Valvoline Instant Oil Change - Broken seal on the oil filter installed by Valvoline

Valvoline Instant Oil Change

(11 reviews)

LOVE THIS LOCATION FOR EFFICIENCY AND GREAT SERVICE! I visited for a significantly overdue oil…read morechange. Apparently the last time was November 2025, yikes. Good thing it didn't negatively impact anything this time. My car was serviced by Chris, Josue, Eric, and Tony. They did safety checks for brakes, lights and turn signals. They advised I needed a new air filter which was the same recommendation last time however they don't have it in stock which was the same issue last time as well. Overall, quick, easy and a good service experience. I would definitely return for the convenience!

On 1/9/2026, at around 1:40pm ET, I had one of the *single worst customer service encounters at in…read moremy 55 years alive* The manager of the store, Joshua , who was the tech we interacted with was rude and unprofessional, to such a degree that I hope his area manager will investigate how he treats other customers and his colleagues. Here's what happened, as objectively as I can describe it: My 20 year old daughter and I arrived at this Valvoline location to get her an oil change before she heard back to school. She was driving and I was the passenger. I had purchased a Groupon for the oil change and didn't realize that the Groupon was potentially location specific (the voucher had an address for a location in Hampton VA included on it). I had saved the voucher to my Google wallet, and when Joshua tried to scan it, it didn't work. He immediately started telling his team to stop their work. I looked at him and said "Can you give me a minute?" That is literally all I said.My tone was normal, neither rude or confrontational. I just wanted to see if I could figure out what was going on with the Groupon. In the blink of an eye, Joshua turns to the employee in front of the vehiclenand tells them to close the hood, as we won't be getting an oil change. In disbelief, I started saying, loudly, "Are you serious? I literally said 'can you give me a minute?' that's all I said!!" Joshua replied with " you're being rude, you won't be getting an oil change here today". I replied with "You have no idea the lengths I will go to to hold a grudge." And I mean that. This review is just the first step in the personal campaign I will now pursue to see Joshua relieved of his duties as a manager at Valvoline, as he clearly isn't well suited for dealing with customers. Epilogue: After leaving this Valvoline, we drove down Midlothian turnpike to their location on Midlothian turnpike across from Chesterfield Town center. I explained to the tech there that we have a Groupon and explained the address issue on the voucher that I described above. He said he would be happy to help us see if we can figure it out. He tried scanning the voucher saved to my Google wallet and it didn't work, which wasn't a surprise. He said "It's just coming up as zeroes" which made me realize maybe it's a Google wallet issue -- so I opened the Groupon app, pulled up the voucher in it, and it worked fine ( with the store address not being an issue at all). If Joshua has just given me the ONE MINUTE I requested to try pulling up the voucher in the Groupon app, there wouldn't have been any problem at all. Joshua- I hope you see this. And the review I'm going to leave on Google. And the letter I'm going to send to Valvoline corporate. I have been a very happy customer of Valvoline for many years, at many locations. YOU shouldn't be representing their business, and I have a hunch that if today is an indication of how you treat customers, you won't be for very long. Services Oil change

ALLEN TIRE

Finding tires at an APPROPRIATE price around Richmond is like trying to find Malaysia Airlines…read moreFlight 370. It's easier finding your car keys and the remote control. Heck, I think finding NEMO was easier! Also, next month (March 2018) marks FOUR YEARS and they still haven't found that airplane. I, on the other hand, have found my new tire guy. I spoke with Gary Allen himself and he showed me the way. Allen Tire is a Good Year brand shop, so if that's your brand, he's your man. I ended up going to GoodYear.com and the chat window specialist ended up price matching the tire for me. I paid for my entire order online and was sent on my merry way. About thirty minutes later I got a phone call pushing UP my appointment. Well that was music to my ears. We ended up dropping the car off at 5:45pm (15 minutes before closing) and at 8:20am the next morning the car was done. How you like them apples? YELP is very harsh on auto shops so to see this place hold a four star rating is a good sign. You can certainly count me as a very satisfied customer.

Appointment was made within a few days, and the process was easy. Their service was excellent and…read morethey checked the tire pressure in all of the tires. There did not appear to be much of a waiting room. The Allen Tire sign should be more prominent. The Goodyear sign is bigger. They have ample parking and will provide shuttle service within a reasonable radius. Personnel are professional and personable.
