LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Valvoline Inc.
(NYSE: VVV), a global leader in vehicle care powering the future of
mobility through innovative services and products, has announced
that it has begun piloting electric vehicle (EV) services in its
retail stores. These pilots, in a limited number of our retail
locations, are the next step in advancing Valvoline's strategy to
extend its world-class preventive auto maintenance service model to
EV owners, OEMs and fleets.
"For 150 years we've been bringing innovation to the automotive
aftermarket," said Heidi Matheys,
Chief Marketing & Transformation Officer of Valvoline. "As
Valvoline continues to transform its retail offerings and extend
its existing offerings to EV owners, we are able to offer our
quick, easy, trusted approach to automotive maintenance regardless
of a vehicle's power source."
The Valvoline retail service centers that are piloting the
program are providing inspection and maintenance-based services
such as 12-volt battery replacement, tire rotations, key fob
battery replacement, cabin air filter replacement, wiper
replacement and state safety inspections. Many of these
services are already performed in Valvoline's retail locations
today but will now be piloted with a specific focus on
electric vehicles. Phase two is expected to include additional
services targeted to EVs and will begin summer 2022 in select
company-owned stores.
Today's news comes on the heels of the recent announcement
naming Valvoline one of four initial U.S. service partners for
Arrival, a global company that is on a mission to make air clean by
replacing all vehicles with affordable electric solutions produced
by local Microfactories.
