Could not have had better service!
The employees greeted me right away when I pulled in and guided me to which bay would be the fastest based on what I needed to get done. They were not pushy at all and very kind, which I very much appreciated.
Never going anywhere else for an oil change or my tires rotated or my inspection again!

My visit was amazing! I haven’t used you all in awhile just b/c. I received a coupon in the mail and decided to use it. Glad I did! Austin offered great customer service, Carmelo was very professional, and Ethan was amazing as well. I’ll be visiting your location again.

Tire rotation service. Helped to also remove non-antifreeze windshield washer fluid and replace with a bottle I brought. I was preparing for a trip to the northeast and was concerned about freezing washers.
(Edit) Adding context from previous visit) I got my oil changed there a week or so before, and wanted my tires rotated for my trip. The bay (1), had a broken lift. The other bays had several cars in line, and if there was a sign indicating the lift was broken, it would have saved me the second trip for tire rotation as I could have chosen a different bay for service. I don't fault the guys there, it's more of a suggestion for improvement.

Everyone was very kind and helpful, but the person that stood out the most was a young man (i think colt was his name). This person was very in tune with everything from the beginning to end, his skill, customer service etiquette, and providing me with good information on my car. In the past I've taken my car to Jiffy Lube or Firestone, but your employees did such a good job i will become a Valvoline customer. Great customer service reflects on good management. Thank you

I was in their bay for over an hour!!
I only go in if I see there’s not a wait so I didn’t go when they were slammed. They popped my hood and checked my battery and then I waited like 20 minutes before anyone even talked to me. Then more waiting til they started the oil change. They did the oil change, took away the thing that I think sucks out the oil and then I just sat there for 20 minutes. I assumed there was more to be done but I was waiting for a while. Then I realized employees were just meandering around. Saw one employee just walking around, randomly tapping on equipment and staring off. I called him over to check what was going on
Me: hey how am I looking?
Him: ……..in terms of what?
Me: of being done?
Him: *shocked and flustered* uh um I…um…we’re waiting for the….bottom side guy to check his thingies
And then he immediately closed me out and let me leave. So I just sat there for 20 minutes waiting on nothing while there’s a line building up behind me? Come on. Made a formal complaint with corporate and they helped me out but I’m rescheduling things in my day to make up for the fact that this took so much longer than expected.
