    This is the only place I come to for an oil change! The technicians are so nice, thorough and they go over everything my car my need. I love this location and will keep coming here for all my car needs! They help me with light replacements, checking my tires and advising of recommended services! Truly the best!

    Can be a long wait sometimes but very professional and courteous. $290 for synthetic oil change and transfer case service but that's to be expected these day's.

    I hate going into shops especially the dealer ships (many reasons especially being a woman) but here I get to stay in my car and they're super friendly and not pushy on getting you to buy things that are uneeeed for my car and answered my questions politely. Javier was one of my guys and was patient, friendly and went out of his way for me. the rest of the crew who also amazing! Ryan, Jesse & Addian (I think I got everyone who worked on my car that day. Thank you for doing your job with car and efficency.

    The service techs were nice, but the whole reason I waited 40 minutes was because I also needed to get my fog light replaced. The service tech said he could replace it, but the manager, Melissa, refused to let him do it because she had improperly done one before and was afraid of “melting the light”. It’s a lightbulb, not rocket science. Shoutout to the techs for being cool though. First bad Valvoline experience.

    I had such an incredible experience at this Valvoline location on Gear Street in Vancouver, WA, that I just have to share! From the moment I arrived, William greeted me with kindness and a smile. He immediately looked into replacing my lightbulbs and made sure the cost was as minimal as possible. He even checked in during the process, and at one point was singing, which honestly helped put me at ease. Next, Danielle (Lead Technician) was absolutely wonderful. She was informative without being pushy, explained everything clearly, and even changed my son’s older vehicle lightbulbs for me. I already had the bulbs but didn’t know how to install them, and she took the time (and it did take time!) and did it for a very reasonable fee. She also went the extra mile by searching online and helping me find a better coupon on their website, saving me even more money, which was so thoughtful and appreciated. Javier wrapped up my visit and again, was extremely kind, thorough, and not pushy at all. Everyone communicated respectfully and honestly, which I really appreciated as someone who doesn’t always know what I’m looking at under the hood. Let me also say this: over the last year I’ve been to multiple Valvoline locations in the area and was honestly ready to give up on the company entirely due to mistakes and oversights at other stores (loose caps, missing caps, oil everywhere… just a mess). I was hesitant to even go again, but the positive reviews for this location convinced me to try one more time and I am SO glad I did! Every single review about the customer service here is TRUE. I even made sure to call out and personally thank the manager, Adrian, for having such a wonderful team and such high standards. As a single woman, it can sometimes feel intimidating or like you’re being taken advantage of in car situations. Here, I felt heard, supported, respected, and genuinely helped not upsold. I will absolutely continue coming to THIS location from now on, as long as this wonderful team is here. Thank you all so much for your kindness, knowledge, and efficiency. In a world that feels heavy sometimes, it was such a gift to experience genuine kindness and care. 🌟🙏 *Also dog friendly* Highly, highly recommend!
