Didn’t check air filter, lights, and took too long. Price not too bad with 50% off coupon but they ripped me off on the cost of extra oil since my vehicle takes eight quarts.

Had a wonderful experience in both service and courtesy. We came in for an oil change using a Groupon. We were greeted as we arrived and our oil change was done in an efficient and timely manner. Very pleased and will return for additional service.

I went to this Valvoline for an oil change. This is the same location that did my last oil change and left with a damaged oil pan. The tech told me my drain plug was over-torqued from the last service and too tight to remove. Then the manager, Eric, went under the car and suddenly claimed it was “free spinning on arrival,” which completely contradicted what his own employee had just said.
After I pointed out that this exact location did my previous oil change, their story changed and no one took responsibility. Eric also assured me that my vehicle was not leaking oil before I left, but when I got home that same afternoon, I found fresh oil drips in my driveway. I now have a $2,809.29 repair estimate to replace the oil pan.
Corporate later closed my claim calling it “wear and tear,” which is absurd there were no leaks or issues before this visit. If Valvoline doesn't make this right I will be considering legal action just to get them to cover the damages they caused.
Terrible experience from start to finish. Avoid this location if you value your vehicle or expect honesty.

Today was my 4th visit to this location and as usual was very pleased to find that the staff were as friendly and efficient as on all previous visits. I have found that some places (especially chains) can provide great customer service at least once or twice, but to have received the same high level of service on multiple visits seems a bit rare these days. On todays visit I was greeted by the regional manager - Marco - as well as the location manager - Eric. I took the time to let them both know what a great job the team there was doing.
