Service is good, people are skilled and efficient. Very helpful.

Abhishek Joshi

Had the pleasure of talking to Fadi Noni (Mike). A very honest straight to the point kind of guy. Made sure I understood everything he said and ensured he doesn't sway me in the direction of having to spend more money instead stick to what he would do instead. Thanks Fadi for being awesome. :)

People here are nice, honest and straight to the point. They try to work within your budget. Overall, this is my first time here and not my last. ????

Miles Stoudenmire

Service was professional. Waiting area was clean and free coffee was actually pretty good tasting. Got an emissions test and they did it very quickly.

Em Galloway

It is quick but they try to upsell a lot. Definitely not a fan of upselling. We know what we came to get and don't want to be pestered every time we go about how our car needs this and needs that and this package is better etc.

Shishir Parikh

Fast, Reliable work and awesome customer service. Sam will take of all your needs.

Always a fast and trustworthy experience. The mechanic remembered us from the last visit. Dependable and economic. Thanks guys!!!!

Rajiv Nair

Never ever go to this place, rude employee, not have any knowledge of work. Lies a lot and make fake charges for most of the parts. I just went to change oil and this guy made my life harder, had to visit this shop 3 days to fiix my problem. Don't not go to this shop. If you value your hard earned money. Most importantly take out all your belongings from car otherwise they stole and never accept. Stealing mask, unprofessional way of work after changing my carbonate filter they left my vehical in this stage.

Kyle Becker

The guys here are awesome, friendly and professional. They were able to get me in right away, allowed my dog to wait inside out of the cold. If they notice something under your car they will bring you out and kindly inform you of the situation. They even carry all oils and filters so I won’t have to visit the dealer first anymore. I would definitely recommend giving them a visit!

Very quick and polite service. Would come back again

archeryhime

Shout out to the guys that helped me over here. I had my G test scheduled and 2 days before a couple of my front lights decided to stop working because OF COURSE. I went in to this location on a reference and they saw me immediately, offered me a water, and replaced my lights with no hassles at all! If you guys are reading this, I thought you were all super chill, and I just wanted to let you know that I did indeed pass my test, thank you for your help! You will be seeing more of my business in the near future.

karthick Balaji

Ask for the T, the best guy, and great deals with quality service

Kamran Ahmed

Great customer and vehicle service!

Jim and Kathy McLean

I went there to swap out my tires summer to winter. They upsaled me to buy new lug nuts. When employee drove my car out to me my car smelt like pot and now 2 days later it still smells. On my way home I felt the wheel vibrating and heard a noise so I pulled over and 3 lug nuts on front right wheel were not even tightened. So an employee came to tighten for me.

Nikko Kroestch

No appointment needed and very quick service for oil changes. They even gave me a free air filter when I needed it because I come here often.

Shawn Zarudny

Great service! Really quick and provide good quality inspection and their rates are very reasonable. Would definitely recommend!

Kurtis Ginzel

Just dropped in and had never heard of the place. Great quick and friendly service! Just use the washroom before you go as it was not pleasant.

Matt Habermehl

The oil change I got was adequate (which is saying a lot for a lube shop: I've had terrible experiences at other places), but do keep in mind that you can't run a shop like this on $20 oil changes: the business model is one of up-selling, and you will invariably be asked to do a transmission or coolant flush, or some other up-sell. There is some mild sales pressure, but it is under the guise of customer service, so it's not too uncomfortable. A smile and a firm "no thank you" will suffice to end the pain. The $20 oil change includes the most basic oil, and the price goes up about $10 for each grade of oil. The service is fast and friendly. FYI, some lube shops allow you to sit in the car while the oil is being changes. This one does not, but the waiting room is pleasant enough and offers free coffee.

Gagan Deep

Excellent and quick service

AtoZmedia production

Very good they knew what they were talking about and were more then willing to explain things to me

Ben Durrer

Great shop. Always treat us well.

Eddy Brenes

Excellent customer service from Ben! Saved us a couple $ after Christmas season, and made sure our car was toped up with everything. I highly recommend coming here and speaking to Ben!

Mazen Bakhbakhi

Staff were nice at first but then one of their guys came out and was extremely rude and abrupt. Didn't listen to what I was saying and I decided to drive off and go to their Kitchener location where everyone was professional understood customer service and super helpful.

Angela Mugford

Amazing service fast and friendly

Jeff Gallant

Awesome service. In and out really quick. I live next to another lube place and drive 10 minutes to get here. Definitely recommend this place!

Kunal Bindra

Worst experience for a oil change. Will not be back

Tried to up-sell me un-necessary services the first time I came here a couple weeks ago. …

Convenient location, superior service, and the price is right. No high pressure tactics to sell add-ons.

Very friendily service and able to recommend needed fluid changes. Along with very reasonable price amd fast check out. I would recommend to my family members.

Kelly Freund-Bobier

Excellent customer service. Arvin explained the issues I had with my vehicle in terms I understood and sold me only what was needed. Even though I was spending money on the vehicle it was a pleasurable experience and I will, without a doubt, keep coming back to Economy Lube and more specifically this location. Well done. ????

Mikey curtis

They gave me a great deal on il change with oil spray..absolutely tetriffic

Michael Xiao

Fast and positive emission test service.

ICYY CURLSS

Upon entering Weber Street Economy Lube, I was greeted by a friendly gentleman with less than a five minute wait time. Also was offered coffee and water while I waited, the whole experience was very fast and pleasant especially for my first time getting any car services done, it exceeded my expectations!

Konur Ozcan

Myen Krish (MK27)

Excellent fast service. Underbody of car was sprayed and oil change was done for free. Excellent customer service.

Len Smits

Friendly, informative and fast!

Mo Yassin

Very unprofessional. Went in for a tire change, they ended up messing up my sensor on my all season tires. Missed appointment so I called "customer service" to address the issue, ended up talking to a guy who claimed he was the VP of the company, who subsequently threatened to call the police on me if I ever showed up to his shop again. I don't know whether he's tone deaf or plain slow up there but to utter threats to a customer who's POC regarding the police, with everything going on is one of the worst things I've ever heard. DO NOT ever set foot in this shop.

Bob Smith

Almost all the good reviews for Economy Lube on here are fake. They are notorious for lying and ripping people off. They did it to me. Please see the episode of Marketplace on CBC's website where they use hidden cameras to show how disgusting these scumbags are. Especially the owner Stephen Moxey and his loser sidekick Chris Muter as they tell their staff to steal from customers. After that episode aired on t.v. several of their locations closed. It's incomprehensible that they are still in business.

Christelanne Osterling

Nice guys. Coffee while you wait and my oil changed. Is there a better way to spend a Friday in town!!

Michael Krkt

I have just come by for oil change but they take a look all around the car. They are really helpful. Thank you.

