Hamid has been my oil change guy for almost 17 years. He's great and goes above and beyond.

My wife and I been here twice and they never disappoint. I think the price is fair and they're super fast!

The guys at the Pit Stop do a really good job for oil changes. Been going here for the past 20+ years and I'm in and out in about 10-15 minutes! Hameed and his family are really personable and provide great customer service! Good dudes! read more

Waited over an hour because they did not have my filter. Also, they over charge at this place. Don't recommend this place.

Amazing place for a very fast and efficient ! Was in a hurry and they were able to fit me in ASAP. The gentleman and his team were very polite and knew to get me in and out Thank you guys I will definitely come back here again !! read more

Honest, fair and diligent! Their estimate was spot on with ZERO hidden fees. They gave me a price and when all was said and done it was the price they had given me. They also checked my tire pressure and found that the person who put them on didn't put the correct pressure in. Some were under inflated and two were over inflated. They balanced them out and didn't even charge me. Solid bunch of dudes here. Had me out in 20 mins even though there was a line. My new "go to" place for service. read more

They may be "speedy" but they are not thorough. I went here for an oil change and they took me in quickly. We pulled in and waited for the oil change to happen but mid changing there was a lot of people who were constantly talking to the guy who was changing my oil. And all I could think was, I hope he's paying attention. About a few days later I had a long drive and on the freeway I kept hearing scrapes on every bump on the freeway or speed bump. I was out of town so I couldn't go back to them. Because of the long drive the sound was getting worse. Went to a mechanic and he said whoever did your oil change didn't slide in the bottom panel correctly and it got damaged and bent on the drive. So now I have to pay $$$$ for replacing and installation to the new part. I can't believe one oil change created an expensive problem. I would get your oil change elsewhere. read more

This place is great! I needed an oil change and a transmission fluid flush, so I called ahead but was able to just show up. I was helped right away, they didn't pressure me to buy any extra services, and staff was friendly and worked quickly. I'll for sure be coming back when I need an oil change read more

This place has fair prices an thier quality of work is top notch. They are very honest never price gouge additionally the employees are very friendly you will notice right away is every employee is hard working. I have been using them for 6 years, I highly recommend them. read more

It was my first time coming in today to get an oil change. The owner and son were really nice and tell you things to look out for so your car is safe and up to date. I would go here again to get my oil changed. To those of you who plan of coming here, just be aware it's right next to the railroad tracks so it's a bit hard to find. read more

These guys are friendly, straight to the task, and a good price within good timing. It's definitely a go to spot in Fremont.

I've come here three times with our two cars despite living up near Downtown Hayward. We have a 2014 Chevy Volt and a 2015 Chevy Spark. They've always been very kind and upfront about the costs before anything is done to the car. Yes, it is a bit hard to find at first, but so are the best hole-in-the-wall restaurants! I appreciate their work and transparency and will be coming back for years to come. If they don't have the type of oil, etc. that your car needs, they offer to get it for you within 10-15 minutes so you can have everything done within 30. Normally, they do complete what they need to do in 10 minutes (usually we are here for just an oil change), but they do let you know if you are going to be here a little longer than advertised. read more

Great price, nice guys and fast! I will definitely be back for all my future oil changes. read more

This shop is a pain to find. It's down a tiny little alleyway behind another shop off a busy street, with poor signage. The pricing is fine and the staff is friendly and communicative, but there's not really anywhere to sit or wait. It's also never taken only 10 minutes, despite the place's namesake. read more

I've been to this location for oil changes exclusively 3 or 4 times over the course of the past year or two. After what I discovered over the course of my last change was so appalling I can't recommend this place to anybody. If you were my friend, I would tell you to avoid this place at all costs. After a week of driving after my last change I noticed oil leaks on my driveway. I suspected it was just an "old car" thing (even though I never had problems before). I go to an auto shop to get it checked. They lift up my car and the culprit of my leak- A LOOSE OIL DRAIN PLUG. The guy shows me and he was able to tighten it a little WITH HIS BARE HANDS. So he proceeds to tighten it correctly and topped off my oil (which I had to pay for, an avoidable cost if, you know, oil didn't leak from the loose plug). I figured fine, that's the last straw, I'll just change the oil myself from now on. I was under the car yesterday and guess what? Not only did these guys not tighten my plug correctly, THEY DIDN'T PUT IN A CRUSH WASHER DURING MY LAST CHANGE. Who knows how long they've been doing this half-job for? Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. If they didn't screw up, I wouldn't have been able to personally see what a poor job they do for probably all their customers. Who knows, maybe everybody who's been serviced here is missing a washer. I'm glad I caught it sooner than later, but please beware! read more

