by 2019 HONDA CR-V EX Owner on 09/06/2024Verified Service
I know that the service techs are not paid off commission but I feel like thet are always trying to push more than what is fully needed. Also asked if they filled the wiper fluid and the tech says 'yeah,yeah, first thing we do and I can see it full from here.' Needless to say it was not done. Not sure if they stopped doing that.
by 2013 TOYOTA PRIUS Owner on 04/05/2025Verified Service
Always quick, but not too quick. I don't feel I'm being pressured to purchase a filter or some other product that I don't need.
by 2008 HONDA CIVIC LX Owner on 03/23/2025Verified Service
Was overcharged way too much. Especially from the quote I got over the phone and when I kept asking how much everything would cost he kept dodging my question until they finished and it was too late to say no, so I am pretty upset.
by 2019 NISSAN SENTRA S/SV/SR/SL Owner on 03/10/2025Verified Service
Fast service, in and out in no time. Reasonably priced and the workers are always friendly and vocal, telling you everything you need to know and what they're doing.
by 2015 NISSAN ROGUE S/SL/SV Owner on 02/28/2025Verified Service
Quick and yet thorough service. Didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. Friendly polite service.
by 2019 SUBARU OUTBACK 2.5I PREMIUM Owner on 01/26/2025Verified Service
Had specific battery I wanted, installed while I waited, and offered to top up tire pressure. Their database of compatible batteries, however, doesn't include Interstate MT-25, which interstate recommends.
by 2017 NISSAN ROGUE S/SL/SV Owner on 12/18/2024Verified Service
I've been a Valvoline customer for over 2 decades. That should tell you all you need to know about how much I trust your employees and, because of them, your company.
by 2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON LTD/SEL/SP/ULT/VAL Owner on 12/10/2024Verified Service
Always a great visit. Every move is explained. My whole family comes here. Never anywhere . Great workers! Thank you.
by 2012 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GLS/LIMITED Owner on 11/08/2024Verified Service
William explained what I needed but didn't pressure me. He performed all the inspections efficiently and kindly.
by 2015 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE/SPORT/LIMITED Owner on 10/03/2024Verified Service
I like how fast and honest the service was honest from work being done to payment out the door, I will always return
by 2019 HYUNDAI SANTA FE XL SE Owner on 09/11/2024Verified Service
The technician was great. He explained everything in great detail to me leaving no stone unturned. A very good experience.
by 2016 GMC ACADIA SLT-1 Owner on 08/03/2024Verified Service
Quick and friendly service. They do try to upsell you on other services but we're respectful when I declined some of their offers. Will recommend for people who need oil changes.

by 2020 CHEVROLET SPARK 1LT Owner on 04/25/2024Verified Service
Everyone is so helpful and courteous. They check everything, top off all of the fluids, check your tire pressure all this while changing the oil. I have been going to Valvoline for my oil changes for years now. Even on my previous vehicle which was a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer. They did a great job for me for many years with that car, so I naturally went back with the little Chevy Spark. My favorite place for oil changes and quick checkups!

by 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL Owner on 03/10/2024Verified Service
Went in, no issues, they told me everything was looking good, then I turned down a transmission flush and all of a sudden I have a transmission leak, but I took it to pep boys and they didn't see a transmission leak, so they tried to lie to me to get me to pay their outrageous prices no transmission leak detected with safety inspection at pep boys the very next day.
by Valvoline Instant Oil Change on 03/11/2024
We are sorry to hear about the transmission leak you were advised of. Our technicians will let guests know if they notice any potential issues or leaks with a vehicle on arrival and recommend having that looked into further. VIOC isn't a full repair shop and unfortunately, we are unable to diagnose your vehicle here. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused and appreciate your feedback. If you have any other questions or concerns, our Customer Care team can be reached at 800-327-8242.
by 2018 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA Owner on 12/15/2023Verified Service
The same employee constantly tells me I need a radiator flush, it was done 20,000 miles ago there for over 100.00. When I say no, he argues my car will be affected and needs it immediately until I prove it was just done and for him to check the computer. This employee is constantly trying scare tactics to have extra services completed.
by Valvoline Instant Oil Change on 12/15/2023

Was there for 30mins including about 15mins waiting to get in. Went around lunchtime so figured they'd be busy. They did a thorough job, showing and explaining everything they did. They offer additional work but they're not pushy about it, just say no thanks not at this time. Will continue to go back to the Southington VIOC

by 2020 FORD EXPLORER PLATINUM Owner on 06/27/2023Verified Service
First time going there for me! They checked/added air in all tires if necessary, checked brake lights, head lights, blinkers, parking lights, changed the oil plug/oil and topped off all fluids all while sitting in the car. I will be using this place from now on! The staff was very thorough, multi tasked all 3 bays and worked together as a team to get all the cars in and out as quickly as possible!!

We are happy to hear you had a great experience here at Valvoline! Thank you for your business! We look forward to seeing you next time!
by 2011 BMW 328XI Owner on 06/02/2022Verified Service
Upsale- they have been using full synthetic oil for 10 years now they are pushing european oil said damage will happen with full synthetic. They put in my car last 10 years! So will they be responsible for that? European oil is good for over 15k before next oil change with additives they dont tell you that.

Thank you for taking time to share this feedback with us. Here at Valvoline our stickers default at 3000 miles regardless of the type of oil that was used. We understand that some manufacturers and service centers may recommend higher mileage intervals for normal driving conditions. Valvoline does base the 3000 mile interval regardless of oil type for cars driven under what auto manufacturers consider severe driving conditions. Research has shown that more than 80% of consumers drive under severe conditions such as stop-and-go traffic, short trips, temperature extremes, etc. While auto manufacturers' maintenance recommendations are dramatically shorter for severe driving conditions, our reminder stickers default at 3,000 miles.
by 2020 HONDA CIVIC LX Owner on 08/16/2021Verified Service
They neglected to put the cover or shield back on correctly after the oil change and it partially fell off when I was on the highway. It was scraping the road but was still attached so I couldn't drive. I waited over 2 hours for AAA in 105 degree heat and then it wasn't covered by my warrantee. STAY AWAY!!
by Valvoline Instant Oil Change on 08/16/2021
We're disappointed to see this! We would be more than happy to bring this to the attention of management to address further. Please email us at CCSocial@valvoline.com with your VIN or invoice number and phone number. Reference case #SM400159 in the subject line. We would like the opportunity to preserve your trust in Valvoline.
by 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA 2.5/S/SV/SL Owner on 07/15/2021Verified Service
Quick services, professional and knowledgeable technicians. They suggest other work that SHOULD be done to your vehicle but are in no way pushy about getting you to do it. Just say no or not at this time if you're not interested in following their recommendations.
