    Getting ready for a road trip, I went to have my oil changed. I had never had any issues with this vehicle before. After my oil was changed, I was driving home. Approximately 5 miles down the road, my vehicle made a horrible noise and I had to pull over. I contact my husband who came to help me. We then contacted the Jiffy Lube center that I had my oil changed at to let them know something had just happened. They sent one of their technicians and a manager down.

    They arrived within 15 minutes after our call. They brought along a filter, more oil and tools. The technician got on the ground to check underneath. There was oil on the ground but the technician stated that a rod had been "thrown" and had punctured the oil pan. The manager pulled my oil stick and there was still a lot of oil on the stick (reading high up on the stick). They stated that it must have been an engine issue and there was nothing wrong with the service I received from them. I had the vehicle towed and salvaged b/c it was going to cost too much to have a new engine put in. (This was after a week of calling several places to try and have it fixed.)

    A few weeks later, another man I worked with was talking to me and I mentioned the issue I had. He stated that the same exact thing happened to a relative of his. He said that if there was oil on the ground and still a lot of oil in the reservoir, then they must not have drained the old oil out and it over-pressurized and caused it to "throw" a rod. Unfortunately it was too late to prove anything on our end but seeing as it had happened to more than just me, at the same Jiffy Lube, I will never bring my vehicle back there to be serviced and I will warn others.

    The Jiffy Lube on Aramingo Ave do not follow the checklist that is given. I had to watch them to make sure they were doing their jobs. Their whole objective is to try and sell you things that aren't needed to up the price. I've brought multiple vehicles to this place and had to do the same thing. Once I sent my wife and they didn't put the oil cap back on. It was just under the hood on the side. I had to take it back and had them check everything in front of me. They are some crooks and I don't recommend and women to go to this place by yourself. Today was and is the last time I spend any money at jiffy lube period.

    Took my 1996 Toyota in for an oil change and tire rotation. When I got the truck back, I noticed a hubcap on the passenger side floorboard. Brought it to the attendant's attention and while he was struggling to get it on, I noticed one of the back caps was missing. Brought that to his attention and he said, let's go look for it. Looked in the work area to no avail. Attendant said cap might not have ever been on the truck. I asked to see or talk with a manager. Talked to Adam ** who promised he'd look at security photos to see if the cap was on the truck when it came in. He's not been available since. I've e-mailed him three times. No response.

    The caps were original caps and had been on the truck for more than 150,000 miles. I take it in for a tire rotation and all of a sudden I'm minus two rear caps. The front caps were improperly installed and would have fallen off had I not pulled them off and put them inside the truck. Really sloppy work and a truly dishonest attitude. Really a shame. The Devine Street location has always been a reliable shop. I've been there a number of times and they've always been quick and efficient. I know I'll struggle to go back and I'll tell this story to anybody who'd care to listen.

    Jiffy Lube way overtighten my oil filter and my oil pan drain plug. They did not use any oil on the gasket seal that was on my oil filter. That's why it made it almost impossible to remove the oil filter. I'm surprised it did not strip anything? They lost one more.

    I was taken advantage over priced for a oil change... 75.00 ridiculous prices. I have never paid for an oil change that much. I was quoted 44.99 and they also have hidden fees. They don't let you know you get charged on top of that labor fees. In the end, I got screwed with 65.00 with a 10.00 discount. And 4 days later I had to retake it back 'cause it was leaking. Didn't do the job right. I will never ever go to this place. I'm gonna tell everyone that I know never to go there.

    Skip this place altogether. They failed my vehicle saying I tampered with the exhaust system. I have passed emission testing for the last 10 years in this vehicle with the same exhaust it had since the I bought it. Of course you still have to pay even if you fail. They charge 50.00 for a safety and emission test. Went to another emission shop, and passed no problem. The other shop had to verify with the local health department about my exhaust because the jackass at Jiffy Lube flagged my vehicle in the DOT system.

    I took my truck in for a oil and filter, I explained I wanted it done from the bottom. They kept avoiding a price quote. 10 minutes later, ready to pay. They charged me over $100 I looked under the hood, oil everywhere. They had reached way down. Removed the filter, started the engine, turned it off, new filter, oil was 10.99 a quart 8 quarts on a 4.6L. They started making excuses, then something clicked and they called me a **, drug addict, I felt so vulnerable.

    I didn't sign the charge, Dan forced his signature and charged me. I always check prices before I get work done, I get 2 quotes if it doesn't jive. These 3 guys Dan, Chris, Glen all creeped me out, don't go alone and I realized if I was a man they would have done the job right, as I specifically asked, if I was a man and had a issue I wouldn't have been called crazy **, I'm appalled.

