      Driving down the road and all of a sudden a horrible sound every bump I hit. I thought my tire was coming off. First place for help was a Valvoline drive thru.
      Even tho this was not the right place, I also needed a headlight, and they’ve done my oil changes for quite some time. So I pulled in. As a woman, I am a little ignorant about cars.
      Now to the point the people working there could not have been nicer! Knowledgeable of cars. Even the manager, Andrew went with to show him the sound, as at first they didn’t see anything and it wasn’t their job. Short drive and Andrew knew and then showed me that I had a severed strut. I drove home carefully. Point is these guys could have sent me somewhere else but they didn’t, and they couldn’t have been nicer or more professional. thank you. I am a lifer!!

      Do not take your vehicle here, they will ruin it and refuse to take responsibility. Took car in for basic oil change, they over tightened the filter so much that it warped the surrounding filter housing to the point that it had to be replaced to the tune of over $700. Despite me having written report from technician who discovered this and even the warped parts in my possession, the location manager told me to call the 800 number and after I filed report they dumped me off to the area manager who refused to investigate and denied my claim. Unreal.

      I haven’t been to a Valvoline in a long time and I just bought a used car and wanted that peace of mind of having everything taken care of. Xzavier was awesome and helped me out with price and peace of mind. I would recommend valvoline in Waukesha WI for sure! I am super pleased

      I’m currently sitting in my car at Valvoline for the third time in 5 month period. First visit was for an oil change in January… then a few months later … so about a week ago I noticed some scraping at the bottom of my car and loud noise. Turns out some cover on the bottom of the car is loose and has been scraping the roads everywhere I went. I was informed that this was not capped on properly since oil change. Valvoline was agreeable to get this back on for me about 4 days ago- free of charge of course. Then 4 days later, today im again on the road with loose cover on the bottom!!! I don’t understand why they can’t screw this on properly!!! I’ve never had anything like this happen to me in the past elsewhere. Just this Valvoline. You would think that when I returned for loose cover the first time, they’d do decent job at putting this back on… last thing I expected was for me to return 4 days later to get it done again. I hear them yelling right now under my car saying there is no screws on there. What is happening??? Once this is resolved, never returning to Valvoline for an oil change. Ever.

      We went to the Valvoline location in Williamston SC. The service was timely but when we got home we found oil all over our engine and it was dripping all over our driveway. We had to clean our engine and make sure nothing was leading to avoid any damage. This carelessness was unprofessional and we will not go back. They also charged us $239.99 for a fuel filter that can be bought online for less than $50 and said it was what Valvoline Says they must charge. Since they told us it was going to be $100, we agreed to that since it needed done and then charged us the $239.99. We are very dissatisfied with their attention to detail and pricing.

      This company is completely unprofessional and fraudulent. I spent the day calling this company to try to address a matter where a representative at their Rivergate location broke something on my vehicle, which cost $1500 to fix, and I have yet to have the ability to speak with any level of management, they are rude and disrespectful on the phone and all I’ve done was try to have a conversation with someone who can explain why this is going this way.

      I'm Done! After many years of taking my cars to Valvoline I will no longer do so.
      Instead of draining the oil from the bottom of the oil pan they now vacuum it out. This process may have been certified (by whom? The manufacturer of the vacuum equipment?) but not for me. And don't do it if you want to keep your engine in top shape.
      It's all about reducing the volume of new oil, not having to replace the washer on the oil pan, likely saves them some volume in waste oil and significantly reduces the labor for having someone in the pit. Now the pit person instead looks for other sales opportunities.
      NOT FOR ME!