Great service. Amazing people. Fast and friendly. They check entire car. Happy with the service.

Bernard Wong

I dropped off for oil change and guy showed me transmission fluid in cup has been darker color comparing with new one and offered lower price than other service with free oil change include. Thanks to him for reminding me I have been warned about it in the last three or four services ago (Pro-oil in Stratford). I presented coupon and not a problem. Excellent offering service and drive-satisfied before summer!!

Pushpinder singh

Lynette Molnar

Fast and efficient service, cheap prices and friendly employees. Definitely coming here for my next service! Love the coffee as well! Thumbs up from me.

K. G.

Spouse taking his car here for quite some time and have found out from the mechanic they use after market oil filters and have caused our car over $1500 damages because of non true oil changes never again going here and suggest you don't either. If the manager can reach out to us that would be GREATLY APPRECIATED

Nikita Revenko

Great place, understanding and affordable.

Tanveer Saund

Most unprofessional service ever in the tricity. They did a coolant flush of my car, which in the first place was not required, then left air bubbles in the coolant assembly which ceased my car's water pump it cost me 700 $

Kara Bruce

Came for an e-test and the location isn't too busy but has a nice flow of customers so waiting the 10 minutes isn't bad at all. Super chill friendly staff :)

Greg Ernest

I went in for an oil change and was told 5 times I needed my transmission oil changed. I just needed to get out of there and the staff would not take no for an answer. I would not suggest going here unless you feel like being scammed.

John L

10 mns oil change. fast and good service

Tara Duarte

I thought this place was going to be too good to be true, but it really is a great place to get an oil change within 10 minutes. They have the best price in town by far! $35 you really can't go wrong. Thanks guys!

Marie L

I don't even want to give this place one star, waited 40 minutes with our car up on the hoist for some guy to come and try telling us what is wrong with our car. Finally got our oil change and had to check our oil level and clarity ourselves before driving away, at which point we realized they didn't even give us a new sticker. Never going back again. 4 people working and it took 40 minutes just for a 10 minute oil change.

Jeremy Rade

Always fast and thorough. Pleasant and efficient.

Armand Kuenzler

Awesome staff great prices

Sanket Patil

Got an E-test done, quick and friendly service. Free coffee inside too!

cynthia cuff

Very friendly, Fast and knowledgeable!!

Justin Lee

Is this place still in business? They were on the news for scamming people for unneeded repairs and work. Mechanics were forced to lie to customers.

Emad Elmanoubi

The price is very low and great service the best one in town

Stephi Suarez

Terrible experience. I brought my car in for a simple oil change, and was told I needed a coolant service as well. I passed on it, knowing they were trying to sell more to me. However two days later my coolant light came on my dash and my car was overheating. I brought it in to a different mechanic and was informed that the gentlemen at Economy Lube had drained almost all my coolant knowing my car would overheat forcing me to book a service with them. Unbelievable that they would do this to someone just to make some extra money. Will not be taking my car here. Costs me more money in the end.

bev reynolds

They topped up my coolant no charge Great service here!

Bonnie Currie

This place is so honest that they have confirmed my faith in local business. I thought I needed a whole new exhaust system but instead they said I only needed a small part. They could easily have sold me the much more expensive option but they went the honourable route instead. I mentioned this to the owner and he said that he 'liked to make money but he also likes to be able to sleep at night'. I wish this man could teach this to other companies! Good for him. I'll be back for sure.

Joshua VanderDussen

Great service , great staff , quick , efficient , and professional ! Would reccomend this place to anyone !

andyythegreat

Called them and said i needed an oil change they had me in within 5 minutes and oil change and fluid top up was done within 10-15 minutes!! Extremely friendly and helpful they dont push you to purchase! Good spot for oil changes!

Renata Adamczyk

Friendly and fast service. Clean environment! Easy to find and can't beat the convenience.

grand schemer

I went in for an oil change, and an employee told me my back breaks were completely worn down. I declined to have them changed there, choosing to go to my mechanic instead. I went to my mechanic.. who showed me that I still had 85% pad left. Wasted my time and the mechanics time, and of course I'm angry they tried to rip me off.

Tim Hart

Good guys, polite and quick service. Did the work properly..

Mircea Florea

Great service. Staff is friendly and kind. I enjoy talking with them.

cyn thia

Excellent Staff and Service

Chetan Sharma

Will never visit here again. Should have checked the reviews prior to going there. The guys use flat lies to upsell their services. Told me that my suspension is about to die if I don't get it fixed right away. All I wanted was just an oil change. Charged me $100. I fell into their trap. Won't recommend it to anyone. They do oil change for less to fool the customer and to upsell.

Robel Berhane

They offered a good price and had great customer service. I was happy with my experience

Evan Woods

Fast, friendly and quality service. Highly recommended.

Zackery McHugh

They were quick, polite, friendly, and very effective! I would recommend to anyone looking for a good cheap quick oil change!!

Vlad Siyanov

Great prices, quick service!

Austin Fisher

DON'T TRUST THIS PLACE. This place tries to pay you $5 in Tim's Gift Cards to write them a positive review on Google Maps. They frequently try to scam customers into paying more money on things that are fine. They have fake "transmission oil" which they show you to get that looked after for a fee, are known to drain coolants intentionally trying to sabotage cars, and have fake "broken" parts on hand to show customers, acting as if it came from their car. Never has a scam been so obvious and deplorable. Don't trust them for even the simplest oil change, they may tamper with your car.

Jack Schueler

Got my wheels changed, winter for summer. Like the friendly atmosphere. Same day service.

J Force

Great service, fair price.

Matt Schweyer

Ready service, quality inspection and friendly personnel. Will come again.

Bryan Petrie

Very fast etest...hate having to do them so it was nice to get it done in a couple minutes.

SethDedun

Always a great experience at this location. Can always trust the guys to get things done and get us in and out quickly.

Ian Vrba

Very friendly and service is top notch.Not to mention that they goes above and beyond to find price that fits your budget.

Chris Lutka

Please note that Economy Lube advertises in store that you will receive a $5 Tim Hortons gift card for positive reviews. This will mislead those of you looking for honesty. Today I went in for an oil change. I do go for the full synthetic as it allows me to double my time between oil changes, especially since my oil change doesn't cover my specialty filter. My change cost me $76. I'm not griping about that. My issue is that with my service, I should have received a fluids top up. I consider windshield washer fluid as part of the premium service. It was not topped up. I had to add about 3L, which I always carry with me in the winter, while in a parking lot about 10 minutes after my oil change. Also, I was shown both the air and cabin filters. Yes, they both required changing but I said I would take care of that since Parts Source is just up the street on Weber. As the service technician handed over my vehicle, he pointed out the low, bass-like blower hum. That was certainly new and was not present before the service at Economy Lube. I managed to fix the hum myself after cleaning out the fan of the dead leaves dropped into the motor either while the technician was removing or replacing the dirty filter. It was really disappointing service this time around. I have been going to Economy Lube for over six years with two different vehicles. Apart from the usual upsale and additional service pressure sales tactics, I've had pretty good results from them. I know I won't be back and will be trying other places.

