We had our oil changed Saturday early afternoon and by the mid afternoon the tire pressure light turned on. We checked the tires and noticed that one of the tire air caps was missing. Today, Sunday, as we were driving on the freeway we heard a flapping noise and had to pull over. We noticed that the cover on the bottom of the car (not sure if it’s called the under panel or splash shield) had not been properly put back in and so it was hanging low. Therefore creating that flapping noise as we drove.
Fast, friendly- but unfortunately extremely expensive. Ive never spent the better part of $100 on an oil change before, and never will again; and this is AFTER I brought my own oil for them to use!
Great attitudes, great service. They made getting an oil change fun.
First time here, I liked it was a drive through didnt even have to get out of my car. When I went there was a lane open and they were able to get it done pretty quick. I would definitely go again.
My battery mysteriously “died and was not able to be jumped” while I got my oil changed. The assistant manager tried to convince me to buy a new battery on the spot. When I told him I would call AAA, he said they probably wouldn’t be able to give me a new battery. He then repeatedly insisted on trying to roll me out of the garage in neutral with no power steering onto busy Folsom street. Finally AAA came, jumped my battery, and ran a battery diagnostic showing my battery was in perfect health. Unbelievable. Very sketchy. On top of that, the assistant manager made consistent remarks about my physical appearance during my oil change (“complimented” my hair…my nails..the size of my small hands…asked how tall I was…said I was a nice height for a woman). Extremely uncomfortable experience topped off by an attempted battery swindle.
Cool and convenient for a drive through Oil change, Less than 15 minutes I was all set.
They advertise 15-minute drive thru. There was one car in front of us. We waited 25-minutes before they touched the car in front. Then it was another 10 minutes before working on us. I spoke to the manager, who was not polite or helpful. The staff was nice and gave us a $10 discount for waiting, but since we were stuck there (a car in front and a car in back of us) 45- minutes Im not going back and will not recommend it...
First time come Valvoline Im very happy 😁 good service and quick 15 minutes
Wish I could give zero, they don’t care about ur vehicle, after the oil and filter change, my car’s splash shield start to fail from the vehicle, it will cost 300 - 500 to change then all, very disappointed
This location has the worest service I ever had. They will tell you that theyre out of stock after waiting for 1hr in the line. The staff are unprofessionals and disrespectful.
I love this place, very professional, trustworthy and fast. I was in and out within 20 minutes for an oil change and tire rotation. Great place to go for the girls! These are gentleman and a lady works there too! Thank you!
Great service and friendly throughout. No upselling here as they didn’t try to convince me my relatively clean air filters needed replacement.
Quick and Easy Service.- Tire Pressure light was on after a tire rotation and they immediately double checked to make sure I wasnt leaving with any issues.
Very quick service very thorough a little pricey but you get what you pay for no waiting
Very good team working together
Very convenient when it’s not busy. Takes you 20 minutes while you wait in the car. Covid safety protocols followed. Great staff. They’ll let you know if any other maintenance pending, and cost.
It is almost an instant oil change! Less than 15 mins for the work, although I did have to wait around 15 mins for the car in front.
It was fast and cheaper than the dealership. They answer questions and are fairly transparent about the work they do.
Contactless. Professional. Quick. Josh is amazing. Wouldnt be surprised if hes running the company in the near future. 🙂👍 Please go teach NYC Valvoline locations your amazing professionalism, process and expertise. Gersen is great too.
Very pleased that I could just pull in (with no appt.) and get oil changed, tires rotated and new air filter with such ease and so fast. They topped off fluids and helped me reset my maintenance settings on dashboard. I will definitely be back.
While my oil was being changed the person working on my car was called to go to lunch. He left, and no one came to take over for 10 or so minutes, so I called someone over to ask what was going on with my vehicle. When someone finally came, they had no idea where the last person had left off and didnt bother to ask, and tried to send me on my way without oil in my car and without preforming the other services Id paid for. Obviously a major safety issue that is unacceptable.I also got a tire rotation and now two of the tires keep going flat. This never happened before then I came here and I have to put air in my tires twice a week.Overall just a chaotic environment. The first employee I was working with was very friendly and knowledgeable, so if he just finished the job it would have been a great experience. Seems like the issue is within the way the place is managed (i.e. no organization around break times and no communication between employees).
All the staff was well-dressed and performed in a very business manner very professional I would go back and use the service again
What a brilliant system !
Good employees, fast service!
1-7-21:Visited for the first time because I needed an oil change and my usual place for the last decade was closed due to covid-19 shutdowns.Joshua was the CSR who took great care of me and my car. There was another person who worked below the deck (Samuel) and Tafao worked the topside. Everyone was friendly and the job was done quickly while I sat in my car.Would definitely come back again... Even when my usual mechanic opens up again.
Quick oil change. Didnt even get out of the car. Recommend going mid morning for no line.
