I continue to utilize the drive through oil change service, even though it's a bit pricier. I justify it by telling myself that I'm paying more for convenience. That being said, I would strongly suggest that you don't fall for any of the add-ons or additional services they offer, and believe me, they will offer a ton. It's the way they operate. They will try to upsell you by offering multiple services and add-ons. Before I was aware of the grossly inflated pricing, I am ashamed to say I paid $41 for a new cabin air filter. They showed me how disgusting mine was, and I have allergies, so I went for it. To my dismay, a quick amazon search showed me that I could purchase my own brand new cabin air filter for a mere $11. There are some things that are worth making an appointment and paying someone else to do. I continue to enjoy my free beverage while I wait for my service to be completed, and I appreciate that they offer the opportunity to get said service done without an appointment, but unless you're someone with dispensable income to burn, I would recommend you stick with the oil change only, and avoid being swindled. Be sure to check in on Yelp to get a $5 off promotion! read more

See all

DO NOT GO HERE! The last 2 cars I took here they charged 120$ just for an oil change.. both cars started acting weird and soon enough died. They act nice but they're horrible people . Learn to do your own oil change like I should of did but I was being lazy read more

i got an oils change here last week and these guys are awesome. they don't try to push you into buying a bunch of extras. they're super friendly and quick! thanks guys!!! read more

I took my car in for a oil change brought my own oil and filter and they still charged me a high amount. I was only there for a oil change and they took some of my transmission fluid out without asking me to do so to show me how dirty my fluid was. I decided to have them change it since it was under the car and I can't even check the transmission fluid on my Chevy HHR. They changed my oil and transmission fluid. Then the next day right away my car started acting super crazy. I was scared it was gonna stop running on the road and so I pulled into the near gas station to stop my car. I freaked out and turned it back on and as I did I decided to go back to them cuz my car had no issues before I had them work on it. When I drove back in there I told them I wanted them to check there work because my car was acting very weird and thought it was gonna stop in the middle of the road. They had me waiting and treated me as if I wasn't important because they were not making money off of me. We sat and waited and they didn't offer me and my 3 kids drinks and when they finally did check my car out they said the oil was still full and so was the transmission fluid. The worker Bob went to grab diagnostics reader and came back to hook it up to my car and as he did it just so happen to Conveniently be dead . So he said to take it to auto zone or somewhere to have someone use there reader to check my car and to call them back and let them know the codes that I was given. Crazy cuz now I am stuck at home with a car the doesn't start and I can't go have someone hook their reader to my car now. I have had no issues with my car till I had them work on it. Tomorrow I'm gonna go to the chevy dealer across from where I stay and see if they have one. Sucks cuz I had not a single problem until now and it's left me in a state and city where I don't know anyone to help me with rides or anything. Think twice before u go here read more

Got an oil change here. The men were polite and efficient. A number of additional services and products were offered to me, but it never felt like a hard sell. They were simply informing me of things that I might want to consider. The crew listed on my receipt are Woods, Hernandez-Atteberry, Fendrick and Kent, and they were all excellent. Price was quite reasonable, also. read more

The staff was very helpful and friendly! It's fun to drive through with kids, as there are lights that flash and car wash is always fun :) The exterior of my truck was cleaned decently well (the grill and chrome is a bit dirty still). Unfortunately there were no rags or spray bottles to clean out the interior, which is usually available by the vacuum area at other car washes. The vacuum suction also seemed to have low power... Additionally, the price online for a month was a couple bucks less than the actual price we paid for the base level month membership. Oh well, we are going to have to make the best of it! Overall, the $9 is much better than me hand washing my giant truck. I would just recommend some sort of towel station! read more

