So just did my oil change to go out of town tomorrow was told all went well as soon as I pull out white smoke was bellowing out of the exhaust that’s never happened Lead tech said he saw me leave and knew I was coming back he was waiting for me and waved me into first open spot I’m waiting here now waiting on word from manager. I’m supposed to be taking a family vacation tomorrow and don’t know what to do or what I can do this was just maintenance before our trip and now this. If this is rectified I will certainly update my review. I just hope they don’t try and screw me (they didn’t) I use this place for all three of my cars. I’ll update as things progress. Spoke to manager they cleaned out oil and told me they would cover any damages if they were caused by them. They also refunded me my charge so I could pay a mechanic to look at it I was super frustrated but Thank you Justin and Austin. The problem is being addressed I will be back to this location just because of them. I will be getting it checked out but I have full confidence they will take care of it if it was something they did. Thanks again guys
Great job great service everyone had an awesome attitude. And was quick. Thank you
My boyfriend and I were driving through Caldwell and stumbled upon this gem of an oil change shop: Einsteins Oilery! Weve been on the road for awhile during our road trip so we always make sure to take care of my car. We stopped here and the staff was so kind. Its cool that they let you stay in the car during the oil change, they topped off my fluids, checked my tire pressure, filled my tires up, even cleaned my windshield! I never felt pressured but they simply shared recommendations based on my vehicle, year, and mileage which I appreciated. Super cool place. I wish they were in more places than just Idaho!
They changed the oil and transmission fluid. They did everything within a hour. Were very helpful.
It sucked! They tried to sell me a $75 oil change on a newer Toyota Camry that’s driven less than 3000 miles per year. It only had 2515 miles on it since the last service. But it wasn’t all bad I got a $15 off coupon so it only cost $29.00. It’s no longer Einstein it’s Valvoline.
We took our class C motorhome in...111...the guys directed us in smoothly and did a fantastic job changing oil, air filter, fluids. They were so nice, efficient...and their Manager did all he could to help us. We will definitely go back!
They gat it done in a timely manor and I did not leave the car.
I know that Einstein is no longer but I really miss the more interaction with customer all that Valvoline is nice but it just doesnt feel as friendly
Staff is very friendly and helpful. They dont try to oversell you like a lot of places do. Very happy with their service.
First time going to Einsteins oilery and more than likely my last.While waiting in my car as my oil was being changed, a young man was under my hood conducting their standard checks.He finished checking my air filter and was having trouble getting the top housing seated and secured. In disbelief the young man started punching the housing trying to get it to go in place before a more experienced man came over and provided instructions.I checked my vehicles air filter housing when I got home to find the orange rubber seal of the air filter sticking out and pinched by the top portion of the housing.Further checking, I noticed the young man had broken a piece of the housing off that secures the top portion of the housing.Im still waiting to hear back from the local site manager reference a complaint I made.
The whole staff rocked. Only place I ever take my vehicles. I feel they go above and beyond what customer service used to be like. Highly recommend to anyone.
They no longer offer drinks, newspapers, and ipads now that they are owned by Valvoline which takes the fun out of it. They checked my tire pressure and the inside of the door and let pressure out of my tires until they were 10 below the recommended level listed inside my door, so my car started alarming and I needed to stop on the way home to have them pumped up. Other than that service was fine, but will go somewhere else from now on since they are no longer something special and have tire inflation issues.
Treated me with respect, didnt try to oversell and quick service
The guys were very friendly and helpful. I appreciated getting in so fast .
They were really cool it is a little pricey but use the coupon an its cheaper than jiffy lube
Friendly fast service. My oil change took maybe 20 mins and I did not have to wait long will definitely use again
Did you know that if you dont screw the air intake cover back in fully, all sorts of debris can get in and cause damage? Apparently they didnt.
Positive team here, who get the job done right and Guarantee there work! Fast service, with pride and quality work. Can get a cup of coffee and news paper while there and don’t have to leave the. Comfort of your own car. Great when it comes to busy body kids ! 5 star service for sure !
I waited in my car to have my oil changed for nearly an hour. In the meantime, an employee of Einstein’s oil took my vehicle information. When I parked in the garage for another 10 minutes, I was finally approached by another employee who informed me that they do not have any synthetic 5w 30 available. He went on to explain that they have been out of that oil for a couple weeks. Why did someone wait for over an hour to verify whether or not they had my oil type? This type of poor customer service should not happen to anyone. I would avoid this establishment and visit a more organized company like Jiffy Lube instead.
