They are no better or worse than any other place.
Further up the Blvd in Union City is another car wash oil change place as well - Zap Lube or something.

Where can one get a fast (10 minute style) oil change in JC? Not looking for a place where I have to make an appointment, just one of those drive-up businesses.
I found a place online - Flash Lube on Summit Ave - are they any good?

Sorry to go slightly off-topic and I saw your bump on a thread from almost 2 years ago. PDubs had a suggestion and iGreg was, well, his usual self and added no value to the neighborly discussion.

So the chimes are in for oil changes. But what about local independent garages (downtown, if possible, so I can walk home) for mechanical general repairs? Seems like every year we lose one or two of the good ones because of the price of DTJC real estate.

Change that -- Firestone Service has the same deal -- and I really like them - see $19.99 coupon on the web - click link below. They are very nice shop for oil & tires -- but I get others to do all other type of work - and I never bother with their free checklist of things they think I should do.

Absolutely avoid Sears! I paid for Mobil 1 oil change two years ago, they used freaking conventional oil. I only realized when my engine started to seize up. I only change my oil once a year (since I drive so few miles a year) and it was a huge headache. Was also a big fan of Joe's until they switched owners. Now I use Flash Lube in the Heights. Haven't had a problem yet.

I've used Joe's Auto Electric for at least 10 years but they just recently moved down to the south end of Bayonne, so not handy. Suggestions welcome- (Definitely avoid Sears at all costs. Terrible work and not cheap)

Epic is great, very professional - I've been using them for basic maintenance (oil changes, alignment, mounting tires, etc) the last few years.
Not sure if they're set up to do quickie on-demand oil changes all the time. I'd say call ahead - if they say they can get you in & out when you want to go, go for it. Quote:

Downtown - I'd say avoid Sears. They did an ok job with oil and battery change - but took ages.
The smaller shops I've used downtown like A&M Auto are great value - but take longer - typically next day. You're better off getting a full service - winterizing, tire rotation, oil and fluid changes, minor repairs. Outside of downtown - haven't been there - but I've heard good things about Epic. http://www.epicautocare.com/services/

Looking for a local spot for an oil change. Preferably a 10-minute type of thing, but open to any recommendations.

Another recommendation for Flash Lube... been using them for a few years, they are quick, cheap, and never had a problem.

I've been taking my car to this place for oil change in the past two years:
Flash Lube Tel: (201) 222-1022 1026 Summit Ave Jersey City, NJ 07307 I am pretty satisfied with their service and there is hardly ever a waiting line whenever I go.

There's a Castrol place on JFK Boulevard, in North Bergen, north of the Coach House/Paterson Plank Road. I've been going there for about 5 years.

I would not recommend Flash Lube as well. Same thing that happened to regulator happened to me. They did not put the cap on tight enough, leaked oil, went for a road trip, then had to get a whole new engine.

Dealer usually is the best option. I like the one on cityline. I forget the actual name but for around $30 you get an oil change, tire rotation, and a car wash. Just watch out they will sell you on everything. Just remember the dealer recommended maintenance periods for your tranny and engine flushes, etc.

I know this sounds really simple, but I haven't really found a good place to go. The old Jiffy Lube on 440 was great but they closed.
I started going to the Flores Car Wash place on Rt 440 / US1 & Sip Ave but they are always trying to sell you an engine flush / transmission flush or something and it gets annoying. Does anyone have a place they'd recommend for a quick, cheap oil change? Thanks in advance.
