| - Hokay! I know this is a Wal-Mart and I'm giving it a four stars, but I promise this was actually a four star visit! Alright, you caught me.. this isn't for the actual store, it's for the Tire & Lube service they offer at this location.
After my horrific experience (yet I'm still not sure I want to call it that) with Jim Click in Tucson, I still needed to get an oil change. Now, instead of 3,000 miles overdue, I was 3,229 miles overdue. Ha. Alright, I knew this Wal-Mart provided car care stuff whereas the one closer to my home (the Estrella Pkwy. location) does not. I don't really like this Wal-Mart's actual store as its just average and it seems to always be overcrowded.
Anyways, I pull up and wait for someone to come over. I had been waiting no longer than two minutes when a young man (I didn't get his name the entire time--ahh!) came up and asked if I needed anything. I explained my situation and what I needed and he asked if I knew about their packages. I told him I didn't and he told me about their Standard Package (oil change, tire pressure check, engine check, wiper blade check, etc.) I didn't need to here anymore; I told him I'll take that one and he took down my information. He was really friendly and told me it'd be about 30 minutes because they were "kinda busy today."
Thirty minutes to wait is nothing considering I'd driven to Tucson (two hours away from my home) just to be told I wouldn't be helped (see review for Jim Click). I walked around the store and finished up some Christmas and even a little grocery shopping. I was getting worried that I'd be done before my car was serviced, but at about 25 minutes, a page came over that my car was done. I was in line paying and the lines, with it being a couple of days til' Christmas, were insane.
I took my cart full of "Dang it...I shopped while hungry again!" groceries to the Automotive Department and paid for the service. He helped me take my cart out the door and then I left. Very good, in my opinion, for a Wal-Mart.
Minus one star because I had to make two transactions (one for groceries because I had a bunch of them and one for the car service), but with a handful of items you can check out there.
