Valvoline Instant Oil Change -8638 West Adams If you are looking for an honest and trustworthy place for your vehicle maintenance, you have to check out the Valvoline on 8638 West Adams. I went in for a standard oil change, but my car had an oil leak. The team didn't just ignore it--they took the time to identify exactly where it was coming from. In doing so, they helped us discover a much larger issue that needed attention. Honesty: They were completely transparent about the state of my car. * Generosity: Because of the leakage issue, they actually waived our oil change fee. * Great Crew: The entire team was professional and knowledgeable (shoutout to the female mechanic on staff--she was great!). * Top-Tier Service: They prioritize the safety and longevity of your vehicle over just making a quick buck. It is rare to find this level of integrity in auto care. I truly appreciate their help and will definitely be back! read more

Meh. Lady manager was pretty good. Weirdo tech kept bothering me and passing out stupid comic con postcards. They cant service transmission fluid. They cant replace a belt. If you can't do this stuff then just be quiet, change my oil, and leave me be. read more

Our go to place for quick service. Event when they are slammed, they keep things moving along. Haven't needed repairs myself to pass inspections, but have seen others getting brake lights and so on fixed on the spot. Always friendly and efficient! read more

We moved to Temple about 2 months ago so we are still getting to know the area. I decided to try a local place to change my oil since the dealer requires about two arms and my left leg for an oil change. I'm glad I decided to try this location. The staff was over the top professional and the service was phenomenal. read more

I have been going here for over 15 years and always have great service. Yesterday, however, I received exceptional service by Terrunce and had to let everyone know! I went in for an oil change, but he did all the checks that would only be done for a yearly inspection. He was quick, thorough, and professional, and I was beyond impressed. We need more young men like him in the workforce! I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

We have used them multiple times to change our oil in different cars. They have always been friendly and fast. I have nothing to complain about as we stay in our car and the service is done and we are out relatively quickly. They are reasonably priced and worth your time. read more

Customer service is alive and well in Bell county!!! Absolutely the best oil change experience we've ever had!!! It was the fastest...basically in and out in 6 min! It was the cheapest!!! $30 less than the last several oil changes! ZERO high pressure sales pitches for add on items/options...Kayla and the entire crew were better than a NASCAR pit crew!!! We will be telling EVERYONE to go!!! read more

Busy but very kind and quick as they possibly can be. Even though this specific joint isn't a corporate Valvoline, they still gave me a small discount when I presented a coupon and explained in the future I couldn't use them. The prices aren't even bad to begin with, though. They are the first people that have changed my oil and showed me my air filters and stuff, and they were super helpful in telling me how to change them. Recommend!! read more

manager working 9/28 said I needed a new back driver side tire which is ridiculou, I go down the street to kwik kar belton and they said passed me wondering why valvoline was telling me that. Don't recommend. read more

Worst experience ever! Needed a state inspection and we barely pull in and the guy says "nope I won't do it you windshield is tinted". My husband tried to explain the window has UV/RFID resistant glass but zero tint. The guy becomes even more obnoxious about how he can see the tint. We try to explain this car comes from the factor this was as do many high end SUV's today. Needless to say we went somewhere else with no issue as we did last year; but this guys demeanor and know it all smart mouth drove me to the review. All I can say is do some research, learn the technology and learn the inspection law (which we happen to know very well). Don't be surprised when you get an educational visit from the DPS inspection investigator in the near future. read more

Stopped in for an oil change - got there at the right time (no wait). Karl (who I'm guessing is the manager) was all business and not too talkative. The older employee (with a grey beard and no visible name tag) was pleasant; however, his humor was lost on me. Prices are a bit steep compared to other places. Unknown if I would return... read more

Safety doesn't appear to be a concern as employee Freddie, was smoking a cigarette inside the bay while performing service. Seems like a pretty big hazard for an oil change... read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. Service was absolutely terrible you sure to go to the other location on West Adams. Kimberly who was the lead today during the oil change was rude, obnoxious and has zero sense of customer service. I've been coming to Valvoline for 15 years plus servicing my four vehicles, I've never experienced a shop that was so unprofessional read more

Excellence at its finest in terms of state inspections. Was in & out in less than 10 mins.

