Great oil change experience! Dean was professional, articulate, upbeat, and the entire staff was attentive & quick yet conscientious about what they were doing... This is the only place I'll go to in Reno. Thanks, John read more

This team has it dialed in. They communicate well with each other, each person has their job to do and they are fast. The air filter price was a total ripoff at $31 but it was on the company card so I said yes anyway. read more

Pretty hassle free. Efficient oil changes to smog checks, will keep coming here. Prices are pretty reasonable as well.

Came in for an oil change and some other work. My bill came out to 300$ and their card reader wouldn't read my bank card. They told me to call my bank and find out why I have no funds. I literally showed them my bank statement and showed I had plenty in the bank to cover the fee. And after 10 minutes of making me feel broke, they said, OH we just needed you to input your 4 digit number. I was a bit pist. Get new card readers or teach your staff how to use them read more

I used to always go to 1 place for my oil change with my old car.. they are a good place but wanted to try a new place when I got my new car.. went to one place that was ok but the vibe/ feeling wasn't there.. the job got done but the service just wasn't right.. So then I decided to try valvoline..there's one down the street from me and i pass it alot and always been curious. They looked like a good company and I was right! I'm a uber driver so I need a oil change almost every other month so I need a good place that knows what they are doing and a decent price.. they checked all the boxes.. they are quick , good prices and the staff is always so nice and explains EVERYTHING to you.. from what they offer to what your specific car needs and what they can do there and they never pressure you into anything. They bring something to you attention and leave it at that. They even tell you what you dont really need or need at that time and not try to con you into getting something done just to get your money..they show you things as they are getting done and by the way, you dont leave your car as they work!.. I never feel dumb when I ask questions, never feel pushed into things, never feel like they aren't ever listening to me.i actually feel like they know what they are doing and aren't messing around. Amazing staff at this location. Most definitely will continue taking my business there. read more

Rigo and Chad made getting a smog check so easy and fast! Very friendly! Excellent customer service!

Friendly staff greeted me, not a long wait. Easy to wait in the car while the service happens, which was awesome! Dean was brilliant and helped me figure out tap to pay for my CC which I left at home, and was super helpful all the way around. I will now take all my cars here for oil changes. So easy and fast! read more

Both my husband and I brought our vehicles in for a basic oil change full synthetic 6 quarts and that went just fine(or so I thought I will get to that). However, my vehicle was done before my husbands so I pulled around to the side and parked in the only parking spaces the business has. I was then approached by an employee who very rudely stated I needed to move my vehicle because that was employee parking only and his coworker had just gotten back with everyone's lunch. I pointed out to him that I would have parked in the handicap spot as I am handicapped, but one of their employees who does not have a handicap, placard, or plates displayed decided to park there however I obliged and pulled out of the parking space. After I pulled out of the parking space I couldn't see the sign on the building that says customer and employee parking only. Which I was a paying customer. I had already paid for my service and I was waiting on my husband who was finishing up his service that I was also paying for. I parked my vehicle at the gas station and walked over to them and pointed out that that was very unprofessional to tell a paying customer who was handicap, but could not park in the handicap parking spot because it was occupied by someone who was not handicapped to move from Customer and employee parking for an employee to park. I decided to walk over from the gas station where I ended up having to park so tell them that that was incredibly unprofessional to tell a paying customer that they needed to move because it was employee parking only when it in fact was employee and customer parking and that it's not acceptable for them to have someone without displayed placard to be parking in the only handicap parking spot that the establishment has and nobody said a thing I was completely ignored. I walked back to my vehicle, sat down and an employee came out and approached my vehicle and apologized to me for being parked there that he would have his handicap placard in two weeks however if you don't currently have one legally you shouldn't be parking there. He stated he was going to move his vehicle however, during the last 10 minutes, I was there he did not move it. I went to another store and drove back by and he had still yet to move his vehicle, which means he had zero intent of actually moving his vehicle because clearly he doesn't care about the law and the ability of handicapped people being able to park in the designated handicapped parking spot. On the way home, my husband noticed that he could smell burning oil and there was a little bit of smoking from underneath the hood. He got home, popped his hood open, and they got oil all over the place underneath his hood, which was probably because they were upset that I confronted them in regards to the parking situation. I will not be taking eimy vehicles back to this location nor will I ever recommend them to any of my friends or family. read more

