Einstein’s Oilery

Fast and friendly service! I usually dread going to the mechanic due to the lack of friendliness and the speed of service. I was in and out of Einstein’s within 20 minutes on a Saturday. At prior mechanics, a Saturday oil change would take two hours or more out of my morning. It was also awesome to be in the car the whole time, and get to watch the work performed underneath via TV. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

I absolutely love this place. In the early 2000s I was really young and naïve and I got scammed by a very well known company. I told them that I was traveling out of state so the man helping me told me he couldn’t legally let me leave unless I «fixed» everything that need fixed. $ 300 later — I realized I had been had. I have always been very skeptical since because I know I am an easy target but the employees here have never made me feel like they were talking me into anything. They always let me know what is suggested and they let me decide. They have amazing customer service and really seem to enjoy their job. I love that they offer you a newspaper and something to drink and the fact that I can stay in my car is awesome. Best place to get an oil change, period.

I love Einstein’s, the service is excellent, the prices are great, the facility is very nice! When you arrive for an oil change they give you a newspaper and a soda, coffee, or hot chocolate. :-)

Good service — reasonable prices. Staff members at the Fairview store are pleasant and helpful.

I LOVE this place! Its not just another lube center, its much much different. First off, you NEVER get out of your car. You drive in, they kindly introduce themselves, offer you a beverage & newspaper to read while waiting in your car. Another huge difference is there are 3 TV screens right outside your window. 1 tv has the news playing, & the other 2 screens are live video of the person under your car draining your oil & the other screen is the guy working under the hood of your car! These guys are nothing but fast, efficient & professional. They informed me I had a license plate light out & replaced it no problem. I recommend Einstein Oilery to everyone I know! Also, they always have coupons circulating for $ 10 off or $ 24.99 oil change. My fathers Volkswagen Touareg & Eos both require synthetic oil & the price at Einstein’s was $ 20 less than the dealership price.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Not your average quick oil change service.
They run out to greet you and offer you great stuff: news paper, amazon fire tablet, coffee or soda.
You don’t have to get out of your car.
You can watch TV or your car’s service via the set of monitors by the driver’s seat while they are working on your vehicle.
They explain every product/​service before offering it and don’t push it if you say no thank you on specialty items.
They call everything out so you know what’s getting done.
Friendly and fantastic! I’ll be taking our vehicles here again :)

Wow! You want the best in customer service this is the place! !!! A big shout out to Saul manager and John asst. Manager. I received the normal awesome service, been coming here since 2011 with both our cars.
Today i Went out side to find a trail of car fluid 2 weeks from having service. Having basics in car mechanics i took pictures and went to Einstein. I showed my pictures to saul. Instead of taking a chance of damaging my car, Saul and John took the time to come to my house. Found out, i was leaking coolant from a cracked t-​joint. Picking up the correct hose connector, (not a capped off t-​hose connector) they both insisted i bring my car in with the correct part and let them make sure its put in right and running solid. I drove my car around to build up pressure in the connector, and was asked to come back to make sure it’s holding the pressure and has no more leaks.
I’m not a mechanic so explaining my experence i hope you can understand. 1. They don’t do house calls but did. 2. They don’t do this kind of repairs there, but did.
I felt like a part of their family, i know they had my back.
IF YOU WANT THE BEST OF THE BEST GO TO EINSTEIN ON FAIRVIEW AND LOCUST GROVE. ASK FOR SAUL OR JOHN, you will meet men who care about you, your safety and your car. Be apart of the family. I know i am.

I have frequented this location for over a year. I come in for routine maintenance and some specialized repairs/​maintenance. Saul, Kevin, and Marco have assisted me a few times and I appreciate their efforts.

Wife went here to get a service as they were open on Sunday 5/10…Mother’s Day with our daughter while they were out running errands. Not only did they talk her into switching to synthetic on a car with 66k miles they also tried to tell her the 60k service hadn’t been done on it and tried to talk her into those services as well. Word to the wise don’t let your wives go here alone!

Awesome service! Einstein’s is an appropriate name, their operation is pretty genius… Good prices. they bring you a beverage, offer you a newspaper or kindle, show you everything they are doing… They give discounts for getting your next oil change within 500 miles of the recommended mileage. Will check/​top off fluids and tires in between oil changes for free. They gave me such great service, they even changed my brake light for free! Highly recommend!

Don’t even have to get out of the car. Plus you get a drink to go along with it. And as a teacher you get 12 dollars off every time. I might be coming here from now on.

I took my Honda in this morning for an oil change service. The staff members were all very friendly and ready to assist me. Saul assisted me throughout my visit and he was very polite and informative regarding the services that are offered here. I was able to sit in my car with my 2 year old son which couldn’t have been more perfect. We were kindly greeted the moment we approached the building and were offered water, coffee and hot chocolate, a newspaper or a kindle! Saul even gave my son a lollipop which made him very happy! The oil change and inspection did not take long at all. Everyone was so polite and efficient on getting my car in and out! I will definitely be returning here! Thanks for all of your help!

