Economy Lube

The owner and people who work on Economy Lube at Mississauga location not only are unprofessional but also are very dishonest. I went to Economy Lube workshop at Mississauga on October 11, 2018 to change oil of my car. After 2 hours the repairman came and said: "the oil pan of your car was leaking. I fixed it with silicon that's why it took too long". I answered: "my car had no leaking before". He responded: "it was a very small crack that's why you hadn't seen any leaking. Don't worry I fixed it. You should change it next time". I left the workshop and came back home. When I parked my car and exited the car I saw a huge amount of oil under my car.

Horrible place! I had an oil change done and started leaking oil. I took it to a certified place and my oil plug was 4 threads out. This could have potentially been really bad had I not noticed puddles every time I parked my car. I pay for synthetic oil and I was told that my oil filter had NOT been changed by the shape it was in. I had 2 people look under my car for apparent rust proofing I paid for and was told my car which is only 2 years old is not rust proofed. 149.99 for no service? This place talked me into a transmission flush when my car only had 78,000 on it as well. I will NEVER take my car back here and neither will a lot of my friends. I have pictures and copies of my receipts and am going to pursue this further.

I would like to use this venue as an opportunity to warn people regarding a company called Economy Lube & Tire Lynden Rd. My truck went in for an oil change. That I just purchased the vehicle and it just passed a safety check and was inspected by my own mechanic, this Economy Lube & Tire company did not replace the oil filter and if I had not noticed The following day I would be driving around with the used oil filter after a new oil change. As if that wasn’t bad enough my truck went in without any coolant leaks and it came out with a major coolant leak. The morning after I found a puddle of anti-freeze under my truck.

It was just verified that my filter was not changed when I was there because I couldn't get the filter off. I am so pissed off right now, I was suspicious when I looked when I was still in Brantford because the filter was the same brand that a Toyota dealer put on and there was no oil under the housing! Now they say, "Well I can give you a free one..." I really don't wanna go back though.

I went in for an oil change a week or so ago, based on promotions of a free set of wiper blades. There was so much confusion about the promotion and about what I needed done to my car. Well after paying for an oil change and an undercoat spray, I got one wiper blade and the promise the other will be in in a day or two. Two days later, no wiper blade. I called the following day, after hearing it will be in for sure, no blade. The next day I called yet again, and was told he just ordered it and it will be in the next day. I said to set it aside under my name and I will be in Monday at the latest to pick it up. Monday, no blade, all sorts of confusion and no idea where it could be, other than a phone call later, the person on the other end admitted to not ordering it. Someone ran next door to get me a 22" blade, and they went to put them on. They obviously had no idea how to install it, then the excuses started.

I have brought my two cars for oil change, but never bringing them again. I was told by them that my car needed transmission oil change and other things and it was not true. I paid $250.00 and this was incorrect. My husband told me that he had just done all that I had paid for early this year. So I was tricked into expenses that were not required. I find these people very dishonest, and they don't care for people to spend money they might not have. I will never bring any of my cars again to this place.

Just took my car there for an etest. Told wait time would be 45 minutes so I went for coffee. When I returned was told car would not start, even though the car had been running perfectly. Luckily I know a bit about cars and checked the battery connections and fuses. Somehow even though the car worked perfectly when I parked it there the fuse had somehow became unlodged and when I reset it the car stated and works perfectly. I will never return to this business for anything.

I was just at Economy Lube for a regular oil change. I requested the basic oil, and that's it. When the guy came back he told me that I shouldn't get the basic because it's not good for my car and it's not what my car needs. Again, I told him I just wanted basic oil. When he came back to me a second time, he said, "We did the oil change and if you care about your car you should get the transmission fluid done". I turned around and said, if "I care about my car?... I wouldn't come here to get my oil changed if I didn't care about my car..." Then we were going back and forth about what he had said... and I want to say that sure I got my oil changed... but very poor customer service. Won't be going back. No one tells me that I should care about my car because I know what has to be done and what doesn't have to be done.

My 78 yr. old grandmother went at 1369 Dundas St E, Mississauga, ON L4Y 4E7, Canada for a vehicle inspection, got charged for a coolant change $199.00 and rustproofing $199.00 (in the middle of winter). A $30 bill went to $451.98. Not impressed.

I stopped by the Fairway Road Economy Lube this afternoon. At first, I thought I had a pretty positive experience. The staff were friendly and fast (probably too fast in retrospect). The only thing I was originally concerned about was that my oil change was $20 more than the highest price on the price board. The tech told me the price for "my oil" had just fallen off. Could happen I suppose.
