I've taken my truck in here for the last 4 years or so and I think the total time I've spent there is about an hour. Every time I need an oil change it takes about 7-10 minutes and I'm on my way. It is well worth the price to have it all done quickly and professionally and plus it would take me probably an hour to do it myself. This place is great!! read more

We took our new used SUV in for its first oil change and to put synthetic oil in! We were a quart low on coolant, and our wipers were bad! We were done in 20 minutes and great service by all! It wasn't a bad price, so a great value! Thank you Tim and Brandon and everyone else! We will keep recommending this place! Also easy and fast to smog and licensed the cars read more

It has been seven years since I reviewed Safe Lube Plus so I wanted to give them a quick shout-out. We have been coming here twice a year for smog checks ever since we moved to Reno eleven years ago. They are consistently efficient, polite, and reliable. Today we came for a smog check on our old Honda. It had been sitting in our driveway, without being driven, for over two months! After an initial unsuccessful check due to a cold engine, the guys told us to drive the McCarran loop and come back. Sure enough, the car passed, we paid our fees (their fee plus the DMV registration fee), and we were on our way! read more

Fast. Guys were super nice and helpful. Asked me if there was anything I was worried about that I wanted them to check. They didn't try to push anything on me to buy. Great experience, I will be coming back read more

Fast, easy, honest, and cheap. Very polite and checked everything. I will def be going back. I got an oil change and air filter. Im gonna get my transfer case and front and rear diffs done next service read more

Their consistent great reviews led me to their website, which in turn led me to come for an oil change. I've always dreaded taking my cars in for oil changes, but not anymore. No appt necessary, arrived Sat around 1:30 and left at 1:50 The guys were all very polite, and you don't even have to leave your car. Also didn't break the bank for full synthetic. read more

I've taken all my cars here for over 20 years. Every time I go somewhere else for an oil change I regret it. I will drive across town just to have them take care of my car. Great service, they won't screw you over. You don't have to get out of your car and it's usually very quick. Even though I do see new faces often the service always remains 5 stars. read more

Wayne and Tim are great. They have surrounded themselves with a quality crew. I've been using their service for repairs and maintenance for years! In this world of lost customer service, safe lube has not lost it. Thanks Tim and Wayne! read more

Always efficient and friendly. During the Pandemic they offered Nurses free oil change X 1. Probably other health care providers as well.

As a new Nevada resident, I bought a really nice used car, it has no manual for what to look for. I began with the beginning to register it, smog inspection - Fluids checked and filters replaced. The AC needed to be checked and serviced. I am beyond grateful for the polite service and helpful feedback for what needs to be done next month. This is a FIVE STAR business! Thank you Safe Lube Plus for your excellent service! read more

These guys are $4-$8 cheaper than most of the drive-thru oil change shops in Reno and they've been around a long time, so they are a local favorite especially if you're in the North Reno area. Service is super fast. They'll of course try to upsell you on replacing your air filter and in cabin filter which you can tell them right off you did yourself and then won't bother checking. I didn't notice the monitors for above and below the bay on my first visit but they have them (was just looking at my phone the whole time). I can see why the locals pointed me to this place. Having zero wait was really nice. In and out in maybe 10 minutes at the most. Still think the price is a little high for full synthetic change considering how long it took but like I said they are actually cheaper than any other place I checked. read more

No photos for this review. I will probably add one another time. I have been going to Safe Lube for many years. At least with 3 different vehicles. They do registration with smog (upon request) and that was my biggest draw. It helps so much! And recently, I needed an oil change as well. I was able to do all of it at the same time! I believe their prices are fair. Honestly, all things dealing with owning a car is going to cost . Staff has always been polite and informative. As an older single female, I feel comfortable with this staff. They aren't intimidating or trying to take your money . They are there to help. read more

I have used Safe Lube for multiple oil changes, smog checks and air filter changes and have been extremely pleased with every visit. They are certainly quick and efficient, but most of all the way they treat their customers stands out to me. As a woman, it can often been intimidating to take your car in for service and I typically expect men to talk down to me, but every employee has treated me with respect and courtesy and I never feel uncomfortable asking any questions. I will always recommend this place. read more

Shoutout to Tim, even though they don't service BMWs and Mercedes (I honestly don't blame them lol) He did his best to steer me in the right direction and provide quality alternatives. Honesty and integrity right there. read more

Quick and easy oil change. Great price and great communication. As a woman I am sometimes nervous when going to auto shops but they were kind and clear in their instructions. read more

Got my oil changed they washed my windows filled my tires with air. Gave me a bottle of water even checked my cabin filter at no charge. Staff was very friendly and professional. I will definitely be back. read more

Best place in town to get an oil change, in and out in under 10 minutes and always good customer service.

