The workers at this location treated me like someone who knew how to take care of my car. They didn’t assume I didn’t know how to change the air filter, no pressure to buy services I didn’t need. Best experience at a Valvoline so far!

You offer the same service as Oil Changers at similar prices, however their customer service SUCKS (speaking of the El Cajon/Texas St location only).

I was not highly satisfied, only satisfied. My only 2 complaints are the priciness of the oil change and the fact that there was a long line and no one came out to direct me to a lane. So a car that arrived much later than me ended up getting serviced ahead of me. I wish someone had told me which line would finish quicker because I needed to get home to my son and it seemed unfair I was behind a car that arrived after me.

This location is the best of every location I've been to in my 40 years of driving. The staff is incredible. Always welcoming and they get the job done right, no matter what it is. They explain everything well and haven't ever tried to oversell me anything. I actually look forward to going there each time. Top notch!
