I will not be going here again. Went in for an oil change because I had a coupon for $12 off. They never just want to change the oil and are very pushy too add extra service. The girl technician even took out my cabin air filter and said It needs to be changed. Even though it was still very white and clean. When I declined she put it back in but didn't bother to put the cover back on. Causing cold air to blow in the passenger side even when the heater was on. I do understand they may get commission but when I say "just the oil change" stop pushing. read more

Valvoline Instant Oil Change - Cabin air filter cover left laying on floor - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Martinez, California

Very impressed with the fast and efficient service at this location. It was my first time here, and they were amazing. Super friendly and did not push any additional services. Even showed me my air filter and said it did not need replacing, as it was still pretty clean. I've been to some places were they say I should replace, but know its not true since my husband does the air filters. Also liked that got to stay in my car while they worked, and was out in 8 min. Will definitely be back for my next oil change. read more

Needed an oil change and other things done. Did not want to go to the dealership. I went to Valvoline Instant oil change in Martinez on a recommendation from a friend. I went over and there a couple of cars ahead of me. I was checked in and asked me what service I needed that was due besides the oil change and I was not pressured to get it, ensured lights were good, tire pressure, also if I needed new wipers. Got all the services I requested, they said they had coupons that they'll apply to save some money. Good value, save money from going to the dealership, most of all my car is running smooth. read more

Excellent great job. Quality Service value for money. Amazing service. Come back again next time. Thank you.

I visited Saturday July 12th. I was assisted by Rob who was very professional and helpful. The service was extremely quick which I appreciate! I'll definitely be back for my 90,000 mi service! Thanks, Rob. read more

This Valvoline place is hands down the best compared to other Valvoline places. The Service Manager Jaime is superb and very well-mannered gentlemen. All the people there are friendly and nice. It's no wonder they have the highest rating in the East Bay. read more

Still no follow up. Ruined my oil pan. Bad bad bad. Run don't walk. Called the customer service team. No call back. Even sent a video from the dealer of the damage they caused. read more

Recommending the Valvoline Instant Oil Change on Alhambra near the high school. I used the 20% off total invoice coupon in the Val-Pak mailer and my total came to $56.87 because my Subaru uses 6 quarts of oil, not 5. What impressed me most was I never felt pressured or upsold and they are very thorough in their 18 point courtesy check. I've never had any quick lube place check my lights, brake lights and turn signals. Everything is on camera - above and below the car. read more

Got an oil change from an amazing team, Jeff, and other Jeff and Rob. Got in and out super quickly on a Tuesday afternoon no less! The price is fair and I would happily pay again for the amazing service. read more

I'm screenshot a coupon from the website on 1/10/24. It was for a $27 oil change, when I looked on the website while pulling into the oil change center, The coupon was gone. the only coupon was for $10 off, but mine was clearly from your website with the website at the top and the date present and the expiration date was not passed.I got a bunch of back-and-forth over whether the coupon was going to be accepted, I was told that I could not present coupons on my phone. It had to be straight from the website it could not be a screenshot which doesn't make sense because the website gives me the option to save it to my phone. The girl who assisted was really rude and snarky even about the different things that I needed on my car, like an air filter and my brake lights instead of being empathetic and explaining in a helpful way she was more so snotty that I did chose not to receive services from you all. I chose to get a conventional oil change because that was all that I could afford at the time but she made me feel like it was not good enough and that I needed to get a synthetic oil change. I could only get what I could afford.Overall, I was not happy with my experience, but the manager did end up honoring my coupon. Additionally, my girlfriend came here and had the same problem! One of the workers mentioned "we don't even get that big of a discount", well understand, we did not make the coupons they were provided by your institution! She then had to come back because her caps were loose and she was dripping fluid. read more

I honestly cannot say enough good things about the entire crew here. I just got my oil change done in less than 10 minutes. 10 minutes!!!! For someone like me with limited spare time, worth every penny. These people are all superstars providing prompt and quality service and experiences. Thank you so much Zavier, Jerry, Forrest, and Cole!! Definitely coming back read more

Super quick. The gentleman there were very friendly, straightforward and quick! Service went well , I did an oil change it only took 15 minutes! Price was reasonable as well and if you call them they will send you a $10 gift card through your email! Very pleased! Will be back again! read more

This business stands behind their word and gives a quality service. Technicians always very friendly and helpful.