Pretty good place to go for an easy oil change. It has its upsides and downsides. The upsides: 1) The best part about this place is the convenience in that no appointment is necessary. Just drive on up and get in line in one of their three drive-thru bays. 2) You don't have to get out of your car and go sit in some dingy waiting room thumbing through 2 year-old issues of Car and Driver for a half-hour. 3) The staff tend to be courteous. 4) Small amenities like being offered water or soda while you wait. 5) They allow you to bring your own fluids/filter for changes. You will still pay a standard rate, but I like that this is an option where some places can be more rigid *cough* LesSchwabEureka *cough* and insist on using their own stuff which I don't always trust. The downsides: 1) Snake oil. You can easily refuse whatever they pitch, but they are required to make several pitches for a variety of fluid additives, fluid changes, and minor treatments (air filter etc.) that are generally non-essential but will increase their profits. 2) Top offs: Sometimes they're too good at this. I like to stick to dealer-manufactured fluids for my car and was able to communicate that to my primary tech. Unfortunately there were 2 or three other techs who were buzzing around as well, and one of them poked his head under my hood in passing and before I knew what was happening he was topping off my coolant reservoir with non-OEM stuff. Not the worst thing in the world, but kind of annoying. 3) Fluid changes: This again relates to my preference for dealer fluids. When I mention this to techs in almost any shop including this one, they always say "Well we use this generic brand all the time." That's all well and good, but sometimes OEM's have special formulations for the cars that they manufacture which can make a huge difference in how the car runs in the long-term. This is why I often bite the bullet and buy genuine OEM fluids. The fact that a generic brand is used regularly by the shop does not give me any confidence that it will not have an overall detrimental effect on my engine/drivetrain. I'll keep coming back, and what wins me over by far is the convenience. There's nothing better than being able to show up whenever you want and be done in about 20 minutes give or take. At appointment-based places I am rarely able to get my car serviced on the spot and have the work done so efficiently. ----- I don't know who invented the universal rule that everybody at these (non-chain) quick change places has to call each other "sir" at the end of every statement, which sounds kind of ridiculous when you're just talking to your coworkers all day, but I guess that's beside the point. I just think it's curious that you could probably go to a quick change shop on the other side of the country and there is a 98% chance that the same rule will be in effect. read more

Honestly coming here was like watching a well-practiced circus. They are highly efficient & circle around each other calling out what they're doing or what they need. Very quick. Very polite. I've never been thanked so many times in my whole life for merely answering questions. Highly recommend. Great crew, was out in no time. Definitely coming back. read more

The staff were not well coordinated as at least 4 customers were served on the 2 bay operation at their Yuba City location ahead of me. I waited while the manager talked on the phone for nearly 10 minutes. The customer ahead of me was very upset for likewise reasons. No way a care 4 behind in line should ever get serviced and leave ahead of your own. Premier Oil Change is going to be loosing business quickly after taking over this location from previous owners; Sierra Lube Plus. This service issue Never occurred in the 5 years I had been taking my vehicles to the previous owners. read more

Every time I come these gentlemen are polite and courteous. They answer my questions about my car and work harder than anyone I know. They never seem to loose their cool even when it's super busy. This place is the best! Thank you! read more

Premier does not have a Yuba City Yelp page. I tried to post about Yuba City Premier but got no where. I posted a review sometime ago about having everything done, transmission, radiator, and oil changes. I had not fluids in the radiator and transmission. I had these problems fixed with a mechanic. I went to Premier oil change with my receipts and they refunded my money for the trans and radiator! I wasn't going in for my money back. I was going in so they could have a training moment. Turns out the person that worked on my SUV was no longer working there. So I have increased my rating. read more

Went to wash my car Oct 7th at new Central Point. I couldn't believe it! The new location looks so professional - it's not good.

