Another automotive store is preparing to locate itself at Sartell’s growing River Crossing development.
Valvoline Instant Oil Change plans to open its doors in mid to late summer 2025 near Les Schwab Tires, as River Crossing fills up during the coming year. Current businesses on site include ALDI, Chipotle, Mister Carwash and Starbucks.
The brand-new facility will be a three-bay property that, according to Valvoline management, is able to perform three instant changes at a time. The company expects about seven full-time employees at the facility.
Typical hours for Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations are 8 a.m.- 7 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m.- 6 p.m. Saturdays, with limited Sunday hours.

While Valvoline’s main service is providing instant oil changes, it also performs other vehicle fluid replacements, like tire rotations, windshield wiper replacement, antifreeze changes, batteries, belts, fuel system cleaning service, lights, wipers and transmission fluid changes. Additionally, trained technicians perform a free 18-point maintenance check on every vehicle it services.
These facilities are a drive-through service, meaning the customer stays in his or her car the entire time.
“We are community-minded and a good neighbor. All services are performed in the building,” Valvoline management told the Times via email. “There is no storage or parking outside of our building. We take special care to eliminate any noise outside of our four walls. The building itself is well appointed, with nice masonry finishes that work well with the surrounding businesses. Our landscaping is professionally installed and maintained.”
