I went to East Gate recently to get an oil change, and a while before that for a car wash. There was no wait whatsoever for the ""lube"" section of the building during the oil change, and the oil change itself took less than 15 minutes. When I went for the car wash, the wait was similar, as it was on a nice, sunny day and there was a wait of a few cars. The car wash was very good, and I only got the basic wash - they still buffed the car and vacuumed the inside, leaving my car spotless. Additionally, they have many levels of car wash AND oil change - extra options for rust inhibitor, etc. on the car wash, and options for premium oil for cars with high mileage. The best thing is, the oil change comes with a free car wash, which is a pretty good deal ($33 total for the basic oil change, plus the basic car wash for free).
Pros: Speed, comfort of waiting area
Cons: Hard to find/get to off road, with all of New Jersey's confusing turning rules
