I almost always go to Valvoline for my oil changes and the staff members are always very friendly and knowledgeable. They explain everything that should get done now and what can be done next time.

My truck needed an additional amount of oil (1.6 more oil) to be exact. The regular oil change only cost $48, however, the charge for this addition amount of oil was $19 more and seems disproportionate.

I've been a customer for many years and staff at this location is over the top. I did have a issue with your Chula Vista location. They perform a transmission flush and fluid over flowed and the chassis of my vehicle and exhaust system which left major oil smells in vehicle and made the suspension make sound it never made before. Chula Vista Hst location.

Super friendly staff from the moment theyu2019ve guided me in until they guided me back out. They explained everything they were doing and all in a timely manner. This is the only place I go for an oil change! They told me the things that were recommended for me to do with the car, but did not try to hard sell me.

I was in and out of there in probably less than 15 min! The staff helped immediately as I pulled up and went right to work on my car. I wish I remembered their names, but 3 people helped on my car, which showed me their teamwork attitude and showed me how willing everyone there is to work and help. This was my second time at this location and it was just as great of an experience as the first time!