On 4/16 we attempted to have the oil changed in my car but were told rhst they don’t have the parts necessary to complete the oil change on an European vehicles (I have an Audi I mean an Audi is a major car brand so why doesn’t the companyv require stores to stock parts for ever car brand!! I recognize thst it’s Idaho and there aren’t a ton of Audis here...but there are enough here to justify stock. And what happens when a BMW or mercedes orvilkswafen, Mercedes come inThose cars ARE prevalent in Idaho!! So why exclude Audi?We own 2 other American made trucks...Chevy & Didge...guess who’s not getting my business even for the trucks ever again??? I mean ADVERTISE rhst you can do American & Asian vehicles but European is a full stop NO!! Significant time wasted today!! Thanks! Oh and we were told rhst Audi covers the first few oil changes for free...only if you spend $3500-4500 on a maintenance package which not everyone can afford!! Einstein will be getting the middle finger on the drive by and o will find rferyÿ
Dustin Samuel and a few others helped me today and were outstanding they were quick and chatted with me through out the process whoever the kid with the man bun from Alaska also helped and made the experience better. Very fast and very professional
Good place for an oil change, but it did take a lot longer than the 15 minutes ...I was there 45 minutes
Very fast and friendly service. I will definitely be back.
While visiting Nampa Idaho,, my Ram Fuel filter warning came on. Searched for a drive through oil change like the one I enjoy in my home town. I called Einsteins then decided to try them out. Professional, friendly and honest. If you have not tried Einsteins, I suggest it.
Nice crew, friendly and fast.
It doesn’t get much better than this. I love not having to leave my car, and usually don’t have to wait in line. I really appreciate how they suggest but don’t make you feel pressured to upgrade or add things on. Great place!
Killed car battery had to get towed wife had to uber home wouldnt help compensate. Took to mechanic and resolved due to loose terminal. But Einsteins now valvoline wouldnt do a thing to help. New ownership is a joke dont give them your business.
Great service and very very polite! Would recommend and definitely go back.
Not Einstein anymore...and the service shows.Recently bought out by Valvoline.Waited almost 1 hour in the bay getting serviced.Felt bad for the cars stuck in line behind me.Technicians looked like they didnt know what they were doing.Often walking around aimlessly.Where did Einsteins go?
Knowledgeable! Friendly. Didnt push unnecessary services. 10/10!!! why we come back
I love going to Einstein’s and the Caldwell location is the best! Always courteous and friendly, I appreciate feeling cared for and valued while doing something as mundane as getting my car serviced.Support local businesses!
Fast they are kinda pushy with the fuel cleaners and flushes that manufacturers recommend
I showed up 5 minutes before closing time on a Friday... they happily started on my vehicle and I entered the bay about 20 or 25 minutes after 5. They ran into a problem being able getting my oil filter back on. Eventually every employee was involved and not one but ALL of them kept their patients and professionalism! I was very impressed with how they had a problem and kept at it until solving it and doing it with a smile! I left at 6:30, an hour and a half past closing time on Friday... They offered me a discount and were very apologetic about the time it took. I was just happy they got it done and didnt give up.
Took a hr and a half to get my oil changed plus waiting time. First time there and just might be my late
They are quick and efficient.
Very fine. Sorry that because of Einsteins theory my car isnt able to surpass the speed of light... Darn the luck anyway
They are FAST!! You get in, they change the oil and go over all the specifics on levels, etc, vacuum and you are out of there in a quick HURRY!!!😊💃
My first time coming and I was impressed. They were super fast, super informative on potential services I need and very professional. I will return.
Worst service ever, Im not sure if its because valvo6nought then or what but I needed them to do my a/c and serpentine belt which they told me I needed done a few months ago and they had the lamest reasons why they couldnt/wouldnt do them ugh they list my service and my mans!!!!!
First started coming to einstein because it was close to my work. Now I take them almost every vehicle I have to resell. They are efficent and check over many things. Not only do they do a great job. The staff if helpful and courteous. Will recommend again and again.
Sadly I had to change my review, Einsteins has changed to Valvoline and in doing so have taken away the awesome show you got when getting your service done, now you have to ask for basic service you that normally they would just do as part of the beginning inspection, gone are the visual diagrams to show you the condition of your various types of fluid, didnt even check my brake fluid to my knowledge. Gone are the camera that were showing you under the vehicle, Im guessing because of COVID they no longer ask if you want to see the paper or drink, so that not has no bearing on this review. The crew is still top notch, but the Valvoline reps are killing the experience. Now its just another jiffy lube.Im lucky enough to be able to work on my own truck so Ill go back to doing that, I enjoyed the show and convenience of not having to do it myself because of that.Dont get me wrong its not a bad place to get your oil fixed but it was a lot more fun when it was actually Einsteins. ( I think their keeping the name, the window sticker no longer has their logo so who knows where you got your oil changed 3000 miles ago.Just be sure to ask them to double check oil after they get done changing it. And ask about fluid top offs I forgot to do that so I dont even know if my windshield wash has been filled. Also asked to make sure your brake fluid is filled.All I know is they missed a lot of opportunity to upsell and the great service you got with the old ways is now gone. Didnt even offer to wash my window.But I put that on the new Valvoline people.
