    Angry Avoid Jiffy Lube

    Please Google Jiffy Lube complaints before you get your oil changed there. Even for an oil change you should use a certified mechanic. The guys at Jiffy Lue get minimum wage and learn what to do from an internet course. Newflash real mechanics don't get paid minimum wage. My some had an oil change and they threaded his oil plug. Cost of $400 for new oil pan. We got off easy compared to many people on jiffy lube complaint sites. Some ended up with transmission problems and engine problems due to moronic mistakes and things not done. Believe me save yourself a lot of troube.

    Yeah. So true. I went there a couple of years ago when in Vegas and drove away with more problems than when I came in with.

    I had a bad experience at walmarts oil change place to when they told me my car was very low on oil and i needed to purchase extra quarts of oil. I did..and later found out my car had been overfilled which can cause as many problems as if it were underfilled. they scammed me.

    I would never take my car there. I will always take it to the dealer or a reputable independent shop.

    That's weird. I haven't ever had a problem with them and my oil. But then again, I sit there and watch them do it from start to finish. If ANY mechanic refuses to let you watch them work, find someone new.

    I stopped using Jiffy Lube after a freind had his car messed up there. I have used a Valvoline outlet in my town since I bought my truck ten years ago and never had any problems. They DO try and up sell other services but I have a regular mechanic who I take the truck to all the time.

    Unfortunately I think any "quicky" place can be a problem. The same goes for tire stores who specialize only in quickie tire service. I had wheel fall off of my truck while driving several years ago due to a problem that any good mechanic would have noticed during routine inspection while changing the tire. The minimum-wage tire changer at NTW didn't notice it...

    I don't trust Jiffy Lube type places or my local dealership anymore. Getting a simple oil change done at either one results in them trying to upsell me a bunch of shit I don't need, and half the time I've used them, they don't even vacuum the interior for me.

    Strangely enough, I've never had a problem with Wal-Mart, except they take forever and a day and seem to deliberately underestimate the time it'll take. I guess they're trying to upsell me stuff through sheer boredom.

    In the end, it all comes down to the competence of the mechanic, regardless of what he's paid.

    I used to go to a Jiffy Lube type place.. don't remember if it was Jiffy Lube or some other name, but it was a chain like it. Well I went in there like twice and the second time, the dude asked if I was in the "club business". I asked why and he said it was because I always came in during the day looking very tired and stuff. Then he automatically started talking about clubs, bartenders, and strippers. He was saying shit like"Yeah, it's okay if your car has $1000 worth of damage cause you'll just have that money again tomorrow night, ya know?" It really pissed me off that he felt he was entitled to charge more simply because I made more. I don't give a fuck how much my income is, I'm not about to pay more for a service than anyone else. After that, I never went back to the place again. I can't stand people feeling like they know everything about what I do and feeling good about price gouging because of it.

    Jiffy Lube loves to pull the woman trick - assuming I'll just pay them to do whatever they want because I'm a woman and I don't know anything. I caught them once when they told me I needed my transmission fluid changed out, and then the very next time I went (about 3000 miles later), they told me the same thing.

    I think they lost a lawsuit for this sort of thing last year or so.

    Wasn't there a dateline caught on camera about them damaging cars and then telling the owners it was there prior to do more work/scam?

    I've used Instant Oil Change (Valvoline) for years and have not had a bit of trouble. I used to change oil myself but it's a bit of trouble anymore. I even used their engine oil flush system once with great success (no sludge at all after 130,000 miles). I do watch them work, I use my own oil (Mobil 1), and I check stuff once I get out of their building. I've had a lot more trouble with independent mechanics and neighborhood garages, but not all of those.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    They've done this to my car twice. The first time, they paid for the repair. The second time, I had moved out of state and couldn't file a complaint.

    (I only continued to go because I had a year of free oil changes)

    They totally try to upsell you to buy a new air filter, new wipers, whatever. One time I was having some massive sinus problems and the dumbass at Jiffy Lube took out what was supposedly my "air filter" and banged it against a small shelf so I could see the dust fly and I'd be convinced to buy a new one and pay for them to install it. Uh, no, just an oil change. You seriously have to be a dick to them to even get them to stop selling. Once I did make the mistake of buying new wipers there and the price listed was only for ONE wiper. How convenient.

    We took it back there to file a claim and the supervisor said he had to look at the drain plug. Then he started trying to pry it off and actually hit it with a hammer. Unbelievable.

    Fuck that!! I would have totally told the manager. I HATE people like that with a vengance. I bought a car somewhere and one of the guys who worked there I guess recognized me from the club and told all his little friends.....well the guy who sold me my car (about sixty years old) called me and asked if I would do a private party!!! How unprofessional!! I actually called his manager and they made him call me and apologize. Ass.
