Excellent and detailed service. Anthony explained all the service. Made recommendations and the team did a very clearly thorough service. Lots of communications and accountability in their process. I recommend this place in the Woodcrest area. read more

First time coming to an instant oil change service, for context. I arrive and there are three cars having their oil changed at the same time, with no one else waiting in line. I line up behind a car and am waiting 10-15 minutes without anyone having come up to me at this point. Eventually, another person drives up and is immediately greeted and let known where to go, before I make confused eye-contact with the person who greeted them, given I wasn't told anything. After a few minutes, the man working there walks over to my car and lets me know to get into a different lane that will be finishing soon, so I do so. Turns out the person who arrived after me was placed into a lane that finished first, while I was placed into a lane that still needed more time, despite the additional time I spent waiting without having been instructed on where to go. Seeing that someone who had just gotten there was immediately greeted while I was only greeted shortly afterwards, despite having been in line for more than 10 minutes was already not the best experience, but something I was willing to let go. Realizing that I was given a spot where I would be waiting for an additional length of time after the person who got there 10 minutes after me was awful and enough to get me to leave. For context, if you are going there alone as a woman and don't have a newer model car, I would advise you not to go by yourself (or without a male companion). The whole experience felt discriminatory in and of itself. read more

I came in for an oil change yesterday, January 12, and was the only customer in the bay at the time. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and professional, so this message is not meant as an attack, just an important FYI. As is typical, I was offered additional services, and this time I agreed to have my air filter replaced. During that process, I personally observed the technician struggling to reinstall the air filter. He even told a coworker that he was having trouble getting it back in properly, and it was clear there was difficulty getting the part seated correctly. After I left, I noticed some mild shaking while driving, but it wasn't severe at first. I drove to Anaheim and, on the return trip, the vibration became much worse once I reached Corona. I assumed it might just need time to settle, so I waited until the next day. Unfortunately, the shaking worsened, especially when accelerating, and my check engine light came on. I took my car to my Honda specialist today, and he found that the intake tube connected to the air filter had been damaged. This was not an issue prior to my visit, my car was running perfectly before the oil change and air filter replacement. I'm not here to assign blame, but the timing and circumstances are concerning. I now have to pay out of pocket to repair damage that did not exist before this service, and it occurred immediately after the air filter was handled and struggled with during my visit. I wanted to make you aware of this situation so it can be reviewed and addressed internally. I will not be returning for future service, but I believe you should know what happened. read more

Valvoline sold me on getting a new battery...when took the old one out, they accidentally shorted my radio, warning lights n backup camera. Now it's been absolute hell trying to get it fixed.. All I was offered was an oil change voucher to playcate me n not fix the problem. Had to file an official claim with them n have yet to hear back yet. A true news nightmare...Location was on Railroad canyon road in Lake Elsinore... read more

Great service, no pressure easy and fast, clean and friendly service. Considering I was the last car of the night they made me feel welcome and helped me out getting my oil changed. Definitely will be coming back. Shout out to George! read more

Took too long and some lanes moved faster than others. I asked why and the reply I got was that they didn't know that lane was going to take so long. read more

When great customer service still exists! Just visited Valvoline, and as always, Michael and his team provided excellent service. Friendly, efficient, and reliable -- it's always a smooth experience with them. Appreciate businesses that still take pride in what they do! read more

Usually come here for oil changes due to the convenience and speed of service. Today was different. I was served by the manager, Brian, and Patrick performed the oil change. It normally goes well and smooth, and the was the case today. However, I especially wanted to shout out Brian. As I was looking around and just watching everything, he was bouncing from bay to bay, encouraging his employees. Saw him give multiple high fives to the workers and just generally encouraging them as they provided service. Everyone seemed to be on task and enjoying their jobs. Just wanted to come here and note it because it's not something you see everyday! read more

I have had my oil changed here a few times. Today I went just to get the air in my tires checked. Daniel helped me. He was so friendly and told me what to do if the tire pressure continues to be low. All the staff here is friendly and very efficient. read more

I did not feel seen or welcomed at all. I came in for an oil change, and wasn't acknowledged at all. The wait time was a bit long, but I wouldn't have minded the wait. Unfortunately, I was ignored. Not a single staff member approached my car to ask me any questions or do the routine pre check. It's disappointing when Valvoline usually has great customer service read more

My son suggested I take my vehicle in to Valvoline for an oil change because of the sit in your car while they do it (I'm pretty lazy). Patrick the gentleman that was getting all my info was awesome patient, clear, genuinely friendly not fake friendly,efficient, and thorough. With a bit of humor just enough to make my 15 minutes seem like 5. Patrick is a SUPER COOL DUDE! Thank you to the lady and other gentleman (I apologize I didnt get your names) for the hands on part. Im grateful to you for keeping my vehicle maintained and safe. read more

