Hutch’s Quik Lube

Viktoria is really hands on n knows the car she’s oil changing. I’d recommend her. She’s knowledgeable n a expert at how your car needs servicing. She’s there on Tuesdays n Thursdays. Other oil places rip you off but they keep it square over there.

Great customer service! Took great care of me AGAIN! This isn’t the first the I come and get great service. They’re so consistent! Kevin is an awesome guy and I appreciate his kindness and care. I get lucky and he’s been the one taking care of me! Get your oil change here and you get a free wash too! Awesome, all around!

Whereas the employees were courteous, I will not be returning there for an oil change.
I really questioned if they had indeed changed the oil. Everything happened so quickly.

Fast reliable service the staff really know there stuff Victoria and Harrison were really helpful and curious very friendly staff

I hate to write the negative review, because the people are friendly but…
I’ve gotten my oil changed there twice. The first time was before a road trip to Michigan. The man changing my oil both times had the same engine as me so I trusted him to take care of my car.
1) After getting to Michigan I had to replace all 4 tires due to overinflation wear. I had my oil changed again when I returned and after looking at my receipt I discovered he’d filled my tires to 40 psi (32 psi is the max for my car).
2) When I got my oil changed after returning from Michigan, the man insisted that I just needed a top off and not a change. I told him that, while it’s only been a month since I’ve been in, I’ve driven 3,000 miles and need it changed. He still insisted that I just need a top off. I had to continue to tell him to change it.
3) While I was waiting for my fuel system to be cleaned, another man working there commented to the man who’d just changed my oil that he’d put a Honda filter in my car (I drive a Pontiac). His response was that it holds more oil. I wasn’t asked if it was okay to do this.
4) I took my car to my mechanic because of an oil leak three weeks after having my oil changed there. The mechanic checked my oil levels to see how much I’d been leaking. My oil was still 0.5−1 quart ABOVE what it was supposed to be (contributing to my leak).
The free car wash is nice, but I paid too much to have everything done wrong.
If you want your car cared for the way the factory says it should be, go somewhere else.

I didn’t oil change for my car with Budah this is the best service I recommend people to come back to see budah

Henry is working hard! The only guy here on a Sunday and has a long line waiting and still has a smile on his face. Great job.

First time bringing my car here and what can I say. The people there are super nice and really care about your car. But they tend to tell you things that DONT need to be fixed or they say that your car requires synthetic oil only. It’s a bit pricey for an oil change but I’m new here so I just went to a place that’s closest to where I live.
The service was quick, probably the quickest oil change I’ve experienced. All I did was sit in the car and just watched them.
They top you off on water and windshield fluid :) plus a free car wash with your yellow receipt and it never expires!

Everytime I come here, I’m helped by a nice guy named «H» (I think Harrison). He never tries to sell me unnecessary services, always has a smile, and is friendly and helpful! I think he has helped me the last three or four times I have been here. Excellent service keeps me coming back. Great job!

Fantastic. Super fast and were able to work on thw so called damaged oil drain plug with no problems. You also get a free car wash and clean.

Wow, I’m surprised to see some of the negative reviews! My husband just got back from this place with such a wonderful experience. He went in for a simple oil change and was in and out within 20 minutes if that. He told me they were very friendly, gave him the free car wash coupon, and did not press any services on him.

20 minutes oil change and car detailed. Works for me!

Always quality service. Kevin walked me through everything and was very friendly, even sang some of his commands to other workers, which I found very amusing. Been coming here for a while, will be coming back for as long I can. Just had to do a shout out to Kevin for his awesome service! And can never argue with a free carwash

I have used this place for oil changes for the last few years. They are quick and you get a free car wash. You stay in your car and they do the oil change, check tires and the basic fluid check. Sometimes they offer punch or lemonade. They always try and up sell something like transmission or cabin air filters, which is not a bad thing, just overpriced.

Very disappointed on how slow the service is. They pick and choose if your oil change will be 10 minutes or 30 minutes. And if you tell them that you only want oil service, they still waste time attempting to up sell for a higher service. Never again.

Love the guys at the oil change station there always nice. Sometimes they offer you drinks. They check all the fluids, tiers, etc and you get a free wash out of it all. It’s not that expensive & a good place to go if you don’t know how to do it yourself or are just in a hurry!