    For those using Jiffy Lube, beware! This was my 2nd visit. I went to the Federal Rd Jiffy Lube location with my 2016 Acura yesterday. The first time a few month ago they told me I needed additional services and I trusted them and accepted them. I took. I went there yesterday and they did the same thing. They charged me $94.99 for the oil change, synthetic oil where at Acura I paid $59.95. Then they told me I needed a radiator flush for $109.99 and added fluid for another $39.99. I only have 22,000 miles on the vehicle. I went to the Acura dealer and they told me I DID NOT need a flush & coolant and that was way too much for an oil change. I did not need an air filter with only 22,000 miles.

    I then Googled jiffy lube only to learn that many other people had the same problem. One guy sent his son to have his oil changed and the son came home with almost $700.00 worth of work done on his car. I will never go back to Jiffy Lube again. Beware, maybe just kids and women that they do this to? I would suggest you check the blogs on this location, this happens often there. What a rip off even with the coupons which still brought me to MORE than if I had the work done at Acura. Now I wonder if they even used the right oil. I am sticking with Acura, big mistake.

    Antifreeze is not washer fluid!!!! I had an oil change and fluid top-off at the Jiffy Lube in Dorchester, MA. This was in anticipation of a business trip to Central Pennsylvania. I needed my wipers once I got there, and was shocked when I couldn't see out of my windshield. It was thick and greasy and I almost got in a very serious accident on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

    They forgot to put the sticker in my window after my oil change, so I went back in. It took 10 minutes for the kid to hand-write a new sticker. He pulled my information up on the computer and asked, "Which one?" I looked at the screen and saw what I deduced were different oil-change packages and answered, "I don't know. Whichever's standard." After he placed the new sticker, I said, "Oh, no. That's the mileage on the last sticker." "Well, I asked you!" he shot back. We went back and forth for a second before I gave up and went home.

    I called the manager, who never once acknowledged the way I was treated. "That doesn't sound like him" was all he said. Four times. "You don't tell me about your employee's character. You apologize for the customer service experience I had," I complained, to which he replied, "I'm sorry IF that happened." "I heard that," I said, whereupon he admitted that he was "having a hard time believing [me]." I responded, "I didn't say the kid was screaming and pounding his chest. He raised his voice and got mad at me when he couldn't understand a simple task. It happened." Nothing. "Wow," I replied. "You're calling me a liar." He denied it. I hung up. Still don't have a sticker.

    Do not! I repeat do not go to Jiffy Lube! I went for an oil change, and my car started ticking. I took it back to them and said what the hell. They argued with me, they did nothing for me other than tell me they took pics, and to top that off they said they would fight me tooth and nail because they did nothing wrong. They were right about that, they didn't put all the oil back in my car which caused the ticking. It's about 4 qts low. They showed me a full dip stick, but they had already put the stick in, and didn't wipe it off and do it again in front of me. Didn't think anything of that until there were issues with my car. I will never use their services again. They could have blew my engine. Do not use them.

    Have had oil change performed at various Jiffy Lube locations. Last time talked into replacing cabin filter; charged. Toyota dealer inspection showed dirty cabin filter and engine air filter after the fact. Toyota gave this customer old filters as evidence. Additionally what Jiffy Lube stated that fluid levels were in good range untrue; had to have considerable amount of fluids replenished at additional cost in addition to cost of filters. Verify the work is done and parts replaced by obtaining old parts and make sure they are from your vehicle. Lack of business ethics, employee misconduct, poor auto repair service, and bad overall customer service. Will never use Jiffy Lube again. Trying to resolve situation, issues, obtain refund for fraudulent misrepresentation, service not performed and parts not replaced in addition to improper assessment of fluid levels.

    I visited Jiffy Lube #35 in Randallstown Md today for an oil change and was informed there is no oil on dipstick, So, I asked how could this be because there isn't any oil on driveway surface and oil light had not come on. I was told he (Kevin) doesn't know. Although, he came back to ask me to get an engine flush, in which I didn't want. Upon finishing the oil change... I was informed that the car has many leaks, oil pan gasket, rear main seal, transmission pan leak and missing shield parts. This info can't be true or the car would be leaking while parked in driveway. In addition, I asked for senior discount...but wasn't given this discount. I was told it's in the price. I've been customer for quite some time, but I think I have to take my business to someone else. The tech was so very unprofessional with me... very negative.