Great service, friendly mechanics, fair prices
Very good fast service
I liked it better when the name was uncle oil can or whatever. Regardless of the name they did good work. My oil was change faster than I expected with no hiccups. I bought the air filter and passed on all the other upsale stuff.
I really liked this place it was quick and cheaper for oil change they also explain to you the different prices before you do it.
Great place to go during covid. Protocols in place to make it more safe and touch less.
Good and professional Mechanics.
Quick,easy in& out.friendly service.
Fast, efficient service! No pushy sales to do anything extra on top of it! The whole oil change was done without getting out of the car and all contactless. Would recommend to anyone who needs an oil change.
Everyone was really happy. It took me about 40 min total waiting time inside car. Drive thru look for coupon from website. No pushy on getting you to buy other parts
They really meant 15mins
Very fast and friendly service. I was in and out in 10 minutes for my oil change. Prices were reasonable compared to anywhere else around. I will definitely come back in the future. They also do smog testing which is great and convenient.
Went there from buying oil change coupon from Groupon.. Honestly didnt think it was worth it.. First made me wait over 40 minutes... No system of first come first serve.. People that came after me went first... They will add additional fees and taxes to the coupon amount therefore you will end up paying more.. Service not too satisfying...they check lights and wipers which I can do it myself... So overall service not too satisfying.. I gave 1 star because the staffs or the manager had no sense of apology for all the wait...
Very nice customer service experience 👍 thanks
Friendly, efficient oil change, filter, tire pressure, lights and wipers check, service at a fair price, no unnecessary upsell, just good advice
Fast service
Staff are helpful and friendly. Good vehicle knowledge also
There is a reason this place has such great ratings and reviews. They take their job seriously.
During a pandemic, nothing beats being able to sit inside your car while your oil is changed in less than 15 minutes, with socially distanced, friendly, helpful, and professional interactions with the staff. Ive had all positive interactions with everyone I talked to over the phone and in person. While its a little pricey compared to, say, Walmart, this is downtown SF, after all, and the speed and convenience were well worth it. Dont forget to call and check for coupons!
Everyone was so incredibly friendly, informative & helpful. They run a tight and organised ship! Phil & Josh were so gracious. COVID 19 protocols were extremely easy and very safe 👌🏻
+ Fast, fast, fast!+ Don’t get out of the car.- It’s a little bit more expensive but the amount of+ time you save makes my+ weekend much, much longer.+ Since ownership changed they are much better managed, more friendly and an overall better experience.- They charge for an oil top off between changes but it only takes+ three minutes and I’m on the road again.
I came by to drop off some use motor oil and the manager said to give Valvoline a shot. I let him know i stripped my oil drain plug and he asked what year and what car. I told him and he came back with two different drain plugs to try out. He was super helpful when all I came to do was drop off oil. I would definitely recommend for others to come here based off this positive interaction.
15mins in and out. Check and fill tires, check lights and oil change. Quite reasonable for SF
It was the worse service Ive had with them I wont even give them one star the only reason I put one star is because they would not let me post until I did
I have read all of the reviews and majority of them are favorable. I will be going in later today for an oil change. I did not know Valvoline offered smog checks so I decided to knock them both out at the same time. I will later post my full experience review based on the following: 1. Greeting 2. Concerns 3. Attention to detail 4. Wait time 5. Price. They will all be graded on the scale of 1-5 system, with 1 being the lowest and 5 the highest. FYI this will be my very FIRST VISIT.
Employees were friendly and professional got in and out.
Very unsatisfactory went there with my own oil and filter my car port dry and after oil change car was leaking oil took it back to have them say they don’t change oil gasket when they are the ones that damage it in the first place then they send me home leaking worse then when I went in losing all my new oil what oil place doesn’t check for no leaks before you leave you stay in your car and u can’t see anything they are doing they should allow u to get out of your car and observe pictures will come when I get off work 300 7th street
Josh was amazing and so kind! Truly appreciate Valvoline and their team!!
Drivethru in and out. Price is right!
I got my oil changed earlier this week right before work. Ricky was the best! He kept me in the loop about everything they were doing, even though I dont know a single thing about cars. Love this spot - convenient, detailed, helpful.
Great, fast and professional service. Always had a good experience here. I’d like to particularly give 5 stars to the manager Mike, who does an awesome job. I witnessed him deal with a super difficult and belligerent customer today, and he handled it very well and professionally, and minimized the hassle to the other customers. Cheers mike, keep it up buddy.
Good service also they check out your car fluids. Amazing.
Fast, courteous and straight to the point. Will be coming here again for sure.
Service was great.
Randy was legit andnquick
Fast, efficient and friendly service!
Besides the long lines everything was great
Quick and efficient.
Ive been going to this place for years - since before Valvoline took over (and Ive noticed no change since they did). Every single time I go, which is 2-3 times per year (car is a 2012 with only 50k!) I am so impressed by how polite the technicians are. So rare these days. And Ive never been upsold without good reason - like showing me the filthy air filter that needs replacement. I moved to Oakland a few years ago when I could no longer keep pace with the techie take-over, but I still go here for my oil changes. Great job guys! The excellent work is appreciated!
Fast service.
Friendly knowledgeable staff. Super easy. Great prices. After going here a few times I can say its hands down the best oil change experience EVER. And that I dont have to worry about price now is awesome. I wish they could do more so I never had to go to any other mechanic.
Robert was super helpful, explained all my options and wasnt pushy about add on maintenance. Highly recommend if you need a quick lunch hour oil change.
They had the filter i needed in stock to get me in and out in a very timely fashion. The staff was efficient and professional. I also like that I can wait in my vehicle while they work. Give them a call and see if they can help you with your oil change.
I appreciate the work done and the person who serviced my vehicle when I was there. He was very nice and walked me through everything. This was my first trip to the place and I left giving it, in my mind, 5 stars. A week later I went to use my windshield wipers and they hadnt filled the fluid. Not a problem, as these things happen. I used it prior to this visit so I knew it was getting low but working fine. What really ticked me off is when I called to let them know, the gentleman who picked up insisted that there could just be a leak in my windshield fluid holder, which I know there isnt as its worked fine, just needed a fill. I went onto say its all good I just wanted it taken care of. What was a good experience really ruined it for me as he was on the defensive and really it was not appreciated at all. Id say, the person that helped me was great. It was a simple mistake, but its the attitude and instant assumption that the mistake was on me that gave them a 3. Unfortunate.
Go with the Groupon it will save you money! quick and easy service and friendly
These guys are the best though not the cheapest. I always feel secure that absolutely everything has been checked and filled and that quality products have been used. They are super fast and efficient. They are always very accommodating about adding the Lucas oil additive I bring.
Not very busy but it took longer than 15 minutes they advertised you can watch the job being done while you sit in your car this is completely false.
These guys are awesome. Friendly fast service at a good price. Get you back on the road in no time. They offer full service but don’t try to force a bunch of unnecessary upsells on you.... Disclaimer: Changed business name/owners from Oil Can Henry’s to Valvoline Oil Change. I have not been to the new establishment so this review might no longer be reliable.
Always get me in and out reliably
Very fast and detail oriented.
Super friendly and no pressure!
Good service. Hadnt ever experienced their drive-thru oil change method but only waited a few minutes before they got to it. Ending up fixing my tail light for no charge. Will definitely be back!
Solid staff. They get the jib done quick and have the skills.
Would definitely recommend Oil Can Henrys to anyone!I went in and only had to wait a couple minutes in my car for it to be my turn. They did my oil change, switched my reverse lights, and gave me a new filter for a pretty decent price. Everyone helping me was very nice and explained everything to me patiently since Im not car-savvy at all. Entire experience probably took 20 mins tops. Prices are very reasonable too.
Fantastic speed and so professional!!
I only visited the website.The information was both easy to read and understand.
Robert did a great job with checking everything for me professionally
Friendly, professional, thorough and quick. Im now a repeat customer.
Been going here for decades (prior name: Oil Can Henry’s). Quick, courteous, great value & high quality fluids. I drive from far & wide to get serviced here.
Ive been coming here since my Toyota Care ran out and Ive never opened my hood. Its been 60K miles so I guess it looks good under there. I really dont want to know.The only suggestion I might have would be WiFi, why not.Everybody Ive dealt with has been professional and friendly taking the time to explain what they are doing.They send me a $10 off coupon so it brings the total cost to under $100. I think its expensive $$$ but its worth it. I dont even have to get out of the car.
For my first time coming this was a great experience and all the workers were very helpful and so kinda and took care of alot of stuff that I needed done to my car highly recommend this spot 100 %
Quick no bs
Very polite and courteous folks.
Been going here for about 5 oil changes (before they changed ownership). Everyone is super friendly, and well...its an oil change so its pretty transnational and light hearted. On this last go around I asked them to rotate the tires, which they did. What they forgot to do was actually secure the hubcaps back in place and now 3 of the 4 hubcaps I had on my car are now one with the universe.Little bit bummed since it isnt that hard to secure a hub cap (Id rotate my own tires if I had a lift and jackstand). Although cosmetic, those things are annoying to have to go replace.EDIT: Was contacted by Valvoline corporate immediately after posting. Within two weeks, theyve agreed to replace the hubcaps. Great service and updated review!
My husband and I would never use another place. Fast friendly service. Cant beat it.
Amazing service and a very informative staff!
Over priced
Fast quick service. They pull the usual gags around changing air filters, but so does every other oil change shop. Prices here are reasonable and they always send coupons by email.
Fast convenient professional service!
Great service!
Great service. They arent pushy when it comes to selling add-ons. They offer, you say no, they move on.
Good service.....
Ive been coming here over 10 years.😡They charge Extra oil for Hyundai Sonata.they lied to me😡And price has gone up I will never return here again
Always fast and polite, and they check out your car when you do an oil change.
