Uncle Ed’s Oil Shoppe

This place was incrediblly fast and friendly, I loved the way they explained and then crosschecked all their work. They also gave us $ 10 off for being first time customers. I highly recommend them and can’t wait to go back!

This is the worst possible place to take your vehicle for service of any kind! I used to take my car here to get an oil change. They would ALWAYS push their products on me. Finally, one day I succumbed to the torrent of request and got wiper blades. Before the blades were replaced by Uncle eds they worked fine, afterwards they were completely broken. I should have known something was awry because it took three to four men to replace wiper blades. I called them back, later in the day, to tell them that my blades were broken to which they replied, go to Midas and have them look at the motor on the wiper blades. They said if Midas, who is affiliated with Uncle Ed’s, finds them at fault then they will cover the cost of repair. We all know what happened and $ 200 later, at a different shop, I finally got my blades working again. Uncle Ed’s is a horrible place to get any work done! Stay away if you value trustworthiness in a company!!!

This is the second time I have gone to Uncle Ed’s, initially I came in because it was conveniently located. The oil change was quick & to the point. Plus, they will top off all your fluids as part of the change. All the staff there have been very professional and courteous.
Sometimes when you get an oil change they will try to up sell you or bully you into thinking your car needs something extra. While those «extra» options are available, there is never any pressure or selling.
The only reason I won’t give 5 stars is the price is a little high, about $ 45. But there are usually deals or coupons. I will gladly pay the extra bit of money in exchange for not being hassled or ‘sold’!

I generally only leave reviews for businesses that make my experience amazing or terrible and Uncle Ed’s Oil Shoppe falls into the amazing category.
First off, the entire staff was extremely welcoming, friendly, and respectful (something I’ve never experienced at an auto shop). They noticed I had a missing tire stem cap and replaced it gratis and nonchalantly mentioned they had done this for me, even though this had been bothering me for a few months.
They topped off my fluids for free and didn’t push any products on me. I got a transmission flush, and it was much less than other places I’ve been quoted and they explained in layman’s terms how the newer cars, such as mine, require synthetic and that is why it cost more than older vehicles. I get the impression they are not upcharging their products to absurd amounts like other places, and that is why they will now have my business.
This is a very convenient place to drive in and get all your car maintenance finished on the way home from work, because of its great location just off Ellsworth and Carpenter. I’ve driven by dozens of times, but always just told myself an oil change can wait another week because I didn’t want to spend the time sitting and waiting. These guys are quick and efficient, though and I regret not stopping in sooner.

Can I just say once again how AWESOME Uncle Ed’s is? The staff here is the BEST. They are so friendly and polite and they go above and beyond to help in any way that they can. What’s even better is that they seem like they enjoy the work they do and helping their customers. And what’s better than supporting a company that has AWESOME employees that it obviously treats well? Pretty much nothing.
Hands down Uncle Ed’s is the best. No questions asked. As long as they keep up the wonderful work and keep an amazing staff like they have I will be a lifelong customer.

They try and up-​sell you everything. Scare tactics, taking out your dirty filter, the usual stuff. Seems impossible to get out of there with ONLY an oil change. I don’t know, maybe it’s worth it to go there once to get established and get your fluids topped off, but after that seems like a rip-​off.

I’ve been extremely pleased with the services I’ve received at this location. The staff is friendly, professional, and care about customer service. They are happy to perform free services between oil changes and provide sound auto maintnenance advice. I would recommend them highly to anyone.

I don’t know or pretend to know anything about cars. I hate going to get my oil changed because I’m scared of getting taken advantage of for being a clueless female at an oil change place, but Uncle Ed’s makes it easy to get your oil changed and your fluids topped off without getting preyed on because you’re a girl. Woo!
P. S. you can print out coupons online.

I was not comfortable with them constantly trying to sell my other services like engine flush and new filter or new wiper blades. I just wanted an oil change and be on my way. I have not returned since.

I took my boyfriend’s car there recently (I had taken my car there previously a few times) and they went through the normal song and dance of everything that should be done on the car. Since it wasn’t my car, I declined all of them. I come home to find out my boyfriend had just had all these things done a month before. They were trying to sell me $ 100 worth of stuff that was already done. Will not be going back there!