The staff here is very friendly. The crew provides a fast and thorough service. In and out in under 30 minutes with an oil change and rear diff fluid replaced. read more

Service was done competently, but upcharging is aggressive. If they offer to change the cabin air filter, it can be costly for a $10 filter and 45 seconds of time. Tell them to tap the old one on the floor and put it back in. read more

Had a great experience. $15 off coupon and love the range of additional services available like differential fluids, power steering etc. Will definitely be back for future oil changes. read more

Always great service, Mark is the one you want working on your vehicle he is extremely knowledgable and has great customer service. I have been taking my car to him when he was at a previous oil change company as well as the few locations hes worked at with this company because hes the only one i trust working on my car. I also have family members ive referred that have followed him store to store as well. The prices here are also very fair and theres always a coupon online. read more

Nothing but good things to say about this place. This is my second time coming. I expected there would be a long wait on a Saturday, but there was only one car ahead of me. I only waited about 15 minutes & the oil change itself was no longer than about 10 minutes. Adam helped me & he was super nice and knowledgeable. He noticed my engine air filter was really dirty & suggested a replacement. My car is way overdue for service (like 7k miles over, oops) so he wasn't trying to con me. Best of all, I was able to use a 20% off coupon which was off the entire total not just the oil change. Very impressed Thanks Adam! read more

After coming here for years i will not be returning ever again. Came in for the usual oil change and asked to have my trans fluid topped off. The new girl working there completed the oil change then proceded to add transmissiom fluid. I make my payment and go on my way. Im driving the next day to work and start to feel transmission slippin and checked the dip stick was bone dry. Obviously the tech did not add the proper ammount of trans fluid. Called corporate to explain the situation. They told me They saw her add 1.5 quarts which is no where near enoigh to top it off. They told me they arents going to help with either parts or labor . Avoid this place 100%. They will fuck your car up and take no responsibility. Hope everyomes sees this. Since this place has had all the new hires its really turned to shit. read more

Do not bring your car here! I recently had my oil changed at this location, soon after I noticed oil leaked on my driveway which the car never had a problem with. Come to find out that they did not tighten the oil filter down and oil was leaking out. It was loose a full turn! The whole underside of my car was covered in oil and has stained my driveway that I just spend thousands replacing. Not to mention if I wasn't perceptive this could have ruined me car if the oil all leaked out. This is a rookie mistake and I will Never be returning to have my oil changed here. I would not take you car here for anything. If I am unable to remove the stains I will be reaching out to the company. read more

They were cery friendly! Helpful. In and out. They did show me the new oil in place. Didn't oversell garbage services like I've seen other places. I will be back read more

Wow! What a breath of fresh air. From the person who answered the phone when I called to ask some questions about pricing to how I was greeted when I first arrived. I have generally been a firm believer in taking my car to the dealership. However, the wait time has gotten longer at Concord Kia so I have decided to venture out. Some of the drive through oil changing places are below average but not this one. Kiana, you are a rockstar! You really know how to treat people. You made me feel right at home immediately. Your tender words and kindness made me feel at ease and I just wanted to listen to your recommendations instead of tune you out. Kiana explained everything throughly and made everything make sense. She honored a coupon that I had and it helped to cover an additional service that my car needed. She also educated me on services my car was likely due for even though they didn't offer it there. Education, gentleness, and the heart of a servant, what a combination. This place is blessed to have you Kiana. As long as I am treated this way, I will continue to get my oil changed here. I was in and out in no time and my Kia was serviced and feeling good again. Thank you for making my experience so wonderful and I look forward to seeing you again! Be blessed and keep smiling and helping people! You're a gem read more

Went there today! Best Experience, I've had in years.. Richard, Erica, Justin were awesome. I will be back~ Easy and clean and only 15 minutes maybe 20'cause I'm a talker.. Great Customer Service read more

We have 3 vehicles and often get oil changes. But have no go to spot. Finishing up an oil change here rt now. The entire staff is incredible! 3-5 people working non stop on the inspection, checking, double checking, and the quality and speed is unprecedented. Def coming back here. read more

I was looking for Oil Express and realized the place changed, I guess these guys bought it out. I got in super fast and they were done in record time. The workers are extremely communicative and the place runs like a well oiled machine (hehe). Honestly though, it's impressive. The only thing that didn't happen is the re-setting of my check engine light that had turned on as a reminder to change my oil. I don't know if they forgot to reset it, but I had already pulled away and had to get back to work so I couldn't go back. I'll have to figure out what to do about that. I randomly found the 20% off code and used it, $46 for a conventional oil change. Not too bad. If you need to get your oil change done quickly at a competitive price this is your place. read more