Back again for another Oil Change! This place is great. Reasonably priced and super fast. I don't put a lot of miles on my car, so. Don need to come in that often, but they check everything, which is great because I had a brake light burned out. Had them take care of it. Thanks so much guys! read more

Drove in got an oil change in about 20 minutes Jeanette the female helping me was real helpful told me everything that was right and wrong with my vehicle the other two gentlemen that were helping her take one of them was Brian also real helpful friendly will definitely come back thank you read more

Had my oil change here and it was so quick and easy. Shout out to the store manager Michael and his crew! Y'all are the best!

Staff was ok, pushy when it came to purchasing a new air filter, the technician came to my window and said "man, that's a dirty air filter" Asked me twice to check my lights after the first technician stated that they were all fine. Towards the end of the service, they mentioned that they noticed a leak of my transmission. I found it odd since there have been zero leaks in my driveway. When leaving my next destination, I noticed a puddle of clear liquid and noticed the leak when i pulled into my driveway. Again odd that I didn't see anything before, but now I have a problem that I need to go fix now read more

I have been here 3-4 times now, and all the staff at this location are so nice, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and professional! The service is quick and painless! I truly don't mind the annoyance of having to get an oil change when I come here! Keep up the great work!! read more

Went in for an oil change and a change of my windshield wipers. The employees were very quick and communicated everything they were doing. Offered other services but weren't pushy about them when I said no. They always honor coupons and have even offered me a better deal if they have it. read more

They did not tighten the screw at all and stripped 3 volts. And oil all over it. Cannot recommended this place at all

Last oil change my sister could not wait for me to do because she had to travel, she ended up going to this place a few months back. Did her oil change today to come to find out they rounded her drain plug bolts. Shhheeeessshh. Would not recommend going to them at all unless you want to come across some issues as such. read more

See all

Great service at competitive prices. Great recommendations with explanations yet not aggressively upselling. Take all my cars here, in and out fast at market prices. read more

Customer Service is amazing!! They talk to me normal. Which is very refreshing these days, when people see a woman coming and see $signs, NOT here. Thank you!! read more

You know, it took these guys about 2.5 hours to change my oil, because the kid changing the oil jarred one of my sensors out of place and the car started convulsing and shaking when I tried to drive off. I drove back, and they spent about 2 hours trying to figure out what was going on. I'm not faulting the technician. Accidents happen. But the owner drove in to see what was going on and didn't even acknowledge me. He didn't apologize, ask how I was doing, nothing. He didn't even offer a partial credit for eating over 2 hours of my time in a place that prides itself for quick oil changes. And to add insult to injury, I expressed my displeasure to the technician, and he told me he would get a partial credit on my Visa. That credit never came; it was all a bunch of BS. Lesson learned! Go to a mechanic that knows what he's doing. read more

Extremely over priced and they only carry Valvoline oil. I guess this is the only way they can get this low quality oil in anything besides a lawn mower read more

Spoke with Joseph. He totally hooked up and it was fast and friendly!! Amazing service great prices! I will be coming back read more

Valvoline Instant Oil Change - Super quick! Super friendly - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Riverside, California

2 minutes ago NEW Took my wife's navigator in for an oil change and tire rotation today and It was a terrible experience. Waited 15 min and drove in. The tech scanned my car, checked all my lights and opened the hood. After talking with me for a few minutes and realizing that I'm a regular there he tells me he has another customer in the far lane who was waiting alittle bit longer and I would need to pull around and wait again. He said' "your a cool guy, a regular and I'm sure you will understand just go ahead and pull around". It caught me off guard and I was surprised that even though my lane moved a bit faster then the other guy, I couldn't believe they were gonna hold that against me and stop me in the middle of my service just to make the other guy happy. So I asked the tech well how about closing my hood so I can drive around and he said it's ok just leave it open so we don't have to open it when you pull around. After I pulled forward I got out and closed it myself. This was the worse service I've ever had at a car maintenance related business and I would never go back. I own 5 vehicles and always had these guys service them but never again!!! Jiffy lube here we come!!! read more

Awesome shop. The guys are professional, fast and friendly. Pat - thank you! We will be back. read more

Valvoline Instant Oil Change - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Riverside, California

