Valvoline Instant Oil Change - I love that you stay in your car

Valvoline Instant Oil Change

(85 reviews)

I took my 2019 Honda Odyssey van to the Valvoline Allen location yesterday. As usual their service…read moreto change oil was quick, and the technicians were friendly and professional. Today early morning, just a day after the oil change, I was seeing numerous scary warnings popping up on the dashboard, like engine transmission problem, steering problem, brake problem, etc. My van was absolutely not drivable. While panicking early today morning, I called the Valvoline Allen location, and explained to them the situation, and that it was weird that I was having all these issues after an oil change. I spoke to their manager ... I think his name was Cody. He was very professional, listened to my situation, and instead of avoiding dealing with this, he immediately offered to drive to my location to take a look at my van. He quickly found that the duct that feeds air to the engine had a crack, and immediately diagnosed that to be the problem that was causing numerous warnings. He hooked a portable diagnostic meter and confirmed that was the problem based on the error codes. I think the air duct crack was probably a result of it being very old and brittle after 192,000 miles of driving the van. And, earlier during the service, it must have snapped underneath when they were checking the engine air filter. Cody offered to call around the Honda dealerships in the metroplex. And in a couple of hours, he located a new duct part. He drove there to the dealership to pick the part, and then came by my house to actually install it for me. Even upon my insisting, he did not charge me anything, neither for the part nor the service. I was truly wow'ed with his excellent customer service! That's why I decided to leave this comment. Thank you Cody and Valvoline Allen.

I fully love convenience, but not at the expense of subpar services. I'll admit, I know NOTHING…read moreabout cars so I do need to be able to trust the services being provided for me. This place lost ALL and ANY trust from me. I came in after I spoke with a CSR on the phone. She provided a special coupon for me to use as a first time special. I went in and made sure I let the technician know that I had this coupon. He was kind of dismissive, but I assumed he was so experienced he didn't need to see if and knew which coupon it was. After they changed my oil, which happened quick. He rang me up and the numbers didn't make sense. I double checked with him and he inputted the wrong one and wanted me to just accept it. I stood firm and had him fix it which required he call in to the main office to adjust. This wasn't it though. A few days later as I'm driving home from work with my kids in tow, the plate on the underside of my car just fell off. Luckily my partner and his dad were there and quickly jumped in to figure it out. They explained that the pins that holds the plate were not there. I obviously didn't touch those pins. No one else touched it recently except them. We luckily had some zip ties so we zip tied it in place and ordered some new pins. That was awful. I need service that I can trust and this was not it. I don't blame the technicians for this. I blame the impossible conditions they're probably placed under by the stakeholders and not being provided the tools and manpower to provide this speedy and correctly done service. I'll likely not return here nor any place promising quick services as it probably means rushed and not necessarily correctly done.

I've always heard people say getting your oil changed can feel intimidating because you're never…read moresure if someone's trying to upsell you, but that wasn't my experience here at all. I brought in my older car after getting some confusing information elsewhere, and from the moment I pulled into the bay, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and ready to help. They got me in almost immediately, and the technician took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense. He pointed out that my cooling system was in really bad shape and explained why it was important instead of just trying to sell me something. I really appreciated that. What stood out the most was that I never felt pressured. He gave me a fair price, answered all of my questions, and even let me know I could stop back by anytime to have my oil checked and topped off between services. That level of customer service goes a long way. The whole visit only took about 15-20 minutes, everyone was kind and professional, and I left feeling like they genuinely cared more about helping me than making an extra buck. I'll definitely be coming back for future maintenance.

Needed an emissions test for registration renewal. I decided to stop by Take 5. I had never used…read morethem before for anything. They were busy, but I will say they moved quickly. The staff were friendly for the most part. One guy looked a little sleepy. We laughed for a few minutes and talked about cars. They answered my questions and concerns. The emissions testing was easy, quick and simple. The price is already set so it's decent. It's required by Texas so you really don't have a choice. I would definitely return based on having a pleasant experience.

Went today for oil change, coolant flush and filter. Replacement Job completed on timely manner,…read moreand went home satisfied with the experience. late that pm we decided to go to North Park for some errands.l and Upon entering highway 75 I'm hearing an odd sound coming from under the front hood. After a couple of miles driving we decided to pull over and check the front of the car. Upon careful explanation I notice that the technician did not properly bolted the engine splash shield. I will be returning tomorrow and hopefully they can fix it...keep you posted... Because of this issue im giving 3 stars for now .. Update. I went there this morning and tech was able to fix the problem. Also Abe who owns to shop message me about the issue.. Thank you both..

Wish I had handed my tip to him since the rest of the staff was MIA!!! (1 heavy set white male, and 2 black males did a disappearing act when it got busy!) Those 3 fellas disappearing act caused a great delay in running the cars through the wash. They are under new management. Not sure how long that will last. Fairly certain they had several employees..... BUT, only 1-2 were working. (A female and a thin white male. Those 2 were the only ones getting the cars washed and drying them.) Pretty sad situation to watch. The other staff were off in a room to the side. Not a good start for a new business. If I noticed, makes me wonder how many others observed the staffs apathy to work? 3 staffers left the front of the business unattended for 20 minutes. That's sad. This caused a delay for cars being placed through the wash. I felt uncomfortable, pretty sure I will not be returning. I'll go back to Trademark up the road. This place is not dependable. Highly, suggest you go elsewhere! January 2023
