  On February 16, 2026, our daughter brought her Mini Cooper to Valvoline in Medina for a routine oil change. What happened next is nothing short of negligence. She was upsold an unnecessary air filter, and her vehicle was serviced by a trainee. No on-site manager was present. She paid $103.53, drove less than 10 miles, and her car broke down on the side of the road – she was stranded. We had to have the vehicle towed to a licensed mechanic who confirmed significant engine damage. There is no reasonable scenario where a properly serviced vehicle suffers catastrophic failure within minutes, unless something is done incorrectly. We reported this immediately to Valvoline and Brendan at the Medina location acknowledged responsibility, assuring us it would be handled. That admission of guilt was later rescinded. After nearly one month of delays, we were told the claim was denied – without a clear explanation as to why they were not at fault. Since then, we have made repeated calls to Customer Care and requested multiple times to speak with the regional manager, Ryan – but have been completely ignored. No return calls. No follow-up. No ownership of the situation. Meanwhile, our family has now gone 51 days without a working vehicle because of Valvoline’s actions. This has caused significant financial strain and daily disruption to our family – while Valvoline does nothing. At this point, this is not just about a damaged engine. This is about a company that: allows unsupervised trainees to perform critical services that directly impacts engine safety, causes preventable mechanical failure, admits fault – then retracts without explanation, ignores customers when presented with evidence, and refuses to communicate or take responsibility. We have supporting evidence to prove otherwise and are documenting everything - we are fully prepared to escalate this through every available channel, including corporate leadership, consumer protection agencies, and public platforms. Anything less than a fair resolution for the damage caused will confirm Valvoline does not stand behind its service or its customers.

  The individuals at Valvoline are excellent at recommending services not selling them. Very professional and quick to perform the oil change.

  Employees were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient! My only complaint is that I was promised an email receipt and never received one!

  First time trying Valvoline. Friendly professional staff, explained the process and reasonable price. The crew chief was upbeat and had his staff jumping. I felt that everyone knew what they were doing
