Been trying to get a transmission flush for weeks, as Express Oil advertises on their website. First two locations (Gadsden & Birmingham) do not even have the machine. The third site I call does, so I make an appointment for 1PM the next day. I arrive ten minutes early and they tell me it will be three hours BEFORE they can start. Whats the use of an appointment? I ask Jeremy what good an appointment is and he replies, Unfortunately I have no control over that.
From the first gentleman to greet me and assist with my oil change, to my interaction with a few employees before my check out process after my tire rotate and balance. I was very pleased with their customer service and personal touch!
I have been using this Express Oil Change specifically for 2 years and they are very convenient and helpful. But, I recently had issues with my brakes. They did a brake check and they told me all 4 of my break pads were leaking (no signs of that) and quoted me $2,200 for fixing it. Then, I went to another shop and they told me it was just a warped rotor which was an under $150 fix. They totally tried to take advantage of me. I will NOT be going back there again, even for an oil change.
Quick oil change and tire balance/rotation. Service was top-notch.
They are great, do good work while meeting their estimates. No surprises.
Very knowledgeable accommodating. Good service
Mike, Spencer, Scott, Jeremy, - the whole team do an incredible job every time we stop in. Weve had our oil changes, bought tires, had a fuel system cleaning and my mini van has never driven so well. They are always friendly and even like to joke with my kids. When it was time to buy tires they even offered me zero percent financing! We love going to this store!
Robert, Mike and the crew were excellent. Giving my new driver and his first car an oil change and important tips for regular maintenance. Great guys, great service. Highly recommended!
Everyone I dealt at this location was super-polite and friendly. The technician who repaired the previous balance job done on my tires (very poorly done at a different tire shop- not Express) did a great job, and my explorer is now a pleasure to drive again! So thankful for their help and expertise.
Friendly and informative staff.
I am incredibly pleased with the service I received today. The guys were extremely professional and thorough! Highly recommend the Hoover AL location!
Ive been using Hoover Express Oil for a few years now and they have always been professional. Michael and Robert helped me out with getting my headlights fixed. They are awesome, thanks guys!
Good information, good and professional service. Reasonable
Very unprofessional and a rip off. They tried to sell me a compressor which I didn’t need. Took my car to another shop and all I needed was Freon. I am still very upset. I have been using Express oil change for a very long time. Basically charged me for nothing. The manager wasn’t friendly at all and showed no remorse.I will never patronize this business again.
To Mike, the Manager, Marcus, Tim and all the other awesome gentlemen at Express Oil on John Hawkins Parkway I would like to say thank you! I am so grateful that I was.lead to come to your location! You are all polite, knowledgeable, kind and wonderfully professional. You have no idea how much your care meant to me. This is my permanent Express location! God bless and I am praying you all will be blessed just as you blessed me! Thank you for your great care and service.
Roll in....roll out. Good customer service.
Mike and his team went outta their way to make sure my hub barrin was right.Thanks guys yall are awesome. I definitely recommend anyone to visit this team of guys .I know Ive found my go to place for my cars..
Great service. Robert got me in and and quickly and was very professional.
They are amazing!! I recommend them to anyone I know! Very quick and professional. They guys that work there are very friendly and nice to everyone who comes in. They know what your car needs! I will always go here!!
I always come here when I can. Even if they seem busy it’s a quick service. Thanks.
This Saturday I got a bolt stuck in my tire on the way to a soccer game, I was lucky to make it back to my side of town, but on my last turn the bolt came out and my tire went immediately flat. I was able to pull off safely to be able to change it. When I began to do so, I realized that my tire iron was too small. I was stuck! I then thought that Express Oil Change was just a short bit away. My parents were able to get their car and drive us there. Michael, the store manager, came to my aid immediately. He grabbed the right equipment and asked where the car was, he came with us and changed my tire and showed me what tools I needed to get since the factory ones weren’t sufficient. He was done quickly, and I thanked him profusely. He was my hero that day. He never said a word about payment and offered to order better lug nuts so I don’t have the same problem in the future. Thank you so much Express Oil Change (Hwy. 150)!!! You guys rock!
