Mr. Lube Canada ripoff

I have known for a fact that Mr. Lube tries to upsell you on just about anything. If you ask for an oil change, they will ask you to change your transmission fluid, too. If you just want to replace your wipers they will ask you to replace your battery, too. And they are very good at it. They tell you with a straight face that you need it to have it done as it is either recommended by the manufacturer or not having it done will damage your car. I went to a Mr. Lube to have my tires switched to my all-season from my winter tires. They were the only one open on a Sunday afternoon and I needed to have my tires switched as I was taking my car on a long drive and I did not want to drive with the winter tires as the weather was already warm. What do you know ? They said balancing the wheels are recommended every time the tires are switched which is not true. I was afraid they might do something bad to my car if I refused to have the balancing so I had it done. It just proved to me that these guys are really trained to skim as much money as they can from their customers. It does not matter which branch you go to. Skimming their customers is a company culture. So never again, Mr. Lube. If you continue doing this, you will eventually lose customers.

Mr. Lube Canada oil change

3/11/16
I went to the store 6811 Hastings st Burnaby BC I was told they didn't have the oil filter for my 2009 Ford escape and they didn't have the wipers that were being offered.This has happened to me before and I was wondering why doesn't the employee whose using the last filter report it to the mgr who can then order more...very frustrating.
I had to go to the store 1291 E H Hastings where the employee Rajan was really nice and when I explained what had happened he couldn't understand why the other store would run out of well used oil filters.He also had the wipers for my car.Much pleasant experience at this store than the other one that is closer to where I live.

Mr. Lube Canada 680 laval drive, oshawa

Mr. Lube
680 Laval Dr.
Oshawa in Walmart

Mr. Lube is great place for oil change and other services.
This guy " Shawn" works in Mr. Lube. He has a very big ego. He is delusional and has fixation on expensive vehicles.
He thinks since he serivces vehicles, the owners owe him more ! He will ask / lure the owners to get their vehicles to his house to do other servicing.

When the owners refuse, he will keep stalking the vehicles. Since, his own truck is very dirty, he is looking for another one, but he cannot afford one.
He is a chain smoker and his own black truck is full of smoke and cigarette butts. He should not be taking his kids in that truck.
First, it is bad for the health of the kids and second, it is illegal to smoke in the truck with the kids in the truck.
This guy smokes after every oil change (every half hour) and since, there are flammable materials nearby, there can be an explosion.
In the interest of public safety, he should be barred forever to work in Mr. Lube or any other oil changing facility.
He could be under the influence of alcohol while driving and may have a previous record..
Also, lot of items in the vehicles have been stolen, when he services the vehicles. Owners cannot do anything, since, they sign the release form before giving the vehicle to Mr. Lube, that Mr. Lube is not responsible for theft.
Please take suitable action, to stop smoking near Mr. Lube locations. Smokers should not be allowed to service vehicles. It is like smoking is banned near gas stations and while pumping gas. Marc / Rickkie the supervisors are chain smokers themselves and do not really care.
It is very dangerous. Before, there is a catastrophic explosion, these chain smokers must be let go and barred from working Mr. Lube locations.
Such, Chain smokers undermine the image of Mr. Lube.

Mr. Lube Canada damage to my car during an oil change

I went to the Mr Lube in Brampton at Hwy 10 and Ray Lawson to get a simple oil change. While there the technician broke the valve stem from my tire flattening it! When I called the manager explaining what happened and that I had to incur a cost to have the tire repaired I was told that it was my fault, I had a defective tire and that they would not take any responsibility. I should state my tires are new And the mechanic who repaired it stated the tire were fine, the technician used too much pressure on the valve stem. I have placed two calls to their head office with no reply (even though they state on the message that they return all calls in 2 days!). The service date was the Friday of the Thanksgiving weekend. Not impressed with their idea of customer service.

