Davisville Express Lube provides oil changes, radiator/transmission flushing, and other services for your automobile. They have had $7 off coupons in the California Aggie as well a coupon in the Green Machine, so look for discounts. "Come for the coupon but return for the fast, honest service." As of 2008, their full service oil change was listed at $36.99 ($31.99 with the coupon). Davisville now has a mechanic (Ryan James-ASE Cert.) They do tune-ups, brake, and mechanical work. Air conditioner service is also now available.**Locally Owned**

They have added name-brand tires to their line up of services. They stock or will order almost all brands—Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Dunlop, Riken, Kumho, Goodrich, and many more at competitive prices. (They will match a competitor's price.) They mount and balance the tires and also offer free tire rotations and flat repair for the life of the tires when you buy two or more tires.

All year long, they offer a free car wash with an oil change. An added bonus—Starbucks is located next door.

Very clean inside and Ron, one of the co-owners, was very helpful and professional. —BrettCoder

2006-03-07 11:46:14   excellent —GregoryChang

2006-03-07 11:47:15   pleasant, efficient, clean and modern waiting room. Highly recommended —GregoryChang

2006-06-11 18:41:36   did a coolant flush, great and cheap —HaiYu

2006-09-19 02:31:44   The first and last time I was here for an oil change, the service was slow. There was only one car in each of the two bays (one of which was mine) and it took at least 30 minutes. And when they were finished, they left streaks of motor in three different places on the body of my car. I had to go into their bathroom to get paper towels to wipe it all off. —JaneNguyen

For the record...When Jane wrote this she had not been to our shop in about a year..I checked our records. In addition, if you look at her write-up history...she wrote this and minutes later wrote a glowing report on a competitor. You decide??- Ron-owner

2006-09-29 23:54:41   I went today for an oil change. I went for the high-end $60 oil change that included full synthetic oil and filter, nitrogen in the tires, and a free car wash. Two for two of the other people were suggested to change their air filter, but I was told everything was OK (I replaced the air filter an hour beforehand). The service didn't take too long considering the hand car wash and there was no appointment necessary. —JustinCummins

2006-11-02 23:28:29   We are a locally owned and operated business. We've got a great staff who are knowledgeable, responsive to our customers and efficient. No appointments are necessary and our customer service area is very clean and comfortable. Se habla espanol tambien!

2006-11-22 11:52:38   This place rocks!!! They got me in/out on the cheap without that pressure to buy any extra crap I didnt really want. Having just moved here, I gotta say its nice to have these guys local because now I dont have to make that trip over the causeway and back. Thanks!!! —RossBenitti

2007-03-09 16:32:06   Excellent, quick, and VERY friendly! They even offer student discounts. —AliPezeshkpour

2007-05-05 00:04:03   Our extremely popular Free Car Wash with Oil Change is back for the summer season. This is a hand car wash performed by some great local guys. The hours vary a bit but are typically 10-5 M-Sat & weather dependant. We'd like our guys to wash lots of cars this summer so check it out! Thanks—Tom Corcoran, Owner —ThomasCorcoran

2007-05-21 14:04:37   We have taken our two cars to Davisville several times and have been extremely happy with their services. Although we never wait for long (20 minutes max), the waiting room is clean, comfortable and there is a Starbucks on the same street! The people there are very knowledgeable, efficient and courteous. Last time we took a car there, Roger (the manager), noticed differential fluid leakage and recommended we take the car to our Toyota dealer. The dealer found the leak and fixed it (the car is still under warranty)....thanks, Roger! We highly recommend Davisville Express Lube! —Naomi

2007-05-30 18:52:38   kind of expensive in my opinion, using the same type of oil they use and buying your own oil filter would only cost 15 bucks at most and they charge an extra 15 bucks for Techron which only cost 6 bucks to buy at other stores. for the prices they charge they could at least use higher quality oil and you dont even get a discount for bringing in you own oil, shows you how much their oil is worth. —Billy

2007-07-16 17:01:21   I would definitely recommend this place for oil changes. I used to go to Speedee, but noticed they kept trying to tack-on (questionable) repairs; you can always find *something* to repair on an older car. I've been getting oil changes with them for over a year now and never had this issue with Davisville ... two thumbs up. —VladLoscutoff

