I tend to be a fan of the Valvoline Instant Oil Change nationwide chain. While there's one closer…read moreto my home, I was in the McCordsville area today and decided to stop in and get an oil change even though it was just a wee bit early from my due mileage. While it should be obvious from the name, this is an oil change location and not a full-service mechanic. That said, they do offer full-service oil changes, battery replacement, headlight/tail light replacement, transmission service, differential fluid replacement, tire rotation, fuel system cleaning, windshield wiper replacement, air filter replacement, and fleet service. If I remember correctly, this is a 3-bay location. I pulled up and was taken in right away. This is a somewhat set-apart location in the outer parking lot of a Meijer with a brand new Crew Car Wash around the corner. There's also a small strip center across the parking lot with a Noble Roman's, Great Clips, and Verizon. The employees here were friendly and helpful. They did everything a full-service change offered at a fair price. I was in/out in just a few minutes. As a wheelchair user, I always appreciate when I don't have to get out of the car. Because this is a nationwide chain, they were able to pull up my records. I appreciated that. I also appreciated that they aired up my tires as I had one running a bit low. They were having a film discussion - I'm a film critic, so that was kind of cool. However, they were also super focused on what they were doing and doing the job well. This location was clean, professional, and in good repair itself. Overall, this was a positive experience and I would easily return. While I'll generally stick to the one closer to my home (Glendale area of Indy), I won't hesitate to come back here when I'm in McCordsville. As a side note, Valvoline frequently has coupons on its website that can help reduce the price a bit.

I explained that my dash said 15% and according to my last oil change sticker I have approx 600 miles left. After I popped the hood and pulled in with Eric's guidance he came to my window and asked when was my last oil change and I told him and explained what the dash and sticker stated. He said I could drive up to 8k miles between oil changes. The oil was still clean and it didn't need to be changed right now. Steve came back over and stated that they were honest people ( I sincerely appreciate that) and that I didn't need to pay $100 right now. Eric asked me the mileage on my truck and wrote me out another oil change sticker adding 3K to the total. Steve came back over while Eric closed up the hood and changed my dash from 15% back to 100% and told me when it gets down to 20% to come back and see them. I have to say this is my 2nd time at a Take 5 (the first was in Greenwood) and both experiences have been exceptional!

My wife called me with the news, and I was concerned that during the holidays, service and parts resources would be limited. I was able to get a fix on my wife's location and immediately reached out to local repair shops, only to find, as expected, that many were closed for the holidays. Dynamic answered the call and provided the most needed assistance. My wife arrived at the location an hour before opening. Once the mechanics arrived and opened the doors, they quickly evaluated my wife's car. The tension in the situation was relieved when the concern was identified and its severity reduced. We cleared the EVAP system error code, and my wife continued her journey home. There were some complications with administering compensation for the services, but we worked them out.

I feel like that's really hard to come by in the automotive industry and so we really appreciated their transparency.

Last week I brought my car in because of three warning lights.

They also told me that all lug nuts should be replaced 5/wheel, 20 total. I agreed to replace the brake sensor and lugs. They told me the lug nuts would be over $300 (that's $15/nut), but I m a senior and can't do the work. Today I brought the car in to get the work done. I told the service guy twice that I had to have the car at the end of the day and he agreed. I never heard anything from him. Finally I called but couldn't get through and left a message. He never called back and I have no car. That's what I call shabby treatment. What makes it sting is that I'm paying premium prices for the experience. Stay away