Mr. Lube Canada engine damage

Warning: Don't go to Mr. Lube to get oil changes done. Period. Oil change at a Mr. Lube - Less than 700 kilometres later, engine banging & oil light comes on. After having vehicle towed to a certified mechanic, photos confirm the oil filter not tightened. Engine needs to be replaced because you cannot run an engine out of oil & not incurred damage. No one is denying that the oil filter wasn't tightened, just that you don't damage an engine by running it out of oil. Really? Well $5, 500.00 later - Mr. Lube says - they feel bad, but nope - not going to make good. Not an apology, not an offer to reimburse for the faulty oil change, absolutely nothing. They feel that you can run an engine out of oil & it's okay. Now that is great service isn't it? I am telling everyone I know that there is no corporate intregity at Mr. Lube. Everyone makes mistakes, it happens, but you make it right when you do.

Mr. Lube Canada skid plate went missing

I went of an oil change and the skid plate went missing

Dundas and Neyagawa - Oakville

the manager at this location is extremely deceptive

when i insisted that i wanted to see the footage and i am fine if the vehicle came in without the plate

then all of a sudden the under carriage CCTV does not work

i am attaching the email that will tell a story and all my effort

i am also in the midst of contacting cbc

Hello Mr. J - as an introduction my name is Brian Jones and it is within my role to respond to customer complaints and compliments for a number of Mr. Lube stores operated by Everest Toronto Services. Your complaint has been brought to my attention, and I have discussed the issues with our Manager Amir Chamani.

The discussions about Video records has not been helpful. Our video systems are not an integral part of our business, and we do not refer to them often. In the case of your visit, the video camera that was positioned to view the work under your car was not functioning, so no record exists. We can neither prove nor disprove anything regards your service.

Discussions of video aside, the original conversation was your inquiry if your skid plate had been uninstalled and not reinstalled. Our Manager responded by having an inspection done at the store, and telling you no skid plate was discovered. While it occasionally occurs that a skid plate re-installation is mishandled, the part would be kept aside safely for the customer's return.

Mr. J, our Manager has no vested interest to mislead you. I understand you have come to believe our store lost your skid plate and wish there was evidence otherwise. Just as certainly, we believe no skid plate was lost at our store and have no reason to believe it was attached when the car was brought in. We do not feel it appropriate the assume responsibility in these circumstances.

With Best Regards;

Brian Jones

Hi
I just got home after from the mr. Lube
Amir has been misrepresenting from the get go. He indicated that he viewed the video and the vehicle came in without the skid plate (refer to the chain off email please)
Today he took it to the next level, he now states the under carriage camera doesn't work (how convenient and contradicts what he has told before)
He showed me a video from a camera that only records when motion is detected to the office upstairs .
This location has multiple other cameras, one exactly above the service bay.
Now he is changing his tone to who has burden of proof.
Please let me know what you make out of this.
I would appreciate a response; whatever that may be
Thank you

Mr. Lube Canada damaged my transmission

My experience was VERY NEGATIVE at this Mr. Lube location. I have been to other Mr. Lubes in the past and they have all provided quality service, so I have nothing against the chain. The manager at this Mr. Lube in particular treated me very unfairly and I am very dissatisfied. I went in for an oil change and the mechanic pushed me to change my transmission fluid as well. My car was only at 33 K, no where near needing a transmission fluid change (which I know now!), but trusting him I agreed to the service because he made it sound very urgent. As soon as I drove off the lot I felt that my car was not driving properly. The damage from the inadequate service they did on my transmission cost me $1400 to fix, on top of the original service of $340. Though I have provided the manager with ample evidence that it was his shop's fault, he refuses to reimburse me. I usually don't write reviews but I am hoping that by sharing my story I can save someone else from going through the same hassle and losing so much money and time.

The reason he refuses to reimburse you is because he sees through your lies and scams. You want him to pay for damages you caused. They get these things all the time and are not going to fall for it.

Calgary South Walmart. Incompetent. They installed the wrong weights on my wheels. Nearly all of them flew off on the highway. Employees unkempt and scruffy. Manager extremely rude. Maybe they should stick to oil changes; monkeys couldn't screw that up?

Mr. Lube Canada locked keys in car

My husband and I bought our car for an oil change-they locked our keys in the car-we were in the midst of ordering breakfast at Smitty's-my husband got a call to go there, leaving me eating alone and not knowing till later that they had locked our keys in the car. It took 30-40 mins and it ruined our morning. Furthermore, no compensation was given, we paid full price for the oil change. Unacceptable customer service.