I had my oil and oil filter changed here yesterday (7/22/2022). It cost me an arm and a leg, granted my vehicle is a GMC pick up w/ diesel motor, 10 qts of synthetic oil. This morning I found an large oil spot on my garage floor. After checking I found oil filter loose. Thankfully I found this as I'm going on a long trip. I will never use this facility again and recommend others from using it as well!!!! read more

I came to get an oil change on my Ford Flex today, and I was politely greeted by a very nice gentleman (who ended up telling me he was the assistant manager when I left), he asked if I'd ever been there or to a drive thru oil change at all, and I said no. He was extremely friendly, informative and not at all pushy to get me to purchase any additional services. The oil change was VERY fast (I'd say less than 10 mins), and the other employee, who's name I didn't catch but was a female was extremely kind was well. I will definitely be back for all our oil changes from here on out. The fast and friendly service was amazing. read more

Sent my daughter over to get my oil changed in my Honda CRV. They Talked her into getting a new windshield wipers for $60. Guess what I won't be back! You people rip off unsuspecting young women because they don't know! I'm very mad! DONT GO HERE! read more

This place is AWESOME!! it was super fast, super clean and SO easy to get my oil change done. I cannot say enough good things about this place. The manager was friendly and very efficient. He was informative without over selling items. The crew that changed my oil went through all of the filters, they did a thorough safety inspection, topped off fluids. Everyone was so very kind and personable. I didn't even have to get out of my vehicle and I was out of there in no time. I had my own personal "pit crew!" Please give this place a try because you will not be sorry for stopping in to get your vehicle serviced. They are the best!!! read more

By far one of these best Valvoline's I've been too! The store manager is really nice & it honest about what needs to be replaced. Definitely will be coming back to this location for now on! Thank you so much. :) read more

I've taken my car here a few times, and the staff is amazing. Patty helped me yesterday, and her customer service was out of this world. Very polite, showed sincere care for the small talk we were having, and I left feeling great about my interaction. I looked at other reviews and they are laughable. I work and build old cars as a hobby, and have every tool necessary to do routine maintenance, but hate doing it. I have no issue paying extra, to sit and relax, have good conversations, and have my maintenance done. If you are worried about paying a convenience fee, do it yourself, and stop complaining about price. A price which I feel is very reasonable, and very well laid out BEFORE they did any work. All in all, the employees seem happy, and I think it's an excellent entry job to lead them into a mechanic career, and Valvoline obviously takes care of them. I'll continue to support this business! read more

These folks are AMAZING! Every single time I come they treat me so well! Queen Kaley and her team work together to make the experience very enjoyable and a complete ease! read more

Valvoline Instant Oil Change - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Riverside, California

They knew about cars. I have a classic gen 3 Chevrolet and they treated it as such. They did not force or encourage additional work, but they did inform me that I have a small oil leak (which I knew about). The rear engine sear is leaking a bit.. The work was done quickly and they ensured the work was done by showing me the oil level. I really like their invoice system. I got an email from them detailing the work. I highly recommend them and I will be back. Five Stars read more

Awesome staff, and very fast. Went on my lunch break and still had time to grab some food. Don't forget to tip :) read more

Very quick and easy service. It's worth the money especially not waiting HOURS at the dealership for simple oil change. This location has great employees who gave extra tips on keeping our engines healthier and ensures durability for the cars. I don't usually write reviews but this place here is definitely something to look at considering how quick and easy their service is. read more

Stars?? How about NO STARS.. I took my car to Valvoline Instant oil change at 18681 Van Buren Boulevard in Riverside, California for an oil change. The next days after the oil change, I was getting oil drips on my driveway. I never got oil drips from this vehicle.. So I took my car back to the same Valvoline to check why it's leaking. The technician said it looks like it's coming from the oil drain bolt, so they tried to tighten it again. The technician advised me that the drain plug is now spinning in place after the technician tried to re-tighten (meaning the threads stripped). I spoke with Art (Valvoline district manager) and Frank (store manager) that no matter what type of vehicle, they all have specified torque rating amounts on bolt tightening. Any over tightening will result in stripping/damage of a bolt. Art stated the technician did not over tighten. I said then why would the technician tell me they tried to re tighten the drain bolt and it's spinning. I told him they are responsible for stripping the oil drain bolt and the irreparable damage of the oil pan. Worst customer service ever!!!! Be very careful going to a Valvoline. read more

We happen to be in town for an event and figured why not "instant" and it needs to get done. We were in and out in 15 minutes. Marcus and Jay Fifth were so helpful and informative. We were also able to get out Power Steering Prm Field Replacement done too. It was recommended and we knew that our last Jeep service it needed to be done. Thanks for the great quick service! read more
