I went here to get a headlight bulb change and left the location with two other problems now my signal light and my brake lights dont work. They dont want to fix the problem or even look further into the problem that I didnt have to begin with. The end result was I brought it to Portal performance and they fixed it without replacing anything. Valvoline staff just pulled it and didnt want to take responsibility.
Went in for an oil change and they did not have my filter. The guys were affable enough. They said they topped off my fluids(minus my oil, i declined) and checked tire pressure and i left. No harm, no foul. I went down the road to get what was necessary to do it myself; and luckily i double checked the oil cap to see what oil my car took because it wasnt there! They forgot to put it on... I was not happy.. The worker on duty apologized and said his guys should know better, then gave me a 1/4 off next one.. Worth the damage it could have done?! You be the judge.
Great guys here. They get the job done fast and they do it well, and they dont push or upsell you on things you dont actually need. This is the kind of place where someone could send their grandma, daughter, or non-car-guy friend and feel confident they wont get ripped off.
Went in for oil change and i wanted everything done. The people were friendly. Today I was changing my filter and I noticed that they didnt even put any coolant or windshield washer fuild in. I dont know if it is bc I am a female but I wont be going back. I have educated myself on cars bc of situations like this.
I would recommend anyone to come in. These people are kind and professional at what they do. Great job!
Ive been going to this Valvoline for nearly 10 years with 5 different cars. Ive recommended friends and family throughout the years. My current car still uses conventional oil so the price difference between a self-change and coming here is about $10. Well worth the convenience and the checkup on all other fluids, maintenance, and lights. 5/5 will continue to get my oil changes here for years to come.
Why was the woman with the nose ring so rude to me? Can someone from management please confront her about this? The 2 men who spoke to me were extremely extremely kind and helpful. Please encourage that behavior. The woman just laughed, complained, made fun of me, and eventually left and I saw her rolling her eyes. Why? Very unnecessary and unprofessional.
I love valvoline they take care of their customers great experience
Fast & quality work ! Stay in the car while they take care of your needs
I come here for my synthetic oil changes because it’s too convenient not to. The guys who work here are all very nice I have zero complaints about that. But their computer system at Valvoline really tries SO hard to sell you on extras you just don’t really need. I have a major mechanical mechanic outside of basic oil changes. If I needed half of anything Valvoline has tried to sell me on I would have known already because my mechanic just did a full inspection 3 weeks ago when I replaced an upper radiator hose. They tried to sell me on a $25 oil stabilizer in my car? Why? I’m not burning or leaking anything, its an unnecessary chemical component in the car. My air filter was just replaced not long ago, but they still tried to sell me another one when it wasn’t even dirty. Also, my car goes 6,000 miles between oil changes because the engine requires full synthetic. They continue to print the windshield ticket as 3,000 miles though and I told them this. Also, the tech did not know how to reset my oil change due light in my Dodge Dart. He thought it reset but when I pulled out of the garage the message was back. I googled it when I got home to reset it myself. It’s convenience because you don’t need an appointment here, and it’s very quick, but I personally wouldn’t trust their mechanical opinions here outside of a basic oil change most of it is likely just up selling you on things you don’t need.
The men and women here are top notch. Always going above and beyond. Also always offering deals and coupons. Great place!
Great experience, everyone was fast, friendly and helpful. Was in and out in a matter of 10 minutes without ever getting out of the vehicle. Will for sure be getting my future oil changes at this location.
Trio Joey and Mike and Hector are awesome very very professional..Family now
What a great place! Took all 3 of our vehicles here for an oil change. All the employees are hardworking professionals who did a wonderful job. They have one heck of a system and are a well oiled machine. Wish I came here years ago!
Like this place. Friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. Cant ask for much more out of an oil change
Always professional, friendly and so far no mis-leads on anything. 3rd visit, I trust them and am very pleased. David & his crew nice job!
Those guys are so great.No pressure, just the facts. I like it.Also, my company just started a fleet deal.Think its gonna work well.
Ladies Beware! If you’re going to go to this location do not go alone. Take someone with you who can be a second pair of eyes to see what’s going on under your hood while you’re conducting business with the lead tech. They are clever and they will prey on you. They perform a lot of unnecessary checks on your vehicle in an attempt to get you to spend more money (up sell). During the tech’s unnecessary system check, he broke the antifreeze tank and cap costing me $600 in repairs, I only went in for an oil change. The store manager is absolutely no help! He doesn’t have a clue about what’s happening in his building. Customer service isn’t their priority. They are unethical and dishonest there. Do not take your vehicle here!!!!!
Great service and very friendly, efficient employees!!
Love that we stay in car and can see what their doing
Bristol CT location. Wonderful and professional during an oil change. Definitely tried to upsell me hard but I understand. Just needed an oil change and the work was performed well. 👍
Excellent, fast, thorough service! Easy peasy! Average prices. Will continue to go there from now on!
Great workers that cares about their customers.
I get free oil changes at Crowley, but if I cant get a good appointment this is always my go to place. The guys are smart, kind, not pushy and do a great job. Ive never had an issue.
Let me start by saying, I shouldve been getting my oil change at this location because the team here went above and beyond with great service and a very charismatic staff. Best experience Ive had during the pandemic. You the man Brian!!!
