Kwik Kar Lube Tune & Express Wash

I came here for an oil change and car wash, they charged $ 45 for oil change and did not even come to me and talk about any other maintainence activity. In the car wash I saw my car being hit by another vehicle from behind. I raised a concern with the management and they complete ignored me. Not going to this place even in worst case.

This is always my go-​to place for any oil changes, general maintenance, or if anything is ever wrong with my car really. It is under new management and I was really impressed with the service. Everyone knows if you go to places they try to tell you you need 50 things you don’t actually need, this place doesn’t. They are honest and don’t try to trick you out of your money. The knowledge the managers have about cars is astounding! I love this place and will keep going back. Free car wash too with any service! Tyler is awesome!

Had a flat tire with a nail in it. Called and asked if they could fix it, the answer on the phone was they could plug it. When I got there was told they could plug it but a plug was only a temporary fix and they suggested I go to a place that could plug and patch it; much safer. And while I was going to go with just the plug they really discouraged it. Was impressed that they turned away business so they get a 5 star from me. I didn’t go to the place they recommended because I passed Discount Tire on Forest Lane that I had seen on Unilocal as highly recommended before I got to the place Kwik Kar recommended.

I blew out a radiator in Dallas this week. They discouraged me from taking my car to a dealership because it would be too expensive… I was stuck in Dallas because the repair took two days longer than originally predicted then charged me $ 1700.
They showed me super glued hose clamps that they «found.» I think they broke it…
I also watched the owner of the shop take my car for a test drive and proceed to hit speed bumps at 25 mph! I expressed my concern unhappiness and he completely ignored me. He was rude and I do not trust them one bit!
I took the car to a dealership upon my return home and the car required further work. Unless you need a quick oil change do not go here!
CROOKS!

There is a certain level of BS expected when one goes to any mechanic. This place surpasses that expected level ten-​fold. I was forced to come here due to circumstances beyond my control, and I was weary from the start. My car was old and needed significant work done (I’m using past-​tense because they fried the engine, and my car no longer IS). I considered and wish I had brought it to another mechanic once these guys figured out what was wrong. Save yourself thousands of dollars and do not let these guys do anything other than change your oil. Amateur hour! Actually, I wouldn’t even do that here because I’m sure they would end up ripping you off somehow. I am calling AAA right now to tell them about my experience and try to get them to remove this location from their list of recommended mechanics.

Quickest oil change!
The workers here were very friendly and you receive a complimentary car wash with your oil change. I also received a $ 15 rebate for my next oil change. I will definitely come back here

Absolutely love this place. A mom and pop shop. They make sure you get rebates on your oil change AND a free car wash afterwards.

Cool!
Three years after getting ripped off from these guys, the battery (which was not all that great to begin with) has died and I now need to pay for a tow to the service appointment that I was going to take my car to. It’s the rip-​off that keeps on ripping you off!
I have to say that going to these «mechanics» was one of the worst experiences I had when moving to Texas. Thank you so much for giving me a lousy impression of the state right off the bat!

Do not go here!
Truly hope this place has changed management.
This hidden cost, up selling joke of a business is not to be trusted.
Walked out with a $ 60 oil change (non synthetic) due to some special filters that me told me about AFTER the fact.
It is about $ 35 – 40 everywhere else in the world. Judging by the jailhouse tats, most of these guys had done time. I am all for rehabilitation programs, truly I am, but these guys were just plain dishonest and shady.
Best thing about it is it’s location, and sadly that is what will likely keep the business alive.

I can’t stand an upsell location. Always adding in hidden charges etc. Your filter costs more yadadadadada bunch of boloney. So I left won’t be back and recommend you go someplace that gives a price stands by it and doesn’t try to scam you. HONESTY is key. At least I wasn’t there long enough to have them steal anything.

The second time I went here was on Wednesday ⁸⁄₁₃ was not good. I had my car washed again and I have never been some were, were they will put dressing on the tire and not at least whip the rim off. Which the rim had dust and dirt from the rain. Not only that the car still had dust on it. How did the guy not see that. I know it was closing time but that is not excuse. Because of this I will not be returning to this car wash. I dislike LAZINESS PERIOD! Very unhappy customer.

