    I came to Valvoline after a quick google search for oil changes in the area led me to their amazing reviews and I'm very glad I did! I've never had a drive thru oil change service before - they were all incredibly friendly, thorough, and do not pressure you into adding any services you didn't come for. Many thanks to Michael and his entire team of skilled technicians. I was in and out quickly and efficiently and did not feel intimidated once. Reasonable price (check out their coupons before you come in too!) and fantastic service from a fantastic team who get the job done!!! I will be coming back here for years to come. Thank you!

    Ive been going to Valvoline for oil changes for the past 3 years. San Clemente location is the closest to me and the most convenient and I've never had any issues. July 26th, I get there at about 10am. It's usually busy but it goes by pretty fast most times. Today it took about a little over an hour from the time that I got there to when I left. Thats not the issue although after everything, that was the cherry on top. I digress, the issue was the woman who works here with the butterfly tattoos and the glasses. She was so rude and unfriendly. 1st she let another car go before me even-though she knew I was there first. Then when I finally said something she didn't apologize her response was "she's not getting her oil changed yet". 2nd, I pop the hood and when she's looking at the engine filter and takes it out she tosses my filter on to the battery. Didn't place on top of the battery, she literally threw like a frisbee. The other guy grabs it and comes to show me (Brandon). So now im like watching everything she does after this because why is she handling my car parts that way?! 3rd she goes to put air on my tires while Brandon is talking to me and I notice she only put air in 3 tires (front passenger, back passenger, and back driver) and moves on to the next car. Brandon advises that the tires are good and they'll check the oil next at which point I have to tell him to check the front drivers side tire because she skipped it. He then asks her hey did you do all the tires, mind you shes already moved on to the next car, so she says no I didn't. He then adds air to the tire she missed. At the beginning of my interaction with her I thought she had a learning disability and I didn't want to make it a big deal but I was already feeling like she may put the wrong oil in or mess something up. Then I move up to get the oil changed, she comes back and pulls the hose with the oil, pulls it out getting oil all on the front passengers side ( which by the way I know you guys record audio and video but I wanted to have my own proof so at this point I have a video of that and at the end of my oil change, in your video you will see Brandon wiping the oil from the front of my car). She asked everyone if my car was ready for oil and proceeds to add the 4.40qts of oil that the guys reiterated to her( now I'm not even sure that she put in a.) the correct oil and b.) the correct amount) but she asks me to turn on the car and turn it off then pulls out what I guess is the oil stick wipes it, sticks it back in, takes the stick back out super fast its wobbling everywhere and she wipes it again does the same thing again and comes to the driver window to tell me "this is your oil" with the stick in hand and I'm like "what am I looking at" she goes "oil". Thats it that was her response, Just like that. I had to ask Brandon to explain everything to me, to show me again what I was supposed to be looking at because thats literally what her answer was. I had to ASK if my battery was oK, ask if the fluids were good and topped off. He let me know my bed pan was damaged. Nobody checked my cabin air filter or asked if I wanted it replaced which I'm only assuming it has to be replaced but I didn't get to see it because nobody checked so i'm not sure. My experience is usually as follows; Park, someone explains the status of my vehicle, same person explains what the next steps are and what they're about to do, then explains what my car needs, then does oil change, they take my payment and I'm confident that my car was serviced correctly and i'm on my way. Today was not that and I am not confident that I got what I paid for. Teach that woman to not take her frustrations out on your paying customers. Now i'll have to drive to another location because I will not feel safe with this woman servicing my car again if I were to come back. Hopefully she put the correct amount of oil and fluids in my car.

    Amazing! Abel and Bryant answered my questions. They went over my car maintenance record. Next scheduled visit I will definitely come back.

    Great customer service! Super fast service and always efficient. Never pushy and very informative with options. Brandon, the assistant manager was courteous, friendly and very attentive with explaining the process and what they suggested.

The oil change business noticed something was leaking underneath my Lexus. I had popped into the dealership later that day for them to review it only to be presented with an exorbitant costly repair. I tried to reach our usual mechanic who is Bob's up the street. He apparently had an accident and was unavailable at his location. Several people recommended Jay's and I was extremely grateful that he was able to take me with short notice and diagnose the problem. I was traveling out of state that week and preferred to use my own car. Dominic was able to squeeze me in. He and his technician stayed later that day to make sure that my repair was completed on time so I was able to take the car the next day. Very reasonably priced. Exceeded my expectations. Clean location. All around super professionalism. You definitely have won customer over and I will be back for additional repairs or general maintenance as will my spouse. I will definitely recommend. I cannot thank this business enough for truly going above and beyond.

Eric and Daniel went above and beyond. They performed a thorough inspection, explained everything clearly, and made sure we could safely make the trip home with our trailer. Their professionalism, honesty, and willingness to help turned a very stressful situation into a manageable one.