TOO MUCH YELLING AND SCREAMING OUT TIRE PRESSURES OIL AND WASHER LEVELS AND EVERYTHING. I think I aged a month in the half hour I spent there, but in all fairness, they did a good thorough job. Ill probably watch for a coupon and go back to Jiffy Lube. A lot quieter.
Thats only place that open for oil change. Since covid-19. They doing good job. God continues to protect them from Covid-19.
I always get wonderful service at Einsteins in Caldwell. They have taken good care of my car, which has 214 thousand miles on it! And they are able to tell me if it is ready to die!
So far, so good. An interesting chqnge from other places. Its more of a drive thru. Alot of great employees, very helpful.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff along with fast service! Wouldnt go anywhere else!
A little bit of a wait. Chance to read my book. The guys there super nice.
They cover all the essentials from tire pressure to lights.. used to get a cup of coffee and a newspaper, but not anymore!?! Too bad, it was nice to pass time while waiting..
This was our first time getting our oil changed with this company. It was kind of fun! Got beverages and didnt have to get out of our vehicle. Dante and his team were very courteous and informative! We will be back!
Best place to get your oil changed!
Why have I Never chosen this place to do my oil changes!!? They’re fantastic, knowledgeable and very quick with their service! I highly recommend. I’ll be back jere to do my oil change every time.
Went to get my oil changed here a few months ago and the service was alright. But I changed the oil in my car yesterday to see that the plug to my oil pan and my oil filter were not even tightened all the way! The plug could have easily fallen out and drained my oil without me even knowing and seize my engine. Last time I take my car anywhere for an oil change. Beware.
The staff are too awesome! Super helpful... and tbh kinda fun to listen to em 🤣
They did a really good job listened to my concern s amazing costumer service.
They are awesome. They have helped me out in so many ways that I will be going back to them. Their employees are extremely helpful and amazing not just to me but to my wife and my kids.
Good professional service. Never have had a problem!
The manager and staff are always friendly and go out of there way to make it a great experience wouldnt go anywhere else
Great service from employees, always attentive of who comes in, greats every customer and offers a drink, newspaper, or Kindle.
Quick and friendly service. Reasonable rates.
Good place they are very efficient and take time to explain things to you
Einsteins was bought out by Valvoline. The experience of going to an Einsteins is a bit lost (no more complimentary news paper or coffee), but they still do a good job.
Wow! I received amazing help today from an incredible worker who does everything with a smile and under the hood of hot car in 90 degrees! Thank you Einstein’s in Caldwell. I made it safely to Portland because of you!
They really make your feel special.
Fast, efficient and knowledgeable and friendly.
I had my transmission fluid replaced and after, noticed a leak. I came back in and they fixed the issue, plus offered to reimburse me for the cat litter I had to purchase to clean up the spill. Thanks for making it right! I love einsteins because of their fast, friendly service and knowing theyre someone I can trust with my car.
ÖMGOSH! I love this place! I drive 20 minutes out of my way to get my service at this store. So fast and very mindful of the line and how long the wait is and they move the traffic aaround to make sure they dont make you wait too long.... The best experience ever. I will never sit in a waiting room again. A free soda and paper! 💟 😍 pleas check it out you will not be disappointed! Thank you guys! My cabin filter is working so nice. No more stinky smell!
The employees were nice and not pushy at all. I will say they are very thorough. They cleaned my windshield, offered me a drink and newspaper. They dont have a lobby so youll be waiting in your car while they change your oil. It is quick service so I expected to pay more, and I did. They put air in my tires, checked for leaks, inspected my front and back lights. The best part was they replaced a bulb in my front lights which saved me a trip to Auto Zone. There was one car ahead of me when I arrived so total time from arrival to finish was about 30 minutes.
They were very nice, gave me the newspaper and asked if I wanted to use a tablet. Also, I LOVED that they had cameras under vehicle so,I could see what they were doing. Sometimes I have suspected that places didnt really change my oil. No doubts with Einsteins!
These guys were great...even though my dip stick broke. They didnt just slam the hood. They let me know the little circle broke. They ordered a new one. They bring me a soda pop. They offered me a newspaper. They were really on their game. I really appreciated the customer service. I would not have a problem recommending them to anyone. I really respect that they told me that the plastic thing on my dipstick broke and really appreciate they replaced it. Because seriously I probably wouldnt have noticed for a few weeks. I totally respected this honesty.
