    housing

    Went for an oil change 2 hours after purchasing a used car from my cousin. 2012 Toyota Camry. I spent 2 hours getting my oil filter & "84 housing" completely ruined. First- they told me my filter was melted to my car & I should take it to a shop to get done. Before I left, they checked if it was leaking & it was so they said they had to take the filter off there. I waited. My car was shaking, being beat on Next- they asked my how close I lived because I should just take it straight home & get it towed to a shop. Myself. My response- "If something is wrong w my car now and I leave your property, whatever is wrong w it is on me-so i'm not leaving" They spent the next half hour trying to figure out what to do / tell me. The manager working called their higher office manager & they offered to tow my car "wherever i wanted" so I asked them to tow it to Toyota (I was told it would be taken care of before the end of the day) I went by the next day & my car was still there so I stopped in & asked for all the pieces taken off my car so I could give them to Toyota myself. The employee I spoke to was not present the previous day, I asked him to call the manager that was here when I was. The employee left the manager on speaker phone & I overheard him say my car was worked on (without my permission) the next day after we agreed my car would be towed. I was told they had a manager from another store come by so they could try and figure out what was wrong. They proceeded to tell me that the oil change that was done before was done by someone unexperienced, and they used Teflon tape to hold things in place. I then told them I had the receipt for the last oil change. This car had gone to the same place the entire time it was owned by my cousin. Full history. After this they say my car needs to go to their shop to get a quote on repair per their policy but I can take it wherever I want after that. after they got a quote from their shop, they told me that I needed to pay for my own tow to wherever I wanted it to go even though they're the ones that said they would pay for the tow wherever I wanted. Personally, I think if they needed another quote per their policy, they should still abide by towing my car where I wanted after they completed what they needed to. Not wanting to push this any further since I needed a car, I called AAA and just had them tow it to Toyota for my own quote. Turned out to be a 6k repair to my "84 housing" and Valvoline did pay for it which I am clearly happy about. My main concerns here- They can't do in oil change on a 2012 Toyota Camry, a very common car They do not abide by what they say It took close to 2-3 months to get my car back for an oil change.. The same location failed to put oil in my dad's engine... Just stay clear of this place.

    Even though they were busy, I didn't feel like the wait was to long. Through and professional, they took care of all my needs.

    Valvoline near Northgate shopping center. My car was next in line to be serviced. Manager had me…read moreback up, move to other bay behind a suv. He had another customer move into the spot I was in. The suv in front of me was getting multiple services which the manager knew before I got there. While I waited behind the suv four cars went thru the bay I was in when I got there. I believe the manager got upset because he couldn't upsell me to a $101.00 oil change. This is the Valvoline I always come to. Only second time I've seen this manager. The other employees are extremely polite and professional. First time I encountered this same manager 3 oil changes ago I told him I have my owners manual in the glove box and checked the oil I required from the Chevrolet website. He thinks I should take his word over theirs. In any event, he does not get to inconvenience a repeat customer because they don't allow him to upscale them.

    I have been to different Valvoline Instant Oil Change stores in the past with mixed results…read more However, my experience has ended any chance of me or my family ever going back. We had just purchased our daughter a 2014 Ford Focus and wanted to make sure it had everything it needed, starting with a fresh oil change. We pulled into the open bay and the Representative explained what he and the staff would be doing to the car. He explained they would check the fluids, check the battery, top off the fluids and change the oil. He had recommended a radiator flush, which I declined at first. But after some consideration, I decided to purchase this service also. The work was done fairly quickly and we had been told everything had been checked. We left there feeling confident everything was fine. This feeling vanished after we parked the car in our garage. The car made clicking and whirring noises. Finally, after several minutes, everything shut down. I had suspected the battery had went dead, but how could that have happened when it had been checked? Unfortunately, (according to the 2 invoices we had received), it had NOT. Neither the Rep nor his staff checked the battery. If they had, they could have told us we needed a new one. That, alone would have saved us so much time and aggravation. Our daughter's newly purchased 2014 Ford Focus was STUCK in our garage for almost a day and a half. We had to contact AAA and purchase a battery from them, just to get the car out of our garage. The entire experience cost us time, $174.00 for a brand new battery, one car stuck in our garage, and a store which seemingly can't do what they had promised. Please do yourself (and your car) a huge favor: AVOID this place, at all costs.

    I am always a bit trepidatious when going to a new oil place because I have definitely had my share…read moreof places that try to sell me things I don't need. Pfefferle, was not one of those places. I pulled into the driveway to get my car serviced and it was packed. I almost left because I figured it may be awhile, but the tech assured me that it was only going to take about 30 minutes or so and with, all my traveling, I can tell you my car Is probably running on mud right now instead of oil... yikes. So, 30 minutes wasn't too horrible. I went inside and most of the chairs were full in the waiting room, but they had a tv playing horrible soap operas and a full pot of fresh coffee. I stood around for a few, and realized they had a stack of magazines that had some unusual titles. I'm an artsy type and they had, sitting on the top of the stack, "International Artist." I was pleased and parked my butt in an empty seat. The guy at the front desk was very nice and took my info. My car has lots o miles, so I told him I wanted the oil that would make it purr like a kitten again instead of an asmatic old lion. I presented a coupon to him and he nodded in acknowledgement. I sat back down and watched him greet several of the regulars by name, and that's always a good thing in my book. After awhile they came in and showed me how dirty my air filter was and I cringed... I knew this visit would entail more than an oil change because it had been a pretty long time since I'd brought my car in for service. After about 10 more minutes he came in and said my serpentine belt was bad, and I had a feeling it was so that was no shocker. Well, my 30 minutes turned to about an hour. Not a huge deal, but I think they had to order my serpentine belt from another shop. What I am bummed about is that they didn't tell me, and my boyfriend overheard them ordering it from another shop. Had they set that expectation of my wait, I would have been fine. When I was all done and ready to pay, the guy told me that my coupon wasn't valid because I used a more expensive oil. I probably looked like someone kicked my puppy because the original guy never told me that. For a high mileage oil change, fluid top off, air filter, and serpentine belt I was looking at $160. After he realized the first guy had been told about my coupon, he gave me a $10 discount. I was happy again! He also gave me a loyalty card that gives me my 6th oil change free. Bonus!! The thing I liked the most about them, is that they could tell my car had some issues while starting, and they offered some ideas and mentioned that the auto shop up the street was theirs too. I can say that I will definitely be back here, and I may even try out their auto shop. The service was great, and my car's asthma is silenced for a bit. :P

    Our maintenance required light was on in our minivan, dropped it off to Pfefferly for an oil change…read moreand confirm there was no other issues. They had everything replaced in no time at all. Love having a trustworthy locally owned & operated company that provides quality service in a timely manner.
