The site development plan for a new Valvoline Instant Oil Station in Shelbyville was approved Monday by the Shelbyville Plan Commission.

The 2,080-square-foot facility will be located at 1641 State Road 44, just east of Big Lots.

“This is a three-bay prototypical store for us,” said Robin Peck, a pre-construction project manager with Valvoline.

Valvoline anticipates servicing approximately 100 vehicles per day once open and will have 6-7 employees per shift.

There are over 1,500 Valvoline Instant Oil Change locations nationwide that provide quick oil changes as well as other minor automotive preventative services, according to a Valvoline letter sent to the city’s planning and building department. Services are mostly offered via drive-through which allows customers to remain in their vehicles from start to finish.

The project should start in 6-8 weeks, according to Peck.