I’ve been using Hutch’s for over five years. I’ve found them trustworthy, competent and knowledgeable. Their staff is responsive, friendly and turnover is low. At $ 39.95 they’re more expensive than the so-​called in and out places, but they actually do the work, actually check everything, actually replace and tighten the drain plugs, and use premium lubricants and fluids. At one time in my life I was an auto service manager, so I know much more than I let on, and they are always honest. And yes, the «free» $ 18.95 car wash is included in the $ 39.95 package. The Car Wash folks WILL try to upgrade you to expensive wax packages, but they respect «no thanks.» The complementary job includes hand buffing and detailing, and the detailers do so much work inside and out that I always want to tip them.

I am a little shocked to see their page being reviewed so badly because my 3 years of experience behind the wheel and these guys are the best.
For someone who pretty much has no actual knowledge of cars, these guys have helped me out a lot. Of course, I don’t do all my business with them but whenever I need an oil change I go here.
Their oil change is 40 dollars and it comes with a list of stuff. They check almost all the fluids in your car: radiator fluid (I would have had no knowledge of this if it weren’t for them, controls the temperature of your cars engine).
When I got my oil changed the time they informed me on my oil change, I declined at first but I kept in mind that the amount was low. Next time I pulled in I knew how much it was and how important it was as well.
This place has kept me informed on my cars condition and has really helped out with the overall function of it.
These guys will try and sell you stuff and are pretty persistent with it, but you have the power to say no. Over and over again.
The main reason it is getting 5 stars is because it’s kept informed and has educated about my own vehicle. My car would not be in the great condition it is in without them. Oh, and a free car wash on top of that, so total worth it.

I’ve been going to Hutch’s for years, but that has stopped now. I will go to Castro Valley Tire Pros (formerly Big O Tires in C.V.) now for my oil changes. I trust them because they will tell me when I bring the car in for new tires that it can go longer; or when I take it in for a wheel alignment they will check it to specs and tell me it’s good, no charge! With the money I save I can go anywhere for a full service wash.
I had a leak of of some kind showing under my car in the garage that I couldn’t figure out. It went on for months before I got around to doing something about it. Since I’d been to Hutch’s during that time for service and they didn’t tell me of any problems, I made the mistake of taking it to the Toyota dealer and paid $ 600 for a transmission fluid change and oil change. They found that the gasket on the transmission oil pan plug had worn out. Replacing that $ 2 part fixed the problem. Hutch’s should have noticed this. The same thing happened a year later with the crankcase oil pan plug. Now, this is something Hutch’s removes and re-​installs every time I’m in there, but did they replace it or tell me about it leaking? No! I had to tell them to check for the leak and they only then replaced it.
Don’t fall for their «transmission flush» because they don’t flush it. They just drain whatever comes out when they pull the plug and top it back up. That leaves about half the dirty fluid in the trans and next time you come in they’ll show you how it is still dirty and tell you you need another «flush».
For years they marked on my computerized bill that the battery on my 2007 Avalon was sealed. Then when the battery went dead I discovered that it was not a sealed battery and the fluid was completely dry.
Now, they always have a service they are pushing. Sometimes it’s the transmission flush, next time it’s the coolant flush or the steering fluid flush. Last time I took my wife’s car in they told me I needed a fuel injector cleaning, but the car was running fine. Other times they seem to be pushing interior filter replacements. These are all very expensive add-​ons and maybe some of them are needed, but when you get burned once, you never trust them again.
I’ve not experienced the nightmare that Arwin A. did as detailed here, but I do know you must watch them like a hawk to make sure they do what they say they do. If they are not pushing transmission «flushes» you’ll have to ask them to check the trans, because they often won’t. Same thing with the tire pressure.
The car wash is another deal of pushing add-​ons. Read my review elsewhere on Unilocal of the treatment I get there.

*DISCLAIMER: THEY DON’T REALLY CHANGE YOUR OIL!
I’ve been going to Hutch’s for YEARS and it has been the only place I had ever got my oil changes at, therefore they are the ONLY ONES to blame for what happened to my car.
I am very diligent about getting oil changes and it wasn’t even due for a change, yet my car broke down in the middle of the freeway. My engine just stopped running and once it was taken to the shop, the guy told me that it was because I haven’t gotten my oil changed in a while and it was so thick and dirty that residue had gotten into my engine and I needed to replace my motor.
UMMM… WHAT?! In August, along with my oil change, I had gotten a transmission oil change for an extra $ 100 or so at Hutch’s. All I can say is WOW. My car is being donated now as it is quite frankly not worth replacing. Even though it was a lemon, I’m still utterly horrified that my oil has not truly been changed in more than 2 years by them!
Also, my car was a SAAB and while regular oil changes there cost $ 30, they always charged me $ 65 for the «premium» oil they used on my foreign car.
EFF YOU HUTCH’S. SERIOUSLY.