Found this place on yelp and decided to give it a try. I'm giving it a 4 star rating because of cosmetic reasons, I mean cosmetic because there is no place to sit. You have to sit outside where there is old lawn furniture. No room with AC. And the place is kind of hidden. The service....excellent! The gentlemen that work there are fast and efficient. They did a really good job and had great attitudes. Prices were reasonable, pretty standard. I would recommend this place and will come back here. read more

I've never been to a drive through oil change before until now...it was an awesome experience, great value, fast, friendly and efficient...this is the only place I plan on going to from now on...and it really is no more that 10 minutes! read more

I went for an oil change and it was very fast-- no more than 10 mins. The workers are friendly and wore masks due to COVID.

I have no one to blame but myself. Maybe my error will save someone else money. I was referred to pit stop by a business associate. The price was good. The service was supposed to be fast. Wrong on both accounts. It took more than 30 minutes. The bill was 3 times the advertised rate. The technician charged me more because he could not access the oil filter: "it was under a cover". Last time I had it changed they didn't have problems. My car is a Ford how hard could it be. Unfortunately I did not have time to argue over the bill. Never again! read more

I haven't even gone to this place yet, but I called to ask for pricing on oil change. They close at 5pm. I called at 4:57PM. They told me they are closed and to call and ask tomorrow. 1. It's 3 minutes before you close, you can answer my question. 2. I had ONE question and told him I'm not coming in until tomorrow and just want to know the price. He goes "okay" and hangs up on me. That was so rude, and I'm trying very hard not to call back and cuss him out. Glad I found out before going there. Thanks for nothing. read more

OIL & TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE I had a couple of errands to do today. I needed to get an oil and a transmission oil change today. I was planning to go to Brookvale 76 Gas & Service Station in Fremont as I have in the past. However a lot has changed regarding that station. A receptionist said the mechanic won't be in until 11AM. So I decided to try this place. I heard about the quick service is as stated by the name of this station. I got there around 9:15AM. The mechanic started changing the oil at 9:23AM. So I timed the process. With the oil and transmission oil change I knew the process wouldn't be 10 minutes; I was hoping it would be 15 minutes. The mechanic was done at 9:43AM. I was going to give this station a 3-star rating however I got a discount for the transmission oil change. The owner said the transmission oil change cost about $145, but he charged me $79. Will I come back here again? Yes but next time I won't request a transmission oil change. I really want to see how accurately quick this station provides the oil change. Is it really 10 minutes only? The time starts clicking the next time I go there. read more

the new owners are trying to upsell you on everything. they charged me 90$ for just a simple synthetic oil for my 09 civic. even though other place they would charge you op to around 70 or less with synthetic oil as well they would include some extra stuff like check lighting and add maintenance history of oil change to Carfax but they did not do that. all they did is oil change and add water to my windshield. read more

This place is fishy , called in morning asking 2015 bmw 328 oil change cost, guy said 85 plus tax , few hours later when I step in their door, number changed to 105 plus tax , I was asking why price jumped ? The guy told me because the oil filter if not I can go to bmw get my own oil filter, the thing is their oil filter is not even from bmw. read more

The Pit Stop is a great place to get your oil change. The owner always helps me, he is very nice. I've gotten my oil change in less than 15 mins on a non busy day. Another visit to the pit stop the owner notices I have a crack in my belt he offered to order the part and have one of his guys go pick it up to get my car done faster. read more

