Valvoline
Valvoline Inc. is a publicly traded automotive preventive-maintenance company headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. The current Valvoline Inc. business is primarily focused on vehicle service centers rather than the global lubricant-manufacturing business historically associated with the Valvoline name. Its service network operates under brands including Valvoline Instant Oil Change, Great Canadian Oil Change, and Express Care.
The Valvoline brand traces its history to 1866, when Dr. John Ellis developed an early petroleum-based lubricant. Valvoline became one of the first major branded motor oils in the United States. Today, however, Valvoline Inc. primarily operates and franchises quick-service automotive-maintenance centers across the United States and Canada.
Current 2026 corporate information identifies Lori Flees as President and Chief Executive Officer. As of June 30, 2026, Valvoline’s system had approximately 2,456 service centers, and current September 2026 company information describes the network as approximately 2,500 franchised and company-operated locations completing more than 30 million services annually.

Valvoline Inc.’s current operating focus is preventive automotive maintenance through Valvoline Instant Oil Change and related service-center brands.
Valvoline Instant Oil Change provides stay-in-your-car oil changes that generally take about 15 minutes and do not require an appointment.
A full-service oil change includes up to five quarts of qualifying Valvoline oil, a new oil filter, and an 18-point maintenance check.
The full-service oil-change process includes inspection or review of vehicle items such as air filters, transmission fluid, battery condition at participating locations, brake fluid, cabin air filters, differential fluids, headlights, power-steering fluid, and radiator fluid.
Valvoline offers radiator and coolant-fluid replacement to help maintain engine temperature protection.
The service is designed to help reduce risks from overheating and freezing.
Transmission-fluid replacement services help maintain lubrication and hydraulic performance inside qualifying automatic transmissions.
Service availability and procedures depend on vehicle specifications and location.
Participating Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations offer tire rotations to help promote more even tire wear and maintain handling.
Availability varies by service center.
Battery testing is included in the maintenance inspection at participating locations.
Technicians can evaluate battery performance and advise when replacement may be appropriate.
Participating stores install replacement automotive batteries.
Customers can combine battery service with other preventive-maintenance work during the same visit.
Valvoline replaces engine air filters to help maintain clean airflow into the engine.
Technicians can also replace cabin air filters where supported.
Participating service centers provide automotive air-conditioning recharge and related A/C maintenance.
Availability can depend on vehicle refrigerant requirements and store equipment.

Participating centers replace qualifying exterior automotive light bulbs.

The belt powers accessories such as the alternator and other engine-driven systems on many vehicles.
Some Valvoline locations perform state-required safety or emissions inspections.
Availability depends on state law, technician certification, and individual store capabilities.

Customers filing a complaint about a Valvoline Instant Oil Change visit should keep their invoice, store address, service date, mileage, vehicle information, photographs, repair estimates, and prior communications. Complaints involving alleged vehicle damage should be documented as soon as possible.
Begin with the Valvoline Instant Oil Change store where the service occurred and ask to speak with the service-center manager. Explain what happened, identify the services performed, and provide the invoice and vehicle information. If the concern involves a leak, mechanical issue, incorrect service, billing problem, or employee interaction, clearly describe the requested resolution and document the manager’s response.
If the store does not resolve the issue, call 800-327-8242. Provide the location, service date, invoice number, vehicle year, make and model, mileage, and any photographs or independent repair documentation. Ask the representative to create a formal case and obtain the case number. Valvoline’s current public responses confirm that Customer Care cases can be forwarded to management for investigation.
If the complaint remains unresolved, contact Customer Care again with the existing case number and request management follow-up. Keep invoices, diagnostic reports, towing receipts, photographs, and written estimates if the complaint involves vehicle damage. A chronological record of what occurred before and after the Valvoline service can help the investigation.
For a serious unresolved corporate matter, correspondence can be sent to:
Valvoline Inc.
100 Valvoline Way, Suite 100
Lexington, KY 40509
Include full contact information, store location, invoice details, case numbers, dates, vehicle information, and copies of supporting documents. Current SEC filings confirm this as Valvoline Inc.’s principal executive office.
If the matter remains unresolved, the appropriate external route depends on the complaint. Payment disputes can involve the card issuer, automotive-repair disputes may be handled by state consumer-protection or motor-vehicle-repair authorities, and general consumer complaints can be submitted to the appropriate state Attorney General. Privacy complaints should use Privacy@Valvoline.com or Valvoline’s official privacy-request process. Keep all service records, repair estimates, case numbers, photographs, and company responses before escalating.