Brittany Plummer

These guys are fantastic! As a woman I think we're always a little leary because I know for myself I don't know much about my car. But these guys are HONEST, FRIENDLY & FAST! They topped up my fluids yesterday for free because I couldn't get the hood of my old Honda civic open, so I decided to come in for an oil change today and again awesome service! John is awesome!

Erika Siegner

I have been getting my oil changed here for years, always quick, good service and affordable. Recently my windshield wipers stopped working and partially broke off. In fear of costing a lot I held off on getting it looked at. Today I brought my vehicle in to finally tackle the issue, they saw me right away, fixed the problem, gave me new windshield wipers and then didn't even charge me. I honestly couldn't even believe it. Their kindness was so unexpected and so appreciated. If you need service, and oil change, go to these guys! THANK YOU

Colette DeSousa

Wasam and his team deliver outsanding customer service, timely service and competitive pricing.

S. Reza Haidari

Scam.... check YouTube for marketplace about this business to know how this business doing scam in oil change...

Caleb Smith

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!! UNLESS YOU LIKE DENTS IN YOUR CAR THEN BY ALL MEANS THEY EXCEL AT THAT!

Wessel van Loenen

The people here are thieves! They talked me into getting a transmission fluid change and they didn't actually do it. I was here 03/21/2014 Whoever ran this place at the time they're a bunch of crooks. This place was on …

Ahmed Badr

I've been there around 10 times, mainly for oil change. Never spent more than 25 mins.

Greg Gonzalez

Great services. They report any services to the car manufacturer.

Sathyah Surendran

Fast and reliable service. The guys who work there are great and provide exceptional service. I would recommend anyone who would need an oil change or any other services they provide.

Luis Gutierrez

Good customer service, good price. It doesn't need to book.

Justyna McCaig

Quick, friendly with great price for oil change service. Will come back for sure.

Sir Doge

Amazing service, let me take a look under the car, amazing mechanics. Highly recommend.

Chase Wood

Horrible rip off, charged me for services I did not need then didn't even do the work paid over $200 for nothing

Chris Fulton

Great service, quick easy and easy no issues, just like you expect!

Holly Deeks

Within 5 seconds of walking in to the building they came over and asked what I needed. I told them I needed an oil change. And in less than a minute and a half they had my car in the garage. Luckily there was only one other car in the garage so they could get to me right away. They let me know of another service and deal I could get with the oil change, but in a non-pushy way which I really appreciate. Really nice guys, clean, they offer free coffee and water. This is my first time getting an oil change and I'm extremely impressed! I'll definitely be coming back for future tuneups!

Jonathan Hayes

Took my car in immediately, and finished my oil change in 10 minutes as advertised!

arun

They close at 6.30pm. I called them at 5pm for tire change and they said it’s first come first serve. I reached there by 5.15pm and they said they have other tire changes to be done and asked to come the next day. They should’ve told me if they can’t do it today on call itself. I was planning to get my oil change done as well(despite the negative reviews) since they are near my location but this experience made me change my decision.

Tito Nicolas

Was pretty good. They were really fast and to the point. Yes the 5 dollar thing exist. But I actually am satisfied. Also they didn't try to sell me anything.

ashley jones

Quick service, great deal! Very much appreciated them taking the time to explain everything beforehand, and respecting my budget. Highly recommend - ask for Kyle!

Dani Aldwinckle

Cheapest and best oil changes in town!

G R

Always fast. They are busy but seem to be able to get your oil change done right away anyways. Cold water during the heat wave. I have never had any problems here. 08 civic automatic. Appreciate the inspection and top ups included.

Paul Lawson

Great service and as the name says "economical" dependability. They now do tires and best of all it doesn't void the manufacturers warranty.

Nicholas Roy

trustworthy shop with extremely fair prices. have been going here for years. Sam is the best!

Paul B (time's are a'changing)

They do a good job and the work is done quickly

Alexander A

Please search for the article "Oil-change shop caught scamming customers: Marketplace investigation" from CBC, Economy lube is a scam. Beware.

Calvin W. LeFresne

Just had oil and filter job done plus some other work. Excellent service well informed before starting any work would highly recommend this location for all your vehicle needs.

Jared Campbell

Overall, positive experience. Ordered tires, staff were friendly and helpful. Decided a few days before the install to cancel, and had a hard time getting a refund from the Waterloo store. Called the VP who posts his number to handle customer service concerns, and he handled things right away!

Julia Bursey

When we got to Economy Lube, we were told it would be a 20 minute wait. We were there for 36 minutes and the two cars in the shop had not even moved. Then someone who got there 20 minutes after us was taken in for an oil change before us, because they did not put the customers in any order at all. By the time over 45 minutes had passed, they had not even acknowledged us or the mistake. Super unprofessional, slow, and careless. We ended up leaving after about an hour without an oil change. Super frustrating.

Rai M

The manager is honest. Name starts with an R. Want to say his name is Rui. Everytime I've dealt with him hes told the truth. Economy Lube is a greasy corporation but I'll still support it if he is involved.

Bruce Crosby

I always find them to be friendly, curteous and ready to explain things. I trust them with handling all regular maintenance on my car.

Dreamers

Did my brakes from here. Perfectly done.

Struggle is real

Great staff great work and great price. i will definitely come back.

Tracey Buschlen

Best prices, and service was way more friendly than a large competitor. Not pushy.

Jeff Campsall

Buying good reviews with Tim cards

Amanda Dumas

The guys here have been really nice and where very informative on our new car! Definitely coming back!

Chris H.

Charged me for an oil change and never even changed my oil, SCAMMERS!

Dominique Spanovic

I usually end up coming here for an oil change and am always happy with the service.

Stacie Robinson

Friendly, fast service and way less pushy on the up-sell than most other lube shops I've been to in town. Couldn't beat the price, will likely be my new go-to for car maintenance.

Bojack Horseman

Lost my tires after I had them changed out

Graham Mackenzie

Fast, good service, and inexpensive!

DAWN MARKOVIC

I was there last week for an oil change. A guy came out with a cup showing me a dark transmission fluid with metal shavings in the bottom. He said that means that my gears are grinding and that is not good and it would be 150 for …

Raheel Mukarram

Friendly customer service with a warm welcome with Coffee and smile. Affordable price and nice service. For sure recommend the place and will come back

Got my etest done in no time!