Do not go here! We had our car washed and the next day discovered my Apple ITouch missing. When my husband went back to see about the missing ITouch they accused him of taking the ITouch and trying to get money. Not only are we out an ITouch we were treated like criminals. Bottom line my car wash cost over $ 300.

My husband and I used to take our cars here for oil changes and what not. However, this last time I went I was extremely disappointed.
First, the two mechanics kept giving me contradictory information for what was needed on my car.
Second, when I got back into my car one of the mechanics had swiped the spare change I keep in my cup holder.
We will not be going back.

The first time I went it was great. I would have given them 5 stars. Today it was bad, one star bad. I asked for a wash & vacuum — he was done in 5 minutes and there was still dog hair ALL over the inside of my car. They weren’t busy, the dude today was just lazy. He didn’t even try to vacuum my car. I had to go home and do it myself.

Used these guys for every service for my car since 2005. They rate an A+ on friendliness, cleanliness, speed and I’ve enjoyed using them. The reason I didn’t rate them 5 stars is I have a real problem with their «recommended services» that they try to sell you.
They don’t recommend these services based on your actual car’s needs they suggest these «add-​ons» based on your mileage. They tried to sell me a brake flush (the most unnecessary service on the planet) 3 times in one year, after I had already purchased it the first time. Didn’t they realize I had already done that once this year?
I have been smelling oil and had some smoke coming through my A/​C vents for awhile but since it’s relatively old car and they never said anything I just shrugged it off as being an old car thing. Well this month for the first time I took it to a different oil change place and the mechanic told me I has a really small leak and needed to replace the oil gasket. All this time and no one at Kwik Kar ever said anything. That disappointed me.
They are consistently so nice and fast that I would never say a rude word about them, I just learned a valuable lesson that it’s a good idea to switch it up and take your car somewhere different every now and then.

I have gone to this Kwik Kar location with three different vehicles since around 1998. The owner is very hands on to make sure that your experience is top notch. I drive about 5 miles out of the way every time to go to this Kwik Kar location. I got the tip from «Ed Wallace» on 570 KLIF way back when and have never looked back. They are thorough and make sure that you have all of your scheduled maintenance done for your vehicle. They also give you a free car wash with your oil change. What more could you ask for?
Thank you Holland family!

Needed to get a quick oil change before I had to go into work. The staff is nice and their place is clean in the waiting area.

Kwik Kar’s being a franchised business can be a bit of a hit or miss as far as quality of service. I’ve had good and bad from different locations. Mark this one up for the bad. I took the car in for an oil change and cannot believe the up-​sell nonsense I was getting. Car is low mileage yet they wanted to sell me an engine flush, power steering flush and repair miniscule spots in the windshield. I liked the fact that I got a «free» car wash but I can get that at the dealer for the same price or less when I have coupons. Won’t be going back to this one.

Kwik Kar is a great place to get your vehicle maintenance, car washed, or both. The service is quick and they walk you step by step on suggested repairs.

I’ve been going to this Kwik Kar for years. Even though I’ve moved further away, I keep driving back and here’s why…
1) They have Sunday hours. For whatever reason, I seem to never get around to auto chores on Saturday. But, they’re open Sunday giving me a chance to get that oil change or vehicle inspection done.
2) They’re quick. Ok, maybe they’re «Kwik» but the point is even during rushes, I seem to be in and out in a reasonable amount of time before I start pacing or resorting to reading «Woman’s Day» magazine in their lobby.
3) They almost always have Valvoline mail-​in rebate offers. It’s common to get between $ 7 and $ 20 back on Valvoline products. And, the wife of this husband and wife owned and operated franchise will always make a photocopy of the receipt so that I can keep it after mailing in the original!
4) Free car wash with every oil change. And they’ll give you a raincheck if you ask for when it’s raining or about to in the next few days.
5) They’re big on service. Everyone from the oil pit to the car wash line are friendly and courteous.
Go there, they’ll treat you right and stand behind their service!
