In fact I didn't know it was something they did. So I got the oil changed, my air filter was bad so I got a new one, I didn't want to replace it myself which I've done in the in the past I know they charge probably $10 more than if you bought it at AutoZone. But I just didn't want to go through the time doing it myself. I was talking to Austin and letting him know about problems. We talked about cars in general and cars that get high mileage which mine is one of those, 11 years with 255,978 driving a total of 90 miles to work and back Monday through Friday He was really good , he was polite, besides the air filter you really didn't try to upsell me, which I appreciate. I sure like this Valvoline much better than the New Braunfels where I used to go but a little too far for me. Look them up on yelp and there's a couple of coupons. I was able to get $15 off my oil change .If I'm ever in Austin and I need an oil change I'll certainly go back to this Valvoline.

5 stars Outstanding Service from Shane at the Brody Lane…read moreJiffy Lube - Truly Exceptional! I stopped in at the Jiffy Lube on Brodie Lane on Tuesday, April 7th, 2026 around 2pm for a routine oil change, and I have to say, the level of service I received was far beyond what I expected from a quick lube stop. From the moment I pulled up, the team was efficient, professional, and genuinely attentive. What really stood out was associate Shane. He went above and beyond to make the entire experience smooth and reassuring. Shane took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the Signature Service Oil Change, including what he was checking and why. He walked me through the multi-point inspection results with clear details--no upselling pressure, just honest, helpful information about my vehicle's condition. His knowledge, friendly demeanor, and attention to detail made me feel like my car was in truly capable hands. The service was completed quickly without feeling rushed, and everything was done with care and precision. The bay was clean, the staff was courteous, and I appreciated how Shane double-checked that all fluids were at the proper levels and that the cabin air filter and wiper blades were in good shape. He even offered practical driving tips for the upcoming weather, which showed real thoughtfulness. In a world where many auto service places feel transactional, Shane and the team at this Brody Lane location delivered outstanding, personalized service that made me feel valued as a customer. If you're in the area and need an oil change (or any quick maintenance), do yourself a favor and ask for Shane--you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be returning to this location and recommending them to friends and family. Huge thanks to Shane for turning a simple oil change into a five-star experience!

I had purchased my tires from them when I was getting Big Blue serviced. Wifey had been to our local Firestone and was always treated well, so popped up. Walked in the door and immediately greeted by William at around 10am. I mentioned what the issue was and he immediately jumped into action and asked if he could look himself. Out we went and quickly he found a screw in my tire. Immediately put me at ease and told me that this was completely fixable. Back inside he put together the service ticket. It would be about an hour wait and perhaps 30 minute fix. My bad, I didn't bring my laptop, since they had complimentary wifi. Also, some complementary cold water, I did rue the fact I had left my Yeti with coffee siting in my office at the casa. I pulled up a seat and nestled in. Discovery on the TV had Oak Island Treasure show, what a lot of bollock that is. People watching as almost as good as being in the Social Security office. Entertained myself and then was called up to look at what all they had found. A very soft offer to add a new air cleaner, oil change and one other item, which I declined. I mean everyone does this, no matter it being a little irritating to be reviewed. Just stood my ground and politely declined. I was trading my car in the next month or so for the new 2027 QX65, so these items would be taken care of by the dealership. I noticed my car up in the bay and not to long after it scooted by to be parked and picked up. The only tiny little suggestion, it was another 15mins after the car was parked, that the ticket came up to William to check me out. He was also with another walk in at that point. Pro-tip, next time I will get there when they open, since I think this tire patch would have only been 30 mins. It overall was a pleasant experience, it does do a lot of walk up traffic, so plan accordingly. You could leave your car with them and they will call you when ready. I'll be back if needed! Out the door for $32, job done!

Review for Firestone Complete Auto Care - East Palm Valley Blvd, Round Rock, TX…read more I recently took my daughter's vehicle to this Firestone location for their advertised $19 A/C service check. The service manager claimed they could not perform the check because their machine "detected two types of refrigerant" in the system. This raised red flags, so I contacted several other Firestone locations and spoke with multiple managers and A/C technicians. Every single one told me they had never heard of a system that can detect refrigerant type in this way. When I called the general manager of the East Palm Valley location to address my concerns, he became argumentative rather than offering a clear explanation. The impression I was left with is that this store uses the $19 A/C check as a bait-and-switch tactic--claiming there's an issue, then telling you that you need more Freon before they can proceed, which conveniently raises the cost to over $400. My advice: be cautious. Ask questions, get a second opinion, and don't fall for upsell tactics that don't make sense.

After their inspection, I approved additional repairs and paid $2,006.64, picking up the car on Nov. 17. Within days, the leak was worse. Instead of one leak, I now had two, along with a strong burning-oil smell while driving. I returned on Nov. 21 and was told it was just leftover oil and that everything had been cleaned. That same evening, I discovered the car was leaking from three different places. I brought the car back again on Dec. 2. After no communication all day, I called and was told they found another leaking gasket and wanted an additional $400. I was also told that "oil leaks are tricky on Volkswagens," but a properly diagnosed repair should not turn one leak into multiple new leaks in a matter of days. At this point, I declined further work. I paid over $2,000 and ended up with a car in worse condition than when I brought it in. I requested a refund in writing and never received a response. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this shop.

Starter receipt: You told me you would provide a receipt for the starter you purchased and installed. I have never received it, not in person, by text, or by email, despite requesting it several times. 2. Claimed oil leak: You told me the original starter failed because of an oil leak and said you would send me an estimate for repairing that leak. I never received the estimate, and I have since had the vehicle checked and was told that the claimed oil leak did not exist, nor was the cause of the starter failure. 3. Final price: The price I was originally given was $515, but I was ultimately charged $624, an increase of $109. I have not received an explanation or documentation accounting for that increase. Preferably, we can resolve this directly. Please provide the starter receipt, an explanation for the additional $109 charge, and a refund of any amount that cannot be accounted for. If the $109 difference is refunded and the documentation is provided, I will gladly update this review to reflect that the matter was resolved. I have attempted to address these issues directly before posting here and would still welcome the opportunity to resolve them.