    I have always given Jiffy Lube at Salem NH high compliments until they changed managers. You can check my records and you will see that I have gone here faithfully for may years. I change my air filters both engine and cabinet before I get an oil change. I brought in my 2009 Toyota for its routine synthetic oil change and they showed me a dirty air-filter that had pine needles and leaves in it. Bit confused I told them to change it and cabinet filter was also dirty - I then later the same day I brought my 2011 Toyota for an oil change this time making sure that the filters were clean and they were. There must have been a change again in management someone else was there. Again they took out my filters and they brought me back a dirty cabin filter and the same filter with pine needles and leaves in it. But I knew that air filter would not fit in the 2011.

    I asked them if they finished the oil change and they said that they were in the middle of it. I asked them to complete it first before changing the filters. They did and I asked the manager to step outside with me to the car. They said I could not go in because of some kind of regulation, but yet we have to go through there to get out. I told them to open the the overhead door where my car was. They did. Standing outside I asked them to put the filter that they showed me back in the car (See at that time I owned a 2009 corolla and a 2011 Camry which take total different filters) and told them to put it in the car. It did not fit. Actually I don't think it would have fit my corolla either.

    I told the manager that I have been coming here for years. There use to be a tall, slanky, bearded manager that the customers loved including myself. He was gone hopefully he was promoted. Needless to say - Since the Summer of 2015 I did not go back. I did take my 2015 jeep there in 2016 and decided I was not doing that anymore either. I use Synthetic which I really believe it was not used in my Jeep.

    I took my car to the Jiffy Lube in Olive Branch, MS on June 29th for a simple oil change. At one point, I noticed a guy down on the ground by my front passenger tire and wondered what he was doing. I figured he was checking the tire pressure but I didn't notice any gauges or hoses in his hands. I didn't really think too much about it until the next morning when I went to get in my car to go to work and noticed that tire was flat. I took it to a tire place and was told that it was a leaky valve core. I was inclined to think that the oil change and the flat tire were not related but in my mind I kept seeing this guy stooped down by the tire.

    Six months later, December 28th I took my car back in for another oil change and the next morning - a flat tire!!! Same tire as before. Took it back to the same tire place and was told it is a leaky valve core. Now I'm suspicious. Has it been sabotaged or does someone there just not know what they are doing? Because I'm not buying that it's a coincidence. I called Jiffy Lube to complain. The guy said he would look at my history and call me back. Of course, no call back. When I told him I was upset, all he could offer was "I understand". Two people were late for work this morning because of someone's mistake.

    I brought my car to BMW dealer and they found that the battery need to be changed, also they recommended to for a flushing cooling system. I changed the battery with them but I decided to bring the car to Jiffy Lube for the flushing, oil change etc. The job was done at Jiffy Lube #1176 on 11/19/16. As per the BMW dealer, the recommendation was flush coolant system and it was clear on they report: NO leak at this time. Because I work from home my car is not moving much, and when it does is for very short distance, that is why it believe the accident does not happened before. Regarding the work at Jiffy Lube, they working as a mess from the beginning.

    They introduced the miles wrong in their receipt, 53,549 on 11/19/16. The car at the BMW check and report having 53,825 miles on 11/15/16. When I first brought the car there, the argue was about the miles that I was driving the car, and in addition the person add extra 200 miles to that argue. So he was saying that I drove the car for 800 miles. I knew that it was wrong because I work from home and I do not move the car so much. I came back to prove them, how I can have less mile 4 day after I left the car at the BMW dealer. Resuming I do not drive the car more than 200 miles for two weeks. The person who attending me on Sunday and Morning gave me so absurd explanation.

    I called the 1-800 number customer services, I was informed that I have to deal with Victor **, zone manager at **. I called him on Monday morning, he said he will look at the papers (report from BMW dealer and bill for what was done there) that I left at the office and call me back. I called him back morning-afternoon, he does not have the time to look at it. He will call me Tuesday after 10:00 am. I have been calling him the whole day Tuesday and Wednesday and he is not answer my calls. The incident happened on Saturday December 3, 2016 around 6:00 pm.

    I was driving from home to BrandsMart USA located at 7260 North Kendall drive. When I arrived I saw a light on the computer screen saying “coolant level is low." I was very surprise as it was done already. So I parked and I started to see a lot of smoke from outside. I step outside I see water running from the car. My cousin came and we put 3 L more of the fluids which was running too. I can’t contacted Jiffy because they were closed. Car was brought to the location, and the nightmare is getting worse. They only gave me an estimate of $500.75 for the work that they do not do properly. I am not having a car from Saturday night. So I am waiting to hear from them. Very disappointed. I went to the location Sunday morning and Monday, I spoke with Victor **, at **. I have been call him every day, he has been return my calls.