Yelp has let me down. I am not sure how this place ranks 4.5 stars. My car has been way overdue for an oil change - finally decided to get it done. I normally pull coupons off the Internet and do a little bit of research, but this time, I was in a hurry and just wanted to get it done. Pull up Yelp, find The Pit Stop-Ten Minute Oil Change, see 4.5 stars and reviews saying "reasonably priced". Great - I'll just take my car here. First off - this place is a little hard to find - I think I drove past it 2 or 3 times before I saw the sign and a shop at the end of a very long driveway. It looks a bit hokey, but whatever, it got good reviews on Yelp. The guy starts to work on my car after several minutes. I noticed that he moved very slowly and I wonder to myself how can this place be called "The Pit Stop". There was also nowhere to sit - I had tried to open the door to what I believe to be the main office - it was locked! Greeeat. As my oil was being done, I just didn't have a good feeling about this place. It felt a little creepy as well. Overall, it took over 10 minutes - probably about 15. I was charged an extra $5. I was pretty peeved about this - the sign said $23.95 for oil changes. My car is very basic (4 cylinder 10+ yr old import car) so I should be paying that price. When I questioned the extra $5, it was because my car required 5 quarts of oil - the special price is for under 5 quarts. Uhhhmmmm....most specials at other shops give up to 5 quarts. My total cost - $34. They also make their customers drive their own cars into and out of the garage. If you're a crappy driver, make sure you don't accidentally drop your wheel into the hole in the floor. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Service is good, and they're friendly. I think they need a much cleaner environment and more focus on safety. They let clients walk around in working areas, that to me is a lawsuit waiting to happen, but other then that I can only say good things about them. Thank you guys you're awesome!! read more

My go-to mechanic in Bay Area. The boss Hamid is such a good guy. I always feel like he and his staff are honest with me about any needed repairs. The last time I went in, I wanted to get some things done. Hamid told me my A/C filter was still good for few thousand miles, so I could wait on that. That's honesty! And while working on other things for my car, they also helped change out a blinker lightbulb, clean off some battery acid, rotated and filled wheels with air. Those last 3 tasks they didn't even charge me for. That's excellent customer service! Between the honesty and fantastic customer service, it's no wonder I continue to go to Pit Stop! Would highly recommend them! read more

Fast service I was in and out in 10 min the quickest oil change I ever had the most friendly service too! They even topped off my fluids without asking. the customer service is nice they treat you with respect. It's a business I'll continue to go and the price is not that bad for a Jeep a lot cheaper than the dealer. read more

If you pass the railroad tracks on Fremont Blvd, then you missed this spot. I needed to get a quick oil change done since I've been putting it off for months. I did a quick search on Yelp and found this place. Once I arrived here, there was only one car ahead of me. I didn't start my initial timing until it was mine turn. When the car ahead of me was done, I was greeted in a friendly manner. The tech took some information from me and guided me in to the oil changing bay. I didn't have to exit my car for the procedure to be completed. I just sat in my car observing everything. While sitting in my car, the boss's office was literally side by side to me. From there he re-verified the info I provided and took my payment from there. He also gave me some tips on how to make my car perform much better. Besides the oil and air filter change, I had my tire pressure checked and had fluids topped. The service took a little over ten minutes. Twelve minutes to be exact. It was also pricier than what I'm used too, but sure beats a 30 minute plus wait. If your a procrastinator and need a quick oil change, give this place a try. read more

Went to my usual place, Speedee on Thornton. Stood in line for several minutes just to ask how long the wait would be.....yeah so I didn't really want to wait 10 minutes to ask about the wait time. They looked very busy. Yelped this place real quick and thought I'd give it a try. Most important things about an oil change to me = price and wait time. They did well on both. I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. I paid $38 and was on my way. Happy customer!!! :) read more

I can't recommend this place enough. They are always friendly and efficient when getting my oil changed. So easy to get in and out !

First of all let's just say, I'm a newbie on here and this is my 2nd post tonite. The first one was a one star, this one, wish I could increase it to 10 stars. I'm seriously impressed at the knowledge and know how of Steve and his staff. I thought my 2004 Honda Civic had bad bearings (105k miles). I took it two different Automotive shops in Fremont and had them look at it, and sure enough both told me that it would be $300 each side, ughhh! I had an oil change coming up, so I decided to try The Pit Stop. I had passed by them everyday for the last 13 years, so decided to give them a try. I contacted them via phone and they assured me a yelp oil discount (yea!). After they changed the oil in the car I asked Steve about my bearings. He looked surprised and asked me about the miles on the car and a few other questions pertaining to how my car felt on the road. He said, "lets go for a ride", so I hopped in with him and off we went down Fremont Blvd. After driving a few miles we returned to the shop and Steve proceeded to put the car on the lift. He told me to put my ears to the tires whilst he turned it, and sure enough there was that sound. He informed me that this was not the bearings, but in fact the new tires I had just gotten that were making that noise (thanks Walmart tires!). Needless to say, I was blown away by his knowledge and honesty. He could have easily got me for a few hundred dollars, but was honest and knowledgeable enough to discern bearing vs tire noise, WOW! Steve, if you're reading this, I really appreciate your honesty! I will be back and send countless family, friends, and co-workers to your shop! read more