I've gone here twice (once in 2015 and once this past month). It's pricey since I have a high mileage vehicle and don't use regular oil. So I've gone other places just to save when it came time for my oil changes. How come this last time I went, they noted that I had not been in a year, took off my filter and said I had an oil leak. Ha! I just had a new oil pan put on and a tune up. I'm paranoid about stuff leaking so I always check my car regularly. I didn't buy it, but what could I say? Literally the very next day, my car was hemorrhaging oil when I pulled out of my parking spot. This persisted for a couple of days and I took it to a shop that quoted me over $1,000 to fix it, then they changed the filter and added oil and told me to think on it. My Papi checked my car and said that there was no oil leak anymore since the filter was changed by the second shop. So, now I know that it was Premier Oil that put my filter on wrong just to spite me I guess, I don't know why they would do that, but they told me I had a leak when I know I didn't, and I leave there with a major leakage that turned out to be the oil filter being put on wrong!! I can't with this place. I'm beginning to think that my car is just not safe in Humboldt. Are there any trusted shops out there???!!!! Somebody let me know!!! read more

I live in Grants Pass, OR and went to the Premier and had my oil changed in the late afternoon on 12/22/19, and also had my radiator flushed. The two guys that helped me was Tim & Noah. Very professional, and some pretty cool guys. They did a great job, and I'd recommend anyone to in and get there vehicle services, and remember to ask for Tim & Noah. read more

Ugh this place is terrible but who am I to bring down their ratings and or customer count, so I'm going to give the five starts because Yelp allows me to. Just go down the street to the Lube Rack now that place is bomb a** dank a**! I love the Lube Rack! read more

Excellent service! Totally polite and professional. Very helpful and efficient. There was an engine problem that was explained thoroughly.

Thank you Jeremy for all of your help today while I got my Camry serviced. You were honest and very informative.and nice as well. It made the oil change a lot easier for me read more

These are my oil change guys!! They're also very kind, professional and super on it! We bring all of our vehicles here and they keep track of us and give us a free oil change once every 3-5 times depending on how much we spend and it's only $40 or so and they're quick!! Even when it's busy it's relaxing and you can have a free water or soda. They also seem to be a great group of guys well-trained in customer service and car maintenance and seem to enjoy their jobs which is really pleasant to witness. Thanks Fellas!! read more

Yes they talk fast. Yes it is busy. But it was an excellent experience. Knowledgable, friendly, pretty quick. These guys are in business to make money. They will try to upswell everything to anyone. That doesn't mean it's unethical or sexist. I went in for an oil change. Left with 200.00 worth of preventive maintenance. This the very first place I have ever been too that pulls the ECV and shows you what it looks like. I'm thankful that they did. The rough idle is gone. I usually change my own oil but I don't have the facilities to do so anymore. Great service great products very friendly. Highly recommended. read more

New in town and searched yelp. Drove in from So Cal as daughter attending college and needed her car oil change. Called in and spoke to Justin who was very helpful with pricing and service. Jake provided amazing customer service and answered all our questions with oil change and process. Professional service by Jake and team. Definitely will be back and highly recommend. Thank you Premium Oil Team! read more

Professional and fast. Always courteous. I won't use anyone else. Each person is well trained. I attribute the great condition of my car to this team. read more

Needed to get my grandmas oil changed while I was in town visiting her so I took it to Premier based off of the reviews I read. Drove right up and and they got to work. The mechanics were fast and professional. Did not try to sell me anything that was not needed. I also purchased new windshield wipers and they installed them. I was in and out of there in less than 20 minutes. Wish we had fast, nice service like this is LA. read more

I just left there. Today, like the last time, they offered me a beverage but never produced one. In and of itself that is not a big deal but I think it is exemplary of the service. As usual they sprayed and wiped the windshield. It's raining today so it seemed kind of silly but I didn't think much of it. Then I got out into the rain, turned on my wipers and smeared something they had applied all over my windshield, making visibility a big problem. Whatever it was it washed off pretty easily at a gas station. They really should not make windshields opaque. The last time I was there they put the radiator cap on wrong and it boiled out. That time it just happened that the radiator boiled out while I was driving across the Golden Gate Bridge. That, obviously was very bad. They are fast and convenient but you need to check everything they do. They create safety problems. read more

These guys are the best! And I'll never get my oil changed anywhere else. They went above and beyond to help with my car today offering me get service and advice with a personal touch! read more

Very awesome staff people who want to work and enjoy their job. Very helpful.young men. I got to.viait my friend and enjoy a cup of coffee the vibe was good the energy was welcoming. What a great morning at this shop. I recommend this place. Awesome.job guys! read more

Premier Oil Change - Always a courteous and professional group of guys here. - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Eureka, California

We went in to the Boulder Dr/Redding location yesterday afternoon... it was AWESOME!!! Fast, less expensive than going to a dealership, checked everything and a car wash... we have lifetime oil changes for another one of our vehicles and it's always a huge hassle; that car will be a Premier Car as well now!! Kudos to Marshal and Bryson for their excellent attitudes and service! Thanks for fixing up our SUV for our adventures!!! read more

I just got my '07 Chevy Roadtrek checked at Premiere before a big trip, and they were awesome! Super efficient, my oil change light flickered on and off the day before a big trip, and Tim showed me a trick to reset it, and it worked! (Turn on and off engine, turn key two turns to right until all lights come on, then off, press gas pedal to floor 5 times, restart engine). He said I could wait on the oil change because all looked good and I wasn't at mileage recommended for my vehicle, they did a safety check, tire pressure, etc. and didn't even charge me! I will be back for sure:) Thank you, Tim, and the others at Premiere! I sure appreciate it! read more

Fast and great service just don't say yes to every single thing they offer. It's great that they monitor your mileage and services so you know what you need done. Make sure to check how often your vehicle needs a certain fluid before buying it. read more

If you want to get screwed out of any warranty your car has come here. I had my tranny fluid changed or I should say I paid for it to be done in May 2017. In June 2017 my tranny went out. I had an extended warranty on my car. I had it towed into Pro Pacific. The tranny still had the original filter from the factory on it & the plug from the factory still in it. If I didn't have the paperwork from the previous month where I had my tranny fluid "changed" my warranty wouldn't have been honored for lack of maintenance. I still had to put up a fight because all signs showed it wasn't maintained but in good faith I paid for it. I was almost out $4500 because they didn't do the service I paid for. You're better off going to an actual mechanic so you know it has been done correctly. It will cost you less in the long run. read more

Such an incredible business! They offer so many services and are the absolute friendliest technicians I've ever encountered. Extremely professional and fast. I was in and out in 15 mins on a Sunday. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you! read more

They were very nice and they were very friendly and helpful with their service to get you to where you should go to start the lube service. The service went well,but they didn't check all the things on their check list like the rear wiper which I have they just put n/a for the check. They are very quick so they probably miss things that might be helpful to know. Kind of expensive for the incomplete check and report. read more

Thumbs up!! Nice people Fast business Cold drink Nothing really to complain about. read more

They're are there to help. You don't need to feel pressured to accept the up-sell. It's either necessary or preventative maintenance. They found that I had an oil plug from a Mercedes on my Explorer and replaced it for free. They removed my air filter and in the process broke a part to the heater. They rushed down to the Auto Zone, which was about to close, to get a new part and replaced it. HONEST!!! It was a $60 part. Not to mention, they will stop what they are doing and check and fill your fluids for free if you pull up to the back (on the Shell side) at any random time of the day. Anyone with a negative review on them is foolish, and obviously didn't understand the service. Great job Premier! You have a customer for life. I'll be in today as a matter of fact. read more

Thorough service by a very courteous and helpful crew . Recommended for before that long trip cross country

I think this place is cute. Offering a beverage is kinda sweet. The uniforms are quirky. I appreciate the speed and apparent precision. The only downside is the pricing (too high) and the rather relentless pushing of other services. read more