Amazing! Great techs, super nice and respectful! Always want to help.
This place is amazing! Make sure you speak to Mike or any of the other associates available. I had the pleasure of working with Mike, the manager, and prior to bring my vehicle and he quoted me a price to have some parts repaired and was true to his word after all the work was done. Might I add, the work was impeccable and it a very decent price. They went above and beyond to make sure all my needs were met and took great care of me. I am forever grateful and when I return to Alabama I will make sure to visit this facility. Thank you so much! The address on the above review is wrong. The gentleman by the name of Mike works at the Express oil and change and tire Express located at 5610 Grove boulevard, Hoover, AL.
My son took my 2002 Ford Taurus in for tire quote and decided to surprise me with an oil change...the person who did the oil change convinced my son I needed to use the higher prices synthetic oil... unfortunately for me, my car is now leaking oil as well as you can smell oil burning from a drip somewhere...going to go have it changed again and go back to my regular oil and see if the issues stop...they should know a 2002 vehicle with 149,000 miles did not need the synthetic oil! Bless my sons sweet heart, he was do busy with his job during that hour or so I just feel like they took advantage of him but his heart was in the right place
Fast and easy. Michael was really nice to our 3 year old, making the oil change fun.
I have always had good service here. Quick, reliable and honest. They are great at finding any issues and make good recommendations. I love using them because they have a safety point service making sure all lights and blinkers work as well as tires coolants etc.
Chris provided me with had top notch hospitality! Welcoming, offered me a bottled of water while I wait, was very helpful and informative! Thanks for your help today!Ken, today was a ball of energy which made getting my oil change enjoyable! Not only did he have a great personality he was very knowledgeable and taught me new places to check (like my air filter inside my glove compartment!) thanks again for the great service!
I wouldnt go anywhere else to get my oil changed. These men work so well together very professional, honest, and hard working. Thank you!!
Awesome people, fantastic efficiency, all you need at $45 a Change
I have used this location now for over 20 years and get excellent service every time. You can trust Ken and Dusty to take care of your car and make appropriate recommendations without pushing or inflating your cost to ensure your car lasts as long as you want to keep it. Thank you Express team! I wouldnt use anyone else!
This team is accountable and professional
“Everyone was wonderful. Didn’t feel pressured to buy or add additional services, although they were offered. Very professional. Very fast, and their friendliness made it go by even quicker.”—wife Jamye
The best, most honest place to take your car for all your needs. They have integrity, the shop is clean, and they honest. I use to go to the Bessemer location and the shop boss moved to the Hoover location and Ive been going there enter since. All of my cars and my childrens cars have been serviced there. That is a total of 5 vehicles.Good job guys, keep it up!
Trustworthy folks, fast a reliable. You can shop for steaks and wine next door while your car is being worked on. its the perfect weekend getaway!
Just wanted you to know that you have a great employee in Andrew Fuller. I have used several of your locations and have not been as impressed as I was by this young man. I am an older lady and he told me what I needed to have done but I never felt like he was trying to force me into doing them. Wonderful addition to your store.
OK for oil changes, but lacked basic tires in stock so was a wasted visit for me. Oil bay staff had to answer the phone so wait was overly long and very hot. Staff member was friendly.
I dropped off a wheel to get a new tire on the work truck. When I went to pick it up I had to wait so long to not get helped that I drove to the location on Grove Blvd and asked them to call over and get my wheel back for me. I’d rather put my new tire back on in my own driveway than let these guys attempt it.
I just got an oil change. It was amazing!! Great service! Highly recommend this place!! Ken was amazing, welcoming and guiding me through the process. I really appreciate it, definitely will ve going back. :)
I use to love coming here and did for years, I knew the faces and always had great work done. Those days are completely gone. Within the last year I have found out that my oil drain plug was cross threaded, 4 wheel lugs were cross threaded and one accessory belt that they told me looked fine completely shredded to pieces not 6 miles down the road. Their service has gone out the window and I cannot stand mechanic who use pneumatic tools without hand threading first. Absolutely pitiful and sad how they have changed.