Cannot begin to recommend this place enough, I pulled up to this location on Friday to see all girls!!! They run a tight ship and don't push services onto you. Especially thankful for the one who was working bay two with clear glasses. I came back to the shop because I thought my oil was leaking, and she took the time to check it out and ensure everything was all good! Thank you so much!! read more

GREAT SERVICE!....friendly...working quickly and with smiles! Highly recommend....The only place I'll go from now on for an oil change! read more

Down right aaaMazing service! My vehicle was in dire need of some TLC. Technicians Beautiful and Kiana were super skilled and friendly.

Took my girlfriend's car to get an oil change on Sunday morning 11/26/23. After turning my car off they asked me to turn my car back on and readjust my position in the bay. Unfortunately the battery died and I was unable to do so. I instantly offered to put it in neutral and back up into a parking spot so I could call someone or walk over to Walmart and buy a battery. I was told no that service has started and that is not aloud. The manager was working with me at this point. She told me she would ask her employees for jumper cables and to jump my car to finish service. Nobody had cables which is hard to believe as they all work on cars for a living but no worries it's my fault that I didn't have any. She then offers to test my battery which they do. She tells me It's not dead but is very close to dead. She then offers me a battery for $240. (I asked why it was so expensive and she told me that THEY are the ONLY ones who offer a 3 year warranty) I teetered on this for a min because she was making me feel like it was my only option. I initially agreed to the battery and shortly after changed my mind as $240 is a ridiculous price. I offered to walk over to Walmart to buy a battery which I was told no this is not aloud and I can't work on my car in their bay and they can't work with parts that aren't theirs, which is understandable. After declining the battery the manager asked me to put my car in neutral and that they would push me into a spot. At this point the key is locked and I'm stuck. The manager then stopped working with me, walking away from the Situation completely and was clearly visibly irritated. She was yelling at her employees who were just trying to help me and other customers at the time. I called someone to come give me a jump and let them know It would take about 25 min which she was clearly agitated at. They went ahead and finished the oil change despite earlier saying that they couldn't do this without the car being able to start. Once my person arrived to jump my car he was able to see that a terminal was loose on the battery and that this is probably what caused the car to die...not the battery being dead. Upon getting the car jumped they checked oil levels and I was on my way. I went home and let the car run and tightened the screw on the terminal. Car has been running perfectly fine since. I also went to Walmart and saw that they offer 1, 3 and 5 year warranty's on batteries lol. Pretty shitty customer service of the manager in my opinion. She treats her employees with no respect when things go south and it felt like she tried to pull a fast one on me. The guy that was helping me was super cool and understandable about my situation. He got yelled at several times by the manager during my visit which should have been handled calmly and in private if they were real issues. (They didn't seem like real issues) read more

I came during my lunch break thinking I needed about an hour, it was literally only 15 minutes. They inspected my car and didn't push any services. Only paid for an oil change and didn't pay more than what I needed to pay for. Happy costumer. I will be back. read more

Great service! We always get our oil change here. Today we needed some windshield washer fluid and we drove in and they filled us right up. No charge! Shout out to the two lovely ladies who served us. This is the way to run a business. read more

This place was great! They were professional, fast, and friendly. Justin, the manager was knowledgeable, and we had some good conversation while I waited 10 minutes for the oil change. I would highly recommend this place, and will go back. Thanks guys! read more

Had oil change service on 4/17/2024 at the Martinez location. Oil change was fine although a bit pricey at $135. However, an apparently inexperienced tech crushed MAF/IAT engine harness when removing/replacing air filter for inspection. Truck subsequently displayed 3 air flow and temperature DTC codes. Was repaired by local mechanic for one hour labor plus a few parts. Previously responded to a Valvoline corporate review email but have not received any follow-up that was requested. If you have service done I would suggest oil service only. Do NOT let them touch anything else! read more

The female manager, whose name I forget, did my oil change last month. They actually made the experience fun. It's nice to see staff enjoying their jobs. I arrived 15m before they closed, and I was treated excellent. I highly recommend visiting the professional and friendly staff at Vavoline Martinez read more

We had work done in Bakersfield and the transmission was leaking. We were on business so we found the closest Valvoline center and we came to the one in Martinez. They were so helpful and so wonderful. They owned the issue for the other location. The service attendants were amazing and friendly. Highly recommend this location. Great job read more
