirm the oil was filled. Simple, quick, easy and very well priced. They offer many other services, but only if you ask for them. This is my new favorite place for an instant oil change. read more

I was in East Oakland and was looking for a quick oil change. They were fast and friendly. Changed my oil and transmission fluid in under 10 minutes at a decent price. They even checked if I needed high-mileage oil. An upsell for them, of course, but no other oil change place had asked me before. They even gave me a cold soda as I left. That's the 5-star touch. read more

What is there to say? Well, they are efficient, kind, and do great work. They even let my boyfriend know he was low on coolant. Does ya girl know what that is? No. But they replaced it. They were quick and on point for price given how convenient it was. We will be repeat customers! read more

This place use to be good. I've been bringing my company vehicle here for years. LAST TIME IM EVER COMING BACK! I think it must have changed ownership or management. Nick the guy that serviced me with the paper work attitude was very bad after I would allow him to up sell me on services I didn't need. Also, tried to charge me to top off coolants in my truck when that service use to be free. THIS PLACE CHANGED FOR THE WORST. And it took more then 10 mins!!! read more

Fast and easy 50 bucks with coolant didn't have to get out of my truck. Guys were nice worked fast they check all your fluids. The service was quick check it out if all you need is an oil change. read more

I went here and got both of my cars oil changes. They say they can do it in 10 minutes and they did it in just under 10 minutes (per car). I do not know the quality of the services due to the fact it was just an oil change (They put the oil in, changed the filters, and also check your fluid levels and stuff.) Nothing spectacular, but quick and easy. They provide other services, but I just got the basic 27.00 oil change. read more

The guys here are always so friendly and efficient. I called in to see if they were open during this pandemic and the employee over the phone thanked me for my business and even gave me a discount.

I gave them a bad review months ago in which Yelp isn't allowing me to erase or either I'm not going to the right settings. I spoke to the owner/Manager Joe (very nice guy) which explained their policies which as a business owner I now understand. We reconciled our relationship which I'm happy about and will now be continuing to bring my fleet vehicles back here. read more

This place was profession, quick and easy. I got my transmission fluid drained and replaced and they were by far the cheapest for the good stuff. Also, got my oil changed for a good price. Definitely returning read more

I have come here since 1990 even though I now live in North Oakland . Good folks and reliable

First time coming here for an oil change and it was a good experience from beginning to end. The technicians were friendly, fast and efficient. For 50 bucks, I got their synthetic blend, a filter, and they even threw in a drain bolt and washer. The tech even topped off my brake fluid and coolant for no extra charge. Out of there in 12 minutes. Coming back for sure. read more

a bit over priced but service was pretty good. called a couple times and after the 4th time they finally picked up. they definitely need more staff since the line gets so backed up. other than that good service good people read more

This a long ass line today. But gotta get done.. 10 min Insta Lube my butt.. Lol.. Hope the service is great..

I just found 8 large bags containing several hundred Qt containers of oil left by this company in front of my business in West Oakland. I called to clear up the reason these are here and they were very rude and hung up. Don't use a company that trashes the streets of Oakland! read more

A couple weeks ago, I went here for an oil change. Not only was it very swift, the service and workers were amazing. They were all very welcoming and cordial. The price was certainly reasonable. This is definitely my preferred place for an oil change! read more

I have always taken my cars to this shop for years. In January I bought a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan and had my oil done no problem. Tried to have it done somewhere else in Oakland and they couldn't do it because they said the oil pan plug was stripped. Took it back to them they claimed they fixed. Went to LA for 4th oil light came on could not get it fixed for the same reason. Put 5qts in and drove home no problems. Log story short every time I have tried to get the oil changed somewhere else its always the same response....oil pan plug is stripped. Husband went back again today and they said it was stripped by the Oil Change/Car Wash on High street where he was turned away from and who turned me away for same reason a few month prior. And then refused to even do the oil change because he said WE stripped it and he made a mark on my car. Yeah right you do hundreds of cars and you remember MY car. I will be seeking legal recourse for the damage they did to my car. read more