Mr. Lube Canada shoddy workmanship; untrained staff

Dear Sir or Madam:
During the latter part of March 2015, I took over the ownership of a 2010 Chrysler Sebring sedan formerly owned by Garret Palmer.
The car had recently been serviced at the Mr. Lube #17 on 16th avenue in Calgary. The oil light reset was done according to the work order at 68513 km. The oil change light came on at 69461.

Living in Didsbury, I took the vehicle to my local Fountain Tire store to have the oil changed. This resulted in a bill for
$66.26 only to be told by Mr. Palmer that the oil had been changed last month. It is evident that the oil change light had not been reset properly as the work order indicated.

Furthermore, I discovered that the air filter case had been broken and this was not documented on the work order dated March 3, 2015. This means that one of your "technicians" damaged the case and did not report it. The work order states that the air filter "appears OK".

In addition, recently my daughter had her Chev Malibu serviced at this establishment, only to be contacted later that a "technician" had forgotten to replace her battery cover. Because of this oversight, I wonder what else might have been "forgotten".

I believe that the $10.00 gift certificate would not cover the errors done by your staff.
I will be contacting you in person to discuss these issues.

Mr. Lube Canada transmission fluid

I went to Mr Lube at the Westbrook Walmart in Calgary for an oil change and to put 2 new tires on. The goon there, Gary, never did anything to my car until I came back after 4 hours. I was then told I needed a new cabin filter, a new air filter, new transmission fluid and an oil change. I was held hostage by these jerks until I agreed to get everything done. A job that was supposed to cost less than $100 ended up costing $361. Their manger, after many complaints, said to me that they base their fluid changes based on the colour of the fluid, then he said they base it on mileage. When I told him that Honda had done this service, he wanted me to give him proof of this before he will refund my money. Also, my car has not been running the same sine they did all their "services". This service also took 6 hours of my time. The matter is pending and I will not let this go like this as they are a bunch of unethical, unprofessional people who take advantage of people.

I have worked in the Automotive field for many years... I make recommendations for fluid service based on mileage all the time... I do not take it personal if someone says "Not today" or "No Thank You"...

Based on what you have said, I am thinking they said they make recommendations on FILTER based on condition and Fluids based on mileage BUT you are the one that was present so I will take your word for it SOOOOO... Why didn't you just say NO and get on with your life.

As far as the car not running correctly after the Transmission service, you might want to check with the dealer since most Honda's take a special fluid for the transmission. All that would need to be done id the fluid would need to be replaced again.

Mr. Lube Canada rip off during oil change

I was ripped off for a oil change. Totally rude attitude and inexperienced workers make the oil change an ordeal. With out my consent they drained my antifreeze viper liquid with wash liquid. This endangered my life on highway as the windshield froze with the soap. When I went and complained the workers were rude to me and they told me they expected customers to change oil every 2 weeks. Why would they do this disservice when somebody changes oil end of September. It gets cold shortly after that. Is this in the interest of customers? What is the point of draining out the existing antifreeze viper liquid. I request all the sane people to never deal with these criminals. They deserve to be in jail. I'm willing to join a group of people to sue this company.

Mr. Lube Canada overcharging

Beware! These guys overprice and suckered me into buying a filter claiming it will save on fuel. Here's the problem: they charged me 85$ plus tax and I called another mr lube in kitchener on weber st, and they quoted the exact same filter for about 35$ installed.
So I email, the general manager to explain this drastic price difference and of course no response. And secondly, these guys push to sell by saying it will save on fuel economy but doing a little research says that gasoline engines don't get improved gas mileage for a new air filter, it's the carbourated engines that benefit,

Nevertheless, I know i'm never going to a mr lube again, and telling everyone I know how big of a scam these guys operate.

