Accelerate fast and keep going

My girlfriend brought her car in for an oil change and now it looks like there is an oil well under our driveway. We have 3 large stains from leaking oil and the crankcase was also overfilled with too much oil. She took it back to complain and they said it must have been leaking from the top of the engine as everything appears tight. They said it should stop in a few days. I would not give these guys the chance... view more to fill a bicycle tire with air !

Great place for honest work

Even though we all know that car maintenance is expensive, whether you go to the dealers or a regular automotive store the difference is in the service.
Well Groovy Lube is far above and beyond most places when it comes to customer service.
Not only do they check your car for free but they kindly take you to and pick you up from work for FREE.
They take great care of their customers and that is what makes me... view more keep coming back time after time again!

Best service in town

I have been to several shops in Texas and around Austin and feel that Groovy is the best in class.

Use to Love them, now can`t stand them. They will rip you off!

I have been going to Groovy Lube for years. I loved them. They were always very helpful and trustworthy. Apparently, they are under new management. They are disrespectful, they arrogantly try to play a game of up-selling you on unnecessary services. However, they don`t even complete the original service you asked them to do. It`s not too much to ask that they check the air on my tires, before they try to upsell me on... view more unnecessary engine cleanings that they know I did just 3000 miles ago.

I am so upset. It`s rare you find a place you can trust, and I unfortunately have lost my faith in them. They have lost a customer for life.

Lost another customer

I originally wrote a long review of our bad situation with them, but decided they weren`t the negative thoughts, so the sweet and short: We took our many cars there, they decided customer service wasn`t part of their business and lost our many cars. We used them and only them, and I just found out they`ve really done a bad job not only for our oil changes but basic vehicle repairs (belts). I wrote the main office f... view morerom the website, and no reply. AGAIN no customer service. Will NOT be going back, will NOT refer anyone, will warn everyone to STAY AWAY. All this after many years of dedicated patronage. NOT an Austin worthy company.

HORRIBLE.... STAY FAR AWAY.

Don`t leave your car with them. They are scam artists. The assistant manager ""Prince"" is a ignorant fool. The Manager will not bother to lift a finger for you. Horrible customer service and a sloppy job. They left their vice grips in my car positioned in a way that the car hood didn`t close properly. We drove on the expressway soon after that. We could have had a disastrous car wreck. The Manager said, ""We... view morell, you could have but you didn`t.""

The car battery was not properly placed back in the correct position nor was it fastened! The car wouldn`t start later that day because the terminals weren`t connecting. I had to tighten the battery terminals myself. On top of that, they said that the transmission needed a new seal. That very same day the transmission starts to slip into neutral. Just like that, a snap of a finger. It works before my visit to them. Then suddenly in an instant it stops working. Don`t bother with these people.

I live in West Campus. They are the closest place to the University, but from now on I`m driving as far away from them as possible.

Terrible Auto Shop

Probably the worst group of mechanics I have ever come across. When my car broke down they over-estimated the cost of the parts by over $200 and told me I needed parts that I didn`t. They also estimated their labor at 3 hours time. It was an old radiator and myself and a friend replaced it ourselves in less than an hour and we are not even mechanics. The car works fine now. I would recommend that no one ever take the... view moreir car to Groovy Lube. They try to act like your local Austin neighborhood shop by putting forward an ""alternative"" vibe, but in the end they just try to rip you off.
