I tend to leave a tip if I see them sweating over my car! It shows they care. But let’s be honest, some days you’re just glad they don’t break anything!
Haha, true! If the service is exceptionally good, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave a few bucks.
Reflecting on my trips, I think simply showing appreciation for good service is key, whether with cash or a simple thank you. It goes a long way!
I’ve been wondering about this myself! At Valvoline, I usually don’t tip since it’s more of a quick lube service, but I do wonder if it’s appreciated.
That’s a great question, wjohnson! I think tipping at Valvoline depends on how satisfied you are with the service. I usually tip if they go above and beyond.
At my local auto repair shop, tipping is definitely more common. It seems to depend on the industry standard—people expect it more in detailing or repair than at Valvoline.

I agree, valdezalexander! Tipping in a detailing service feels more appropriate, especially if they do a thorough job. What about those wash and wax spots?

Honestly, I tend to tip whoever shows that they care about my car. Valvoline often employs younger staff, so perhaps they don’t expect tips as much?

I mean, isn’t it all about the service? I say if they did a good job and made you feel valued, a tip would go a long way—especially at Valvoline where it’s usually a speedy visit.
What about tipping when using coupons or promotions? Does it feel right to tip if you got a discount?
Exactly, brendapatterson! Little extra services at Valvoline should definitely be rewarded. Plus, it helps create a friendly atmosphere!
