Gary’s Oil City

Took my jeep in today and paid for a full service, I took it home and crawled underneath to check something else and noticed that none of my grease zerks had been touched.

Went in for full service oil change (quoted on phone at 60 to 75 dollars) was charged 98 dollars. 10 minute oil change, was charged 40 min..

This place is a joke ever since it became Gary’s Oil City. Chuck Petersen owned it for years and I never had a single problem or complaint and it was the only place i ever had my car serviced. I always get the full service which includes topping off of all fluids and battery check. Three weeks ago my car wouldn’t start, opened the hood to discover that not only were the hydraulics that hold the hood open broken, but the battery connector was corroded clear thru the connector. Clearly nobody did a visual inspection a month ago when it was in for a «full service» that cost me 90 dollars. They always try to sell me new belts, or a gear box service, or a new air filter even if it’s just been replaced. I’m wondering if they even really change the oil. Never again. What a bunch of shysters. Do not go here.

This is one of the only places in Elko that I know of that does oil changes. However, they are extremely well priced, very quick, and, like most oil change places, they try to get you to add on multiple services. However, that being said, they are really nice about it and don’t take it personally when you tell them no. I have had them do air filters a couple of times as well as top off the fluids. There are two different types of oil changes-​you can do the oil and filter only for about $ 30 or you can top of fluids as well for about $ 50. I am usually in and out of here around 20 minutes even when they have to do other things (air filters, fluids, etc.). They are are EXTREMELY nice here and I’ve never had a bad experience!

Great place for a Greyhound bus to stop for in the middle of the night so the smokers can get off of the bus and smoke 3 – 5 cigarettes in 5 minutes
