Service was prompt, I know when I go it's going to be quick. Checking the rest of my (old) car over over also gives me peace of mind and lets me know if I might have bigger problems I need to fix.

The technician that helped me was great with setting expectations and telling me what the process would be like. The Oil change was pretty straight forward and completed quickly. It was great that the location had a fuel filter in stock and were able to service the vehicle. They offered some other services that I declined and I was on my way.

Horrible/rude, customer service


Nov 05, 2024

My advisor was friendly and helpful. The oil change was quick and everyone was clean, friendly and courteous!

Newer Car!!! The unsupervised and unskilled employee "Spilled" oil all over my engine, then tried to use Windex and water to clean. What a joke. I still have smoke and burned oil smell. My recommendation; Do Not Go to the Carmel Mountain location.

I did an oil change here in July. A few days after the service the oil started leaking though the oil drain plug. Maybe they didn't replace the old gasket or they didn't install it properly. In any case i had to do the service again to get it fixed. Also, they said that the manufacturer of my car recommends a transmission oil service at 70k miles, but that service interval is 100k miles.

Love coming to this location.. fast and relaible. Super friendly staff and very knowledgeable

Tried giving this location benefit of the doubt and put any blame on the vehicle. It seems that every time I get an oil change at this location something goes wrong. Their services have resulted in thousands of dollars in repairs - whether it’s repairing oil hoses, power steering, electrical, etc.; whenever they touch our vehicle, something goes wrong. We recently (9/16/24) inquired about a battery replacement where they said everything is fine (70% life remaining). My wife and I are now broken down waiting for a tow service for more repairs. If you’re taking your vehicle at this location for anything, proceed with caution.

Aug 05, 2024

Best service ever. Thank you Anthony.

Stopped in for an oil change this morning and was parked and left alone. Not a “Hi” or “Hey we will be right with you”. I left as I sat there for 15mins waiting to even be acknowledged. Won’t come here again.

Awesome and easy oil change experience


Jul 05, 2024

I always have a great experience with Valvoline. It's the best deal for the services they offer for the short amount of time it takes them to do them. I'm always greeted and given recommendations. It's like an in and out for cars. Thank you to Nick for helping me today!


Jul 05, 2024

My oil change was fast, efficient and inexpensive. I am very satisfied.


Jul 05, 2024

Oil and deferential services


May 05, 2024

Andrew was awesome!5 star service:)

Avoid this place. Technically they are not capable. For a simple oil change, they forgot to put the check fluid dip tick back to the car.


May 05, 2024

They are always quick, efficient and budget friendly. They're never pushy about upselling you something that you don't need or dishonest. Thanks guys.


Apr 05, 2024

Great place for an oil change. Quick, courteous and professional. It is a little pricey but I need new oil so I don't have a lot of choices. I was able to get in and out in less than 15 minutes.

Matthew was extremely patient and helpful!! Thank you!

Anthony was great and so nice! Thanks Anthony!

Do not go to this branch. They are not trust worthy and refuse to take responsibilities for their actions. Specifically, I went for basic oil change and they failed to properly re-install the front skid plate. While I was driving on the highway latter, I heard strong banging sound that forced me to pull over narrow highway shoulder to check. I found that the skid plate was hanging down. All the way back, the skid plate kept hitting the road and it got some damage. When I went back to the same Valvoline location, they took the car to check and came back to say there was nothing wrong. So apparently they were lying about it, they fixed it and denied there was something wrong. Then I asked them to uninstall because I lost trust in them. When I got the skid plate, there were clear signs of damage caused by improper installation and scraping over the road. Such loose skid plate could have caused a major accident on the highway if it completely fell off. They refused to offer any compensation for the damaged plate and kept arguing that there was nothing wrong with it.

Michael, Esteban, Sibert, Banson killed it today!!! Thanks for going above and beyond with your efforts, communication and education.

Dec 05, 2023

Some idiots are working there. They forgot lift under my car and broke my under cover. They dont care whats happened. I will never come to here again and i dont offer to anyone!

They are unprofessional. even they didn't know how to screw German auto make splash guard. Splash guard was came off at 50mph on highway15 right after oil change and I found engine oil leaking from oil filter and oil level was low. I ended up buying Uber to pick up my child. worst experience ever!
