Generally speaking, I don’t have much bad to say — until my most recent visit, which forced me to have repairs done elsewhere.
I brought my 2022 Ram 1500 in for an oil change and a rear differential service. The work was supposedly “completed,” but after only a few thousand miles, my axle bearings burned up. I had a qualified mechanic inspect the issue, and the cause was simple: this shop underfilled my rear differential by almost a full quart, which caused the bearings to overheat and fail due to lack of lubrication.
And no — the day Valvoline serviced my truck, I didn’t check the fill level afterward, because I made the reasonable assumption that licensed mechanics could handle a basic differential service without sabotaging my truck. Thankfully, I caught the issue before it caused catastrophic damage, but on a vehicle with only 118,000 miles, this is not a repair I should’ve had to deal with at all. It was completely avoidable, and it was 100% the result of negligence and incompetence.
The repair bill to correct what they caused cost me in excess of $500.
I’m confident Valvoline will never admit fault, and I’m equally confident that pursuing it legally would go nowhere — they have deeper pockets and better lawyers than I’m interested in paying for. They’ll deny responsibility because, of course they will. But I can do this: I will never take my vehicles here again, and I will never recommend this place to anyone — ever. And I sincerely hope this review reaches as far as possible and impacts their revenue accordingly, because a business that operates at this level of carelessness does not deserve to stay in business.
If you’re considering this location, understand that they can probably handle an oil change — but anything beyond that is apparently a gamble with your vehicle.

I went to the Haymarket location for my first Valvoline oil change. I was pleasantly surprised! Ian performed concierge type service; he was efficient, knowledgeable, kind with no hard sell. Kevin was the mechanic and performed the service very quickly. While I do miss getting my car vacuumed like with that other company, I do not miss the high-pressure sales tactics. I will definitely return to Valvoline for my next oil change.

These guys are great, quick and knowledgeable. They run the basics at the same time and make recommendations without pressuring to buy more services. Good honest people, wish they did state inspections - other than that, perfect!
