My daughter had the oil changed in her 2018 Chevy Equinox, with 58,000 miles on it. They put in 4.2 quarts of Full Synthetic, Max Life oil. The cost for this service was $95.39, after coupon. This vehicle did not require a high mileage oil and even the cost for this service did not justify the excessive price, none of my fleet vehicles, which are 8-cylinder vehicles, cost this much (Tire Discounters, Full synthetic and tire rotation, $73)! Second, she was never given a receipt for the service and when I visited the store to discuss the service and request a receipt, I was told the printer was not working. I had to contact corporate to have one emailed. I will not be recommending Valvoline Instant Oil Change to anyone and will make sure that others I work closely with in my field are aware of the cost associated with just an oil change if they send a young female to have one done.

Grand Blanc Michigan Valvoline
I had my oil changed today at the Valvoline on Hill Road I’m Grand Blanc Michigan and it was such a pleasant and professional experience. The crew worked so well together and are obviously well trained. Kudos to the service at Grand Blanc Valvoline, it was a pleasure and I appreciate their knowledge.

I visited the store on 350 Highway in Raytown Mo. on 1/25/2022, the guys working were professional and they took the time to explain things. I really appreciate the excellent service that I received this morning.

Crooks of Youngstown, Ohio on Belmont Avenue
In Youngstown OH, the Belmont Avenue business, I had my car’s oil change last year. I would, of course, not assume anything was wrong unless oil was blown out due to untightened (or missing, due to negligent service) oil cap (above) or oil plug (below). I had no idea the skid plate was barely put back on underneath, until I lost it the next day.
I also would not have expected the service folk there to deliberately add less than 3.5 quarts to a 5.5 quart capacity. So I find that my 6000 miles oil is black as it gets, and dangerously low. Glad they saved the two quarts of my paid-for oil!
I had to do a $20 oil system cleaning to ensure the overworked oil was completely out of my car!
I hope this ACTUAL experience ensures other would-be customers may know what crooks they may be choosing.

Vavoline in Chapel Hill, NC Rocks!!!
I just had an oil change in
Chapel Hill, NC location and was very pleased with the excellent service and helpful attention to detail. Nigel and the entire staff were professional and courteous. They did a courtesy check of my car's filters and showed me what they looked like. I am very diligent to get regular oil changes and no one has shown me my car's filters to see for myself what they looked like....I was right there as they pulled them out of my car. I'm disappointed it has not been shown me before. They did not pressure me at all to change them....at first I said I'd get it done later but rethought that....they were really very clogged looking.
I and my car are very glad I went to Valvoline in Chapel Hill, NC as a last minute choice when Pepboys next door told me despite my appt they were very backed up.
I feel relieved to get my oil changed and 3 very dirty filters changed and friendly, well-trained service...oh by the way...they changed my windshield wipers for me with my spares, checked all my lights and tires.

INCOMPETENT THUGS WILL BREAK YOUR CAR…
INCOMPETENT THUGS WILL BREAK YOUR CAR AND ROB YOU!
I came into the Fairfield CT location for an oil change. The manager Benjamin was incredibly rude and condescending the entire time I was talking to him. The staff there was untrained and completely incompetent. Before working on my car, the "certified technician" said out loud, "I've never worked on a Subaru before," before completely botching a simple oil change. I drove out of there having no idea that they didn't even change my oil. My car then began to stall and sputter. I had to get an emergency diagnostic at Dan Perkins, as I was too far away to go back to valvoline. I legitimately thought my car was going to break down. Welp, it turns out that when valvoline changed my oil, they hadn't done it properly at all. I collected evidence that valvoline was responsible for my car problems. I brought them the evidence, requested a refund, and was greeted by their manager Benjamin not only denying my refund, but being incredibly rude and disrespectful the entire time to both me and my husband, even laughing hysterically at us after finding out that we we're married. I was not only completely robbed, losing over 260 dollars over a simple oil change, but I was humiliated and seriously dehumanized on top of everything. I reported Benjamin to customer service and they didn't care. They just told me that he wasn't usually like this, and the person I talked to, I believe his name was Kevin, advocated for Benjamin because they attend the same church group. Kevin brushed me off, and basically told me that no disciplinary action was going to happen. I've never had such a horrible experience at any establishment in my entire life. Not only did this group of homophobic thugs rob me, but they also humiliated and laughed at me afterwards. I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall as nobody is being proactive in mending this whole situation. I don't know what I want to happen anymore, but this whole situation just doesn't sit right with me, and it's causing me a lot of emotional and financial distress. 1 STAR DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THIS "COMPANY"

employees gang up on other employess
i went in for an oil change on 11/16 and two employees were clearly ganging up on the other two employees and even went so far as to threaten them. clearly management does not have this place in control. you cannot threaten to put a bucket on someones head and clown around and think its ok. i went to the maumee ohio location on conant st.

Waste of time
The Conyers Ga location is a waste of time & has horrible customer service Wesley is a jerk. They had me wait 2 hours in line to tell me they didn’t have enough oil for my car. To turn around to tell me to get the oil come back & say I have to get back in line. Go to more reputable places. This company is horrible. DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE
