    Cute waiting area -- tricked out with toys, games, candy, and little kids sized chairs. Keurig for the grownups on the left.

    I found Auto Aid after my car dealership's service department quoted me an $8,000 repair. My Subaru had a busted hose, which the dealership repaired, followed by the $8,000 repair quote and a recommendation that the engine be removed and taken apart because of coolant and oil mixing. My car has only 70,000 miles on it and runs fine. A second opinion was definitely warranted. Auto Aid was great. Dave was polite on the phone, stayed within the time promised for a detailed diagnostic, gave my car two test drives after the diagnostic, and explained what he thought the issue might be. The cost of the diagnostic was reasonable. As it stands, he did not see anything that warranted a serious repair or engine work. Just so I would know, he also ran a quote of exactly the repair that the dealership recommended: $4,200 as opposed to $8,000. However, Dave did not see anything indicating such a repair was needed. I took my other Subaru to Auto Aid for rear brakes ($100 less than the dealership) and an oil change. Great service, fair prices, nice people, rides given for local customers, and a cute waiting room with free wifi. I've found my new mechanic.

    I am disappointed with this shop. I went after seeing good reviews.Although, I like the customer…read moreservice from owner and the technician. I went in for transmission fluid change earlier in February in my Toyota Camry 2018. I bought OEM Toyota transmission fluid and asked Joe to help do drain and fill.The drain and fill was completed. After that there was a rough driving issues started. I went back to show my car to joe and he drove the car he told me he don't see any issues. I wanted him to check transmission fluid port on if there is low transmission fluid he didn't agree and told me I might be overthinking. I went to different mechanic in April and he checked. I paid $100 to reopen the port for transmission fluid and what we saw was no fluid came out from the primary port. He added 0.5 quarters left. The issues I have had for rough idle and need to have higher RPM on slope went away completely.According to him you have to keep the car running when you drain the fluid and you need to have it at the right temperature he said the drain and fill wasn't done correctly that's why there was still room for fluid. The viscosity of the fluid makes a difference in how much you can fill and drain. He double checked for leakage and there were no leaks either. When I went to joe and asked about don't you have to keep car warm to see if temperature is right? He said you only do it when there is a leak. I don't think Joe knew enough about mechanics of New car. I wasn't overthinking when I went to ask Joe for help and asked to recheck the transmission fluid. I paid $260 for labor only( $160 to Joe and $100 to another mechanic) for same job. It's really absurd. Overall this could have damaged my transmission. I think for future the customer advise should be taken seriously. I know my car well so I know when it's not acting good. I have been driving it from 10 years.

    BEWARE -- Serious concerns regarding transmission service and lack of accountability…read more I brought my vehicle to Valvoline for a "transmission fluid service," trusting that the service would be completed properly by trained professionals. Unfortunately, just four months later, my vehicle began having serious issues and was unable to shift into gear. I had to take it to a mechanic as an emergency repair, where I was informed that the transmission fluid service appeared to have either not been performed correctly or not been completed at all. During the inspection, my mechanic found that my vehicle holds approximately 8-9 liters of transmission fluid, but fewer than 4 liters were drained. The fluid that was removed was thick, black, and extremely dirty -- not what I would expect after a recent transmission fluid service. I was also advised that there was a possibility my transmission may have suffered damage due to the condition and level of the fluid. I filed a claim with Valvoline hoping they would investigate the situation and work with me toward a resolution. Unfortunately, I was told that everything was done correctly and that they would not take any further action. The manager, Carlos, stated that he reviewed the service and that the same fluid removed was the fluid that had been put back, explaining that discoloration can be normal due to residue. However, the condition of the fluid and the amount removed raised serious concerns that were not addressed. I also informed them that on the day of service, the team had me wait an extended period because they needed to call and confirm which transmission fluid was required for my vehicle. I have supporting documentation, including receipts, videos showing the condition of the fluid, and my mechanic's findings, but my concerns were dismissed. Valvoline was once a convenient and trusted option for me, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Mistakes can happen, but refusing to acknowledge a customer's concerns or take responsibility when there is evidence supporting their claim is extremely frustrating. I hope Valvoline takes this feedback seriously, reviews their service procedures, and prioritizes proper training and customer care. Customers trust you with their vehicles -- that trust should be earned and protected.

The employee, who identified himself as the manager was unapologetic & matter of fact. No empathy whatsoever. Said he could "possibly " have it started at 5pm, & possibly have it done by 6pm, but likely that it may be overnight and done the next day. I asked if there can be any compensation for the inconvenience, since this was an error on the company's behalf. He responded, as he sat behind the desk tapping away at the computer, that there could be none. He stated that he bore no responsibility, and claimed responsibility lay with corporate , in effect, their inefficiency. As if he the employee and the company were a separate entity. Absurd! I never received any cancellation email or notice. I would NOT recommend this business to anyone. Yet, my experience may not be your experience. Still, customer service goes a long way in my book.