Ken and the staff at Express Oil Change did a Phenomenal job servicing my vehicle. Unfortunately I wasnt able to make it to the location until 20 minutes prior to closing. They serviced my vehicle with a smile and made sure every step was taken. They operate like a Well Oiled Machine!Kenneth C.
They have taken great care of my vehicles for years. Great folks. Very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend them to all.
Don Frank and Dusty Finch were a wealth of knowledge. Extremely great customer service and explained my specific situation to me clearly and presented me with multiple great options. Really thankful to have true professionals in my area.
They didnt have my oil for my town and country so I had to pay extra for a different oil just because they didnt stock my oil...
Great experience! Very efficient. They let me know I had a dirty air filter without making me feel pressured to fix it immediately. Will definitely be back!
Outstanding customer service.... my battery died last night in a rather remote area. I called express oil change right at closing and not only did they remain open they sent a mechanic with a new battery. He brought and installed the battery on his way home. It was an awesome display of understanding a need and going out of their way to help someone in distress.
Don, Ken and their team are awesome and so professional!! Highly recommend that you visit their location when you need auto work done.
The best Express around. Staff pays special attention to detail and clearly explains any work needed to be done. Highly recommend.
They were fast and friendly. Great job!
I must say I miss this place. Moved away a couple years ago and haven’t been able to find a shop that’s half as good as this place. They were always nice, always did good work, great prices and always straight forward with you.
Love this location!!!! These guys are professional yet friendly! So helpful and answer all my silly questions without any frustration. You can tell they love what they do and treat my car like their own!
Great and Quick service!!
Nice guys here
Excellent service! Great customer service!Your guys need mister fans in the shop!
If you buy your own parts and have a mechanic perform the labor so as to save money, then I would suggest going elsewhere. While its understandable that hardly any mechanic will honor a warranty on a part that was not purchased through the mechanic, this Express Oil Change will not guarantee their labor. This may be a corporate policy that they cant help, but its something to keep in mind when choosing a service center.I had a gasket installed improperly, and when it was brought to their attention, they told me that the warranty was void due to the gasket being purchased elsewhere. Although the gasket had not failed and it was pointed out that the improper installation is the underlying cause, the only response I got was, I dont know about all of that.For oil changes and routine maintenance, this place is fine, but when it comes to repairs and working with a mechanic who will admit when something was done wrong and fix it, Id look elsewhere.
These guys are something else. Probably the best customer services I have ever received during an oil change.
Andrew Fuller was very nice and attentive to my car needs. Really quick and thorough check was given. Great job.
It was a very professional great service experience.
Came here after being completely ignored at not one, but 2 different Wal-Mart tire and lube locations. I was greeted here immediately and the man who I spoke with the entire time was extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you for such wonderful service!
Great customer service. Was told I needed over $800 of brake work at a nearby dealer. I took my vehicle to Express Oil Change and their mechanic showed me that my brakes had at least 50% left. Integrity
Awesome service
Called to see if they had my tire size in stock. I was put on hold for a couple of minutes. Someone picked up and asked who I was holding for. I replied “tire engineers” . He asked me to hold again. I hung up 31 minutes later. I would have hung up sooner but it became a battle of wills. I did eventually loose. But I guess they did too as I will never do business there.
They do not honor the Lifetime rotate and balance package that was purchased through “Tire engineers” rude and not helpful! I can’t believe how rude! He said get the receipt so I did and he did not honor it still!
Bad service
They have a amazing staff the crew is so friendly
I am surprised to see so may positive reviews. i am pretty sure most of them are fake. the workers here are so lazy and they dont have interest in their job.dont know how to respect customer.they dont put all parts back after repair.they even dont know the basics.
Super quick and incredibly friendly! This is my new go to for oil changes!
Excellent service from honest men who I trust. Can’t say enough good things about the way these guys treat me and my family!
