Three guys stood around in cold and watched the guy in pit work. One dropped something under the hood and said, oops! Did you see that part? Nope. Guess it s gone now. Really? Not impressed with professional experience of this place at all. For the money, I d go elsewhere. Still worried my oil could start leaking at any moment.

There is a crew of guys there that really know how to take care of business. Each member spoke to me and we shared good words. They are serious and polite. I plan to go back for more, you should do the same. It's quality

Do NOT use this place unless you want your vehicle damaged. Bought a brand new vehicle, took my vehicle in for an oil change at Pickens Valvoline on Gentry Memorial Highway, the service people guided me in and guided me right over top of the metal guide rails, which caused a huge gaping cut under my vehicle. After I heard the metal in metal, I backed out, the service people looked at it, the manager did and called Valvoline Customer Service to make a claim for me . They took ZERO pictures, didn t get my statement and Lindsey the Area Manager denied my claim. I ve called multiple times for an update and Vech at Valvoline Customer Service told me basically too bad . This was a newly purchased vehicle, everything in tact, and they denied a claim with ZERO pictures, stating it was preexisting . My paint is still on the metal at Valvoline, so not sure how that s preexisting. The manager at the location quit the next day, Lindsay denied my claim the same day he quit . They are a big company and there isn t anything you can do. Save your money and go somewhere reputable, for your pockets sake.Service: Oil change

We will never go back. My teenage daughter went up there with her brother for an oil change in her car. Last time she went with her father the oil change was $42.99. This Sunday she was only offered a $70 or $100 oil change. Her brother told her to leave and she was to anxious to do it. On one other occasion she went (without an adult) and was told they were out of the less expensive oil. She was taken advantage of both times. It is no coincidence. She is a teenage girl that got charged over $70 for a simple oil change twice. That NEVER happens when her father or I go in our cars. They have lost our business for good.Service: Oil change

They were very kind and didn't push products on me. That was surprising to me since I am a woman.

They did a great job changing the oil in my car...they set the oil change reminder on the computer too. It didn't take too long either... In and out before you know it.

I like supporting this local business, but the last time I was there they were in a rush and spilled oil all over my engine. Tried using water to wash it off but just made a mess. $59.95 for an oil change, the least you can do is slow down and take your time. Use a rag on the oil gun to avoid spills. This is my 3rd time since it became Valvoline I am less impressed each time I go. So much for supporting local business. For the price I expect a professional oil change done by professionals. They never even offered to reset my oil change indicator as before and the kicker was....NO ONE WAS WAITING. I WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE. Be professional but efficient. I used to recommend this place often. They just dont seem to care anymore. Disappointed.

The attendant filled my windshield washer reservoir with radiator coolant. Once they identified the error they unhooked the hoses at the base of the reservoir and flushed the inside and then refilled it with the proper fluid. Errors happen no problem, but when the customer is literally three feet away the least you could do is communicate with me your error and let me know what you re doing. $101.60 is pretty steep for a 6 quart synthetic oil change and the little sticker says change again in 3,000. Oh ok. 3,000 miles on a fully synthetic change? Umm no. stopping here was a poor decision and will never make it again. If the price was $30 lower the employees were honest and transparent and the sticker said 5,000-6,000 miles till next change then I may take the chance again. But doubtful.

I have only gone to this establishment two times, and the second time will be my last. They inadvertently caused a piece of my car's oil reservoir to be crooked, which caused a leak of oil that lasted for months until I figured out the problem. I am still trying to get it solved as we speak. I hope I can get a partial refund for their shoddy work and I won't be coming back. Thank the Lord that I had a coupon for that oil change at least.

I just want to say I've been coming to this shop for years and this is the first time I've ever had personable interactions! The shop was super busy today and this team took care of all my needs! Brandon Claudia and another gentleman I didn't catch his name interacted with me through my whole experience. We laughed at my none driving skills and inability to follow simple directions Brandon explained to me in detail the services he was offering. My only complaint is Brandon would not preform a tiktok dance These guys need praise for putting up with me

I have used this place several times and I always leave mad so I will be using Pit Stop from now on. I paid $40 for a light bulb change that they didn t replace. I had a coupon, but because they were out of the oil I needed and they had to use more expensive oil, I couldn t use my discount coupon. When I asked why, I was told they had already been given a discount for the more expensive oil. It s not my fault they didn t have the oil I needed and my coupon should have been honored regardless. It just isn t worth it to leave mad every time.Service: Oil change

Valvoline bought out hevoline. Now they don t wash the windshield and do not vacuum out the vehicle. And I believe they up the price a couple of dollars to 39.99. I just feel like 39.99 for less service isn t right. But they still change the oil and check tire pressure and fluids and battery and stuff.

New owners, jacked up prices, cut out some things they used to do. Hired a bunch of kids that act a fool and 1 tried to tear my car up because he was to lazy to do it right. Had to go into the bay and physically stop him. Went there for yrs will never go back. And recommend no one else does either

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Change of ownership! This place is horrible, Do Not Go Here! Price went way up , service went way down. I don't even think they know what they are doing. ONCE AGAIN DO NOT GO HERE. It wasn't a pricing need. It was more service need... oil filters are a extra price Now.... I will call home office. This was horrible experience.

It went from the best place I have ever gotten an oil change to the worst. It is a night and day difference from before. They no longer give the same level of service, and the price went way up.