First time to visit. Needed a state inspection. Waited 15 minutes and no one acknowledged I was there. I even went in to the counter to wait. A technician came in to take something off the printer and didn't even make eye contact. Worse customer service, I left and went elsewhere. read more

Opened at 8 am on Friday. Pulled right in and oil change was completed by 8:09 am. Wow. My only critique is better communication in which oil would be best for car. After several questions was able to pick one. read more

I went in to get my oil change like I normally do. The guy taking care of my car was very nice and polite. Everything was running smoothly as you would expect until it was time to pay. All I had was a $100 bill and the manger flipped out and started cussing at me. It went downhill from there. I was about to go home and grab my other car but after the way he acted I took my car somewhere else. read more

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I came to get an oil change. After they were done as I was pulling out I heard a loud scraping noise underneath my car so I stopped immediately and looked directly at an employee who "checked" underneath my car and said "nothing wrong just hit the exhaust a little" so I continue to pull out and my entire car is shaking so I pullover and get out immediately and my entire exhaust was ripped apart. I walked right up to the employees and not one wanted to acknowledge me. They "fixed" my exhaust and now I have to spend a lot of money trying to get it fixed. This place is horrible I would never recommend nor return read more

Oil change and service here is good but the price is not. It's $60 and if you're wondering no they do not accept military discounts or any coupons. For a service that may cost them $25, assuming they don't get buy in bulk discounts, they are charging an awful lot, especially since they don't except coupons. You don't accept military discounts okay, but to not even accept coupons is ridiculous. I have always used valvoline instant oil change places and this is one I will never return to and I do not recommend going here to anyone. Make an appointment somewhere else for an oil change and save some money read more

This place is a joke! Pulled up at 9am on a Saturday and waited for nearly 15 min without a greeting. All 2 bays were full with only ONE guy working while the other 3 Valvoline employees (manager was leaned up against the rail w/o a care, the girl was just walking circles around the computer podium, and another lit up a cigarette inside the place while gazing at the line of cars) were well aware of the line of customers but refused to greet them and let them know it may be a longer wait or what was going on. It's all about perception. LAZINESS! Who knows, there may had been a legit reason for why they were not doing a thing, but they APPEARED to not care! Get off your tail and talk to customers. Maybe you wouldn't had lost the business of 4 vehicles + my own. We took our business to the other Valvoline down the road and they got it right! They were busy too, but greeted us and Everyone was amazingly working as a team! We didn't mind waiting, but it was evident by their actions that they were MOTIVATED as a TEAM to earn our business. It seems as though I'm not the first customer with a similar review as mine. The owner should be aware and not continue to overlook the increasing negative reviews of this location (nearest to hwy317) I suggest this location get some customer service training from the other locations (one near 7-11/loop) (and the one on N 31st near KFC). I don't care how long the manager has been there and that he has a lot of repeat business...this is one mistake I won't repeat. read more

CAUTION. This place was a real cluster F. Didn't check fluids or wiper blades. Used oil, but nor clear that it was synthetic. Employees had to run around searching for an oil filter after the oil was drained. Filled tires with uneven pressures and didn't put valve stem caps on one side. Also left greasy palm prints on steering wheel. If they checked the wipers, they would've seen they needed replacing. Missed a sale there. Be nice if they took pride in their work and treated your vehicle as if it were their own. read more

Super quick, really convenient, very knowledgeable staff! Tom is always laughing and fun. I won't take my car anywhere else for an oil change read more

SUPER FAST service! I've been coming to this same Valvoline location for several years now. I appreciate the expertise they provide and their no nonsense approach. Tom the manager is quite endearing, and he makes my day each time I go. read more

First time I'd ever been here and they were fantastic. I only really dealt with two employees and both gentlemen were beyond courteous. I only went in for an oil change and was sitting in the waiting room for no more than 10 minutes. Fast, professional, couldn't ask for better service! read more

I went to Valvolene for the first time with a coupon for 7 dollars off. I was told when I pulled in that they don't accept any coupons as they are corporate. I asked the woman where in Temple I could use a coupon and she told me that there was not a location in Temple or Killeen that would accept any coupons as all the valvolene a locally were corporate ones. I feel as though this is a scam on there part and would not recommend anyone use this business. I will be reporting them to the BBB as well read more

Been going to this location for several years. The new employees are very rude and unprofessional. I will not be returning.
