The way I do errands is combine all of them together because obviously it saves gas and I think wear&tear should be taken seriously. As for Valvoline, my former neighbor, an auto mechanic, swears by the Valvoline brand oil. The most legit reason I came to this area was to get a fresh loaf at Bordenave’s .. and an excuse to go to Pink Owl Coffee! So, I went here (instead of the usual smoothly reliable Oil Changers place by Vintage Oaks in Novato) for my oil change. Reading the swarm of recent negative reviews at home after the errandathon, I had to look at my car out of nervousness - it looks fine to ME! I remember a brown-oil experience that brought me to the Novato branch resulting in the guys trying to sell me a list of services that totaled almost what I paid for my car. Now, I cut to the chase about this San Rafael branch. The group was excited to see me arrive like that army of workers jumping right to the truck that pulled into the gas station when Marty first comes downtown in 1955 in “Back to the Future.” “My crew” all communicated very well with the “salesman” together. They did a smooth job of changing a bulb on my central brake light that I never knew I had. The salesman was not aggressive at all as opposed to my Novato story. As for my own take, I can confidently declare that I am ready to drive my 20+ year-old car to Santa Rosa. It has good clean trusty-branded oil plus “an extra brake light” to aid me with that freeway full of Fast&Furious video game drivers. But, as opposed to my usual Oil Changers, they are seriously overpriced - I am glad I stuck to my plan to get my tires rotated at Cain’s (price). The thing about this location that really sucks is that it is difficult to get back onto 3rd Street because the exit driveway is block by red light waiters during a red light or a “Frogger” turn when the light is green. And, getting into town is very difficult due to the relentless right lane traffic.
