We're glad to hear that you found Valu quick and efficient! It sounds like we hit the nail on the head this time—maybe we should consider a side gig in speed running. Your support means a lot to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

Thorough and quick
I've used Value several times. On the positive side, they are easy to talk to when discussing what problems or concerns you have with your car. They get back to you relatively quickly to tell you what may be right or wrong with the car, and explain things well. I don't get the feeling they are exaggerating or trying to get you to agree to work you don't need.
The work was done well and for a price that is about average.
On the down side, they absolutely need to clean up their office area. I know it's a garage, but where you greet and talk to customers should be at least reasonably clean. And they can't really help this, but they have little parking and it's difficult to maneuver when they are busy.
The Team at Valu A. from Valu Muffler & Brake Auto Centers responded on 02/03/2025 09:36 AM

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts about your experiences with us. It's great to hear that our team is hitting the mark when it comes to communication and transparency—nobody likes the feeling of being upsold on car repairs like they're shopping at a used car lot. On the flip side, you raise some valid points about our office area and parking situation. It seems we need to channel our inner Marie Kondo and tidy up a bit. As for the parking, we wish we could magically expand the lot, but we're just not there yet. Your feedback is invaluable and will certainly help us improve. Thank you for choosing us for your auto needs.

Roger said they saved him beaucoup bucks. Not only did they do a good job, they referred him to another business for a front end alignment that gave him a discount on the repairs. He is a happy customer.

Carmax reccomendation
I bought a car at carmax and to utilize the warranty I had to take the care to Valu. It turns out the battery was dead so it wasn't covered by the warranty. They ended up replacing the battery before I authorized it and it cost more than $500. That was fine as I needed the car. When I picked the car up the heated seats and heated steering wheels weren't working. So I took it back to Valu and they said it was because the auxillary battery was dead, obviously this wasn't tested the first time. So I paid another $200+ to replace that. After they replaced it it still wasn't working but they advised me that it needed to be driven for several hours or days, according to what was found on the internet. Well it has been a few weeks, the coldest time of the year, and I paid nearly $800 to Valu for a dead battery. I'm disappointed with Carmax and Valu because I surely didn't get any "value" for my money. Completely ripped off.
