Lodi Hand Wash And Oil Change

Guys, never get your car serviced or oil changed here. I did it on December 31, 2015 and I thought they did a good job. Later after a week, my car started giving serious trouble. The engine stalled while driving. This happened few times and then I took it to Toyota Service Center. On my way to service center itself car stalled multiple times. I had no doubts on ‘Lodi Hand Wash And Oil Change’ guys until it was found out by Toyota Service Center that those guys did not close the Engine Valve after Oil Change. What a serious mishandling. Very wrong.
Never get your oil changes here, they don’t care.
Car wash is also not that perfect. They did not do a good job.

I dont use a Groupon and i usually pay less than $ 28 for an aoil change and gold car wash. I think its a great deal and have nothing bad to say about this place where i have been going for years. The reason Im also writing a review is because while i was waiting in the office one of the guys offered to drive my car thru the car wash! Wow that made me give them 5 stars…

I’ve come here twice & used a Groupon I bought. I definitely got my money’s worth. All the guys working on the car did a great and thorough job. I’ve never gotten my oil change here so I can’t comment about that, but they do good work!

I bought a Groupon for the oil change and car wash combo stating a $ 75 value, but when I looked on their price board it really only added up to about $ 40. The guys were nice, and the car wash came out okay (but not great for the $ 40 value). The oil change took longer than expected, mostly because the service guy was playing on his cell phone a lot (almost hitting someone with a car as he was backing out of the bay because he was playing with his phone). Overall, not impress and probably won’t be back unless I grab a better Groupon deal.

Never again.
I came in for a car wash and an oil change. The car wash was fine; a typical ride through the swirl-​inducing washing machine. That’s expected. But the oil change was terrible. They did not honor the groupon, charging me full price (no proration) for shoddy synthetic service. Oil was over-​filled, inferior components were used, and the drain bolt was tightened beyond spec. I regret feeling too lazy to change my own oil. Never again.

I wish I can give No stars for this car wash but it wouldn’t let me write a review without rating. I was just there and they did a horrible job!!! vaccum wasn’t working and the exterior looked horrible they left dirty spots all over the car! This is beyond ridiculous!! Don’t go there!!! REAL WASTE OF YOUR MONEY YOU BETTER OFF WASHING YOUR OWN CAR! 27 BUCKS FOR A WACKY JOB??? U SERIOUS? I won’t be coming back for sure!

Nicole is right. Great car wash but horrible oil change service. I waited sooooo long for my oil change

DO NOT BRING UR CAR HERE!
Brought my car here to get a oil change. The tech has no clue what he is doing. messed up on the oil change locked up my motor. The tech is a idiot and has no clue how to change oil. After the fact the owner was. Not helpful at all to get my car fixed. Please do not bring ur car here. Unless u wanna leave with a locked up engine.

Sigh… took my car here today for the oil change, tire rotation and car wash. Of course they tried to up sell me with the oil change. They couldn’t do the tire rotation because the machine didn’t work. The car wash sucked my car is still dirty looking and this is no 100% hand wash by no means!

Not happy with this place AT ALL. The first time I went, I had no problems. The second time the guy told me I had %20 left on my brake pads, my rotors were badly rusted, and that I had to get them fixed ASAP. He told me it’d be about $ 325. I wasn’t going to pay that price and I had a friend that is a mechanic only charge me parts. I only paid $ 110 for the parts, and when he went to fix them he laughed and said «you have way more than %20 left, you have a good %50 left of brake pads and your rotors are barely rusted». I was pretty pissed and soon realized that even though I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt, he really was trying to rip me off. On top of that, when we were taking off the second tire, the asshole who did my tire rotation stripped one of my studs. So now I have to replace my stud and lugnut (which cost me $ 10) and unfortunately because I’m no longer talking to my mechanic friend, Pepboys wants to charge me $ 55 to fix it. Absolutely ridiculous. I called up Lodi Hand Wash & Oil Change and they told me to come in tomorrow so they can have a look at it. I swear, if they charge me ANYTHING, I’m going to file a huge complaint. For future references, and to save you a major headache and loss of money, F the Groupon deal and DON’T bother going here.

Should have read the reviews before purchasing my groupon for this place. I went in with a deal good for a car wash, tire rotation and oil change. When I arrived I got right in, but the man who greeted me told me I didn’t need a tire rotation?! I knew I needed one but just let it go when he said I could come back and get it done at a later time.
When I walked into the office area to pay and sit down, the man who rang me out told me he was sorry I couldn’t get my tires rotated because the machine was broke. Last time I checked all they needed was a wrench but regardless I was clearly lied to by the first person I talked to.
It got worse when the man changing my oil change tried to up charge me for an oil filter for my ford fusion because he said it takes a special filter. It was at that point that I just said take my car down and forget it. Only then did he give me a «free» filter.
This places only saving grace is their car wash. I got excellent service. My car was in need of a vacuuming and interior cleaning and I think they went above and beyond.
Overall, I will only be returning to get my car washed if I’m in the area. Total waste of money deal or not.

WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND A WASH AND CAME OUT GETTING HOSED!
The Setup.
The system maintenance light flashed on for my 2013 CR-​V letting me know that it was time for me to schedule an oil change as its useful life was now below 15% and falling fast. Never wanting to throw good money away I thought that this was a good time to check Groupon for any deals in my neck of the woods in Bergen County. Within minutes I found a sweet deal that was a no brainer because it solved 3 problems for only slightly more than solving my main problem. The only problem was that they decided to make their problems my problem!
The Deal.
$ 29 for an oil change, #3 car wash, and tire rotation (a $ 69.97 value)
The 15-​minute #3 car wash includes a hand wash with 100% microfiber mitts followed by an automatic wash using Simoniz car-​care products. At that time, undercarriages are cleaned while a triple-​polish wax is applied. Before a thorough drying, Rain-​X is applied. Once dry, the front two carpet mats get shampooed and tires are dressed.
The Fine Print.
Expires 90 days after purchase. Limit 5 per person, may buy 5 additional as gifts. Limit 1 per visit. Valid only for option purchased. Appointment required. Additional charge for oversized vehicles. Valid for up to 5 quarts of oil, additional fee is more oil is required. Additional fee for synthetic oil. Additional charge for canister or special filters ($ 9.99-$ 12.99).
The Problem.
Always one to play by the rules, I called up to make an appointment the day after receiving confirmation of the Groupon. When making my appointment, I was clear about a couple of things:
1) That I had purchased the deal on Groupon
2) The deal entitled me to a) an oil change, b) a car wash, and c) a tire rotation
If they had any problem fulfilling any the terms of the deal, this would have been the proper time to tell me. I arrive for my appointment and the first thing that they ask me is if I have an appointment. So just to be clear, these guys are sticklers for enforcing their own rules. How well they reciprocate with customer service is yet to be seen.
After confirming that I had a reservation, they took my car in for the oil change while I’m hanging out in the waiting area. I’m there for about 15 minutes when the same kid that took me in tells me that the Service Technician needs to speak to me about my car. The tech is giving me this song and dance about my car requiring synthetic oil and how it is so much better for the car if I get it. Here’s the rub. To upgrade to synthetic will be set back an additional $ 30, but the only reason that I go for it is because he says that it should double the time for me to get another oil change which gives me several more months to find another deal without killing time waiting for another change. Because let’s face it, we’ve all got better things to do than hanging out in their waiting room. Not long after I give him the green light to upgrade to synthetic and doubling the cost of my oil change, I see him going through this same routine with 2 or 3 other owners. Well, I suppose this is how they make money off their ridiculously cheap Groupon.
Only after my oil change is complete do they tell me the bad news that they cannot perform the tire rotation because the lift is broken and will be serviced later that week. I ask them why they didn’t tell me this when I made my appointment or even when I arrived and confirmed my appointment and what would be serviced that day. The kid had nothing for me but dumb looks and even dumber answers. After getting my car wash, I reluctantly made yet another appointment for 2 Sundays at 8:00 AM. I also left specific instructions that if for whatever reason that the lift was still broken that they should call me so we can reschedule for a later date and not waste any more of my time.
Fast forward two weeks later. I show up at 8:00 AM and see the same kid there from the last time. I tell him that I’m here for my tire rotation and he tells me that the lift is still broken. I ask him why wasn’t I called. He said that I should have made an appointment. I’m doing everything I can not to lose my cool and knock the last 2 brain cells out of that kid’s head. I remind him that I made an appointment with HIM and specifically requested that he should call me if the lift was still broken. At this point I have no idea what is the point of making an appointment when all they do is «take the appointment» and have no plan on how to actually «keep the appointment.»
The Present.
Calls asking to speak with the Management have been inconclusive at this time. I recently spoke with the Asst. Manager which is a step up from the kid that has been wasting my time. Yet again my number was taken, but at this point I have serious doubts as to whether I will ever receive a call to reschedule my tire rotation. Chalk up another business to the Groupon curse.
I’ve met my share of Slick Snake Oil salesmen, but these Grease Monkeys really took the cake!

I’ve been coming here for years. They do a great job here. They also have been offering groupon deals for 3 car washes for $ 25. I bought that twice already. The lines are never too long if you hit this place up at the right time. The tire shine is always a nice touch to add.
Dont forget to tip them. They work hard all day, and do a good job…
Sometimes when you go if its busy, they dont clean the inside as well.

This review is for the car wash, I haven’t had an oil change there.
Went there the first time after buying a groupon for three car washes. I don’t think I’ll ever go to another car wash again. They did a wonderful job on the outside and inside of my car.
They also have an early bird special, Monday-​Friday, 8am to 10am, all carwashes are 50% off!
Although I love all their special discounts, I will continue to go there even when the carwash is full price.

I’m the type of person to go to the same place for my car.
I bought a Groupon deal to get an oil change, tire rotaion and a car wash at this place.
Once I was able to find the place (drive slowly orelse you’ll miss it), they took my car right away. The people there are super nice and informative. Car wash was great!
So now the bad part…
When I went to pay, they charged me additional $ 19.99 with some lame excuse.
I didn’t say anything, I just paid knowing I will not go back. Scammed me!
The whole point of Groupn is to get a great deal and try somewhere new at the price you already paid for! Absolutly not additional $ 19.99 for a sevice they didn’t do additional!
I took my car to a mechanic for 2^nd opinion right away because I didn’t feel right about their service. I was told they did not put enough oil.
Sadly, I am still a 1,500 mles away and ran out of oil.
I have a bad taste in my mouth about this place. Maybe I was unlucky.

I bought a Groupon for three washes here… I found the place easily and was surprised to get a very good car wash…
The building is right on the highway, so it doesn’t have a waiting lane for cars to cue up in, but that didn’t really matter… The guys hand wash your car with large hand mitts before you go through the tunnel… This is all the difference — no machine can do what humans can do — people are better… It’s these little places that are a gem to find…
It’s a little out of the way for me, but if I lived nearby, this would definitely be my main car wash!..
