Bri is amazing and she knows exactly what shes doing. I havent even finished my service yet and shes been more informative and efficient than any other valvoline ive been too. She needs an exponential raise and plenty of praise 👏
I absolutely am disappointed and dissatisfied with my service and the fact I didn’t get everything I came for due to the horrible attitude of the worker and I leave and now have an oil leak really bad that I did not have before I came! I’ve never in life had these issues with Valvoline and her attitude was rude and…
Excellent service! The staff were all professional and polite. I went to get my oil changed, and they were kind when pointing out a few things that needed some TLC, including a brake light that has gone out. They were very quick with the oil light change. You have a returning customer!
Highly recommend this location, very friendly crew, very helpful tips. Quick service. Am coming back here for sure!

I absolutely am disappointed and dissatisfied with my service and the fact I didn’t get everything I came for due to the horrible attitude of the worker and I leave and now have an oil leak really bad that I did not have before I came! I’ve never in life had these issues with Valvoline and her attitude was rude and down right no manners at all! Ignorance showed up big time! She felt if it wasn’t in their system it wasn’t done. Education needs to be applied and somebody needs to fix my car because I had no issues!