See all

The best oil change I've ever had. Very customer friendly and speedy service. At no point did I feel hassled or pressured. Most other places I've been to before always seems shady. This was the easiest process. Will definitely return. read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience at Valvoline Instant Oil Change. From the moment I pulled in, the staff greeted me warmly and explained every step of the process. The oil change was completed in under 20 minutes, and they even checked my fluids and tire pressure at no extra cost. What impressed me most was their honesty--no upselling, just straightforward advice about what my car needed. I only drive about 1000 miles a year and they point out I don't really "need" the oil change (I just prefer to do it once a year). It's rare to find a place that combines speed, professionalism, and genuine customer care, but Valvoline does it effortlessly. read more

********** I have been using Valvoline - North Valleys for over 4 Years, " You get, what you pay for, Excellent Service *******

Just decided to try this location for an oil change after using Jiffy Lube for many years. I am really disappointed that immediately I was pushed to try and upgrade to synthetic oil. Even though I told him I was not interested he kept pushing me telling my why I had to use that type of oil. I have had my oil changed at the Dealership before and was never told I needed synthetic oil.I don't plan on keeping the SUV too much longer as it is a 2018. So it is not time for me to be making changes now. Plus he tried to up-sell me on many services even though I had it in my mechanic shop for an inspection two months ago. My air filters are close to being changed out even though I changed them a couple months ago, probably due to the smoke so I took care of those myself. My biggest issue was him telling me I had not had an oil change for 15,000 miles when I never let it go over 5,000 and usually take care of it at 3,000. True that Jiffy Lube did not put the usual sticker in the window but we checked back in our papers and found it was 7,000 miles, our slip-up since we were dealing with many issues on our truck. So our vehicle was low on oil but there is not leaks and our driveway is clean. I don't like going into a business and having them talk down to me and not taking "no" for an answer. How I got out of there without spending a fortune was hard to do. Won't be back here. read more

Valvoline Instant Oil Change - back of receipt - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Reno, Nevada

So efficient and friendly. They explained what they were doing and cared about what they were doing

I went back to Valvoline today to get an oil change with the coupon code that customer service sent me. As soon as I said that I had the coupon I was treated horribly. I asked how much the oil changed cost and they said over 85.00 and I knew I paid 30.00 less the last oil change so I asked Chad what I paid last time and he said he couldn't look it up. I asked again and he told me he could but it would take too long. Chad yelled at me and said "If you don't like that price then go somewhere else." I asked him to not talk to me like that. I am 73, disabled with coronary artery disease. Then John Leffit came over and started yelling at me. My heart was pounding and I was so afraid. I told him I have a coupon from customer service and he got even angrier. He typed in the code wrong and said it didn't work. So I told him I would read him the code and it worked. Then he said " Don't ever come here again." I barely made it home to take my heart medication to keep me from having a full blown heart attack. Two grown men screaming at a Senior Citizen is disgusting and dangerous. I do not recommend this business any longer. Also on my 2nd receipt they sent me in the bottom corner it said " transmission leak" which they never mentioned to me and that they did not do a tire check which I specifically asked them to do! read more

Nathaniel helped me after I was given misinformation from another oil change place, saw for myself, so pretty frustrated after a wasted 2 hours on my Sunday. Nathaniel, Autumn & their crew (sorry don't have all the names) did a great job with great customer service. I really appreciated them today & will stick to this shop whenever I can. read more

Ordered a set of both rims and tires and had them delivered to this shop. Went and dropped off my car and decided to get an oil change as well. Came back a few hours later and everything was handled with care and car was kept clean. Will be coming back. read more

I didn't need an oil change. I wanted my serpentine belt replaced. I stopped in and asked if they did that type of work. To my surprise they did! All I needed was to provide the serpentine belt and they would replace it. They checked my belt I had on the truck and told me that mine was still good. Since I wasn't sure when it was replaced last, I still wanted it changed out. If your belt goes out, you're pretty much dead on the road and you can be in the middle of nowhere. So for my piece of mind, I had it replaced. It took them a few minutes to replace it. I sat in my truck while they did the work. I started the truck and they had me turn on the A/C and everything worked perfectly. I won't have to change the belt for long time now. The staff there were all professional. They did excellent work. They were quick, efficient and worked as a team. I'm going to bring my vehicles there for my oil changes next time. Great job guys! read more

I believe this was my first time writing a review for a non-food operation. My wife's Subaru was due for an oil change and as I was heading to Jiffy Lube as per usual, I drove past this Valvoline and noticed it wasn't busy, so I turned around and stopped. The signs were very clear where to go and I was directed to drive into an open bay. Once in, I was greeted immediately with a warm welcome. I was then instructed to stay in the car which was new me for me and quite fantastic! What impressed me was their professionalism, not only with me but with how they communicated and interacted with each other. I was speaking with someone almost the entire time someone was providing the service, the usual asking if I want an air filter, etc. No hard sales pitch though. Before I knew it, I was pulling out in just over 10 minutes! Truly the best oil change experience to date! read more

Each and every individual who has helped me has Always been professional and efficient! I can get my adulting in quickly!

