- BFBAR FRIDON4 days ago1.0Raymon not should be a manager here very rude 0 customer service I came to change a oil you feel like in airport to many shouting to many questions just to sell more not recommended you’ll wait here 1 hr minimum
- PRPedro Ramirez4 days ago1.0This place used to be good. Been going here for the last 5 years. Went this month and first of all, I had recently installed a KN filter this past summer, they tell me I need a new one. 2. I had just replaced two months ago to be raxct, the cabin filter, he tells me I need a replacement. 3. I had been waiting in line for over 40 mins that by the time I left I completely disregarded the tech charged me for a tire rotation that I never got. Stat far away from this place. They try to rush oil changes to keep it moving in fast and as some of these posts state, they could F’up your vehicle by not adding enough oil (mind you the main dude working on my was about to come and walk over to my deiver side to let me know it was done and I seen him going back and getting the hose to add more oil a few times more).
- DVdanny velascoJan 1, 20265.0The employees did a great job of greeting and making me feel comfortable by making reasonable recommendations without being pushy. They did a great job of explaining my vehicle's needs based on the vehicle and mileage recommendations. I will definitely be returning for my next oil change. The valvoline staff were both welcoming as well as informative regarding my vehicle.