    Called back Jiffy Lube customer services on yesterday. The person said that Mr. ** will call me back yesterday and she provide a ph. 954-267-9244 Atlantic enterprise to be contact if I did no hear from Mr. **. I called this number and transfer to operator. Only voicemail can be left. VM left. Call back to Jiffy Lube customer services, the operator it is no answer. Call the location at 305-661-9928. The person told me that they will pass the message to Mr. **. Jiffy Lube has been very disrespectful and they need to be handle this situation.

Try to make it my fault. Just 2 weeks I did not drive 2000 miles. Jiffy lube is the worse oil changing place. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND JIFFY LUBE TO MY WORSE ENEMY.

    I went to Jiffy Lube in Lake Elsinore, for a oil change and mind you my truck was spotless. After they returned my truck there was oil stains and smudges all over the front and I'm thinking they were trying to wipe it off they made a bigger mess and before going there my windshield was spotless. Needless to say who knows what they spilled on there is. Had to take my truck and get it washed. When I had brought to the supervisor attention his reply was "yeah it happens often." Last time I spend over 100$ there and get a oil change. I never had that problem anywhere else. Very disappointed.

    Went to Jiffy Lube just after I had the motor rebuilt in my truck. They did an oil change all right but didn't tighten the oil plug. I drove away not knowing this and shortly after truck sputtered and died. My mechanic said engine was seized due to NO oil. I contacted Jiffy Lube and the manager said they weren't responsible and hung up on me. It was going to cost more to take them to court than the truck was worth. Now I'm out $3,500.00 for a new motor that is now toast. I honestly don't know how these dumbasses are still in business.

    After reading hundreds of similar reviews it's pretty clear they don't care about their customers except to take their money and screw up everything they touch. I now do my own oil changes. Don't be fooled by their ads that say now under new management because nothing has changed. A few weeks later the same thing happened to my brother and his wife. Come to find out none of their technicians were ASE certified like they claimed and most of them had criminal records. Jiffy Lube is an absolute joke!

    I should have checked the reviews for Jiffy Lube first and I would have gone elsewhere. I was attracted by a discount coupon for a $27.99 oil change. I was told that I could upgrade to a synthetic blend for a few dollars more. I did so because I have used synthetic blend before. I was surprised that the "few dollars more" was $64.98 more! Now that I've been fooled once I'll be sure to avoid Jiffy Lube in the future.

Checked oil stick, it is over filled. Plus, a leak from somewhere. So took it back, explained problem. So Jiffy Lube, looked at issue and said my oil pan is leaking. Now my boyfriend has always changed my oil. Never any problems. But, this time I take to Jiffy Lube because boyfriend is working 13 to 14 hours a day and has no time to change my oil. I took to Jiffy Lube, thinking I would get quality work done. Boy was I wrong. Now Jiffy Lube doesn't own up to them causing the problem.

I have a panel underneath my car they did not screwed on correctly so I try to push it up and when I drove away while I was on the interstate it flew off my car. They had already closed so the next morning I called and talk to the manager. He told me to come in. I came in. He asked me if I wanted three free oil changes or wanted it replaced. I said I wanted it replaced. He took all the information of my car and mine, told me he would order it and get back with me. Still have not gotten any call from them.

    On the back of the receipt there's a one 800 number to call and talk to someone. They didn't answer so I left a message. They never called me back. So the rest of my panel underneath my car is loose because it's missing its other piece. I am very upset that no one has gotten back to me.

    I bought an oil change from Groupon for a regular oil change service for my 2008 Ford F150. When I got there, the assistant general manager advised me that I needed a synthetic blend oil and it was going to cost me approximately $60 more than what the Groupon would cover. Said it was necessary to meet the spec listed for my vehicle and that was the lowest cost one that Pennzoil made per the specs on the box. She then showed me on the screen what the Ford spec was and again stated that the cheapest oil they had that met that spec was the synthetic blend. I need and oil change and she was pressuring need to make a decision. I agreed because I needed the oil change desperately.

    While they were changing the oil, I looked up exactly what that spec was and then went to the Pennzoil website and what do you know? They're standard oil meets the Ford spec. When she came back in from the shop area to ring me up and collect, I asked again about the spec. She pulled it up on the screen and showed me and I showed her the Pennzoil website where it said their standard oil met that spec.

    I told her I felt like she was ripping me off and that I only agreed because she was pressuring me to hurry and make a decision. She said that they could only go by what was on the box the oil came in and that it didn't say that spec. I told her that I shouldn't be the one to bear the cost of them not knowing the products they were selling. She got a little rude and said she wasn't going to argue with me and that the best she could do was charge me for the regular oil change and the two additional quarts my truck needed. I had expected to pay that anyway so I agreed. I didn't get ripped off but if I hadn't looked it up, I would have. I will never go back to Jiffy Lube again.

