Valvoline Instant Oil Change

Quick and efficient service from these guys and 1 gal on shift today!!! ¹⁵⁄₂₀ mind and your out! It’s really amazing how they swarm your car for assessment and then again to complete the services. Came in for a simple oil change and I’m leaving feeling as if I’m driving a new car with new oil and fresh air in my tires!

Came later in the day and I’m glad I bypassed any rushes because the physical location and driveway in can’t hold too many cars. The oil change itself was standard and they checked everything that another drive thru oil change would. The change was very speedy and they topped everything off. The 5 stars is for their customer service. Absolutely friendly from the moment I drove in, to the moment I left. All 3 of the crew were efficient and we’re all polite. Highly recommend coming here for a quick oil change. Avoid high traffic times because you may get stuck in a line you can’t get out of. They all worked well together and we’re communicating the whole time to ensure the best service. Major shout outs to Germain, Martin, and Celina up top and to the crew below

when i receive service this good, i just have to write a review. fast and friendly, thorough and clean, clear in what they were doing, no pressure on upsells. i was in and out in 10 minutes.

Hello Unilocalers
This place is unreal!!! I purchased a Groupon to use chose this place because of Groupon reviews. The mechanics there synchronized beautifully. The manager I believe was the gentleman who rang me up, was professional and very respectful (everyone there I spoke to was). As a female I didn’t feel like they were trying to take advantage of me at all. Let’s see I’m going to name drop here… went to Firestone in El Cajon on 2^nd told my car needed a very «special» motor oil «European» I was told. I have a 2013 Dodge Dart (full synthetic ohh yes so very «special») The «Special Europe» motor oil bs. Firestone wanted to charge me about $ 100 for my special oil change and lube. Staff there was eh ok but, nothing like these guys at this shop. Firestone’s staff cannot even touch the guys at Valvoline on a ladder!

Ciara helped me with all of my confusing car mess today, it was so awesome to see a woman defying stereotypical gender roles as a mechanic

Just got done with my full service checkup! So fast and everyone was really friendly! In and out in like 10 min!

Awesome job. They got the job done in under ten minutes. From the time I got in the station from the time I left and was back on the road. Thank you.

Cool, fast and professional. First time being at a drive through oil change where you chill in your car. Pretty coo.

Not sure if the popped my radiator cap had to get it from dwn the street after I asked them to check my coolent oil change was quick tho

Definitely the fastest place to change your oil. They are very knowledgeable and tell you exactly what they’re doing. They have also changed my wiper blades, flushed my radiator and changed my air filters. They recommend services based on how many miles your car has, but they aren’t too pushy if you don’t want them. I use these guys every time now.

Very quick and the guys working on my car were all very nice & professional. If I didn’t know the answer to something, they figured it out for me. Would go again. I chose this place because of the groupon online for a full synthetic at about half the price. They also didn’t try to make up things I «needed» like other oil change spots.
Thanks!

Excellent staff. Very friendly and there is no upsale at all. in and out in less than 20 miinutes. If you need an oil change go here!

Wow. I really liked this place. The guys were EXTREMELY professional. I didn’t feel like I got suckered into buying something I didn’t need or want. Usually I leave an oil change place feeling like I spent too much money. The guy recommended I not get some things done because I could wait. Really nice.

The Valvoline team did a great job! They replaced all of the fluids while I sat in my truck. They all worked together to get things done quickly. I had 5 different services done and it took them maybe 30 minutes! I used the Unilocal coupon and saved a bunch of money. Thanks again I will be coming back with both of my vehicles.

I came here because I had a Groupon for a full synthetic oil change (reg. $ 89.99, Groupon was for $ 45). I was able to drive right up and stay in my car while they did everything, which was pretty cool. The guy helping me, Sonny, was so nice and funny and helpful. I never felt pressured to get anything extra like a lot of places try and do and I really appreciated that. They made sure all my lights were working, checked other fluid levels and showed me that my oil was full once they were finished. They even checked the undercarriage and let me know that my skid plate was cracked. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely return here again.

I read good reviews about this place which is why I chose to come here for a regular routine oil change. The service was «EXCELLENT!» The assistant manager who helped check me in along with the crew members demonstrated really good communication and service from beginning to end. I was advised of a needed power steering fluid change to prevent any future problems which I plan to have done soon. This location was professional, knowledgeable, fast and efficient. I recommend anyone who is in need of an oil change to check this place out!

This place is awesome! This is my second time coming here and it really doesn’t take that long like it would normally do when you get an oil change at a dealership. You don’t need to make appointments for an oil change you just drive up.
It’s convienent and you just stay in the car. The staff are very knowledgeable, they a have coupon booklet of discounts & if you check into Unilocal there is a $ 10 off d/​c if you use synthetic oil!
Staff are nice and they tell you if you need other stuff changed and asks you if you want them to do it for you or not.
Good customer service, I honestly don’t know anything about cars so when they told certain stuff and I asked for a printout of what I needed because I wouldn’t remember what they just told me. Car language is a different language to me.
Will come here & really they don’t take that long.
5 stars for you!

Went here today to get my oil change. It was my first time and the staff who assisted me made me feel comfortable. I stayed inside my car, paid the bill (he asked me first if i have any kind of coupons for savings) and then i was out of there after 15 min. I will definitely come back for my next drive thru oil change :-)

When I have the time I don’t mind changing my own oil, but let’s be honest, how much easier is it if you have a lift, roll away drain can and all the other tools needed for an oil change in a few minutes. Mine takes me longer, maybe a lot longer.
I drive a lot, like 3 times the normal amount and oil changes for me come monthly. I’ve been on full synthetic Mobil 5W-​20 and FRAM synthetic specific upgraded oil filters for 150K on my main car.
I have to say this place is a well oiled machine servicing 4 cars every 15 minutes. It’s not just for oil changes, they do some quick and basic diagnostics like headlights, hi beams, brake lights, battery, tire pressure and top off fluids. They also have deals on windshield wiper blades/​installtions.
They have the nicest staff both working on and heading your transaction. It’s impressive the audio calls they have for each bay and the # of checks they have to do in a short amount of time. Though I prefer Mobil I was doing my brothers car who hasn’t moved to synthetic yet so I went 5W-​30 per oem spec.
The prices are fantastic when you use groupons (24 hours after confirmation) and coupons or Unilocal check ins. The only thing you typically have to pay is disposal fees. The staff is excellent, but the shared parking and tight entrance/​exit can be difficult to maneuver. My suggestion is to get food from El Pollo Loco, then loop back around for the oil change.
This is not a mechanic shop, this is not a dealership, they do oil changes and light inspections and so long as oil is all you need this place is great. They do battery changes and other things most can DIY, but for speed, price and convenience (open daily with slightly extended hours for most mechanics)

By the time you’re done flipping through a few of your favorite Instagram peeps or FB crushes, Valvoline will have finished your oil change cuz all they need is 15 minutes. I was in and out in no time. Everyone was pleasant and I didn’t get any up sell which was a nice surprise since mechanics are notorious for that kind of hustle. FYI. Their premium full synthetic oil changes are typically $ 89.99 but they have a groupon out for $ 45!