2007-07-21 19:53:14   i usually go to speedee to get my oil changed. However i was driving down covell and i forgot where that do it yourself carwash was. Then i noticed a sign for Davisville Express Lube that said free car wash with oil change. Since i was going to get my oil changed this week i thought why not? Funny thing is i noticed that the usual mechanic i have had at speedee now works for this place. Interesting. Both places are pretty similar. Speedy tops off more stuff for free, but this place has the modern waiting room and the free carwash. They are both about the same price its a toss up. —MattHh

2007-07-29 13:39:44   This place was great. The waiting room is clean and they didn't try to sell me anything extra (except windshield wipers, which I actually do need). There was no wait - I drove right in and it only took about 15 minutes, including a window cleaning. Unfortunately they no longer offer the car wash (there was a sign about Davis city regulations so this might be temporary). There's also a $5 coupon on their website. —rachelss

2007-09-04 16:50:56   Clean, very fast, very polite. I had just driven to Davis from Florida and wanted an oil change...they didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need and the experience was very pleasant. Will go again. —CStevens

2007-09-27 09:37:20   I have gone to Davisville Lube several times. I have always received great service. The prices are excellent, the staff accomodating to your needs, the place is clean and comfortable. The owners are great and the manager Roger is awesome. If you have a problem, go to him. —Debbi

2007-11-09 19:04:26   I used to go to speedy cause it was close to my house, but they always left my car dirty and wouldn't vacuum, clean my windows or top stuff off like their invoice said. And they were always trying to get me to replace things unecessarily. Davisville lube has been fast every time I have come in and they are not more expensive. Plus the mechanics are honest, friendly and not sleezy which is a big plus. Don't go to speedy, go to davisville. —cfm

2007-12-30 10:46:57   This is the only place in town that will perform an oil change for my VW Golf diesel with in-house oil (Chevron Delo). They always have it in stock. Every other place either does not do diesel oil changes, I have to bring my own oil, or they have to special order the oil. I have had the typical "suggested maintenance" and the riduculous "come back in 3,000 miles" BS but they are not hard sell like some other places. I highly recommend them. —Rsronce

2008-02-10 12:22:48   I would like to say good luck to the new manager of Davisville Express Lube. Miguel. This is a very good shop and they do excellent work. I would like to thank all the customers over the past two years who I have had the pleasure of serving. Thank you all so much. And good luck to the new manager and team. —roger

2008-02-11 15:09:17   I really like the quality of work done here. The staff does a good job and Jacob provided me with fantastic customer care. I go here and only here and get package #3 whenever my car needs servicing. :) —EmilyBlake

2008-03-17 13:50:12   Pricing and facilities are well thought out although you can tell that they need to have better training standards for better consistancy throughout their employee base. They all seem to do things differently each time. If I dont stand over them there is usually oil spilled or smeared somewhere on the car. It would be nice if you could really enjoy the waiting area without having to be involved in making sure your car wasn't getting oil spilled on it. All being said, the long time employees do a decent job getting things done. —MikeDimone

2008-06-13 10:32:30   Mike- Ron here one of the owners of Davisville Express Lube. Thanks so much for your feedback. Finding top notch employees is one of the most difficult aspects of running a small business. You are absolutely correct- our long time employees are terrific!

We did have a few issues with a couple of our new hires but I'm happy to report that we have taken corrective action. —RonLautzenheiser

FREE CAR WASH with Oil Change

Is back in Action for the Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —RonLautzenheiser

2008-07-19 13:12:07   Got my oil changed here about a month ago. Service was quick and honest. I was asked if I wanted a new air filter and shown how dirty the old one was, so I agreed, and the cost was only a few dollars more than if I'd bought one and done it myself. Other than that (which was a legitimate suggestion) I agree with the comments above that they're not too aggressive about trying to upsell you, which made for a pleasant experience. —OscarSabino

2008-07-24 21:21:07   Excellent, polite, low-pressure service—and an unusually good assortment of reading material in the waiting area. —DavidRobinson

2008-09-04 15:08:03   How much is it for just a standard oil change? —patrick82

2008-09-11 10:31:56   I couldn't find prices anywhere, so drove by and found that the full service oil change was listed at $39.99 ($34.99 with the coupon). I had a coupon for a $20 oil change somewhere else, so I went there instead. No car wash at the place I went, though. —dhsandler

2008-09-11 11:33:09   thank you very much for the info. —patrick82

2008-09-11 17:20:03   Just a quick note: Our oil change base price is $33.99. We have a $5 Off coupon on our web site www.davislube.com and we are in the Green Machine coupone book as well. We also offer a FREE CAR WASH with the oil change (or other service).
NEW CAR WASH INFO:
Davisville has established a relationship with Planet Wash (Lake&Covell...behind Circle K) a new high tech-eco friendly touchless wash in Davis. We provide you with a code to get your vehicle washed at your convience.

