Valvoline Instant Oil Change has been named the No. 1 automotive services retailer in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500 for the fourth consecutive year, underscoring the brand’s sustained leadership in quick preventive maintenance. In the overall Franchise 500 ranking — which evaluates more than 900 franchise concepts across metrics such as unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power — Valvoline placed No. 32. This performance reflects a system-wide network of over 2,300 franchised and company-operated service centers in the United States and Canada, delivering more than 30 million services annually. The result highlights both robust unit expansion, which saw net openings of 75 locations year-over-year, and consistent same-store sales growth of 4.8% in the latest fiscal period.