Mr. Lube Canada ripped off, bad service

My son followed me down for an oil change on a 2002 F150. The tech came out and we requested the $44.99 standard oil change. I left and he came back with a bill for $184.00 bill. He is an 18 year old student and they up sold him to a premium $59.99 oil upgrade and a $7.00 filter upgrade. Then they told him that the oil filter and fuel filter look original. $92.00 for a fuel filter. I changed it less than 10, 000 KM ago. The truck has 160K and gets serviced regularly.
I lost it and went back. They would not admit that anything was done wrong.
I'm so pissed that they ripped off a kid.
I will never go back except to meet the Manager. That won't be a good sight.

Mr. Lube Canada service

I normally service my cars at Mr.Lube. Mr.Lube has 3 lots and people wait with their cars in Queue and they service First come First serve basis Lot by Lot. My second last service I was waiting in Bay # 1, when Station Manager came and asked to shift to Bay # 3 (I was not choosing that Line, as there was an RV doing service inside). Assuming that RV will finish soon, I obeyed his instruction. I waited there for about 1.30 hours, and 2 sets of cars gone inside from Line 1 and 2. Now let me talk about my last time experience. I was waiting in Bay # 3 behind 2 cars and after 40 min I reach first. Unfortunately, Bay 1 and 2 got delayed. The same Manger came to me and asked to move behind and wait behind 3 cars, so that they can bring the other cars inside. I asked him, what about last time I was waiting here for long and you never showed any consideration to me. He told me, this is our rule, First come First serve... But truth is that, its not... If its First come First Serve, they should be asking us to wait in 1 queue and take cars to any Bay when the bay is free, like other service centres do.. We are visiting Lube express to get our service done fast, and who has time to spend the whole day there.. if the Manage might have made request telling the problem he faced in Bay 1 and 2, I might have moved my car without any argument. Here he told its there rule... Anyway, I have taken my car to Eastside Doge and done my service for $55 where Mr.Lube might have charged more... I took only 30 min total in Eastside and they told me they are doing the same way Mr.Lube is doing is you bring your car to Express service lane... Mr.Lube is not going to loose anything if I stopped servicing there, but I can stop few of my friends who is doing service at Mr.Lube.

I went to this Mr Lube for "approved warranty service" on my 2010 Smart Car.
They changed the oil, but didn't check the tires, or fill the fluids as they state in their advertising.
They DIDN'T know how to reset the service required indicator.
I still had to pay the full price of $99 !
I was told to come back & someone would do it.
Upon my return, the individual who supposedly knew how, wasnt there.
No one ever contacted me to follow up
I complained to the owner by telephone & months later still haven't received any service to the indicator or a partial refund on the services NOT performed !
AVOID this Mr. Lube !

Mr. Lube Canada beware of lesage group owned mr. lube in ontario, newmarket

Beware of Lesage Group owned Mr. Lube in Ontario, Newmarket.

Just wanted to share a bad experience with the Lesage Group owned Mr. Lube in Newmarket, Ontario.

My wife went in for the oil change just before our road trip from Toronto to Montreal at this location. Just a basic oil change package.

The very next day on our drive to Montreal near Brockville there was a rattling sound under the car, and very soon afterwards the low oil light signal started to come on. I took exit at Brockville and headed straight at the "PartSource" right off the exit. Long story short with Paul's (gentleman working at PartSource) help we found the oil pan drain plug was missing. (discovered as soon as we tried to put a quart in as after seeing the dipstick hardly showing any oil level, and the oil gushed right out from the bottom of the oil pan where the plug is supposed to go). When I told Paul that the last thing we did was the oil change at Mr. Lube, that was a very proximate cause that he could think of and I agree. The operator working on the oil change may have screwed that plug in wrong or not tightened properly as that is not supposed to come off.

Upon our return, I went in with my wife to Mr. Lube owned by the Lesage Group at the Newmarket and talked to Ergun Tekin (Senior Manager and according to him the owner of that Franchise). I thought it could have been a one-time operator error and it would be better if some MAnager knew about this so it does not happen to me again or anyone else. All I got was a defensive argument and irritable responses and that anything can happen after I drive out. There was no acknowledgment of wrongdoing whatsoever, other than trying to refund me the money I paid at PartSource for the quarts of oil and a new drain plug the total of which came to 22CAD. He was trying to get rid of me.