Ron-one of the owners —RonLautzenheiser

2008-09-11 17:25:40   Price info: We recently recieved a rather substantial price increase from our oil supplier (CHEVRON). So we are considering a price increase unfortunately. I'll keep everyone posted when we make a decision.
R-owner —RonLautzenheiser

2008-09-11 17:29:11   I don't know how to edit the price listed at the top of our page?? Can someone fix the price listed. 39.99 is not correct...it is 33.99..thanks —RonLautzenheiser

2008-09-12 08:29:01   Evan-Thanks...got it! —RonLautzenheiser

2008-09-21 14:29:16   Because of a substantial increase in pricing from our supplier (Chevron) we were forced to raise the base price on our oil change from 33.99 to 36.99 Ron-owner —RonLautzenheiser

2008-11-25 15:26:16   Fast and friendly. I was impressed. And the free car wash is from Planet Wash, too, not just their employees doing a slap-dash car wash after they change your oil. :) (You have 10 days to redeem the car wash to boot, which is great for me, since I'm traveling for Thanksgiving this week.) Definitely recommended. —RobertM525

2009-01-09 10:38:17   Great experience. I brought my G35 for service. Service was done quickly with a recommendation of air filter replacement. (it was a reasonable offer). Nice waiting room. It was my first time here. Will be back again. —HaiyongLi

2009-03-18 16:48:18   These guys are great. ALL of the people who work here are friendly and honest (and I've worked with about four or five of them). Ryan, the mechanic, gave me a half hour off labor because the part I had to pay for was so expensive, and he fixed my tail light at no extra cost. And I've noticed that whenever they're recommending that people get a particular service done, they tell them to go home and check their records to see if it's been done recently. That is admirable. This is a small, locally owned business worth supporting! —jsogul

2009-04-21 23:04:25   I take my car here for oil changes and it's great! The service is fast and competitively priced, plus the wash your windows and vacuum your car! Last time I went the mechanic suggested I have the transmission fluid changed; he told me how much it would be to change it there, but there was no pressure to have it done right then. This was great because I've been semi-bullied into car services I probably didn't even need at other repair places. The waiting room is really clean and comfortable. HIGHLY recommended!!! —CParker

2009-05-14 18:55:12   These guys are great. First time I've been there. Very courteous, and I have to say, patient, as I asked a lot of questions, and the person helping me answered all of my questions. I've worked on cars some in the past, and I feel these guys are honest, and do a good job. They took the time to look over everything and do a thorough job. Highly recommended. Oh- and very comfy waiting room, super clean, professional, excellent. —KeithJose

2009-05-27 12:03:41   ****************TIRES TIRES TIRES TIRES********************************

Hi-
Ron here, one of the owners. Just wanted to let everyone know that we have added TIRES to our line-up of services. We carry almost all major brands: Michelin, GoodYear, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Firestone, BFGoodrich, Dunlop, General, Riken, Kumho, and more. We mount and balance the tires. When you purchase 2 or more tires we include FREE TIRE ROTATIONS and FREE FLAT REPAIR (life of the tires).

We have competitive prices and great fast service!! —RonLautzenheiser

2009-05-27 12:08:13   We also, as always, offer a FREE CAR WASH with your service- Oil Change, Tires, Mechanical-

This is year round and the Wash is done by PLANET WASH our environmentally friendly -H2o recycle, reverse osmosis-enviro friendly soaps-

2009-06-29 13:41:14   The service is great. I enjoyed the free car wash and the vacuum of the interior of my car. They never forced other services on me but would just simply recommend them. I thought that the price was a bit much compared to what I'm used to but the great service and car wash makes up for it. —FlowerCindy

2009-08-19 15:54:00   I was at Davisville Lube about 3 weeks ago..they took forever! the bathroom was repulsive! my car leaked oil and i had to go to speedy's shop to get it cleaned up and my oil top off! ( it was a half a quart low after I had it changed)The manager was trying to sell me everything under the sun and I over heard a employee saying "he got ripped off on his pay check and they were paying him under the table" I could tell he was upset! I was appalled! I will "NEVER" go there again! The poor guy looked like he needed the money, I felt like paying him myself! —MikeWhitmier

Ron- The owner here. After a review of our computer record....we show no roecord of a Mike Whitmier ever having his vehicle serviced at Davisville.

