Five Reasons to Avoid Quick Lube Shops

We get it; quick lube shops are fast and convenient. However, with our Express Oil Change services at Lester Glenn Honda, you’ll still see those same perks and avoid the many pitfalls of a quick lube shop.

They Lack Our Expertise

Quick lube shop mechanics don’t need any expertise to be hired. Due to their inexperience (and rushed techniques), you’re more likely to get your vehicle damaged at a quick lube shop. Many of their mechanics overtighten bolts while rushing, leading to damaged drain plugs and oil filters.

Speed is Their Goal

Rushed service doesn’t just lead to potential damage. You also won’t get the thorough inspections you’ll receive at our Honda service center.

They Prioritize Simple Solutions

Quick lube shops are always looking for a quick fix in the name of speed. That also means they avoid certain cars from the get-go if they sense they’ll take longer, so you could be denied service altogether.

They Look for Any Chance to Save

Many quick lube shops sell the cheapest parts they can get to maximize their profits. Don’t think they’ll pass the savings on; those components are sold at a high markup. The low quality and high prices mean a higher incidence of failure, so you spend more later on repairs and replacements.

You’ll Be Pushed Into Services You Don’t Need

Quick lube shops are all about the upsell. Since their primary services are priced so low, their mechanics are incentivized to add on all the extra services and premium products they can.
