Customer Service Advisor (Former Employee), KansasCity, MO – May 13, 2013
Pros: free oil changes
Cons: get treated like dirt
Changed filters ( Air, Oil, Fuel) and Fluids ( Oil, A/C, Trans, Coolant). I learned a great deal about upkeep on cars and some trouble shooting methods. I loved the job but the management is running it into the ground fast. Prices go up every nov. and change inbetween. No one seems to know what they are doing and the lazy, sociable works get promoted – more... over the quilified. – less

South Lubes, Inc. is not a very good company to work for. They are all sales oriented and basicallly are asking you to screw over your customers to sale them services and products that are not needed. Upper management is very unprofessional!
its a good place to start but not to make a career

Once again, this job consists of selling extra add on to regular oil changes. Which in this economy, is very difficult. But I was given the opprotunity to climb the "corporate ladder" and worked as a assistant manager. I learned so much more in my career training skills to be given the opprotunity.