John Ranchuk

Great service, was in and out within the 10 minutes they've promised! Highly recommended and would come back in the future.

Lakhwinder Singh Jakhu

Good work every time and service good, staff is very friendly and adorable nature.

Ken Beckett

Don't be fooled by their advertising of a $19.99 oil change. Went today and one of their staff insisted that any cars newer than 2011 must have a $59 synthetic oil change.

mustafa oren

Good service

Christine Gawron

Based on the service that I requested and just received today from Economy Lube and Tire, and on my experience in dealing with Louis, I would have to say I was surprising pleased. I have a very old Honda Civic with several issues, but Louis did exactly what I asked for without charge, and just identified the couple important things that would most need close attention. My Koodles to Louis!

Luke Mei

Went for snow tire changing, but then mechanic told me the break is almost gone, and if I don’t change it ASAP, the car wouldn’t stop. He tried to push me to book an appointment and get 325 bucks from me. …

Craig Ainsworth

Fantastic service at a reasonable price. Wide range of services definitely will be back

R C (DF Collectibles)

People!! Read the consumer reports on this place. It's a business run by a scam artist... Pay the extra $20 and go to a legitimate place. They will tell you that they are going to do certain work and they won't. I was ripped off by this place in the past and it took me having to go to the BBB to get my refund because the scumbag owner wouldn't call or reply. BEWARE!!!! BEWARE!!!

Brenda Flores

Excellent service, great prices and definitely a great and very helpful staff!

stephen stephen

Great place little hard to get into with traffic but these guys rock thanks for the service

Karissa Tyo

These guys were AMAZING!! They got me the help I needed, which included even driving me to my car to assess the damage. They were friendly and efficient and I have saved them to my phone. I will definitely come back here for my car needs in the future :)

Josephine R. Allen

The did a great job

Mo

Fake five star ratings are from the family members of the rip off artists.

Rachal Bolger

The employee was very knowledgable and showed me everything underneath the vehicle that needed to be fixed, and offered me a deal. He was also very friendly :-)

Charlie Bronson

Got tires changed to rims they did a very good job with a damn good price! Thanks

KADER MUSTAFA

Best staff,good services, and honest with their costumes 100% no cheating

Sabino Furlone

The oil change took less than 5 minutes!! The manager was disappointed to tell me that I was not eligible for the lowest package as my vehicle only takes synthetic oil as part of more expensive packages, to keep business he offered me premium synthetic for he discounted price of a lower package. Very friendly and accommodating - I highly recommend this place due to customer service and speedy performance alone.

MJ Davidson

It was great! Great job and super friendly.:)

kimmilil

I went in for an oil change on one of my cars while I was in the area . I asked direct and UPFRONT how much for an oil change? I was told $79 plus tax for a full synthetic on my car . I made sure that it was the right price for my car and was told yes. After 15 minutes of small talk and being shown " the other things" that need to be done , I was told that my bill is now gong to be double . $142 plus tax lmao. DONT THINK SO No work was actually done on the car yet so I advise they manager to halt work on my car and I would go elsewhere . He argued with me saying my car takes 8 litres of oil and the filter was a special order. I told him thats not my problem because you saw my car when you quoted me the price of $79. He was quite hostile. I will be checking the oil on my vehicle. I doubt they even did the change or changed the filter since it was supposedly special order . . NO fluids were topped up at all. BEWARE OF ECONOMY LUBE. I will never go there again and will et my friends and family know of my experience The engine oil lght came on 1 month agter saying low oil .. In all of thrr time I have had this ccafr I had never ever seen that . Do they riped me off the oil and could have ruined my engine. in the benz !!

William Schleich

Excellent service and very competitive pricing on Synthetic Oil Changes, and also deals on Tires as I've bought at least 5 sets over the last 3 years (my Mercedes, my daughters Prius, and 2 sets of winters and 1 set of summers for my company cars). I'll keep going back, no reason to change!

Gloria Baerg

Went in today for emissions test. Courteous efficient service. Good experience.

Horrible service from 2 individuals, one of whom is a manager! Decided to attempt to jack my car up and didnt use any jack points. Bent my rocker and panel cover. I would never recommend this shop!

Alicia Kuepfer

Fast and efficient with my e-test. I was impressed by their service!

Greg M

They were able to take me right away, offering quick and friendly service. I would definitely go back.

Mohammad Nazmus Sakib

Visited first time there. Swaped tires with $40. It's probably the lowest price nearby for this service. It was a walk-in visit and I had to wait half an hour. Staffs are friendly. Satisfied with their service.

Saeed Bonab

Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY from this auto repair shop and Economy Lube in general. It will save your car, your money, and your nerves. Went there to swap to winter tires. Got a call 4 hours later that they cannot get the tires off, accusing the repair shop who did the last tire change to ruin the key for locking bolts. Little they did know that it was also them. Upon visit at the dealership service department, it turned out not only they have ruined the key, they have totally stripped off the locking bolts. Cost me extra $200 to drill them out. Wasted a month with the customer service trying to settle the issue. The customer service didn't show the slightest care at all. Currently in the process of filing a complaint with the ministry of consumer services.

Hiren Khanna

I went in for a full complete oil service, Rust proofing (under panel), Brakes and tyre change. The staff at there are very welcoming and help you guide with the problems your car has and the solutions to it, They had no issues when i got …

Andy Shannon

We're a touring band from albert, this place was open with only a few other oil places in town. They got us in and out quick and helped up grease our trailer. Really good price too.

taylor steinhoff

Very nice people, fast service, over all great place to go.

Jason Ramon

Amazing service. I'm loyal to this place and these guys who go above and beyond for me and my vehicles.

Stan Stan

Not worth your time. Save your money. Go somewhere professional. They will lie to you and try to upsell things you don't need. If you're not a car guy and don't know about cars you will waste alot of money that could be saved by justs going to a professional place.

andrew van pelt

Con artists . Avoid at all costs

Chris Weber

Just left and Ben was really good guy free coffee free water the service was fast and good very friendly guy I recommend this place

Jessica Chalmers

I went in for an oil change was approached informing me I had 10% left on my back brakes and they needed to be replaced asap. The cost would be $350 and they could do it right away. I told them I was not interested. Got my dad to order new brakes and he went to change them and they were almost brand new! I will never go back here again as they saw im a young female and tried to take total advantage of me. I only went here as Jiffy lube on weber is temporary closed, they have never once taken advantage of me and have even told me my oil is fine and to come back.

Jack Jourdain

Good service

COR COR

Came in for an Etest, my car was taken in before I even had a chance to sit down in the lobby!!

Omar Shakir

I typically comes here for my oil changes. Extremely quick, painless, and there's coffee while you wait!

Joe

Plays the oldest trick in the book, the cup with oil full of metal shavings which "came from your vehicle". Also being the only garage with the audacity to try to buy 5 star reviews with $5 tims cards, that's just sad.

