Valvoline Instant Oil Change

Valvoline Instant Oil Change is here to stay and carry my car and me through Winter 2013. But boy was the operation hard to spot.
The automotive store is located on the «alleyway» behind the storefronts of Greek Express, Wendy’s and Arby’s all near the Wedgewood brand stores and golf club. The VALVOLINE sign caught my eye as I drove by and, given I was looking for an auto place, I did a 180 degree turn and pulled in.
First impression? Clean, spotless… all good things about an oil change and auto store. Accomplishing that isn’t easy so management is on top of their presentation. Staff? Personable and as the series of questions about my 165,000 mile car carried on (important questions), I grew to like the worker (s). And no overselling? Just questions like, «How are your windshield wipers holding up? It’s not January yet and you might want to think about keeping a clean windshield.» The fact I had a torn wiper blade put me in line for a new pair and installation — and they’re great.
The entire cost of a high-​grade Valvoline synthetic oil (5 qts), service, wipers and installation ran $ 100. Afterwards the staff and I spoke about changing belts on my engine (they do it).
Overall, I can’t think of a nicer, more professional group of staffers at an oil change «first» place. My other dealer in Upper Arlington sold out and his store is now gone. I’m now a Dublin/​Powell VALVOLINE service client and like it.