    Jiffy lube messed up my vehicle and they don't want to be accountable for it. They didn't tighten the drain plug so oil was leaking. Only been to them for the last 3 oil changes. This is the letter i wrote to them.

    "To whom it may concern: I haven’t heard anything back from Jiffy Lube and it’s been over a week. Before I started bringing my vehicle to Jiffy Lube, I had no issues. Jiffy Lube is the only place that has serviced my vehicle other than the dealer when I bought it. Jiffy Lube’s mechanic came out and told me to take it to another mechanic and that it wasn’t anything else he could do but confirmed the leak and the knocking noise. I had another mechanic check it out and they also confirmed, due to the unsecured installation at the last oil change with Jiffy Lube the car slowly leaked oil from a loose oil drain plug and loose oil filter that were not securely installed. Therefore, causing interior engine damage.

    I have receipts to show you have been the only one servicing my vehicle. My engine needs to be replaced. This has prevented me from getting to work, etc. and caused increased expenses for me and my children. I will also need a rental car to use until my vehicle is fixed. I look forward to hearing from you promptly. Otherwise, I am prepared to move forward with legal action about my 2005 Ford Escape." Will never use them again.

    Northeast Philadelphia (Cottman Ave) store - when oil change was finished, I noticed the floors of my car were not vacuumed - this is supposed to be included in the "Signature Service" I paid for. I asked the technician to vacuum. Less than 3 minutes later, I heard no vac running at all, he brought my car back, and the same dirt is still there. He stated, "I can only work with the vacuum I have, Ma'am". I ran an essential errand, then returned, and technician who answered told me he would vacuum the car himself. This time I actually heard the Shop Vac running, and the car was vacuumed. On the THIRD attempt.

    While in the Jiffy Lube customer waiting area, the technicians are very polite, though, I did appreciate them escorting all customers in and out, and speaking in a respectful manner. I did not appreciate, however, their restroom which lacked a properly flushing toilet, a soap dispenser of any kind, and had an empty paper towel dispenser. At 11am on a Monday morning - really?? To give credit to the cashier that day, he did call their supplier, who arrived promptly (when I returned for the service recovery) and took care of the missing soap and paper towels.

Then, I saw someone else look, then get the owner or manager of that location to look also. He, the manager, told me that the dipstick was broken. I said "it wasn't broken when I came, and you are the only ones that I allow under my hood." He told me again it's broken, and whatever else he mumbled, then went on his merry way.

I drove to a local tire place where they inspected my tire and said a fresh hole was punctured in there. Wow I was very upset but thank god.

I found a coupon from Jiffy Lube for $15.00 full synthetic so I called them to get the price of a full synthetic oil change for a '16 Subaru Outback. The supervisor quoted me $67.99, which after 15.00 off, would have been 52.99. Since Valvoline had an offer for 54.95, I had no reason to suspect this was incorrect. So I drive right down there and 5 minutes later I pull in. First, they mix up my car with two other cars, then I wait 30 minutes for them to get to me, then that same supervisor tells me my oil change will be 99.00. I tell him I just called to get a quote and he says this price is for "synthetic blend." I remind him that he, 5 minutes earlier, quoted me a price of 67.99 for full synthetic. He looks at me blankly. So I tell him just give me my keys -- I'll get an oil change at Valvoline.

    Note they have already begun to take my car apart and he says they have to put it back together. I look out at my car and one of the technicians is sitting in my driver's side seat flossing her teeth using my mirror. I finally get my car back and they have left two big oily stains on my new car. I ask the tech to clean it up, he brushes at it with his OILY cloth, shrugs, and walks away. So now I have 30 minutes I will never get back, plus a permanently stained inside door upholstery.

    Went to Jiffy Lube store # 2231 in Sandy, Oregon yesterday to get an oil change for a 60 mile+ drive up to 5,000 ft elevation in a remote mountain area. Car was due for a change and I wanted it in good, healthy shape for the trip. Jiffy Lube achieved just the opposite for me with their negligence. I noticed on the way home from my trip that the car was smoking heavily and engine lugging down when starting out from standstill.

Took it down the street to a different local JL #1006. They re-did the job for me and filled to correct level without charging. The manager at store #1006 Powell was helpful and seemed to have good integrity. He says he will call the #2231 store tomorrow and speak to their manager.