Tara McNicholl

We've used Economy Lube in the past when we couldn't get into our dealer, and had good experiences. It's always fast, relatively inexpensive. However, my husband brought our vehicle in for an oil change and the technician urged us to replace our brake pads and rotors due to wear immediately, and offered a free oil change if we have to work on our brakes done there. He quoted us $700.00. We were very surprised to hear that we needed new rotors because we hadn't noticed any brake symptoms, and had a previous brake inspection done a few months prior that indicated that our brake pads were still at 85%. We opted to get a second opinion and have a brake inspection done at another shop. We were told at the other shop that our brakes are in great shape.. over 80% front and rear, and don't need to replace the brake pads yet, let alone the rotors! Thankful that we spent the extra time and money to have a second opinion done, but VERY frustrated that we were almost conned into having unnecessary work done. They could definitely benefit from incorporating some honesty into their business model.

Joe MacIntyre

Happy with the service and prices

Patel Yash

⭕️SCAM❌SCAM????SCAM❌????????they act like changing your car oil but they don’t put the new oil in the car about 50% car.Very bad customer service and they take your vehicles ???? part out and never put it back as it is. Don’t go for oil change for 10 minutes they put more problems.

the barber

Walked in (no appt) in for etest and $19.99 oil change. Was in and out in 20min. We'll be back.

Jim Armstrong

They didn't put my oil drain plug back in properly and my engine seized from this. Now they are ignoring my communications and I have to take them to court for repair costs.

dannielle stroeder

Economy Lube is above expectation. I loved how fast the service was and how understanding and reliable the gentlemen are that work there. They're there when you need them and provide a warm, comforting atmospher in their business. I highly recommend.

Scott Shivdyal

Excellent service! Great and quick. Friendly service and these guys know there stuff. Would recommend

Kaila Sigston

Employees we respectful and generous and understanding. Made my day!

Mike Mazier

Just watched the CBC marketplace on this company. I will never take my car to any economy lube ever.

Fernando Rodrigues

Great service at Economy Lube in Waterloo. Quick and convenient. Thanks Economy Lube

Scott Carpenter

Was in there on Saturday. Great service got me in and out! 5 stars

Nayan M

Great service, friendly and got me in and out very quick

tracy

I took my car in yesterday for an oil change, and was quite pleased with the services. I needed a transmission flush as well. The bit of extra labor and piece I needed was given to me free of charge and in the end I only paid for the flush. I will go back again for sure.

Ian McNaught

This is actually for the university and weber st n location. Doing work without the a ok and charging me $500 for something they did in 20min that i could have easily done myself for. I just wanted a $20 oil change fml never been ripped off so bad by any auto service provider.

Vatsal Dasadia

Been at this place for oil change, tire repair and service. The guy returned the car in 15 mins saying everything is done including service and charged me 197$, I asked him twice you sure its done. I haven’t seen anyone working on tire. He said all done we checked your tire and it’s leaking air from many places needs replacement and he can get me a deal for $400. My tires are fine only driven 40000 kms. I called their president chris as I was not satisfied with service he said it doesn’t take so much time in servicing the car and our technicians are quick. Don’t worry everything is fine. I was still not convinced and took second opinion at near by canadian tire location and they found the nail in tire and fixed it. This place is a ripoff they will try to up-sale different services. Please do not opt for any other services then oil change which is quite reasonably priced.

Ashley Kilgour

The guys are always friendly and get oil changed within 10 minutes.

Amanda Mader

Helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable! They show they care and provide excellent customer service with a smile. Thanks EL for being quick and giving my Mazda love. Amanda

BOBBY ANTONY

Never go to them if you love your car. Last day I went in for a quick oil change. A few minutes later a guy came to me with transmission oil in a cup and told me I'm way past the time to change it. I was at 65K km and he told i should change it at 48K. (Its between 85K to 115K for most of the cars and i knew my owners manual say 96K and that the color change that happens to it is also normal). He also showed the color of the new fluid which is bright red in color to convince me. He also said I need an undercoat but I had one last season and it was pretty intact when I checked it last week. I usually do most of the simple maintenance myself. The reason I took it to them was i just needed a quick oil change and it was cold outside to do it myself. When i said no to those, he said if I get all that done he can give me a free oil change. Anyway I declined all that and requested for just the oil change. Also transmission fluids are vehicle specific and it very crucial to use the right one, also some cars need a flush and others need just a change. I am sure they would know what's for my car and wouldn't go through the hassle for flush if it was required, from how they were just trying to upsell stuffs and not care about the car. Anyway, I got the oil change done and reached home. After a while I saw an oil puddle near my car! It was red in color so I knew it was the transmission fluid. The car could barely move, luckily there was shop nearby and we pushed the car in. When they checked, the plug this guys opened to take out the fluid was not even placed back, it was sitting on the plastic cover and ALL MY TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED OUT!!! Such CARELESS GUYS!! This could have ruined my entire transmission and too early to say if any internal damages has taken place too.. Even if you have to take your car to them for some unavoidable reasons, tell them to do only the specific task and not even to check other stuffs. In the bill they have a list of stuffs they have pre-checked including tire pressure. I could see a part of my car from behind and nobody checked any tire pressures.. The oil they filled came from a black container with no labels which also concerns me if it was even new. The time before when i was at Canadian Tire for an oil change, they atleast filled from a new yellow container with proper labels. This was the First and the Last for sure I go to these guys!! Also know that they will try to tell you a whole bunch of issues with your car most of them would just be a lie trying to upsell. Read about it online before you agree for the repair or take a second opinion on it. You have to be careful about your car and money cos they don't care about any of that! There is a YouTube video by CBC news on "oil change scams" specifically about these guys.

Luke Hickson

Quick and easy service. Have come to econo lube for years has been great.

Insoo Choo

Excellent service. The workers are very friendly and willing to help :)

steve yes

Went in for an oil change today. Ended up doing a coolant and transmission flush, so the threw in a synthetic oil change for no extra cost. Car runs like new! Smooth, no slippage, no rough idle. Awesome work at a fair price guys. I'll be back! Thanks Sam and team. Cheers

Dr. Craig Write

Don't go here

moreno xo

I've had nothing but bad experiences with Economy Lube. I drive a lot, so I get oil changes often. Every single time, they would try to up sell me. According to them, I always had some car part or another that was about to fail, and they conveniently had a replacement one that they could use. I always said no, and those parts never failed. They would then pressure me to leave a good review. I now go to Oil Changers, on King St right by the 401. You stay in your car, it's done quick, and they're honest about what your car needs.

