I had to get my oil changed so I took my car to the Jiffy Lube on Broadway. I have had excellent…read moreservice everytime I go here, and this experience was no different. I try to go first thing in the morning so there is never a wait for my car to get worked on. The waiting room is clean and comfortable enough to wait for a while, while my car was getting it's oil changed. I feel that the service providers are all friendly and polite. I appreciate that they let me know if my car needs other services such as new wind shield wipers, fluids, filters, etc. But I never feel pressured to purchase these items from them (though I usually end up doing that so it gets done). And the cherry on top of my service visit is that they vacuum out my car which always makes it feel 10x cleaner when I get back in.

I went over to Valvoline on Apple but they were backed up with 4 car so I drove to the one on…read moreBroadway. There was no line. They did such a great job on my car. They were quick, efficient, and friendly staff. I had concerns about my filter hose so they checked it to make sure it was connected. It was a little spendy but thankfully I had a $20 off coupon for the service. Overall it was great service! I'll definitely be back!

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Valvoline. After an oil change, I discovered an…read moreissue with my vehicle that ultimately led to damage to my car. What has made this experience even more frustrating is the constantly changing explanation I received from the staff. When I initially brought my vehicle in, I was never informed of any scratches, dents, or damage to the drain pan. Later, after returning to have the issue looked at again, I was suddenly told that my drain pan was scratched and dented. If that damage was supposedly there when I first came in, why was I never told about it? At that point, because the explanations weren't adding up, I filed a claim through Valvoline and returned to speak with the manager. The manager repeatedly suggested that I must have hit something. I know my own vehicle and would certainly know if I had hit an object. Eventually, he told me there was nothing he could do unless I took the vehicle to a mechanic. I took it to Larry H. Miller, where they inspected the vehicle and determined that the damage was consistent with a previous oil change. I brought all of the documentation back to Valvoline and showed it to the manager. He spent some time on the phone with his manager, only to come back and tell me that they supposedly didn't have enough evidence to do anything. What made this even more frustrating was that the manager later told me that Valvoline had done everything correctly. I pointed out that the drain plug had been reinstalled cracked, and he told me that wasn't what happened and that it was actually my drain pan that was cracked. I later found out that statement was not accurate either. At no point did I feel like anyone was genuinely taking responsibility or trying to make this right. The manager offered no compensation or meaningful resolution. Instead, he repeatedly apologized and told me that this was a "training opportunity" for him as a manager. While I understand that mistakes can be learning experiences, that does nothing to address the fact that my vehicle was damaged and I was left to deal with the consequences. I gave Valvoline multiple opportunities to investigate this situation and provided documentation from another automotive shop, yet I was ultimately left with no resolution. The inconsistent explanations, lack of accountability, and complete lack of customer support throughout this process have left me extremely disappointed. I will not be returning to Valvoline, and I strongly recommend that anyone considering using them think twice and thoroughly inspect their vehicle before leaving.

Dowdy's, however, went well beyond good service for me. We woke up with a car issue, did a bit of panicking, randomly found a place online that was near work, called the shop, and Dowdy's told us we could bring it in immediately if we wanted. They checked it out, diagnosed the problem, and then informed us that we were probably still under warranty and should see if we can get it repaired through the dealership with little cost to us. I'm not sure if the dealer/warranty will cover our issue yet, but I am pretty sure that I will be taking all of my future service to Dowdy's. They easily could have just fixed our car and not mentioned a cost saving alternative; instead of getting a quick buck, they have earned a future repeat-customer. Thanks to Tyler and the crew for their help today.

I live in the hills about 1/2 hour outside Boise. This morning I was trying to help my daughter by…read moregetting a leaking tire patched. I thought that might be difficult on a Sunday morning, but found Firestone online advertising that they were open Sundays. I drove down and the place looked deserted. I stood in the lobby for a few minutes and finally a man came walking out of the work area and asked what I needed. I explained and then he said something like, "Sorry, I don't have anyone in today. I'm only here to take care of three cars that weren't finished yesterday." Whether you are open for business on Sundays is completely up to you. But, if you're going to advertise that you're open for business, then actually be open for business and don't waste other people's time. One person handling the entire store? Not only did you not help a person with a potentially dangerous situation, but you also lost out on a sale of four tires in the next month or so, too, as well as any potential business on our cars.
