Valvoline Instant Oil Change

This is my go-​to spot for not only oil changes, but occasional fluid top-​offs and tire pressure checks. You’re in and out quickly and the techs are always courteous and professional. Another nearby place (a different company), that claims to have a 10-​minute oil change, could never get me out of there in under a half hour, even when there was no wait to get in the garage. Said bye-​bye to them and started going here and I’m glad I did.

After being told by a Ford dealer that it would be 2 hours to get my oil changed, I hopped over to VIOC on 161 to (hopefully) have it done much faster.
I was not disappointed, and everything was great. The employees were courteous and didn’t pressure me to have any additional services done (although they offered), and I appreciated the technician showing me the oil dipstick after the change was done so I knew it was fresh oil and filled to the right level. I was in and out in approximately 20 minutes.
It’s worth noting that VIOC isn’t necessarily the cheapest place to get an oil change, but its worth paying a few dollars more it to have qualified people who aren’t pushy, isn’t it? Also a quick internet search will yield a number of coupons you can send to your phone for a discount.
Quick lube places have earned themselves a bad reputation as a whole, but Valvoline stands out from the pack for not doing any of the troubling practices you’ve seen on those hidden camera investigations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone, unless you have a Tesla. I’d be shocked if you drove one of those here and were charged without resistance.

Always fast and very friendly! The guys that work here are nice and I’m usually in and out in 15 minutes or less. They even put air in your tires after you’ve had an oil change! The traffic sucks on this road but it’s definitely worth stopping here, especially if you’re in a rush! I’ve been here for my last 4 oil changes and won’t be going anywhere else from now on!

Everyone here is so courteous! They work together as a team which makes them finish the job faster. I can also appreciate the fact that did not try to upsell me with lots of pressure. They made recommendations but only the necessary ones not like many other auto places.

I’m the kind of girl who puts off getting an oil change for as long as I can. I hate the whole experience… I always feel taken advantage of. Hell, I don’t know if my air filter needs changed or not… Sigh…
So I decided my car might just stop running if I didn’t get the oil changed so I stopped here on my way home. There was no wait. I pulled right in with the assistance of one of the guys working there. That big hole in the floor always makes me sort of nervous… Once the car was in place 4 guys start doing various things checking lights, air pressure etc. I was asked which type of oil I wanted and I chose the cheapest. I was prepared for the up sell and yet, there wasn’t one! He asked if I wanted their newer oil that is a little better for the environment. It was the same price so I said yes.
After about 5 minutes they show me my air filter, it looked clean to me… And before I could really think about it, he tells me it looks clean, and it probably would be good for another couple of oil changes (WHAT!!!) I was shocked… Next thing I know I’m handing the guy my credit card after being told the total was exactly what they said it would be in the beginning!
So in conclusion ~ Totally painless, no pressure to upgrade anything, friendly staff, and a happy car.
They have a customer for life.

Had to wait 10 minutes just for someone to come out and tell us that it would be another 15 minutes until we could get our oil changed… Even though only one lane was in use… Can’t believe we waited so long to get out oil changed… Once we made it into the lane they were pretty nice and seemed to know what was going on…