I needed an oil change, was in Eureka, and decided to give Premier a chance. I'd heard their ads on the radio, and read good things about them. The place is interesting. A bunch of guys running around and yelling at each other. It feels vaguely like training .or boot camp. Amusing at first, but it gets old quickly. I can't imagine working in that environment. They do offer you a beverage while you are waiting, which might impress some people, but a cup of mediocre coffee or a 50 cent soda isn't a huge perk. It's a courtesy, and I did appreciate it. Then came the car care advice. "You should try this fuel additive. Your windshield wipers need replacing. One of your hoses looks questionable." Every few minutes, the tech would come at me with another suggested service. I decided on one additive that I'd been considering anyway. But then he popped up and said, "Your air filter needs to be changed." That's when the red flag went up, because I had just had my air filter replaced less than 2 months earlier. It did not need to be changed. Also, my wipers were fine. Not brand new, but they weren't in bad shape. I realized that they don't make their money on the oil change. That's just getting you in the door. What they really want to do is sell you a bunch of other services to raise the total price. A $50 oil change suddenly becomes a $125 trip to the shop. They attempt to dazzle you with their "amazing" customer service, and then get you to agree to things that your car doesn't really need. Okay, whatever, that's what they do. My oil got changed, everything's fine. But recently, my girlfriend's car had a busted fan belt. It was the Saturday before Christmas, and she was a little panicked. Where to go? She wasn't far from Premier, so I suggested she go there, as I knew they were open. She went in and they replaced 2 of her belts. Turns out that when she'd had some work done on her car 6 months earlier, they had installed the wrong alternator, and it was off a bit, and had worn away at the belt, causing it to break. The mechanic and the manager informed her of this, which was helpful. They installed the 2 belts, but told her that if the alternator problem wasn't corrected, this would likely happen again. Fair enough. The belts were installed, she paid them $120, and she was on her way. All good, right? Monday evening (2 days later), she's driving home, and the check engine light comes on. Then the temperature gauge goes up. She wasn't far from home, so she limped her car there, and looked under the hood to investigate. One of the new belts had frayed and broken. Already! She had been driving the car in that same condition for 6 months before the previous belt was compromised enough to break. How could it take 2 days to do that? Cheap belt, was my first thought. She took her car into Antich Auto to fix the alternator problem. We were in the neighborhood a day later, so I suggested we stop by Premier to talk to them about the belt situation. Hoped maybe they'd refund some of the cost of one of the belts (the other one was fine). The manager who came to talk to us was the same guy who had assisted her when the original belts broke. He said that he'd told her that this could happen again. I knew he'd say that. He'd already covered himself by doing so. When I mentioned this, he said "I knew you would say that", with a smirk on his face. Very condescending. They charged $60 per belt (installation included). For 2 belts that didn't cost more than $20, tops (I know - I priced them). He said that their prices were in line with any other shop in town, and wasn't going to give us any rebate. He didn't want to deal with us at all, and quickly said, "So we're done here?", turned and bolted back to the office. The bottom line is that I don't trust this place, and I don't like their attitude. I recommend that you go anywhere else. There are plenty of friendly, professional places in our area that will change your oil and service your car, and they should get your business. read more

They used the wrong drain plug gasket in my almost new car, causing it to leak oil profusely at less than 25k miles. Also, they charged me 40 dollars for this, even though I brought in my own oil and filter. Now I have to go to the dealership, get the correct gasket, drain and refill with new oil again myself, as I live in San Diego and can not drive back to Eureka for them to make this right. Also, they refused to give me a refund via the credit card I used to pay, so I will have to dispute the charge with my bank. An update: I've since changed the oil myself many times and I'm really surprised they used a gasket that is obviously the wrong size. I've been just reusing the same (correct) gasket with no leaks or issues. I can't believe they didn't just reuse the old one. read more

This place is hands down the best and most efficient place in town. They have always gone out of their way to provide the best customer service. The manager, Justin, is extremely attentive. As well as all the employees. I am extremely impressed by Premier. I Will continue coming here and recommending it too all read more

This is by far the best place I have ever gotten an oil change. They checked and showed me everything. Checked tire pressure, greased my door hinges, washed my windshield and even gave my daughter a coloring book. Very professional and informative. I will definitely be coming here from now on. Thanks guys!! read more
