=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE This review based on the car wash…read moreonly: it's OK. If you need a touchless car wash for very light grime on your ride, this could be it. See my review for Peninsula Co-op - I found that one a little better and even then, it wasn't great. If you can wait for a hand wash or an automated brush-based one, I would do that; otherwise this might do in a pinch. === 2. CAR WASH As mentioned, it's just OK, and I would recommend it for very light grime (e.g., a day or two after it rained and you had some light dirt on your car). This car wash dries your car at the very end and you need to drive through slowly to get the drying experience within a certain period of time. Don't back up in any way as it cancels the drying cycle completely for some reason! === 3. SERVICE The people working here are great - friendly and professional! While I found them steady traffic-wise, the wait wasn't too long to get their attention and all set for the wash.

Certainly these drive- in oil and filter companies don't replace a full mechanical or dealer shop…read morebut for routine oil changes the convenience is undeniably significant. Prices are competitive and as repeat business builds your car's service history with them. And as time goes by recommend extras will be addressed in due course, such as air filters, differential lube services, etc. I find it extremely funny that other reviewers post pejorative statements about ad-on sales being pushed on them. Excuse me, it's called vehicle maintenance for a reason. Yes, I've been know to postpone the odd recommendation until the next service visit because of budget, but really, it's in the vehicles best interest. Throw your car's VIN into a dealer on-line site calculator and you will get the recommended maintenance interval which should validate the needed scheduled service item. Probably in your manual too. Other than that, the staff at this EZ Lube are knowledgeable within their scope and I've only ever experienced friendliness and exemplary service. I'd say that at the end of the day however, this is a niche service and mechanical advice fits more into their business model narrative than exceptional automotive/mechanical knowledge. But. Even dealers overfill oil levels and over torque drain plugs and filters. These drive through businesses hire lads who work under vehicle all day long and at this location I've never had by three cars ever messed up. They even offer tire rotations as more maintenance items are added for your convenience. I once had to prove regular maintenance to a dealer for warranty work and the EZ Lube staff forwarded all my records promptly. Regardless it is up to a customer, male or female, to take responsibility to maintain regular, routine service and know your own vehicle's schedule. Yes you, the car owner. Then work with this excellent location to keep it up for the areas they can. Refuse add-on if you want and do some research. That may include injector cleaning too, whatever. I also get my wiper blades changed there and it's alway competitively priced with free install. I do leave CVT oil flushing and sealed transmission fluid changes to the dealers though and follow my owner's manual for mileage suggestions - though that can depend largely on car usage and driving habits. As great as the convenience is for drive-through routine oil changes, just remember they will never replace the dealer service department nor a local trusted mechanical shop.

I went to Howie's Car Corral in search of a 'running beater,' one that wouldn't crap out on me a month later. I am not savvy or even passionate about vehicles, they just don't interest me too much unless it's a Honda Civic- they run forever. Speaking with, Howie himself I was able to find a suitable, reasonably price vehicle and be on my way. It was super quick, with the insurance straight to the office I was able to pick up my ride and drive it out of there the same day. The customer service and knowledge at Howie's is very impressive. Small businesses such as this one, is what keeps this city running. It allows for the average income earner to get that nice vehicle they have been working hard towards and for that, I appreciate a family run business that understands.