Regarding Tim at safe lube on clerker and McCarran. He literally scared me. I was shaking with the way he responded to my driving and then was rude. I've never been disrespected there. I've always loved the people there. But there has to be a Tim to act like a Karen. Way to go bro read more

I've been patronizing this location for a lot of years, like since they opened. The service is always stellar, until today. Which is kind of a bummer because I really love this place and I love supporting them. I stopped to get my smog check and registration. The technician appeared to be very...let's just say not in a good mood. That's not my fault. I was cheerful and nice to him. Asked how his day was, saw he was not in a great mood so decided to try to cheer him up by being nice, asking him how his day is, etc. no happy response and he never even looked at me. So I don't give Safe Lube 4 stars I gave my technician 4 stars. Maybe he'll have a better day. Tomorrow. read more

I have been coming here for my smog and oil change for several years now. I've always had a good experiences here and I highly recommend this business. read more

We came here about noon on a Sunday to get the oil changed on one of our vehicles. A few months ago, my wife brought my truck here to get it smogged and it was very smooth which is the primary reason we came today. We arrived and pulled up behind one of the three vehicles that were having their oil changed in the shop. We were greeted promptly and told it would be just a few minutes. One of the attendants came and washed our windshield and my wife inquired about the prices for our other two vehicles. Once it was our turn we pulled in and provided some basic information on our vehicle. We ended up choosing the high mileage synthetic option which is the middle of the road in their pricing structure. Each of the attendants were friendly and efficient and in roughly 15 minutes we were on our way. Be sure to go to their website before you head down and print off a coupon for $5 off. We were impressed and will likely begin taking our newer vehicles as well! read more

Was looking for a DMV approved location and this one just happened to be second on the list. Upon looking at other reviews I decided this was the best option. They got my car in the next day, they were flexible and communicative and I got my car back the same day. They fixed an issue that other mechanics had not been able to figure out and I didn't feel like they gauged me on the price. Definitely a solid place to get some work done by honest professionals! read more

My wife and I will only come here for oil changes and have for several years. Always great service and even though we live across town now, we still make the drive here because it's the best place in town to get a fast oil change at a fair price with friendly folks always here. read more

This place is amazing! We take our family vehicles here and they always help or point us in the correct direction! Wayne is a real big help and doesn't talk to me like I'm a dumb girl. If I'm being honest that man is more helpful in fixing my car than my step father who's the owner of a sports car shop. Great service! Definitely recommend! read more

Great service great value awesome staff This is the best deal in town and I highly recommend them read more

Need to registered and smog my car, drive up they just opened and helped me immediately! Super fast and friendly service didn't even get out of the car! Fair prices as well! read more

Went to smog and register motorhome and I've done it for several years there and now all of the sudden they have to have the doghouse inside off and the mechanic told me he wasn't gonna climb under and hook it up to a spark plug, so I'm taking my service somewhere else and I've been with them for years. Employees have become lazy.!!! read more

Let me start off by saying I have never went to get my oil changes alone (yeah yeah I know). I moved to Reno for school and needed to change my oil but could not go back to my hometown in California to get it changed. I decided to stop by this place for my oil. The employee's were very nice and the service was very quick. In addition I paid about $60 which I thought wasn't too bad. Overall I was impressed with the quick and efficient service I received here and would recommend this place to someone who needs a quick change. read more

WOW WOW WOW! This will be my go to spot for oil changes and smog checks. The people here were amazing and you're literally in and out in less then 10 minutes. The best part is you don't even have to get out of your own car, they're that fast. They have three different oil changes to choose from which ranges from $30, $40 and $60 and it depends on the type of vehicle you have as well. This shop even has cameras so you can actually watch the workers change your oil and oil filter so you know they're not ripping you off like other shops do. They guy's here are friendly and they'll have your car done in no time. So if you're in the area and need an oil change be sure to come give this place a try and I'm sure you will only be using them from then on. read more

Just wanted to give these guys a quick shout out! So happy I called around and found this place! Called about a week ago to get prices on synthetic oil changes. Spoke with Wayb and he was so friendly and thorough. They were also about $15 - $20 lower than the other places. Was in the area about 5:30 last evening and decided to go there to see if they were open. Tim greeted us at the car and answered some questions I had before guiding us in to do the oil change. Everything went so smooth and quick. It was so convenient. My niece even like the screen they had that showed the guy under the car doing the oil change. What I really liked was how comfortable I felt there. Give this place an all around 5 Ninja Stars. to Wayne, Tim, Eddie, and the rest of the crew there. read more

Their smog and oil change service is fast and the service people are always friendly. They do get busy so sometimes there's a brief wait, but it's the only place my household takes their vehicles for oil changes because we trust them more. I also bring my roughly used off-road vehicle here for repairs/diagnosing issues, and Wayne has always helped me out. He is flexible with scheduling and knows what he is doing. I had some off-the-wall repairs needed and he jumped through hoops to help me keep the cost down. Greatly appreciated! read more

I thought I had already written a review, but apparently not. 2nd time in, and what can I say that hasn't already been said by everyone who goes there?! The place is THE BEST in Reno. Period. The service in this place goes above and beyond. Went in on Saturday around 10 am. I need a full synthetic oil change, and if you print off a $5 off coupon you can save alittle $. Got right in, no waiting. They have such an incredible, professional and friendly staff, I'll never go anywhere else. They checked my air filter, tires, cleaned my windshield, asked if I wanted a bottle of ice cold water (yes, please!) Trust this shop with your business, you won't regret it! read more