Zac Burns

Very quick and efficient! Will defintely come back for future service. The employees are very helpful and quick about getting your car in and out! Would recommend for everyone to use

Mohammed Nassar

Do not be cheated by good reviews they pay you 5$ if you show the manager a screenshot from your good review. This is the worest place ever. they will scam you. i went for oil change and then someone came to me and said the car needs coolant and gearbox oil as per maintenance record i said no and he insisted that it is dangerous and thus I agreed and he charged me 300$ then i contacted the dealer who provided me with the car records which show that the gearbox oil was good for another 50k and the coolant for more than 100 k. I filled a complaint against them but canada bearu of bussiness said the amount is below the minimum to take an action. please google economy lube scam to see a full tv investigation about them.

Christopher Zech

Horrible place. Even up-sell during an oil-change. Don't trust these reviews. Never go here! They didn't even fill up my oil completely so I was running low 2 litres!

Miranda Wettlaufer

We had a great experience! Oil change was fast an efficient, even got $20 of the fully synthetic oil!

S D

Good place for oil change.

anusheh fawad

Fast service, great staff, and fairly priced...this is the only place ill go to.

Amanda

Avoid this place! A friend of mine took her almost new car there for an oil change only have them place the oil plug back incorrectly causing her oil to drain and engine to seize up on the highway. She has been completely screwed over by this and left without a vehicle and they couldn’t care less. Any decent business would take accountability for their negligence and make things right but these people are instead ignoring her and refusing to help. I guess they didn’t get the memo that bad word of mouth is more costly than any repair. No wonder they have to buy their positive reviews by offering people 5 dollar Tim Horton’s gift cards in exchange for them. Shady.

Alex Woodall

0 STARS! BAD experience. Went in to get an oil change and while driving on the way home I noticed a large orange stain on the passenger seat. I went back and complained …

Stephanie Penta

This is the second time I’ve been to this location for an oil change. They were very fast both times and had very friendly service.

Akhil k s

Please avoid this place as I had really bad experience with them , I went there for oil change . At that time they asked me to change the filters also. As they said I changed it , but after that when ever I turn on my Ac fan a big roaring noise is coming. I went there next day and shared my concern . One guy came and checked it . They told me it may happen some times when we change the filter, seems like they couldn't figure it out the reason behind it.Really disappointed with their service.

Max Pfeifle

Quick and well-performed 10 minute oil change! They even offered me free coffee while I waited :)

Shawn Bechtloff

This is a very professional location and the staff are great.

Eb h

Joel Adams

Brought my car in for an oil change also had a coolant problem. These guys were able to diagnose my problem quickly and help me on my way! Awesome

Peter Haigh

Been coming here for a few years. Great customer service and competitive prices. Quick service as well. I recomend.

Richard T

This place just needs to go away already. Preys on the ignorance of people, upselling obnoxious services and then not working on your vehicle. It's ridiculous, this place is run by crooks. I see the Manitou location was shut down a few years ago. This one needs to bounce too.

Shaun Veitch

Great, fast and friendly service everytime!!

Osman Osman

We had horrible experience. I would not recommend for anyone to take their vehicle at this location.

Luis Gonzalez

Save your self the time, stress,and $$$. I’d give it No stars if possible. No accountability for there mistakes...can’t ever trust them with my vehicle again!!!

Bryan Smart

Fast with a great price. Staff was friendly and knowledgable. Definitely will return.

Gail Deres

I recently went in just for an oil change,while there I enquired about another issue I was having. The manager checked it out and it turns out it wasn't what I had previously told that the problem was.He quickly checked around and got the part. It turned out that the job needed more than thought. He spoke and showed me the problem quickly ordered another part and worked hard to get me back on the road safely and efficiently. The bottom line is everyone there works hard and will go out of their way to give you prompt friendly service at a great price. Thanks guys.

Megan Dow

Awesome service!!! Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Amanda Drummie

Called to get a quote, got excellent service right away. Came in and was met in the parking lot. Friendly staff and wasn't forceful about the options I was given after they completed my oil and transmission flush. Will come back :)

whats is this Yeah

They make you buy services like extra fluids and tires by scaring customers and getting 5 star reviews by a Tims card.

Zain Saqib

Great location, service was very fast!

Vanessa Keating

Efficient service and helpful employees. Clean waiting area and true to 10 minutes!

Eric Young

Quick service, great help will come again.

They are a fraud all across canada, they will all burn in hell for the sins they do, LIARS, read the bible, hell is very real after death for the wicked ..unforgiven

E hummz

Staff was very friendly ! Did a great job on my car, very pleased

David Marsh

Do not go there. They did not change the filter despite saying they would, they did not change the coolant despite my paying for it.

Anthony Korsman

Fast and inexpensive but they do try to upsale a lot

kenliew55

Dishonest sale tactic to up sale you other services. They claimed my transmission fluid is dirt and low which I just flushed and replaced few months ago. I told them I will go home to check my service record and didn't took up they offer. …

Scott Gleeson

Fast, polite, great price. What else do you want??!!

mike Hayes

I've been using these guys for oil change and maintenance for years and would not go anywhere else highly recommended

B Mod

Awesome service. Ask for Mike at 250 Weber St North. He is confident and skillful. He gets the job done right the first time on my Lexus RX.

Tanner Carrothers

Excellent customer service and the fasted I've ever experienced!

Tabitha Zimmer

Economy lube was great they advised us on the proper oil for our car. They where fast and efficient Thanks guys

Ty Wilson

They did a very good and quick oil change and e-test. Also very helpful and let me know about checking my transmission. Thanks.

abhayraj patel

They provide excellent service. I know them personally and location must be recommended. I have been visiting this place for while and have great experience.

Nick walsh

After every car I have brought in my "coolant desperately needs to be flushed" in every car...what a coincidence . Just undercoated my car 2 weeks before going but it will "absolutely need an undercoat because it doesnt have a drip of oil on it ." Be careful, lots of work trying to be made even if your car doesnt need it .

Daniel Weigert

Great place to get your oil change. Super quick and friendly service! They do a vehicle inspection while the oil change is taking place and make recommendations. There is no pressure on the up-sell but very helpful to keep in mind for one's regular car maintenance.

Graham 007

Great friedly service and an affordable price!!!

Jessica Earp

Great guys! Helped me with etest, filters and I have had oil.changed here before. Fast, reliable and I formative. Good prices and did not push for extras ???? best in town!

Ashkan Moubed

Came in for a quick emmisions test. Fast service, the test itself is free so win win :)

maddie a

Fast and efficient service, never fail to just stop by and get squeezed in!

Oh Canada

DO NOT go here! They are scammers. You'll go in for a simple oil change and they will push fake work they claim needs to be done just to extract as much money from you as possible. Very dishonest, I will never go back there.

Samuel Asokanthan

Fast friendly service. Value for money..Will recommend highly..