I never had to get out of my warm car, what a luxury. They did all I asked and informed me of items that needed to be done at a later date, I felt no pressure. I will keep using them for my oil change needs because of their quickness and convenience but mostly because of the kindness offered by not having to get out of my car. Nice friendly people, honestly the only way to do such tedious tasks yet made to feel important. read more

Chad and the guys there here are awesome, very welcoming and bust butt to get you in and out. Never had any issues and are always extremely friendly and I'd recommend this place for any vehicle. They're very professional as well. read more

This is an outstanding business in every way. I went to the South Meadows location. The technicians are professional, knowledgeable, and polite. I went for the first time yesterday, and the technician, Jean Lafitte, said that I didn't need an oil change because of the low miles. He showed me the dip stick to make his point. Even though I didn't buy an oil change, he put air in my tires, refilled the cleaning fluid, and checked my windshield wipers for wear and tear. And for added convenience, you wait in your car while the work is completed. They also sell car batteries that take them less than 15 minutes to install. I highly recommend this extremely honest business to the public, you will not go wrong. Roy B. read more

Gorge and the staff were professional and very alert to the needs of my car They did not try to sell anything not needed All of them were doing a great jib(Tyler, Chad) Highly recommend! read more

Great service for a quick and professionally done oil change. Also, they check all other systems. You pay for it, but worth it if you don't have time to change your own oil. read more

They do a great job and don't try to pull a fast one you get unecessary work I will come back

This place is easily the best oil change/smog shop I've ever been to. They are all super professional and friendly. If could give them 10stars I would. I've been going there since they opened and would recommend it to all of my friends and family. Keep up the amazing work! read more

They have the nicest service and they are very efficient. Special thanks to Dean and Angel for being kind and taking care of us quickly.

Traveling through from Wisconsin was needing an oil change so decided to go to Valvoline Instant Oil Change in Reno on South Meadows Parkway. Pull right in to the bay and service techs, of which there was 5, immediately started their procedure to do an oil change. I felt like a race car driver pulling into the pits. With in a very short time the techs had the oil changed, notified me of other maintenance that will be coming up and I was out the door. Very friendly, professional, and diligent service. read more

What a great experience! Can't believe how fast the service was. Very professional too. I think the cost was comparable to what I usually pay at the dealer, but getting to drive up and get an oil change in between running errands sure beats having to get up early to get to the dealer before they get super busy. You can wait in your car during the oil change but since it's a hot day, I chose to wait in the waiting room. It was small but clean and comfortable. I think I was only in there a few minutes before they came to tell me it was done. Great job! I'll be back. read more

Quick oil change :) they also check your tires and lights and give you recommendations based on the actual and also manufacturer's recommendations. Ben was very helpful, explained everything. I would recommend. read more

This was the best oil change experience I have ever had. Dean and Mike were polite, helpful, informative and did not force any upsells, they did make some recommendations which I took them up on all except for the skid plate hardware replacement which should be a dealership item so I thanked them for the information and will follow up with the dealership responsibility. They were so pleasant and quic that I will be recommending this location to everyone and will definitely return thanks to the great service. read more

We received a post card coupon for $20 oil change as they recently opened and it was perfect timing that my car needed an oil change. We drove in to the garage and was greeted immediately. They serviced my car while my husband and I were in the car the whole time, 15-20 minutes tops. It was clean and professional. My husband and I will definitely come back! read more

I have constantly come to this location due to work and the guys at this location are amazing who go above and beyond. I stopped going to another competitor's location simply because of the fast response time and overall the customer service that is given here. read more

I do not know how the do their hiring here, but it is amazing, because EVERY employee is so kind, caring, and respectful. Will never get my oil changed anywhere else! read more

2013 Audi Allroad. The instant service was great; however, while the service guys were working on the vehicle from the bottom, I could hear and feel loud, unsettling noises of metal banging and a hammer torque drill. Once the service was complete, I drove off, and at an intersection, I could hear something fall from the bottom of the vehicle and then metal dragging. Quickly returned to the shop, and after another round of metal banging and hammer torque drilling, the protective metal plate was secure or somehow jimmy-rigged to fasten. I am not due for another oil service, but when it's time, I foresee not-so-good news from my original shop. This shop requires a scheduled oil service, and typically the vehicle is at the shop for 2-3 hours. Before going to the Valvoline shop, I called and confirmed they were familiar with German vehicles and could accommodate an oil service. read more