I cannot think where to begin on these guys. Super fast oil change, easy to drive in and out, and wonderful people. These guys know what they're doing and go above and beyond, truly. Affordable too, I pay $40 for what I would pay $90 at jiffy lube. I'm in and out in 10 mins, they don't try to overcharge you by doing add-ons, and the car always seems to drive that much better when I leave. They are so personable and just great! Highly recommend this place, I've been here now with 3 of my cars and will never choose another place for as long as they're here! Edit: they also jump right in and clean your windshields by hand, and top up all fluids every time as needed. They also don't do anything without asking, like checking tire pressure, air filter, etc. Seriously great people here! These guys will go far in life! read more

I have decide to find a new place for oil changes. I looked on Yelp, of course, and found Safe Lube. We had two cars that needed to be serviced, so both the husband and I drove over in our respective vehicles. Safe Lube has four garage bays, and three were open. At 10:05 am, I was promptly greeted and pulled my vehicle into bay 3. My husband was behind another vehicle and went into bay 1. Unlike other places, you stay in your vehicle while your car is being serviced. All the technicians I interacted with were friendly and no one tried to up sell me on items that my Jeep didn't need. As the place got busier, bay 4 opened. During my service I must have been staring in my husband's direction, as of the technicians working on his car said to him, "Do you know the girl in the Jeep? She's been checking you out." To that my husband said,"Yes, that's my wife." So if you need a match making service, the staff here is quick to help a guy out. By 10:19, I was paying for my service and driving out the door. After tax I was at $48.00. This is a very low price to what I am use to paying at another neighboring shop. By 10:20, my husband's car was done too. Also there is a $5.00 off coupon on their website, but it needs to be printed out before hand. This was by far one of the best experiences I have had when it come to car care. Knowing that I just wait in the vehicle means that next time I can take my dog along for the errand. read more

I'm a young girl so I'm always scared of being up charged when I take my car in to get serviced, this is one of the easiest and best experiences I've ever had. The guys are quick and thorough and charge very reasonably. 110% only going to safelube to get my car serviced. Thank you! read more

Spent $73 on an oil change. I'm a first time customer here. Had to make a trip back there after they said it was all done because they forgot to put the engine cover back on. So 30 minutes of my time and gas money were wasted. They said over the phone come on back we prefer not to keep these covers (is that a joke). I was pretty far away and had to go back, they put the cover back on. I wasn't offered a discount for next time and just got a quick "sorry". Was not fun for me I can go anywhere else for a $73 oil change. Offering me a reason to come back would have been a better play. read more

This place is great. I bring both my vehicles here for oil changes. It literally takes 5 - 10 minutes and you do not have to exit your vehicle. They are not in your face about unneeded service but they will tell you what they recommend..... I used jiffy lube back in the day.... but they are a little more $ and it takes 1 hour + every time. If you have not been here. Try it read more

Safe Lube Plus is now my favorite place for oil change and brakes. Why you might ask? Well, honesty is very hard to find and also it is very hard for me to trust a place for my mechanical needs. I have been burned before. I wish these guys did more than just oil changes and breaks because I would go here for everything if I could. Anyways, I'll tell you why I like it there so much. For the past couple of years I have take my car here for oil changes. But I recently needed new brakes/the rotors needed to be resurfaced because I was getting lots of wobble on my steering wheel. I talked to Wayne Adair. He is the mechanic that does the brakes and rotors. I told him my situation that the vehicle was having issues when I brake the wheel wobbles. He said it was probably the rotors and I concurred. I told him it might be the break pads and I might need new rotors. He said he would get it checked out and would let me know if anything else popped up. He first quoted me for new rotors and new brake pads. Just for the front which was anywhere from $300-350. I said okay let's get it done. I dropped of the vehicle and he told me he will call later when it is done. Later on the same day he called me with great news. He said that I didn't need new brake pads just rotors needed resurfacing and everything came up to $180. Instead of getting new rotors he just resurfaced there which in turn save me a but load of money. It's service and honest like this is what is going to keep me coming back. What a great shop and I really appreciate act of honesty like this. He could have just said yeah you need new pads too but gave me the truth instead. I would highly recommend this place for an oil change and your breaks! Also, side note if you from out of town and need to get your oil change they will do it in a pinch. You don't even need to leave your car. That's how quickly they will do it. Unless they are super busy but even then they will still do their best. Can't say enough about this shop. Thanks for reading my review. read more

awesome always fast efficient and friendly One shop stop you can do everything for registration right there. They do it off for you. It's easy quick & convenient. read more

Years ago this place was first to let you smog check and do your DMV registration in one place. Over the years it was great service after great service and I recommended them to everyone. That all changed. I pulled in for a smog check. I had a check engine light on. The person performing the smog check saw the light was on, ran the smog check, and then told me after it failed that the check engine light - that he saw - was an automatic fail for the smog test. He saw the light, knew what it meant and instead of being up front about it, he took $30 from. Don't support dishonest shops. read more