Wael Khawaja

Staff is amazing. They were very fast in and out.

Alex Dreisinger

They always service my car immediately! Fast and reliable. I will go no where else!

Bad experience and way to expensive 79+tax for my Honda Civic! Not recommended! And to anyone who's need a $5 Tims card, you can go there to get it! But you must proved your GOOD previews to the Manager!

Hannah Cressman

Love the guys! They are always so nice and I can get in right away! Only place I go for my oil changes

Brooklynn Pequegnat

Friendly and speedy service! They got me in for an emissions test immediately and I enjoyed some coffee while I waited ????. I recommend economy lube on Weber!

Ron Howard

Busy was charged the wrong price for oil change

Goody

I brought my 1995 mustang in today for etest. Amazing service. Fast, friendly, and great coffee. Office is clean neat and tidy. Recommend to everyone.

Kyle Wayan

This Economy Lube made me very un comfortable. I just need a e-test, but they had keep pushing me to do lots of other things, and after I say no, their guys just ignore me and stop doing anything even I told them I am in rush hour. After 5 mins, they turned back and keep pushing me.... ok, fine, I did oil change there, and they still asked me do lots more.....I refused, then they were angry with me:( That guy who looks like manager, he even don't talk to me after that. He is so cheap, and they are only show smile face if you do what ever they ask you.I hope they least did their work well , and don't messed up my car. I will never come back to this one. and I already send a letter to their head office, we will see what gonna happen.

Julie Freund

Great customer service fast aND friendly

Quick and Easy. Good customer service and was made aware of things that needed to be taken care of. RECOMMENDED

Amina

Good customer service they checked my tires for free.

Chris

SCAMMERS !!!!!! CBC report. They Charge but DONT do the work RUN AWAY !!!!!

Johnathan Meissner

Went in for oil change, got premium package which is SUPPOSED to top all everything and do 20 point check as well. Oil was changed, fluids were still low/empty from when i had brought it in. Tried upselling numerous times. They were quick because they dont do anything the package includes besides oil change. Had to fill my own fluids due to being on the road. Worst car shop of all time.

Michelle D

My experience at Economy Lube is great! They are knowledgeable and thorough and keep me organized and my car perfectly maintained. I appreciate the staff and their friendly service! THANK YOU!!

Dev Patel

They didn't even remove the old oil, just topped it off. The store has a promotion going on if you write a good review you get $5 gift card. Be aware most of the reviews are bought

SamJC17

The customer service was extremely helpful. The workers were kind and the workshop was kept clean and free of clutter.

Rob steffler

First time dealing with this company got a flat tire and tight on cash they promptly worked with me to get me back on the road quick and helped with financial concerns

Vijay Trambadia

It was really quick, I was out in less than 15 mins. I took basic pack, and they don't force me to buy anything else...

Ted Adu-Lartey

Provided quick and efficient service. You can feel that your customer service is a high priority. You can taste it too if you sample the variety from the coffee machine ;)

Adam Hesch

Oil was overfilled, and oil was sprayed on my windshield and all under the hood. Tried to phone to make them aware of the issue, but was unable to get through after several attempts.

Ward Yorke

Got the job done quickly. Fast and friendly service.

saad syed

Amazing experience, even asked me for my preference of oil change too. Good price and different ranges for me to choose from

joey villapiana

Absolutely covered my engine in coolant which made me sick before I could even get home, all after pushing fluid changes on me. Shouldn’t have listened to them, won’t come back. And shame on them for buying reviews.

Ian D. Ford

Service with a smile and excellent customer service. ...Wow!...I just keep going back, in and out...never fail.

christian schultz

Affordable oil change and quick

Jenn

Does your car need a new engine? Just go here for your regular oil changes. Eventually they will forget to put oil back in it and then they'll replace it!

Jesse Sharpe

Fast, friendly service for a great price. Even comes with a free movie pass.

TheWisdom OfBeard

Sam and the boys are the best, they will take good care of you

Zhong Jia Xia

Had a punctured tire. Called in and they got me immediately, took 10min to fix the tire and all good to go. Quick and easy.

dean M

Been going here for over 2 years because they are inexpensive. I had my brakes done in the spring again because they were the lowest price. So now because of cutting costs I just had a $1400 bill because of engine issues due to poor quality work. Oil filter was most likely never change because it was so rusty. Rear brakes are already done but now I will have to not only replace pads and rotor but now the caliper as well. I also had the transmission oil change in the spring and shifting was never the same. AVOID AT ALL COST. PAY THE EXTRA LITTLE BIT AND TAKE YOUR CAR TO A GOOD MECHANIC.

Paul Martin

Terrible! Did not change the oil but said they did. Absolutely unacceptable.

Jorge Ulfsson

STAY AWAY !!! Horrible rip off, charged me for services I did not need, damaged my oil pan, ended up paying $600 for $20 oil change. STAY AWAY !!!

Jenn Genereux

Great customer service! Friendly staff, Oil change in under 10 minutes, low prices, and always happy with the results! I would highly recommend economy lube .

Mohamed Mohamedtaki

This has been my second visit to economy lube. The staff is always friendly, and willing to go that extra step to help you.

Jatin Sharma

Went to Economy lube to get my tires changed to winter tires. The car came back with completely scratched and scraped tire rims. It’s a brand new car and has had no scratches. The employee there would not even hear me out. He refused to listen to me and instead blamed me for those problems. Getting a simple tire change has not only damaged my car, I have also seen how business is apparently done at Economy Lube. They have definitely lost my business and I will ensure my friends also are aware of the way this company deals with its customers.

talal javed

Excellent experience - it's really for those who are looking for a quick job. They let my car in within 2 minutes with a smile .. very happy and I will be coming here again

Francisco Cervantes

Do not come to these guys they have already been exposed with undercover cameras that they were upselling customers with services they didn't need.

Visker Dove

They are here to rob u. I went there for oil change and they sabotage my vehicle to make me feel like there is some problem. Then they charge me enormously. They replaced the part by sourcing from NAPA and charged me 300 bucks for that part. When I checked at NAPA website by using part number, the price was around 65 to 70 bucks including tax. Worst experience. Please don’t go there. Go to experienced mechanic instead. I had to pay 1000 bucks and still, they didn’t fix it. If you have enough money and don’t want to fix your car then you can go there. I wanted to give them a zero star.

Siamak Aliyar

The worst service possible, did not do even ONE point inspection, let alone 20. Used regular oil instead of Semi-Synthetics. Failed to top up the Windshield washer fluid. I will never return there. I wouldn't suggest it even to my enemies to get a service there. Rate -10 instead of 5.

