Valvoline Instant Oil Change

I go here for all my basic needs-oil change wipers ect. I went here on Friday 12/29 to get my car inspected and a gentlemen came out and asked why I was there so I told him for an inspection he was rude and asked if I had an appointment and I told him no, he would not allow me to get my car inspected and said to come back on 1/16-and yet they inspected my car last year with no problem and let me add that there was only one car in the entire place as you can tell I was really upset on how they handled the whole thing. The mechanic knew I only had 3 days left to get it inspected. It's unfortunate. Because now they lost a customer.

No problems. I used a Groupon offer that saved me a few bucks. Even though I paid for the oil change through Groupon I still had to pay sales tax in person. I thought that a little weird. It was a Monday mid morning (not lunch time really) and the place was pretty busy. I guess I waited 15-20 minutes. Friendly people. Prices are a little high I think, but there are much higher. I called one place that wanted $125 for a full synthetic oil change. Really? I asked what kind of oil, thinking maybe it was something special. Mobil One maybe. Nope. That was for Castrol. I won't say which place that was. Anyway, with the Groupon which cost $56.99 plus tax ($4.53). So $61.62 total. Much better than $125! Groupon upon this writing August 2021, also offered a synthetic blend oil change for $42.99 plus tax. Regular prices are $65.99 for Synthetic blend and $85.99 for full synthetic. Sales tax again is extra. The technician was very pleasant and helpful with questions I had. This was my first time here.

Very disappointed with the thoroughness of their service. I had been taking my Honda Fit in for oil changes because the skid plate is hard to get off without being fully under the car, so a pit is very helpful! However, for the second time now, whoever was underneath my car was extremely negligent in reattaching the plate. The first time, I gave them some slack because the reason the plate was dragging was the little plastic clips, which are not super hardy. However, this time 3 out of 4 screws are just missing from my car entirely, which I found out after I jacked my car up and crawled under there in a parking lot on my way to work this morning. Happy Monday indeed. If all you want is an oil change, that seems to have been fine. If there are other parts involved, no matter how simple, I wouldn’t trust them. I can only imagine how many people without the skills or ability to get under their car have either had to get towed or have destroyed the plate by dragging it. Won’t be going back.