Went in this morning for oil change and lube job then went and got my tires rotated and balanced. went out to check the brakes and all the grease fittings did not have new grease on the fittings. took it back and this time they lube the ball joints… this cost me time and fuel… NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR SERVICE AT ALL… how many other vehicles did you miss greasing??? invoice #1−161 661 transaction #14 081 400 161 661 UNHAPPY CUSTOMER DARRELL DAMRON MERIDIAN IDAHO

This is the best place to get your oil changed! Was recommended by both my sisters and loved it. They offer you a beverage, newspaper and even a kindle fire to doodle with while you wait! Quick, polite service and they do an amazing job!!!

I took my car here for an oil change and because my car was making a whining sound. I knew I needed power steering fluid so I asked to make sure they checked it. Of course the paper says it’s included. So… they finally found where the power steering fluid goes (I guess it’s way in back). The mechanic pulled out a funnel to put the fluid in but it wouldn’t reach so they told me we can’t put it in for you. I said this is the reason I came in here today, I need power steering fluid. The mechanic asked, you didn’t need your oil changed? Um… yes I did but this is included so once I heard the whining I came today. They just kept telling me sorry we don’t have a funnel that can reach your power steering fluid. So… what am I supposed to do? Oh well, we send our customers to Bobbys Transmission for things we can’t do. So let me get this straight because you don’t want to think outside of the box to get my power steering fluid into my car (which was included in the price) I’m supposed to go somewhere else and waste more of my day to get the job done when I just paid you for it??? What’s really funny is they weren’t even going to check it until I asked. The real kicker is that on my paper work it says that my power steering fluid level was ok. Interesting. And for the send off that I was given, «I hope you’re day gets better.» Wow. The car I drive is a Chevy Impala which is a very common vehicle so I’m not quite sure why this place wouldn’t be show to perform a full oil change on a common car. I went to Bobbys Transmission and they were amazing! The mechanic got the fluid in in less than a minute! I will not go back to Einsteins again. Now I’m wondering if they did this same thing to me the other 2x I went in, telling me everything is ok and it’s not.

This is what every business needs to model. As soon as I pull up the guy runs out to my car like he is excited to see me. The service is superior. The employees look like they enjoy their jobs. I get a paper or a nook to read, also starbucks coffee while I wait in my car. Clean my windshield. Because of that I don’t mind paying a bit extra.

What a GREAT place — I wish ALL repair shops were as good as Einstein’s!
My husband and I stopped by Einstein’s yesterday because our Volvo has been acting up lately. Michael (the owner) ran a diagnostic for us, and unfortunately, it’s not something THEY can take care of @ Einstein’s; however, he was SO helpful! He gave us what information he could gather and recommended a couple of places to try. (Any mechanics out there??? You should take a look at the way Michael does things… and model your own business after they way Einstein’s does business!) I wish ALL car maintenance/​repair businesses were as helpful, as honest and as trustworthy as Michael and the crews he’s got working at his multiple locations around the area. Unfortunately, I’ve now got to find an honest mechanic who works on Volvo’s… and sadly, my most recent experience with an auto repair shop was an absolute nightmare! I sure do wish it was something they could take care of for us @ Einstein’s, because we have established such a high level of trust for Michael (and because of that, we also trust his crews)… and that’s not something that happens all that often in «the car business» these days!
Anyway, even though they couldn’t DO the repair, Einstein’s was still a GREAT place for us to start! And because we DID stop by there — and Michael was willing to take a look at it for us – we will likely save us an immense amount of money in the long run (according to what his diagnostic revealed). If we’d have ignored the warning signs it’s been giving us, we could have been in for some VERY expensive repairs down the road.
Thank you, once again, Michael!!! You have been SOOO helpful on many occassions and you are appreciated! :-)
If anyone is looking for a good place to take their car for service… we think Einstein’s is DEFINITELY the best place in the valley!

Class act service! Why would anyone get their oil changed anywhere else. Free newspaper, Wi Fi and drink while you wait in your car. Staff is amazingly friendly and cordial. Staff Is just real where your car stands and they recommend things with no sales pressure. Between oil changes stop by for tire pressure checks and fluid top offs. I am disappointed I have driven by this place and never tried them out. Thanks to the reviews I would have never tried this place out. I will recommend this place to friends and family. Nice to see the owner Michael working on cars with his staff. Keep this business going by bringing all your cars here for their oil changes and maintenance checks.

Great and you can read the paper in your car.

I was really impressed with the service and atmosphere at Einstein’s Oilery. The servicemen were upbeat, friendly, and efficient. They seemed to actually enjoy their jobs and make you feel important. They politely offered additional services without being pushy or trying to scare me. The free wifi, drink and «sucker» for my son were nice added benefits.
