  This company took over from a local family who were affordable and efficient. Now the oil change is hella expensive and you waste an hour of sitting in your car for something that should take them minutes. Be careful of the workers trying to sell you overpriced services. Avoid this place if you can

  I had my oil changed here for years before it changed ownership. It WAS great! Super fast and polite. Went in today… they are charging $9.50 to put air in a tire!!! I will never go back here again.

  One of the better fast oil changes I’ve ever had. The team was process driven which made them super fast and attentive. They were kind and helpful and I was out in 15 min with 3 things I needed. I even got a Go Gators on the way out as I’m a UF fan lol. Will be back and great job team at Valvoline Oakland!

  Pro-Lube was my place to go for all in one oil change and smog check and seeing the new Valvoline is differet. My first time experience with Valvoline here was "Eh~so-so". Place looks very different than what it looked like a few months ago. Its definitely a lot cleaner and open, I definitely miss the flowers in the front to give some fresh air to the area for all the exhaust that comes and goes, and definitely miss the convenience of the smog check as it is not offered by Valvoline. Pricing was a big surprise as I used to pay $80 for full-synthetic to now being charged $120 for the same oil change, lucky for me they offered 20% one time discount to drop the price down to $97. During the oil change refill they accidentally had a backsplash from the hose that caused oil to spill into my engine bay, luckily they cleaned the top of the engine and skid plate. The Assistant Manager helped clean the oil from my car and explained what occurred and that it was cleaned with de-greaser, but when I asked if it would smoke as I drove my car to which she stated "Absolutely!" and walked off. Luckily she came back around to me and I again asked as I was concerned, as she later stated she misunderstood me the first time, and stated that my car would not smoke as I drive due to the de-greaser. Overall a so-so experience as the prices are very different, staff are friendly and helpful at explaining, did have that mishap with the oil backsplash, and sad to see an empty bay that used to be for smog checks as I need one this year.

  Replaced the best, quickest and cheapest oil change in town with corporate. They somehow have 5 times as many people working there, and take twice as long. My old workflow was to drop car then walk home, come back to have the work completed. Now they refuse to let you leave. Huge downgrade.