2009-08-26 08:13:27   This is Ron- one of the owners of Davisville. I am writing in response to the post written by Mike Whitmier on the 19th of August. If one were to read our posts going back to the begining of our wiki page (2006) one would be hard pressed to find a negative comment on Davisville. I find it "interesting" that Mike had such an awful experience.

For the record.... Oh- and very comfy waiting room, super clean, professional, excellent. —KeithJose 2009-05-14

2009-09-01 10:26:42   I can't get the website to work. Is it just me? —BrookeB

2009-09-02 07:51:18   Sorry about the web site. We are in the process of redoing the site. Davislube.com should be up soon. In the mean time use Davislube.net

Cheers
R —RonLautzenheiser

2009-09-02 22:25:14   I normally avoid "lube" places, having had bad experiences with Jiffy Lube long ago. But I thought I'd give this place a try, since (I think) they are an independent outfit. I was in and out quickly. All the employees I saw were polite and professional. They didn't try to pressure me into getting a more expensive service or try to claim that I needed service that I didn't. What more could I ask for? I'll be back there for my next oil change. —CovertProfessor

2009-11-03 13:50:44   I came in for an oil change in my aging, ailing car and they were great. Friendly, fast service. I'll be back. —ZeldaKPotsdam

2009-11-09 17:04:27   I went here for the first time after browsing through Daviswiki for oil change places and seeing that Davisville had received the best reviews. I was not disappointed. It was right before closing when I arrived, but they still serviced my car and did an excellent job even though it took them until past closing time. They did forgot to turn the indicator light off, but it was simple enough to bring it back, and there was no additional charge for the visit. My second experience was just as good. Fast service, nice waiting room, staff is helpful, informative, and not pushy. —cmwhit

2010-02-18 22:39:05   I POSTED THE COMMENT (BEHIND THE SCENES) JUST TOO INFORM PEOPLE OF WHAT HAPPEN TO ME AS A EMPLOYEE NOT TO SLAM THE SERVICE OF THE SHOP. ALL I DID IS TELL MY EXPERIENCE LIKE IT SAYS TO DO ABOVE! EVERYTHING I SAID IS TRUE! IF IT WERE NOT THERE WOULD BE NO REASON TO DELETE IT OR FOR ME TO WRITE ON YOUR PAGE...I DID CALL THE SHOP BEFORE I POSTED IT AND GOT NO RESPONCE!!THEN I POSTED A NOTE ON HERE FOR RON TO GET A HOLD OF ME (THAT WAS DELETED AS WELL) BEFORE I POSTED WHAT HAPPEN.... AGAIN TRYING TO HANDLE THE MATTER WITHOUT MAKING A BIG DEAL. IF THERE IS A WAY TO POST AUDIO ON HERE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW SO I COULD SHOW YOU ALL THE PROOF! I DONT NORMALLY POST ON WIKI BECAUSE EVERY BUSINESS IN DAVIS I HAVE GONE TO I HAVE HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE AT. IF I HAD RECEIVED A W2 WITH THE CORRECT INFORMATION I WOULD NEVER HAVE COMMENTED ON THE PAGE. ALL I WANT IS TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED (AGAIN NOTICED I NEVER SLAMMED THE SERVICES PERFORMED AT THE SHOP IN ANY WAY!) I STATED ON THE LAST POST THAT IT WOULD GET DELETED..LIKE THIS ONE WILL WHICH MAKES THE PAGE A PLACE FOR GOOD COMMENTS ONLY DUE TO THE EDITING! THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS IN RESPONCE AS WELL! I WILL CERTAINLY HANDLE THE MATTER IN A DIFFERENT WAY. I WROTE THE LAST POST IN 5 MINUTES OUT OF ANGER AND WONT DO IT AGAIN! —ANOTHERRIPPEDOFFEMPLOYEE2
