Sooper Lube

I have had a few things done her and service is normally quick and priced fair. Good waiting area and friendly staff… Fast oil changes
The one star not earned is for SMOKING!!!
who in this day and age still smokes inside their business. YUCK!

We have been doing business with Steve for over 20 years. We have our oil changes and maintenance done on our vehicles. We feel their constant good care have helped the longevity as well as the safety of our 1999 Sonata and 1999 Ranger. Steve and his crew are honest and hard working, We appreciate the many little things too, like follow up calls, comfortable waiting room, and friendly front desk. Steve, is an independent businessman who respects his clients and the community. Thanks Sooper Lube and Steve!

Great business. Steve is honest and his employees are a real nice bunch of guys. I went in for an oil change and he wouldn’t do it, told me it wasn’t necessary yet and when I should come back. He filled the fluids and checked everything else out at no charge.

Just called to see if you need an appointment and if they had a line and whoever answered was just rude! Definetly not going here!

These guys were great. Very efficient and great service! The manager there runs a tight ship! They had me in and out in 10 minutes including the full inspection. The waiting room is much nicer than most — it’s clean, with padded seats, hot coffee, reading material, and even breakfast cookies in a tin! (Probably just for the holidays) conveniently located across the street from walgreens, I will definitely be back!

These guys are great! They have the best price in town for oil changes and are super fast. I don’t think I have ever been there for more than 15 minutes tops waiting for them to finish my car! There are closer places to my house but I’ll drive out of my way any day to make sure they get my business, they deserve it. They are fair and the customer always comes first here. Thanks Sooper Lube, see you in 3000 miles for my next oil change!!!

I’ve been remiss. I have used Sooper Lube since 1988. But I never thought to give Steve and his guys a boost. I come and go. I’m a total coupon whore. But I always find my way back to Sooper Lube. Because these guys treat oil changes seriously. Same guys been there for years. Honest work. Pricey? Yeah, I suppose, if you have a Jiffy Lube coupon bringing you down to $ 28, then I guess Sooper Lube is more costly. The kicker: Jiffy Lube is going to try to sell you cabin filters, air filters, injector cleanings and a transmission flush. Steve’s an independent. He doesn’t have Jiffy Lube Corporate staring over his shoulder. I’ve seen seven or eight managers come and go at the Jiffy Lube by Route 59 and North Avenue. Steve has had Sooper Lube purring like a cougar for 30 years. He’ll tell you if you need a tail light or an air cleaner.
He doesn’t try to ram extra nonsense down your craw.

When the brakes went out on my precious car I panicked. Luckily I was at work at Oak Brook shopping center and there was a Sears Auto Center in the mall for me to safely pull my car into. After almost three days in that shop they wanted almost $ 1000 for my repair! A friend recommended Sooper Lube so I had the car towed there. With the tow and the repair it costs more than half of what Sears was asking. Sooper Lube wants to fix the problem not make problems up to get more money like Sears did. And when I came to pick up my car Stevie, who I had only been in contact with over the phone prior, knew it was me before I even introduced myself. He was so friendly and welcoming. He explained everything that was wrong and what was done to remedy the problem. It was a blessing to learn about this location. They also have one in Joliet! I will definitely be bringing my business here from now on.

I love this place. Came in for a routine oil change and they proactively fixed an awful rattling noise that was so bad I couldn’t drive with my windows down. That, my friends, is service! :D
Owner and staff are always cool and friendly and for some reason, I really like their waiting room. Great place

This place should be name should be Super-sloppy…I had my brake done about one year ago on my Toyota Camry. They replaced all pad and rotors on the front and back for about $ 600. All was fine until recently heard a squealing on and off sound from my rear brakes. My neighbor who is a mechanic took a look at my brakes and discovered the caliper pins on both sides were super dry and my pad unevenly worn and the rubber boot intact… so the pads we sticking on poorly lubricated pins… Clearly someone did not do what they should have and I had to have my rear brake done all over again with hardly 10,000 miles on them. So they have lost my business and earned this negative review.

We have taken… or had towed… our cars to Steve for years. He’s as honest as the day is long, won’t price gouge, does quality work, and if you need something out of his scope of expertise he has shops that he trusts to perform the work to his standards & pricing. He’s a hometown guy… lives here, runs his business here, supports many community activities!

I was driving by this shop and my service light flashed red and said I needed to turn off the engine immediately! When I pulled into this shop they took me in right away and filled my coolant! I was back on the road within minutes and they didn’t charge me for it! I will now be giving them my business going forward! The guys were great and I was back on the road in less then 5 minutes!

I have taken all my cars to Sooper Lube for regular oil changes, filters, and other simple automotive maintenance work.
When Wife’s Highlander needed the «100K» Preventive Maintenance [i.e. Timing Belt, Tune-​Up, etc.] I checked into Dealers and other full-​time repair shop. Not only was Steve at Sooper Lube competitive, he came in under estimate! Now, the Highlander is running better than ever.
Trust Steve! He wants your business today, as well as tomorrow!

The maintenance light on my car goes on and I know what my car wants: fresh oil! Though my husband usually changes my oil himself, it’s been pretty damn cold and I didn’t think he’d want to do it. I also needed it changed sooner rather than later, since my car is pretty old and I had to drive into the city. I didn’t want my car breaking down, so I went to Sooper Lube to get my oil changed.
The whole process took 10 minutes tops. They let me know that they couldn’t do my air filter because the screws were stripped but the woman at the desk told me that I could make an appointment to fix that in the future if I wanted. They did a quick check of my car, said everything looked good and it was all done! I really appreciated that they didn’t try to BS me about anything or say something was wrong with my car when it wasn’t. My total came to about $ 35, which is a bit more than, say, Jiffy Lube, but you get much better service here and you’re supporting a local business.
Everyone here is also really nice. A few years ago, my husband was trying to change my oil and saw that the screw was stripped, likely done when my car was taken in to Jiffy Lube and they use that automatic screw thing. He tried taking it to the Jif to see if they could take it off so he could replace it and they wanted to charge him for it. He finally went to Sooper Lube and they did it for free! Even though we weren’t getting the oil changed there, they had no problem helping him out. Next time I need any maintenance done on the car, I’m definitely coming back. It’s close by, has quick service and is run by good people.

Great service as always, prices are good and the one thing you know you can trust is that when they tell you you need a repair you really do. No scamming here like many auto repair places.

This place is a JOKE!!! Called em on the phone and asked what they charged for a tire plug. He tells me $ 15. I had my car towed there and the deusch bag and the front desk told me he didn’t have a tire machine. Just 45 minutes earlier they said they could plug the tire. Hmmmmm. Bad for buisiness don’t you think! Regardless, this place is a joke, don’t give them a penny of your hard earned money. Ended up costing me more money to have towed. somewhere else. Guess it wasn’t worth his time!!!

Been taking my cars here for 10 – 12 years. They’ve always been polite, courteous, competent, and have always done their best to get me out as quick as possible. I’ve had a couple times I’ve taken it in, and they were very honest with telling me I didn’t need to be serviced.
The first time, was for an oil change. They very easily could have simply done the oil change and sent me on my way. Instead, after looking at my vehicle, they told me I was good and I didn’t need it. They didn’t charge me a dime to look at it. They simply thanked me for stopping by and sent me on my way.
The second time was when the brake sensor went on. Since I’m a creature of habit, I figured I take it there to see if they could do my brakes. I drive an Audi, and instead of trying to BS me & milk me on a high end brake job they weren’t capable of doing. They were very straight forward and honest with the fact that the brakes on an Audi are very complicated, and they simply weren’t equipped to do them. Which is VERY refreshing to hear a mechanic say. (BTW… I wound up going someplace else for the brake job and didn’t receive the same level of honesty).
I would certainly feel comfortable recommending people entrust their cars with them.

There was no question: I was their last customer of the day, literally. Many places would have balked, groaned, lowered the service doors down intentionally, but not here. Steve and company handled this with their usual business like finesse; courteous and to the point and I was in and out. Though there were 2 other customers in bay, they never seem to break their stride. Thanks guys, and keep it up.

I brought my Grammas car in for an oil change. As soon as I pulled in Steve recognized the car as hers and asked if she was ok. (She’s a long time Villa Park resident) I was very touched that he not only knew it was her car
(before putting her plate # in the system) but that he asked about her.
I got an oil change and a brake light replaced. Being a girl, I usually get hassled about other services like I’m naïve. I didn’t get that here and it was nice. I will be a customer forever. THANKS STEVE!
Oh, and I told my Gramma you said Hi, she smiled and said to say «Hello». :)

I have been coming to this place for years, I cannot believe I never reviewed it! This is the local, locally owned car repair/​oil change spot, and it happens to be owned by by in-​laws neighbor/​my friend’s uncle. Yeah… it’s VP… everyone knows everyone… literally. smalltownlove. Anyways… the service is always super friendly and prompt. I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait longer than like 15 minutes for a full service oil change, which is nice since I’m usually packin’ two kids with me! Yikes for all involved!
The prices are a little higher than, say, a Jiffy Lube, but from what I hear about places like that, you are better off spending a little more and getting great quality service. They also have a repair side of the shop that can fix your shit if it breaks down on you! =] I have and will always recommend SL to friends and family because they are locally owned and treat you like family! So if you’re in the VP area and are in need of an oil change, etc., head on in to SL and see what I’m talking about!
PS…the Windy Tiki Hot Dog stand is in the parking lot during the week (not sure about weekends) from like 9AM to 4ish… they are supposed to have some good biscuits and gravy in the morning that sells out… try it out!
