Wow a ton of bad reviews... I take both of my trucks here and have been for a while now and have noticed more lately how bad they have gotten I was there today and I guess now they are making appointments and not letting anyone in line know what they are doing. So after sitting in line for over 2 hours they let someone cut line saying they had an appointment.But not saying anything or separating the lines. I can change the oil on my trucks myself... Walmart get your shizzle straight...Service: Oil change

This is my "should have checked Yelp first" review.After first calling to confirm that they had an air cabin filter in stock and time to install it, I walked into Walmart Auto Care Center to find a follicly challenged man on an ego trip. This man kept telling a young applicant how grateful the applicant should be for the opportunity to work at Walmart. After the applicant dutifully agreed, the man continued and essentially made the applicant kowtow while a customer (me) was onlooking and recite an oath of allegiance.In retrospect, I should have left, but I thought the need for a less stinky car was worth stinky customer service. I was wrong. The man had no record of my phone call and seemed annoyed that I wanted to purchase a part. He begrudgingly said that he would look for the part, which turned out to be 20 feet away from where we were standing. He agreed to walk the 60 seconds to my car to figure out if they could install it, even though the Walmart website said installation is $10. Midway through the walk, my man had a change of heart and instructed me to pull my car to where he was standing. Perhaps he got his steps in for the day. Anyway, he concluded that his colleagues could not install the air cabin filter because they could damage the car in doing so. I asked for clarification and received an unintelligible response. I then asked if he could discount the part since I drove a long distance and was promised it would be installed, to which he said "it is MY store, and I do not give discounts." When I asked this man his name, he cartoonishly pumped out his chest and proudly proclaimed "I am Nick." Luckily for my sanity, I initially misheard the first letter and thought he said something more apropos and comical.Slightly cheaper prices are not worth the headache -- one star.

Got my oil changed recently. At first I was discouraged as I arrived 30min before their closing time, per their posted closing time online. Thanks to Hector for respecting and honoring the stores online closing time he did my oil change, regardless of his coworkers negativity. Hector had great customer service and was very down to earth. If you ever go get your oil changed at this location def ask for him. He knows what he is doing and is professional. Thank you again Hector!

Just drive 8 more minutes west and go to Oceanside Walmart. I guess all the techs for this vista location decided not show up to work. All of us that got there early to line up were screwed.

Sign outside the auto center says "No Waiting Get your oil changed now! '. I and 5, no wait now 4 other customers have been waiting just to get checked in for over 30 minutes. Sure feels like considerable waiting.

If I could give them 0 stars I would. Terrible service Every time I come. They need to hire more ppl at the auto service! Forever to get an oil change and when they did take my car I waited 3 hours. Once I came here too right when they supposed to be open nobody showed up and I waited 20 minutes.

The best team doing oil changes and tires at any Wal mart in Aan Diego. These guys know what's aUp about cars and getting through tons of customers super quick and beat yet super cheap. Nobody beats Wal mart oil change and like. My battery cable was about to break andServices: Tires

I have serviced my car here multiple times in the past, usually they are on top of their game, I come drop my car off and go inside to shop while the car is being serviced (Oil Change). Today 2/11/23 was a different experience, after waiting inside the car for about 10 minutes, I walked inside the shop to get someone's attention. I talked to the (tire guy) and said, "Hey I would like to drop off my car & get an oil change today. He responded " Well FIRST OF ALL, you can't be in here" (First of all?), as he put the chains back up, and stormed off. I'm 42 years old & pretty competent, if I would have known I would have not gone in there. I had no idea I couldn't be back there since the chains were on the floor, I'm guessing they said (Employees only). I let the initial (First of all) comment slide, but after waiting for another 10 minutes & (NO ONE) coming to attend me I was done. I got out of line & did my shopping. Walmart Lube used to be outstanding, now they are horrible. Shame on you.Service: Oil change

This place has poorly trained technicians, and every time I came to have my oil changed, it was always someone different than the previous time. Every different manager that was working the floor either didn't know what they were doing or they didn't care!Now, They use impact drivers to remove and replace your drain bolt and that alone is pretty scary especially when your drain pan only has three threads in it! Plus, they won't allow you to bring your own quality oil filter anymore because they want to use the orange Fram oil filter which are totally crap!! I encourage anyone who cares for their cars to YouTube the Fram oil filter comparison to see what I'm talking about! You'll be horrified when you watch it!!Also, often times the technicians spend precious time talking about their personal lives amongst themselves while cars are lined up outside waiting to get serviced!!If you're one of the fortunate customers who gets their car through without a hitch, be sure you check oil level when you get home, then check under your vehicle for leaks or drips, because on one occasion, they forgot to put the washer back on the drain plug on my truck so i had a mess on my concrete driveway when i got home!!My family and I will never return to that service center again and prefer to pay the extra more money for quality trained professionals!!"Cheap service isn't always good, and good service isn't always cheap!"

I went in to replace 4 SUV tires, an oil change, and possibly new battery. When I arrived at 2pm, I waited in the oil change line, hoping to get oil changed before my 3pm tire appointment. Due to not enough technicians, I was asked to leave the oil change line to make my 3pm tire appointment. Unfortunately, WalMart policy is not to do oil changes while your tires are being replaced. I asked for a manager and NIck responded with pretty much the WalMart policy. I would have to wait until after my tires were changed and then go back to the oil change line (that I had already waited at least 20 minutes). Nick worked some magic by getting my tires replaced quickly, then having my oil changed and to top it off, he tested and replaced my battery. This was good for Walmart, good for Nick and good for me!

I gave them the benefit of the doubt seeing as how it had such a low rating on google reviews. Well it was a waste of time to say the least. Went to the auto center to get a tire replaced. I was aware that I would need to order a new tire. Went inside and was told to go outside so they can order it. Went outside and got told to go inside. Then a manager came and said he could take a look just not at the moment because, “he was busy”. I looked around and only 2 cars were being worked on and neither of them were for tires. I had counted at least 6 workers in the bay. I would definitely not recommend this place.Service: Auto tire replacement
