- LMLuis MancesidorJan 2, 20261.0Simple routine oil change turned into every light on my dash being lit up 20 minutes after driving off. My car literally started jumping and going backwards. Managed to get it back there, they plugged something into my car that told one employee it was my “spark plugs misfiring” while another employee got a different reading. I looked it up and any time these guys mess up a car they blame it on spark plugs. They either didn’t fully connect something back on my car or spilled oil where oil should not have been.
- JMJim MustoDec 10, 20255.0Quick service and professional
- JLJada LavelleDec 6, 20251.0I usually never had an issue until I went to get my car inspected yesterday 12/5 they told me my oil was black sludge. I visited this valvoline in October to get my oil change and you charge me $90 to just add oil to my old oil and I’m lucky it didn’t cause damage to my engine but you guys really suck for that. Cause If you did it to me you definitely doing it to others.
- FFFred FordNov 15, 20255.0Nice and polite and professional staff!
- JGJill GeorgeNov 8, 20253.0You're in and out fast. They don't check the air in your tires. Also they don't reset the oil life in your car, unless you ask them.