    I'm hoping my car is not damaged, but will be taking it to a mechanic this week for a check-up to see if any damage can be detected. This time could have been much worse, judging from the stories shared on this site. Hopefully my car will be ok from here and not have minor or major issues because of this incident. If it does, proving it might be difficult to impossible? I'll be worrying now about the engine seizing up, blowing head gaskets, the catalytic converter... whatever else can go wrong when there's enough oil in the system to float Noah's ark!

    I usually avoid JLs as a rule because of the stories I've heard from friends. Too bad I made an exception just this one time. In my past visits from years ago, it seemed to me they play on your fears to sell you more services, and talk fast to throw you off and get you keyed up/worried rather than clearly explaining things. I have learned my lesson for good now, absolutely NO MORE JIFFY LUBE VISITS FOR ME!

    Damage to my son's car. My son went in for a simple oil change Jiffy Lube Huber Heights and left with a damaged hood and a cracked windshield. Jiffy Lube refuses to pay for any of the damage because they stated they don't touch the hood, pretty sure you have to lift and close the hood to do an oil change. My son lifted it some and then the technician Jason lifted it the rest of the way and placed the bar. Then when Jason closed the hood he could not latch it (no problems prior to visit), so they told my 17-year-old son he would have to figure it out himself. My son had to sit in his car for 1 hour in 90-degree weather until I could get him someone to help him latch it. Somehow in the process of them damaging the hood it also caused damage to the windshield that we now have to replace.

    On 3/9/2016 I took my Dodge 3500 4X4 for an oil change as we were getting ready for a vacation. The work was performed at the Jiffy Lube on State Ave. in Marysville, WA. Less than 50 miles was put on the truck before we left on May 25th, 2016. We stopped in Butte, MT that same evening to fuel up and noticed a "wet" spot on the ground at the back of the engine. A trucker looked at it for me and told me it was most likely a blown rear main seal. The needed repairs were done at a cost of $759.97 plus an extra night's lodging. The diesel shop that did the repairs said the rear main seal blew out because "someone" overfilled the oil and they would be willing to verify this with Jiffy Lube. I paid for the repairs and went on about my vacation - with no further problems.

    Upon my return home to WA which was on 6/15/2016 I contacted the Jiffy Lube that did the oil change and they blew me off - kind of like the way my rear main seal blew. So on 6/16/2016 I contacted Jiffy Lube Corp. in Houston, TX. Today, 6/28/2016 I was informed that Jiffy Lube Corporate was denying my claim because it was longer than 3 months since the oil change. The oil change was done on 3/9/2016; left for vacation on 5/25/2016 (2 months and 16 days after oil change - which is within the 3 months); incident occurred on 5/25/2016 but since I didn't report it until after I returned from vacation 6-16-2016 it was beyond the warranty. I didn't have my receipt with me, and I don't vacation with my computer. I am disabled due to MS, on a limited income, my family and caregiver who drove me Minnesota for a family reunion, made this trip possible.

    Needless to say I am not happy with Jiffy Lube's response to this and I will be pursuing this with and through an attorney. My brother who is a retired Sgt. with LAPD paid the repair bill for me and intends to pursue this on my behalf. I'm sure a multi-billion dollar corporation can afford to spent thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars on tying this up until they think I will go away or financial give up. Well, I've taken on a $1.92 billion dollar outfit for $5,000.00 and won.

    Bought a pre-owned 2009 VW Passat from a reputable dealer on 6/17/16. Only 89k miles on car... In great shape and clean. On 6/19/16 I took said vehicle to a very popular European dealership collision center (daughter's employer) to have her technicians that she has known for years and I trust look over the car. A "great buy" is said. No leaks, no lights on, everything good is the end result. Because there was no oil change sticker in the window and almost 90k miles I decided to treat my car to a full synthetic oil change.

    Against better judgment (had problems a couple years ago at the same location), I pulled into Atlanta Lubes Two, LLC DBA Jiffy Lube #2103, located 5772 Peachtree-Industrial Blvd Chamblee, GA 30341. The employees were friendly and smiling (different people from years ago who were obnoxious and rude). I asked the cost of an oil change and was told $89 for my car and an additional charge of $15 to top off coolant because the "red" (warning not hazard yellow) coolant low light had come on during inspection (always thought that was free of charge).

    Anyway, agreed to spend as I was in a good mood and I love my car. My car is in the bay and one tech comes in and asks for another to help him with respect to my car. I am now at the glass looking. The older fast talking tech comes in and explains something about my filter but said "all is ok." I know it is because I just bought the car. So, after 40 min (kind of long I was only one there and 4 techs hovering around my car), I go to pay and it's over $100 but am given a $10 coupon. Geee. Thanks!! Still expensive but I pay and leave.

