I went to mr. lube for an oil change, this was a bad idea and never will i go there again. they tried to sell me many things that were unnecessary for an extremely high price. They were going to charge me 120 bucks to replace engine and cab filters, instead i went to Canadian tire and picked them up for 30 bucks. Also i was watching closely when they filled up my oil, I only seen them put in two litres, and there is supposed to put in four., they only took out two litres as well. So i made them tale it all back out and put four litres of brand new oil, and i checked it myself to make sure it was good. they also never changed the oil filter so i made them do that too, never go there they are a complete rip off!

I recently did an oil change on my Chevrolet Express in Winnipeg (MC Philips) where they also try to ### me with a transmission flush. First, they told me about the discoloration of the fluid and the presence of metal on the dip stick, and then how the fluid became a liquid like water.
Bull! I have been checking periodically, before and after I went to Mr. Lube . Also, i did a transmission flush some place else a month before. To confirm all this, i went back to the place where i did the flush and the gentleman perform tests three times and showing a clean result.
Of course this just creates frustration and now i wonder if i ever got a honest service by just changing the engine oil and filter by all the other times i went to MR. LUBE.
I took my wife's car ( Rav 4 )into a Mr. Lube and the guy said that the rear differential oil was low and dirty and that I needed to flush it out and replace it. That was going to cost me over $300 so I told the guy I'd do it next time. The car was a lease and we were going to return it so I didn't bother investigating the matter. A year later, I took my car ( Subaru Impreza ) which only had 18, 000km to the same Mr. Lube, and the same guy told me that my rear differential oil was low and dirty and that it would cost me $300. After the alarm bells went off in my head, I told him that I'd just do it at the dealership. When I checked the manual, the car wasn't scheduled for a differential oil change until sometime over 60, 000 km ( I could be wrong but it certainly wasn't 20, 000km ). Never going back to those crooks again.
It never fails when I go for an oil change, they always say the same thing...your oil pan gasket is "sweaty". My 10 year old Honda CRV was constantly in need of a gasket replacement...I never did take their recommendation...but yesterday I took my 2 year old Hyundi Santa Fe and again it was "sweaty"...when I take it to the dealer they never say such things...I wonder if anyone else get this diagnosis.
the 27th I was told the same thing at the victoria park location when i went for a oil change They are total full of BS
Scam, scam, scam. I went to a Mr Lube in Maple Ridge, BC. Same high pressure sales. Tried to sell me a coolant flush, Transmission flush, differential oil change. All with ### and bull stories. Claimed that the glycol level was too high. BS it is up to factory spec. Claimed that the transmission oil was discoloured. BS, it was just the natural colour of transmission oil, and by the way, I had a transmission flush just 8000 km previously at a dealership. Claimed the level of the differential shows the oil was breaking down. Total crap. It was checked at the dealership. Got home and checked my engine oil level. Well the engine oil they should have replaced is discoloured not clear like it should be for new oil. I suspect that they only drained out a portion of the oil and put in a small amount, not the full 6 liters. I am wondering if they even changed the oil filter. I should have watched them, but I trusted them. BAD MISTAKE.
Mr Lube, Pickering, Ontario, Canada location.
These guys are scammers in all the extension of the word, long story short, my nephew took his Lexus IS250 for a simple oil change, these scammers washed his brain with BS, this is the first car for my nephew, and he got nailed with a 300 ### bill...
The following month, my nephew ask me to go with him to change the oil, believe it or not, a different guy told my nephew the same story and want him to charge 200 more... I told the guy to go to HELL...
They got mad... I told him to ONLY change the oil and that's it...
End of it... I told my nephew to NEVER go back there... Crook people..!n!n
Mr Lube, Pickering, Ontario, Canada location.
These people should be charged with theft. They recommended by air and cabin filter be replaced. Like an idiot I allowed them to but the prices they charged were more than double what the dealership did ! Did a number on me with regards to the rear differential fluid as well. CBC's marketplace needs to do a show on them. It would be easy pickings and would put them out of business quickly (which would be of great benefit to the public.)
Engine oil changed(standard oil, manufacture filter) by Mr. Lube on Nov. 15, 2015 with odometer reading 12000 km.
The car was asking me to change oil again on Dec. 16, 2015 with odometer reading 14750km.
Wonder why.
Its very obvious that that whole Mr. Lube franchise is suffering and not making enough money to sustain their business so they are resorting to scamming their customers in an attempt to make up the difference. There are so many complaints from various outlets that I will never take my vehicle their again. I have contacted their head office in an attempt to report them and be reimbursed.
Went in for a simple oil change to mr lube Ajax location and they pushed me into doing an oil flush being a female I didn’t know and they kept saying all these bad things would happen. My car only has 80k and didn’t need it. They just wanted to scam money from me. I won’t be going there again.
Mr Lube on Spadina & Eglinton in Toronto is a complete scam. Went in for a simple oil change and was being constantly approached by the employees for more expensive services such as anti rust spray for $140 and a new air filter for $50. I just changed my filter a week before. I said no to everything and still payed a $60 bill for a simple oil change. Never going back!

Mr Lube seems to cause problems, scams and below grade service and a class action lawsuit should be launched against the corporation as they do not call back or try to stop their franchises from scamming customers.
My 75 yr old mother went for an oil change with a save 12 dollar coupon.she left with a190 dollar bill.synthetic oil...she doesn't even know what that is but was 95 dollars.i phoned and the idiot tells me that he asked her if she wanted to change her oil every 3 months or every 6 without telling her a price difference.btw she might drive 3000 km a year.o and I guess she needed an engine flush for 20 bucks(what a joke)how about the fuel service maintenance for 60 bucks.[censored]ing clowns.wtf is a fuel service maintenance?injector cleaner?all I can say is if anyone takes their vehicle there be prepared to pay the price and be sure the mechanic tosses pizza every night
FORMER employee at Mr.Lube here.
Yes prices are way too high and I agree on that. The reason the employees are so pushy is because the owners of the store pushes the managers to push the employee. And each employee makes certain % off the service they sell AND you can literally make close to a grand end of the month if you sell alot on top of your pay. Wouldn't blame the emoyees rather the corp who jack there prices and owners for setting the target so high so you rinse every customers pocket so they can pocket 90% of it.
To save money heres a tip:
Goto canandian tire and buy the OIL and filter thats one sale so on sale oil is like $30 full synthetic and filters are $10-15 and take it to a garage and pay them $10-$20 labour to do it or unless you can do it your self. WATCH YOUTUBE.
