Valvoline Instant Oil Change

Charged me $ 90 for 5 quarts of synthetic oil. Twice as much as a dealer charges, and when they tell you the price it’s too late and they already drained out your old oil. I didn’t bother asking before because who would think that it $ 90 for an oil change that I’ve had the same kind done at many other places for half the cost. Would not go back again, and recommend other people look elsewhere for their oil change needs

One of my life’s biggest dreads is waiting in some dirty waiting room awkwardly with other people while i wish that one person would turn off the sound on their on their phone. I’ve avoided this for a little while by bringing my car to a place where I have somewhere I can go close by while my car it’s being worked on. But even that can get extremely boring. I drive by this place all the time and noticed the words «instant oil change» with the cars just lined up cruising in and out. I was intrigued. Most importantly, the building didn’t look like it had the awkward waiting room.
I cruised on down to get my oil change today and I couldn’t have had a better experience. The employees were SUPER friendly and thorough and explained everything. They didn’t try to up sell me at all, only made a few suggestions on things I should consider getting done in the near future. They did a complete inspection, and called out everything as they were doing it to make sure everything was done properly. I was in and out in about 20 minutes and didn’t even have to leave my car. I am definitely going to make this place my regular stop for oil changes. It is slightly more expensive than some other places, but my time and excellent customer service are worth more to me than a few dollars.

I’ve had issues with Valvoline in the past (2009). 2009 was the last time I went to Valvoline. This time (March 2014) I was too lazy to drive to the quick place I normally go to and I didn’t have time to go to my repair place. I have had no issues so far. I have a 1997 Honda Accord with 315k miles. I got an oil change and that’s it, nothing special, they drained the oil and put oil back in. So far it’s stayed in the engine (better than last time). It was expensive $ 40 for just and oil change. I probably won’t go back because of the price.

Overpriced oil change but they’re very visible and convenient for me. I get my Hyundai serviced here every 5−6k miles. They do a fair job in making you feel like valued customer, the location in Farmington offers coffee in the waiting room. This location wants you to wait in your car while you’re serviced.
I think you can get equivalent service elsewhere for half the cost but I have coupons here. Don’t go here and pay retail, not worth it.
I will say they seem honest and won’t try to oversell you. They will tell you what they think you need but their recommendations are always a little too conservative. You do NOT need a change every 4k miles with synthetic blends.

I got my oil change here a few times, what can I say they are fast and they get it done. Don’t get me wrong, they love to sell you on stuff that may not need, just make sure you know what your car needs, not just what a computer tells them to sell you. I know they are just doing their jobs, but you got to understand they make their money on not just the oil change but the other services like Radiator flushes and Transmission fluid changes. A/​C recharge.etc.

They almost ruined my car. My car leaked oil for like a week after I got an oil change here and I went some place else and turns out they forgot to do something which resulted in the oil funneling out of my car. I will never go back. I’d rather go to Anthony’s Service Station down the road where they have competent people doing oil changes.

Very fast service. Honest maintenance suggestions. And really respectful staff

I may have paid a little more for services rendered here than I would have at my local mechanic (which included an oil change, air filter, flushing of cooling and power steering systems, a few other assorted odds and ends,) but the friendly, courteous, completely non-​pushy but very informed staff made it worth the experience. Very kind people at this location. The gentlemen I dealt with showed me exactly what was on his screen as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer at the mileage I was at, and assured me it was the same as what’s in my manual. Sure enough, I took it out and looked while they were working and he was telling the absolute truth. He didn’t once try to push a sale on me. He even recommended AGAINST some services, where it would save me money. Also gave me BOGO offers as well as some extra discounts. Five star service, for sure.
Also, something to mention — they check all of your caps and dipsticks and such before closing your hood by calling out each item as being properly closed or secured. THAT was a relief, as the last place I got my oil changed at LEFT A CAP OFF and I ended up with oil ALL over my engine. *rips hair out*

This has been go to oil change stop since moving to the area. The staff are friendly and quick. I appreciate that they aren’t overly pushy with their services. They don’t have a waiting room so be prepared to be sitting in your car throughout the experience. I have been on days where 8 others have the same idea and other days when I am the only customer for the 10 minutes I am there. They also have a touch free car wash attached but haven’t used it, and they don’t seem to offer any BOGO deals with it.