I did not take the money, and told him if money-back is what I had come for, then I should ideally get the full refund for the oil change Mr. Lube charged me and the amount to get my engine checked out, since I was driving with no oil for sometime and my car had shuddered when I came to the stop light just before driving in to PartSource.

He told me off kinda, and said I can do whatever I want. I did not even see him making an attempt to find out what time I had come in for the oilchange, so he could follow up with whoever was the operator at that time. I am not returning back to that store again for sure. It was not the money that I wanted more than to see him trusting the event that had taken place and showing a level of care even if he did not have to admit a direct responsibility for what had happened and I did not see that.

Mr. Lube Canada fraudulent sales practices

My complaint is somewhat generic, given that many businesses and individuals working in the "quick-oil change and car maintenance industry" have reputations for "milking" the customer and manipulating people who have little knowledge of automobiles. I have a friend who worked for this company years back and even he spoke of more than one story when he himself did extra but needless work on a car simply because the customer didn't know any better. Nevertheless, I will make my complaint in the hopes of further increasing the awareness off the practices of SOME of the workers who change oil and other car fluids for a living. This was not decent and/or honest business and they can be sure that they've lost my patronage forever. In this case, an employee from Mr Lube, A Canadian based car service company, is the culprit. This "technician" certainly had a way with words; it's too bad for him that I'm the strong and silent type. To put it bluntly, all I wanted...all I needed...was an oil change. However, the guy who performed the oil change was quite assertive when it came to other fluid changes that, in his opinion, were "urgently" in need of being done. I turned his offer down simply because as I had gotten the work done on the particular fluids he was so dead-set on replacing just a month earlier. I don't money in the hundred dollar range that easily. I gave him the benefit of the doubt though, and returned to the business which had changed out the fluids in question, my transmission and engine coolant fluids. In fact, this guy told me that I should do that if I wasn't going to let him do the work in the name of Mr Lube. Well, I'll give him credit for saying that I guess...

I'll admit that I'm not a backyard mechanic; I know little beyond the basic principles of automobiles but something seemed fishy and I was going to find out.

It took it to the shop being accused of the bad workmanship and it took a half an hour to: heed my complaint, bring my car into the shop and do the testing. Turns out that both fluids were fine, in great condition actually and the man I spoke too was a bit embarrassed for both of us. Why? Because Mr. Man from Mr Lube had either tried to trick me or had no idea what he was talking about. I'm very thankful that I decided to go back instead of having him do the job. THERE WAS NO JOB TO DO. MR LUBE HAD WASTED MY TIME, THEN I WENT AND WASTED CANADIAN TIRES TIME, FOR NO GOOD REASON. Basically, the technician from Mr Lube told me that my transmission fluid was nasty because of a few bubbles. Bubbles happen people, the fluid wasn't in tip-top shape but it was still acceptable. And who knows, maybe he stirred it around in the reservoir a little bit? I wouldn't put it past him but that's just speculation and nothing more. What really got me though was how he spoke of my cars engine coolant as being terribly dirty and that there was over 3000 dollars worth of engine parts at risk. He said that it was brown and dirty when it should of been a nice florescent green. Turns out he was wrong; the coolants colour and condition had changed very little, if at all, since the techs at Canadian Tire added it to the reservoir. IT WAS SUPPOSE TO LOOK THAT WAY. To sum it up, the person who changed my oil had either lied to me straight-up or was not trained/educated enough to know that there's more than one engine coolant in common existence. Allow me to paraphrase, he said something like "your engine coolant should look fluorescent green so it must be real dirty and nasty, your engines at risk, it'll only take me twenty minutes to replace, blah blah blah." Whether he was trying to put one over on me or he was just ignorant and inexperienced, I will not be going back. This experience was an eye-opener for me. By writing this, I don't mean to slander an entire corporation, that's not my intent. Having said that, my intention was to present the facts and that's what I did; none of the fluids required changing and I did not have to spend over 100 dollars in maintenance costs. This guy worked for a Mr Lube franchise and it's not the only incident I've heard of regarding this company

P.S. Did I mention that he was a supervisor?
