Econo Lube N’tune

I’ve gone here the past two times for my oil changes because I always see their coupons in the Orlando BOGO coupon book. An oil change for $ 14.98? Can’t beat that! They do charge a shop fee which is $ 2 but that’s still cheap as heck.
I wait for about 10 minutes in the tiny (TIIIINY!) waiting area and the job’s all done. The waiting room is small with a few chairs, and a massage chair that you have to pay. There’s a water fountain, coffee table with magazines, and a flat panel TV on the wall showing car stuff.
The customer service they provide was all right. Nothing too spectacular.
I’ll go here again for quick oil changes but that’s pretty much it.

I recently went here because I found a coupon giving me a $ 16 dollar oil change so I wanted to give it a try because its right by my house. Now things may be deceiving, first off it looks as if this business could be one of two things, they are not real busy nor is the atmosphere very professional, seems more like a hangout for some motorcycle buddys, but not Samcro type of garage, its more like a rice burner club. Anyhow enough stereo typing, I knew by just this though that these guys were going to be really good or just bad, and when I went here It was just before a long trip so I wanted to get some of my stuff checked out and I wanted to get a full service done. They were fairly quick, however it seemed like they were pushing really hard beyong the normal random upsell stuff. They pulled me over to my vehicle and mentioned that I needed air filters (which I had just recently done on my own) and they said I needed just about every service under the sun, the trans, coolant, fuel injection, and oil cleaner as well as some other items which hadn’t caught my attention like belts. They showed me my belt which looks ok to me but it did have a thread or two hanging off the sides. Anyhow I decided to skip on the add-​ons because i have learned that it usually is how these types of places make big money off people who don’t really need the services. And all turned out to be good and my belt was fine and still is.
The reason I gave them a 2 is because I did like the price, but as it turns out when I returned from my trip only 2 months later I had already racked up another 4k miles on my car so I went to my normal place which happens to be mobile1 on 50 and dean, I was informed that my trans service had already recently been done, and I can accept that as an oversite or maybe just because my mobile1 has it in their records that ive had it done and the econo didn’t. But worst than that the guys at the mobile had checked my air filters, noticed they were still fine after my 4k mile trip, and said the same for my belts which leads me to believe more that these guys were just upselling because they felt they needed to and not because my car actually needed those things. And finally the straw that broke the scarecrows back was that when they went to do the oil change and show me the oil checker rod, turns out that the guys at the econo had put almost a quart and a half over the recommended amount into my oil tank. Im not sure if thats a major problem off the bat but Ive read that if it was left that way or done consistently that it will wear out your engine. Im not positive but it didn’t look or sound good and it was waaaay over the top max fill line on the dip stick.
Needless to say I don’t think I will take any more risks with the low ball oil changes and just spring for premium service with guys that know what they are doing down the road from now on. You really do get what you pay for when you try these odd ball lube places so just always keep that in mind.
Ive never had any other services here so maybe they are awesome at other mechanical work, because they did have a big garage in the rear, but it didn’t seem too busy for all the people hanging out/​working there.