Very nice and helpful staff.
Brian was great love it there
Decided to go back, and was not dissapointed! The guys wer great! Very friendly, and quick,and very very friendly .Clean, and organized also.The shorter guy who helped me was the best.😎He should be the manager if he isnt already...just sayin...and not pushy at all...would recommended anyone to use this store for your auto needs.
Everett and his staff were AWESOME. Best experience I’ve had getting an oil change. So nice, helpful, and honest! Everett even talked to my parents on the phone about some other stuff going on with my car. Would absolutely recommend this Valvoline to any and everyone! I’ll definitely be coming back :)
They report service to carfax. Keep your resale value, get your oil changed in 8 mins.
I always go to valvoline where David Davila is working due to the fact that hes very professional and courteous not only to the customers but to his colleges. Hes consistent and on point getting you in and out.
They overfilled my oil on 2 separate times I’ve gone there causing my engine to shake now. The first time it was a new workers mistake and they kindly took some out for me when I went back and complained but for this to happen a second time at a place that only does oil changes is absolutely ridiculous. They need to train their staff better I can’t believe they let a car leave there with that much EXTRA OIL in it
Quick fair price
I had a great experience at this location. I arrived early so I was in and out in 10-15min. I was treated kindly by all the guys and appreciated them taking the time to explain what they were doing. They even showed me the new air filter they put in my car! I will definitely return to this location. No hard sales push and no pressure. They have to offer because it is a business.
Great service! Fast and efficient!!
Quick and easy, just sat in the car the whole time.
I arrived in the late afternoon and they took care of my car immediately - quick service, very nice and taking care of my car. I had another issue with my car and gave me the right diagnosis after I asked them.Great service!
I love going there customer service is always outstanding!!! Fast service you can wait in your car while they service it.
Great service! Crew was exceptionally friendly and courteous!!! Actually had fun bantering with them. Never had an issue at any Valvoline.
It was my first time going Valvoline they were all very nice. Customer service was great and I will be going back to them in the future.
Ben and james r awesome...cesar runs a tight ship...thanx guys
I love this place my dog too very polite and friendly
These people messed up my car on the most basic of car maintenance and now I got to go spend more money on ordering parts to repair my car. And yes the staff was nice but I dont go to a mechanic for their kindness... thanks valvoline you taught me the valuable lesson to never sacrifice quality over convenience. Id rate this a zero star if it was possible
Great customer service! Highly recommended
This is the second oil change I have gotten on my car and the first one at valvoline. They told me my car is synthetic oil which I wasnt told that when I my first oil change at Mobil one. They went a above and beyond for my car. I recommend going there.
Used to bring both my cars here until I pulled in without waiting because there was no one outside and then technician starts yelling at me, mistakes happen that is no way to treat a paying customer.
Stay in your car service. Quick, thorough and professional.
I am always happy with the service. I almost always spend more than I planned, but its because they find some issues where I have neglected my car. Its worth the money!
15 minute oil change? Yeah right. It took them at least 10 minutes just to get started on my car. They were only working on 2 other cars. Im not a fan of this new full drive thru service. It took more than 30 minutes to get my oil changed.
Worked with Everett, mad chill service tech. Gave me real advice and great service. Def recommend for any type of maintenance service
Super quick and efficient.
Great service friendly staff
They used to take care of ur car while u wait, Now u have to stay in ur car, and stay sweating in u car while wait .Is hot and the car has to b offCome onnn
Guys are always nice and efficient!
The operation has changed a bit: you stay in your car not in the waiting room. Because of the road construction in the area, its a little harder to access but all went well and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Quick Fast Easy.
Fast and friendly and professional
Great service
Very quick oil change. Service was professional. I thought that price was bit high.
Best auto care service.
Good guys .. great service!!
Got right in. Didnt have to wait long. Nice, polite staff.
I know i racked up a bill. It was totally my fault. But the gentleman with the ginger beard (i didnt catch his name) was so polite. Helped me right the mistakes. And my car will be a-ok and running like a pro once again. He notified me of every thing and asked permission before performing services such as topping off fluids that might cost more or changing out filters. Thank you for your wonderful service. Ill be back!
These guys are good. Always quick, job is done right, clean workshop. They usually try to upsell additional services, but thats part of their job. There is no hard sales push.
Will not be going here again. Girlfriend just went in for a regular oil change. Charged 60$ for an oil change when all she needed was a regular oil change. Screw you people.
Dont take my car to nowhere else. Always had excellent service.
Always fast and friendly. Never too pushy.
Quick oil change
Service was good, but it is WAY overpriced. If you can do any of this yourself, you should.

Thanks Jereme and the staff @ VIOC in Bristol, CT for all your hard work and dedication.A very satisfied customer,Todd
This is the worst place for an oil change. The customer service rep wanted to service my A/C at the end of summer? All they care about is meeting their quotas and trying to make an extra buck however possible. Disgusting.
Quick and effecient service.
Great service
Paid $85 dollars for a full synthetic oil change...oil light came on a month later and come to find out they never changed the oil and filter...#stayaway #hacks
Over priced vs. alternatives for oil change. Aggressive upselling on fluids and filters that did not require a change.
Quick in and out, great service
S/o Jermaine and Alonzo for the service
Warm service
Good team
Good service