    The 26th of June, I pull my car out to leave the garage and all of my coolant (green slippery stuff) is on the garage floor. All of a sudden, I have a serious leak. Hmmmm... So, I call the location and of course they're excited about my coming back to them. So, instead, I take it to the same techs as before and he confirmed sabotage (a puncture in a line that he said was not there when he inspected the car). I make an online complaint and some arrogant ** from corporate is getting smart, over talking me, basically trying to avoid dealing with the issue.

    Crooks, thieves, dishonest, unethical business practices. Realizing I am wasting my time (I can see why the Jiffy Lube culture is poor) I get so frustrated over his unprofessional and almost bullyish demeanor that I say ** you and before I can disconnect the call the representative from "CORPORATE" says, "You as well!" Lesson learned... Jiffy Lube nor any of the other quick lubes will NEVER get another dime from me.

Once he was finished with the phone he ignored me yet again to speak to a new customer that had just walked in. When I got upset, he told me I was rude when all I said was "really".

    Went in for a oil change on 4/2/2016. A guy came out from the back and asked me if I wanted them to check the air filter (don't they do that automatically?). He said "the reason I ask is that it is hard to get to, and I just want to make sure you would replace it if it needs it." I said "yeah, if it needs it I probably would." Comes back out 2 minutes later with air filter and looking at it, I told him I would wait until next time. Then, as I was getting ready to pay my bill, they told me that they had a special on wiper blades, Buy 1 get one free. I told him that mine were fine (I had just replaced them not long ago). Paid my bill and drove to a restaurant to have lunch (this is about 12:30).

    When I came out to get back in my car, I noticed that one of my tires was very flat. I drove to a gas station several yards away and attempted to put air into it. When I took the cap off air was coming out like crazy and it would not hold air. I called a service station and after talking with them a couple times, figured out that the valve stem sensor was broken off. I was told that this doesn't just happen on its own and that whoever filled it with air last had to know it was broken because air would be leaking out very fast. Well things were starting to fall into place... I called Jiffy Lube 3 or 4 times and they would not answer (I believe they saw the caller ID and knew it was me calling). I knew then that this had been done deliberately because I didn't buy the air filter. So I had to call for a tow truck to take my vehicle to a tire store and have it fixed. About $100 for the tow and another $100 for the broken sensor. This is how I spent my Saturday afternoon.

    I waited until Monday and talked with an area supervisor. He told me they have had problems with that location and that they would reimburse me for the towing and replaced sensor. A couple of days later when it started raining I turned my wipers on and heard a terrible noise. One of my wipers had a about a 4" tear. Now I know why they asked at the last minute if I wanted my wipers replaced. It was not like that before I went for my oil change. So I called the guy back and let him know. So now I had to go and purchase a new wiper blade and install it myself.

    Looking at my receipt, it says that I declined to have my tire pressure and air filter checked. (REALLY??) Since then my stereo has been cutting in and out and my windshield cracked. I can't help but wonder if these things were also caused by Jiffy Lube. I did finally get a check for $190.22 to cover the tow and sensor, over two months later. I guess I will never know what all was done to sabotage my vehicle while I was there.

    As soon as I walked in this location on South Frontage I-35 (Austin, Tx), I noticed the employees were super unpleasant. The inside was all dingy and the chairs ripped/stained. That didn't even come close to my main problem with this place. I went in to get an oil changed and a week later I learned that they never put the coolant cap back on. As a result, my car overheated on the highway, I needed to have it towed, and needed my thermostat replaced. That was my 1st and only experience going to Jiffy Lube. I only went there because I had a coupon and got an oil change for $29, but in the long run it cost me $251 (would have been over $500 but did not get the hoses replaced yet).

    Public Service Announcement. BE AWARE!!! Re: Jiffy Lube # 1463 3000 Capitol Ave Sacramento, CA 95816. BAR #ARD256518. EPA #CAL000335141. Owner: Donald Fowler/Broadbase Inc. I've been a customer for 4 yrs. I've repeatedly informed JL that my $1000 aftermarket performance ball joints have grease zerks and require lube. When I went in for an oil change today, I verified with the front desk, that they know about the zerks. The technician showed me they had a notation on my account, that they were aware, and that they would take care of it. At post inspection, they showed me my coolant was a quart low? I checked under the vehicle and showed them that the zerks had not been touched. They pulled the vehicle back in, and I asked to speak with the mgr **.

