    I love this place it's so convenient the manager Irwin greeted us when we pulled in. He asked if we wanted water tea or coffee while we wait. They cleaned off our window as we were getting our oil changed. They are able to look for several things while you are here and always ensure your tires are at the right psi. Everyone was friendly and attentive

    Time for an oil change and I decided to come here. Fast & knowledgeable staff. A little on the pricey side but I love that you get the convenience of staying in your car, while they change the oil, brilliant idea.

    Needed to get a quick oil change done the old Sentra. Very professional and quick service. I was even offered water while I waited in my car.

    Laurel location- I came here for my first time after I was impressed with hearing about an express oil change spot. I love the fact that you could sit in your car while being service. I disliked how they try to go about providing you with other suggestions your car needs. It's just OK to print it off at the end of whatever service you request on your receipt any recommendations in which they do that also but they also come up to your car window like sales people and try to pitch you a sale. Now that's what we're not going to do‍ I'm convinced some of the things they stated my car needed it, it actually did not need because my car was serviced at a dealership recently and I only came there because I was pressed for convenience for a oil change. Getting 2 stars because of the convenience for me otherwise it would not get 2 stars the techs were extremely nice and pleasant but I'm not sure what the fishy business is about in here. I will not be returning. They did not even reset my change oil light that didn't dawn on me till I was driving home. I'm hoping they even changed my oil because I'm not a mechanic so it's hard to tell what exactly they were doing. $44 basic oil change I normally pay $25 -$30 at the dealership or tire place. Tip: If this is your first time looking for this place look for the big MARLO furniture sign on the corner of Contee Road it's right there. You will see it I drove past this place.

    A well organized, clean shop. There was no hard sell on extras with the oil change. Very pleasant, friendly service.

    Are the synthetic oil change prices listed anywhere?

    I was just there and because I stay in the car, I never see the prices. I'm always just quoted the prices when I pull in. Maybe in the waiting area.

    Is this a walk-in or schedule an appointment operation?

    Hi Christina! No appointment is necessary when visiting The Lube Center. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!

    I will most likely not use the location ever again. For a multitude of reasons. Let's get into it…read more When I first pulled in there were two customers in front of me. When I got into the line I was told by an employee to pull up to bay 3. I did so. I am idling there and then another employee came up to me and told me that bay 3 was closed. I was told to back up and pull into a spot and wait until one of the other two cars pulled into a bay. This wouldn't have been bad, but the lot is so narrow here and if another vehicle had pulled into the lot, I would not have been able to do this. Then a vehicle left the bay and one car pulled through. I was instructed to pull up to the bay to be in wait. What is supposed to be a 15 minute service turns into anywhere from 30-45 minute wait. While sitting in wait at bay 1, lo and behold bay 3 opened up. A bay I was told to vacate, I would have been in by this point. Instead, another employee came out and told me to move to bay 2 and I would be in within a few minutes. I move again, and while I pull up to bay 2, I give them my information so that when I get in there it won't be that long of a wait. I explicitly told them I just wanted an oil change and that was all. Nothing else. They then try to upsale me on so many things. Radiator flush, transmission fluid change, wipers, air filter, upgrade to a synthetic oil. Then the best of all, they told me that my vehicle has started to have an oil leak. Funny, no oil under my car no matter where I park, no low oil light either. I know you need to meet quotas, but if I tell you I only want and oil change, respect that. I do not want to pay top dollar for a service I can get done elsewhere for cheaper, or do myself. Especially when you show me something that I had just done myself a mere six months ago. Also, when I tell you that I don't drive very much now, respect that as well. I don't put the wear and tear on my vehicle as much as I used to. I appreciate the hustle, but respect my intentions.

They called me "dirty" and said "some people are just like that." I change my filters myself after I get oil changes because they are always overpriced here, that was rude but I don't particularly care about what a "technician" has to say about me, it was just annoying.

STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE, if you value your hard-earned money, have self-respect for yourself and family, and value your life because driving without a way to signal is dangerous and illegal. IN SHORT GO TO ANY OTHER PLACE and avoid this. YOU DESERVE BETTER!

My car had been making a whirring noise when I started it. I dropped it off at noon on Wednesday. The technician called back and said that it wasn't making the noise when he started it, but suggested that it might only be making the noise in the cold; I could leave it overnight and they could see if it was making the noise in the morning. I have a nasty cold and wasn't planning to go anywhere on Thursday anyway, so I agreed; now that he mentioned it, I'd only been hearing the noise first thing in the morning when it was below 30 degrees. So far, so good. Thursday (today) rolls around. No calls. My nasty cold and I took a nap with the phone right next to the bed, sure I'd be woken by a call. Nope. I called them at 11 and they had no idea what I was talking about; they just had a sheet saying that the car was fine, and no one had told them to start it up again in the morning, so that was a giant waste of my time. They did find a nail in one of the tires (which no one had mentioned the day before). I said fine, go ahead and replace it. 2 pm rolls around. 3 hours since they said they were going to replace the tires, more than 24 hours since I dropped it off. I called them back and asked if my car was ready. No, it wasn't. They hadn't even started on it, because when I'd called and given the go-ahead to replace the tire, they hadn't quoted me a price, so they couldn't replace it yet. Why didn't they call me immediately after they realized they hadn't given me a price? Who knows? So, to recap: my car has been there for 26 hours and counting. They aren't addressing the thing that I dropped it off for, but they did find a nail in the tire after sitting on the car for almost 24 hours. And they refused to tell me any of this, or make any progress at all, until I called and begged them to do it. How will this saga end? Who knows? They've officially had my car for longer than I was in labor with my first child. Never again. Never. Again.
