On 1/9/2026, at around 1:40pm ET, I had one of the *single worst customer service encounters at in…read moremy 55 years alive* The manager of the store, Joshua , who was the tech we interacted with was rude and unprofessional, to such a degree that I hope his area manager will investigate how he treats other customers and his colleagues. Here's what happened, as objectively as I can describe it: My 20 year old daughter and I arrived at this Valvoline location to get her an oil change before she heard back to school. She was driving and I was the passenger. I had purchased a Groupon for the oil change and didn't realize that the Groupon was potentially location specific (the voucher had an address for a location in Hampton VA included on it). I had saved the voucher to my Google wallet, and when Joshua tried to scan it, it didn't work. He immediately started telling his team to stop their work. I looked at him and said "Can you give me a minute?" That is literally all I said.My tone was normal, neither rude or confrontational. I just wanted to see if I could figure out what was going on with the Groupon. In the blink of an eye, Joshua turns to the employee in front of the vehiclenand tells them to close the hood, as we won't be getting an oil change. In disbelief, I started saying, loudly, "Are you serious? I literally said 'can you give me a minute?' that's all I said!!" Joshua replied with " you're being rude, you won't be getting an oil change here today". I replied with "You have no idea the lengths I will go to to hold a grudge." And I mean that. This review is just the first step in the personal campaign I will now pursue to see Joshua relieved of his duties as a manager at Valvoline, as he clearly isn't well suited for dealing with customers. Epilogue: After leaving this Valvoline, we drove down Midlothian turnpike to their location on Midlothian turnpike across from Chesterfield Town center. I explained to the tech there that we have a Groupon and explained the address issue on the voucher that I described above. He said he would be happy to help us see if we can figure it out. He tried scanning the voucher saved to my Google wallet and it didn't work, which wasn't a surprise. He said "It's just coming up as zeroes" which made me realize maybe it's a Google wallet issue -- so I opened the Groupon app, pulled up the voucher in it, and it worked fine ( with the store address not being an issue at all). If Joshua has just given me the ONE MINUTE I requested to try pulling up the voucher in the Groupon app, there wouldn't have been any problem at all. Joshua- I hope you see this. And the review I'm going to leave on Google. And the letter I'm going to send to Valvoline corporate. I have been a very happy customer of Valvoline for many years, at many locations. YOU shouldn't be representing their business, and I have a hunch that if today is an indication of how you treat customers, you won't be for very long. Services Oil change

Since they did not complete the service I said I should not have to pay for it. They would not let me leave, I was in the garage, with the doors shut, I felt intimidated so I paid so I could get out of there. Had to drive directly to Toyota dealership to see if my truck was even safe to drive. I contacted Valvoline corporate the same day and they stated I would be contacted with 2 business days, that was now over a week ago with no contact. I would leave no stars if possible.

I asked them to check my ac coolant and before starting work on it asked what the issue was. I told them my brother thought I should have it checked out and they said it's cooling great already.

I called around to a few places to find a place that worked on diesel cars and they said they did. When I showed up there was lots of confusion about my car. Wrong parts were used and eventually they determined they didn't have the part my car needed. I was advised to come back the next day, still no part. Day 3 at first they told me they didn't have the part then a second person came to correct the first so I was finally able to get my oil change. I thought everything was good until I went to get my car inspected...something was wrong with my car. Wrong filter and I had an oil leak (I'm not a car person but I'm pretty sure that was it). So I had to take my car to VW to get the work done correctly. This place was a waste if my time and money. I would never return.

I pulled in and was immediately greeted by a tech to tell me which lane to go in. I only had waited about 5 minutes until the car in front of me was done. I pulled in and the tech was super friendly. I asked a lot of questions and he answered all of them. I believe his name was Nathan and he was one of the assistant managers. I literally sat in my car the whole time and was in and out literally in 10-15 minutes!! They don't just do oil changes, he checked all of my lights, horn, signals etc. Also, if you are a first time customer, you get $5 off! I'm glad I stumbled across this place because I will definitely be coming back!! *This place is also Veteran owned and operated, much respect!*

I was not satisfied and definitely felt it wasn't worth the value. I was not rude to ANY of the employees. In fact, I had more patience than other people would give them. And one of the employee was rude, when I declined something I didn't want done. He said, "You get what you paid for!" Ummmm His job is not to give attitudes to customers. I didn't ask for his opinions, just to get my oil change done. He lacks basic customer service skills. I've known mechanics you didn't act like him. I was so annoyed with the Take 5 employees, I went to a different business to have my oil change done months later. They charged me less and did the same work. And the other business is ACTUALLY HONEST with people. Of course, the other business is on Broad St as well. It was my first and last experience with Take 5, I will never come again. Seems like the Take 5 employees get a honest review they asked for!!