Awesome experience!! This was our first time here and my husband and I were amazed at the great professional service that was provided. Dante was very friendly and very transparent about everything that was being done on my truck. There are cameras that let you see everything that is being done.They even had complementary drinks for us. Wow very Impressed! I would like to add that you dont even have get off of your vehicle. Everything is done while your sitting in your seat. They also have great communication amongst each other to make sure everything is being done. They even checked to make sure all my lights are working properly and all fluids under the hood were filled as they should be. Very much worth what we paid!
They always have good customer service.
Love going here for oil changes. They check the light and all fluids and top them off for 3 month or 3000 miles. I will be returning.
The best Einstein Oilery is here in Caldwell, if anybody needs communication skills, get your oil changed there and just listen to how well they communicate with each other. Makes you feel certain that things will be done right... Thanks fellas see ya in the next 3000, keep up the good work.
Service is good but overall extremely pricey for oil... I see your reply. I used a coupon but have a 2500 that requires special oil so.. No choice.
I like that they let you know if theres anything that might need replaced, but they dont push you to have it done now
Great staff and the little additional beverages while you wait, window cleaning, tire pressure/fill are awesome!
Love this place and will be a regular customer.
Quick, friendly service
I went in for a basic oil change. They were friendly and greeted me with smiles! They got me right in. I told them not to bother putting windshield wiper fluid in because my reservoir was cracked, and no point in wasting theirs! Well, one of the guys didn’t hear me say that and filled it anyway. It remained full. They had me test it and they found that a line was broken! Joe, who normally manages a Einstein’s Oilery in Garden City, wasn’t happy leaving it that way! He found some tubing and fixed it!i am so grateful that I can clean my windshield again! Great service and I’d highly recommend this place.
Took the car here for the first time after buying it. The previous owner had taken the car to get its oil changes here. There was something wrong with the oil pressure sensor so they told me they would take a look. Even though they couldnt fix the problem they had no hesitation to take a look and see what they could do.
I love Einsteins. It may cost a little more, but the service is so worth it. Its such a luxury to never have to leave your car and to be given a newspaper or tablet and a soda over ice after a long day. Its also entertaining to both watch on TV screens and listen as the workers call out whats being done back and forth to each other. My kiddo adores going and listening to and watching everything thats going on. Theyre also very low pressure in my experience. They do recommend services, but when you tell them not today or its just not in my budget right now, then they leave it at that, which is really appreciated.
One of the best of change places around. Good service on car, dont get out of vehicle. Serve you a drink, newspaper, and Kindle fire, while you wait.
Won’t ever go anywhere else! This place does such a good job, they’re quick and I love that they check everything with the inspection! Today Dante helped me and he did a great job! I’ll definitely be back!
They seem to have done alright, however it doesnt feel you with confidence when some young kid walks up to a running diesel pickup and asks if its a diesel...
The place is awesome, never had to get out of my tahoe, they offered something to drink and a newspaper or tablet, they explained everything they were going to do and had screens so you could watch all they did. In all it took 11 minutes, they were like a NASCAR pit crew, they even thanked me for my service to this country, which i thought was a beautiful touch. Thanks guys, you were great, i highly recommend this place.
Great first time in loved the service, price was great and was fairly timely!
Great service and thorough! Always use them for our oil changes and small checkups!
Awesome every time! Wont even go anywhere else.
Had oil changed before travel trip today. Asked about additional services. Zech and Dustin provided detailed answers without pressure to buy. Really appreciated that!
These guys are always so nice. They are fast and friendly never pushy. I reccomend this place to everyone. Brandon and Dustin were amazing today
I prefer the Nampa location because the staff are amazing and take great care.
These guys are awesome and offer great discounts from having to wait to a simple misunderstanding, they really take care of you and your vehicles needs. Offer complimentary drinks and reading materials. Overall they get my approval for good business. 👍
I love this place!I wait inside of my car with my kids and 10 o 15 min. Later ready to go!
Fast service and clean work.
Zech was very helpful. Andreas quoted us wrong so we almost got ripped off 100$ but thanks to Zech he helped us sort out the problem and we were able to qualify for the deal. I highly recommend Zech gets a raise and if you have the opportunity to choose your worker to choose Zech.
No good
Fast service
Great group of guys!I have been a regular since this company started years ago.Never done me wrong...
Great fast friendly service, glad I did my trani flush with them. Nice to be able to see on camera under the hood as they work. Good communication, easy menu of services, not pushy if you decline. Which actually made me opt for the upgrade to trani flush.
