Friendly, with straightforward pricing... unlike some shops in the neighborhood 🤔

Came in to get front light replaced and was given amazing service! They didn’t have my exact bulb, but installed it for free once I came back with the right bulb. Will recommend for any services!

I love this place. Been going to them for years for my oil change in my Prius. Quick service.

We have been fans of Groovy for years. They are consistently friendly, honest and accountable. But Mark has exceeded all expectations recently by providing outstanding service in time to make a cross country drive followed by clearing a roadblock to a state inspection. BIG Thanks to Mark and all at Groovy!

I came in for an oil change and had such a good experience, I don’t know if I’ll go anywhere else again! They’ve been in Austin for a long time, which I love. All customers get unlimited tire pressure and fluids checks/top ups!

The team at Groovy Lube was fast and friendly. I went in for an oil change on my high mileage VW. They were upfront about their (very fair) pricing, offered recommendations without trying to upsell, and got me back to enjoying my day off in about 30 minutes. I will absolutely be a return customer.

Went for last minute state inspection and the inspector was so nice even though I showed up right before closing. The two female staff were also very sweet! L

I came in and it turns out the previous shop I went to for an oil changed had rounded the drain plug. Groovy extracted plug and replaced it. They could’ve charged me a lot to do that but they only billed me for the cost of the plug (like $4) on top of the oil change.

I pulled a jerk move and showed up 30 minutes before closing. They knocked out my oil change without a single sigh, and had me out the door before I could apologize. Always great service.

Quick service , staff was beyond friendly and explained everything I needed!

Excellent and efficient service. Supports women working in the car maintenance field.

I love this place. Since I moved to Austin six years ago this is the only place I come. I love the level of service, speed of service, that you can stay in your car OR wait in the awesome lounge area. I love that fluid top offs come with every oil change and that you can bring your car back in between changes for top offs. But what I love the most is that they employ just as many females as males and that the women aren’t just “behind the counter.” They’re changing oil, checking pressure, etc etc. Wouldn’t get an oil change anywhere else! PS if you come at 8 a.m. there’s always almost no wait whatsoever.

It’s such a pleasant experience. Staff are very friendly and it seems they know what they are doing and genuinely want to do a good job. It took them less than half an hour to get the state inspection done. It’s a first come first serve basis; I went around 9 and there was no one there so it was fast. I would come back!

Ray and Cody did a great job on my car. They did a quick inspection. Overall 10/10 for customer service.

Such an incredible spot for student car maintenance. Easy to talk to, student discounts on already affordable prices, kind staff… love this spot on Guadalupe! John is a great manager.

The lady with the red hair was very rude to me and very disrespectful to others around her.

The owner in his response tried to call me out by identifying my truck. The only thing I had wrong was a 10 dollar price difference. My windshield was smeared with bugs after the oil change. As shown in the picture. Full service huh. I watched the girl climbing in my engine and the airquote hard working guy told me they were having trouble getting the oil filter off. Only thing I did was wait for hours which clearly the creepy owner watched on video. And the lie is that I was presented a price. That is a bald faced lie. Didn’t happen until the end. Which is no surprise because that’s what places like this do. This place is a rip off. I managed to get charged 292 dollars for a simple oil change. Never have I ever even heard of such a thing. With only three cars in front of mine I still had to wait two hours! They hardly cleaned the windshield. It was a half hearted attempt at best. It’s not like you get a superior service. Just a ridiculous markup. Literally 150 dollars over my normal Mobil One oil change. And I watched one of the guys try to sell an engine flush to a brand new jeep. What a joke.

This is a 5 star establishment! I have used them several times and always give me a professional service at a good price and I can support a local business

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING AMAZING! I went in to get an oil change because my vehicle decided it wanted to tell me to get an oil change. This man, Bert, showed me that my vehicle was only showing it needed an oil change because of the date set and I had 5000 more miles to go before I needed one. Nothing like honest mechanics. I’m going here forever, simply for that

Love Groovy! Everyone is always nice, knowledgeable and thorough. Will be back and recommend to all my friends and family.

Went in for an oil change - they were efficient, fast, and friendly! They didn't try to upsell me and the price was very reasonable. Really fantastic place with a positive vibe, definitely my go-to oil spot from here on out! Thanks, guys!

Groovy Lube always provides stellar service, and it's generally very speedy. I've been coming here for years and I've never been disappointed. Great knowledgeable staff, and the boss is awesome. No complaints whatsoever

These folks always do a good job for me. They get you in and out pretty quick and go out of the way to provide some amenity/courtesy services to leave your vehicle “better than they found it.”

This was my first oil change since moving to Austin and I will definitely be back. Very first time I’ve had a woman/female passing/ non-binary team working on my car! They were all so nice, offered education, and made recommendations as to not rip me off. I watched as one worker saved a bug, and another worker offer patient guidance to another learning. Easily, the most wholesome and trusting car service I’ve ever received. Highly recommend!