Devon Pearce

Fast and quick got coffee well I waited

Lindsey L

Came in for an oil change today, within minutes of leaving there was a loud booming noise during acceleration from the engine. I immediately came back and was told that everything was fine, they showed me the dipstick, checked the shield and said they couldn't do anything else. Okay, noise was still there but they weren't going to do anything further so I did some investigating and, low and behold, they forgot to reseal the air filter. Of the three things that you did in my car, you didn't even bother to check if the air filter was back on and you brushed me off? Stupid mistake, fine, but don't expect a customer (who by the way has spent considerable money at this franchise on tires and general services) to be okay with being brushed off by a valid concern. I was going to call in and complain but I won't be coming back so what do I care about them making it right. Learn to check your work, and for customers don't trust all these five star reviews, they offer tim hortons cards for them. Go get one if you feel like a shoddy oil change is worth it.

Ricardo larromana

Great people, fast service

Andrew Athanassiades

I have been going to this Waterloo location for the past two years and have found their service to be the best and most honest. I would usually get my car assessments done at the Speedy and Jiffy Lube first, and find Economy Lube's assessments to be consistent with them, but Economy Lube would always get it done for much less. I have also noticed many more people going to this location over the location s of their neighbour competitors. I am glad they came into this neighbourhood.

John Wilson

Excellent service here I would definetly come back great prices and great staff

J C

Great service, staff knows their stuff, in and out on schedule.

Karmen Whitbread

Quick and efficient for an economy lube place.

Vladik

The worst place to change the oil. Every time they will tell you have to change something and the parts will be twice over the real price. And I’m not sure about the quality of the oil, I would like to give them zero stars but I can’t.

Shelana Barclay

Honest customer service and very helpful staff. Thank you for your time!

Irene Ekweozoh

Quick and great service...couldn't be happier, thanks Sam!

Jamal Warner

DON'T GO !!!! Don't understand how this people still in business..

Very friendly from the moment I pulled in! Gave me an awesome deal, no hassles, very informative!! Thank you!!

aaron rabe

Had the best experience at this shop I've ever had everyone was very helpful and educated I would highly recommend it

Connie Shandler

They always treat me well in diagnosing before it becomes an issue

Carolina Siudylo

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! Took car in for oil change and employee broke hoodlatch. Tried saying it was like that then admitted to breaking it. I was then told to leave and go to a mechanic. Rude, poorly trained incompetent employees. Will never go back.

Zack Blue

Econemy lubes service is very good it's a fast oil change and a the employes are very nice. Economy lube is by far one of the best.

5 stars!! Very friendly, very fast and efficient. Great price and the best part...no upselling! I asked for a premium oil change and that's what I got. I will certainly be coming back.

DO NOT USE!!!!!! AVOID!!! UPDATE—— He is now refusing to show me the footage from the facility saying that if I want to see it I need to pursue the matter with lawyers! Over $200-300 in damage?? Avoid at all costs!!! WONT ANSWER MY CALLS!! AVOID ECONOMY LUBE!! WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! DO NOT USE! DENTED MY CAR AND BLAMED ME! After getting straight home from EconomY Lube (no stops, etc.) I went back out to my car to head out again when I instantly noticed a sizeable dent in the back end of my car. I called economy lube to try and figure out what happened (because this WAS NOT there this morning before heading straight to economy lube) and within 20 minutes of calling head office, they had reviewed the footage and deemed that it was on me and they were not liable. They stated that there was no clear damage done on their footage thus they weren't liable for it. They have offered for me to come see the footage which I am going to do, (But for some reason I have to meet up privately with the guy and watch the footage off his phone?) but the end result is still the same- somehow my car was dented while at economy lube. They stated I should of heard something while I was waiting or I could of noticed it when they brought it back out (essentially blaming me) when it was not there upon arriving at economy lube and it WAS there after leaving economy lube. Economy lube insisted that the dent had been there for "a couple days" (not sure how they're able to tell this?) and that it was 100% not them but the facts just don't align - WHEN I LEFT THIS AM AND WENT STRAIGHT TO ECONOMY - NO DENT. UPON LEAVING ECONOMY- HUGE NOTICEABLE DENT . The manager was extremely rude, kept cutting me off, wouldn’t listen & refused to accept any sort of responsibility!! DO NOT USE!!! (unless you like dents in your car then by all means they’re great at that!)

I have been to Economy Lube on Weber street in Waterloo twice now, and I will say that I am very impressed at their professionalism, ability to answer my questions (answers that I already knew) and how helpful and polite they all were. They are now my go to when I need something done, as I trust them.

Came in for an oil change, was quick and done right. T was very professional, found a couple issues and showed me what was going on with the car. Offered some good discounts. Was very happy with everything.

David Hildebrant

HORRIBLE, went in for an oil change and ended up paying $330 for work I didn't want done. When I asked them to stop they continued work anyway, then left my truck sitting outside idling. Have left numerous complaints with the manager and head office. No one seems to care, WONT GO BACK.

I usually change my own oil, but I just went in for an oil change and coolant top up. I was REALLY worried about a leak, but the man whose name I wish I got was AWESOME, and saved me some cash instead of trying to oversell me. This will be my place now, THANK YOU!

Melvin Ng

It would be a good deal if they stuck to their prices of $19.99 per economy oil change. Poor service all together, borderline con artist. They will also give you $5 in gift cards if you leave a positive review on Google. 1. First they empty the oil but not fully, so it's still flowing when they cap it back. So all the dirt from the bottom of oil tank is still kept in the car because it didn't fully drained. 2. Then they try to up-sell you premium oil, and claim that they don't have any more economy oil left .."fill in reason here".. 3. Then they try to up-sell you more stuff. Under carriage oil spray ($69.99, $79.99 or $129.99) depending on how gullible. 4. Next time they will try to up-sell you engine fluid change.. or coolant change.. for ($69.99, $79.99 or $129.99)

I was greeted by Sam, with the intention of just getting an oil change. His crew member diligently explained and showed me other problems I was not aware of..Customer service and professionalism was extrodinary. Will definitely be back.

Michael Manning

HANDS DOWN THE WORST OIL-CHANGE SHOP IN CANADA. They will up-sell you for work you don't need, and then they won't do it. The owner of this shop is a fraud and should be put behind bars. Fraud is theft with a smile.

Ann Burns

Got an oil change and undercoating done here today and experienced great times with all the friendly and positive staff here great services and prices I would highly recommend coming here.

Paul Richards

I went for an oil change they didn't change the oil filter they told me they did and charge me for it not sure why you change the oil and not change the filter .. I asked to see the old one they could not show me they pulled my SUV back in and put a new filter in it they are not to be trusted .. if they were my employees I would fire them all ..

Brendan Keogh

I had a tire that was very low in air. I called them and was able to get in right away to get the air filled up. I came back later in the day and they pulled the nail out and fixed it for me! They were very busy and took the time to help me. They were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend them!