    During our conversation, I negotiated for them to top off the coolant at no cost, as a show of good faith. After filling the coolant reservoir, the tech said my ball joints were torn. I stated that they shouldn't be, unless they are not competent to do that service. When I got home, I crawled under the vehicle, to check that the oil filter had been changed, and to inspect the ball joints for damage (there was none... just a sloppy lube job). I opened the hood to verify that the coolant had been topped off. What I found, is that the tech disconnected a vacuum line from my air filter to the engine, when he was topping off the coolant. I am no longer a Jiffy Lube customer, and I have filed a complaint with Bureau of Automotive Repair.

    I had an oil change and transmission service done at the Jiffy Lube at 5915 100th street in Lakewood, WA on 3/17/16 and after a couple of weeks of oil leaking on my garage floor I returned the car to Jiffy Lube and they stuck a vacuum cleaner to my oil filler hole and messed with my car for over an hour. They explained the guy that changed my oil used an old oil washer and that's why it leaked. Two weeks later my low-pressure oil light came on and I had to take the car to the dealer. The dealer called me and informed me that whoever changed my oil last had removed my oil pressure switch and stripped the threads when they tried to put the switch back in. They had smeared sealer around it seal it. It failed and that's why the light came on. He also explained that someone had stripped the threads on the oil pan and installed a piggyback plug which was also had been stripped, and had a red sealer on it to keep it from leaking.

    He said I needed a new oil pan. I called the general manager a Jiffy Lube and he denied they ever touched the oil pressure switch and that he had even looked it up on the computer to see where it was located. He informed me that he couldn't be held responsible until he inspected the damage himself but would not go look at the damage at the dealer. I had the dealer put the old oil pan back on and took the car to Jiffy Lube. The manager said no oil was leaking out the stripped threads so I was out of luck, but he would rethread the oil drain and put a yet larger plugin. My wife said they couldn't touch her car again so we took it back to the dealer for a new oil pan.

    The store later called me and said they would refund my money for the oil change and transmission service but refused to fix my damage. The total for everything was $1,500. I contacted the BBB and Jiffy Lube gave their pet answer that they didn't do it. The car has only had service at the dealer and that Jiffy Lube and the dealer verified that Jiffy Lube had done the damage. No one from Jiffy Lube management has contacted us wanting to see the parts or even discuss the matter or see the documentation. No choice but to sue them.

    In October of 2000 at the Jiffy Lube on Randleman Rd., Greensboro, NC I took my 1996 Chevy Cavalier into the shop to receive an oil change. The manager of this station informed me that I needed a radiator flush because my antifreeze was brown because of rust. Jiffy Lube performed the service and I paid the bill. I drove less than a mile and my temperature gauge in my car went off of the charts. The car overheated way beyond being measurable by the gauges. I drove the car back to Jiffy Lube and informed them that there was something wrong.

    They inspected the car and realized they put the wrong antifreeze in the car. They replaced the antifreeze with the correct stuff. However the damage to my engine had already been down. A few weeks later the engine block cracked. Since, I have never used Jiffy Lube. I tell all of my friends and family to never use this business.

The manager brought me out of the waiting room and showed me my air filter, then said he had seen worst and recommends I have it changed on my next oil service. He also said I had a turn signal out. I said "Yes go ahead and replace it."

    When everything was finished he brought me up to the counter and said everything was fine. I paid and he gave me the print out that showed all that they did and checked. One of the things on there read "Brake Fluid Check", across from that reads "Sensor OK". He leads me to my car and puts the sticker on the windshield and closes the door after I get in. As soon as I take off and the put my foot on the brake pedal it felt different from how it felt when I drove there. I thought well maybe it's because they put air in my tires. As I was driving home which was about a four-mile ride I could tell my brakes were not as strong as they had been with brand new pads and rotors just put on a few days ago.

    Well when I parked the car I noticed this air sound as I pushed the brake pedal. I went in the house and googled that air sound, then went back out to the car and brakes were completely gone pedal to the floor. Luckily I made it home just in time or I might not have made it home alive. Well I looked under the hood and the brake fluid was just about empty. Walked over to DG and bought some but it just leaked out. I could see the drip under the bottom by the tire. I'm going to have a shop pick it up tomorrow. I will never trust Jiffy Lube again.

The bill specified they found the AC leak detection, but if they really completed the job at the first time, they would have found the other leak too. I request a refund or for them to complete the job. They didn't want to give me a refund and the only solution they wanted to offered me is to complete the AC repair for $740 and they would discount the $150 for that amount. This is bad service.

Then he says he has to take some out and redo it. Well after waiting a significant time and having to deal with Derron's uncaring attitude my husband checks and it is still overfilled. Really? You're an oil change business and you cannot change the oil properly? Still no apology.

    In addition, when my husband first brought the car Derron was annoyed because my husband didn't want a $70.00 ultimate oil change!!! When my husband at the end of the ordeal suggested that he should be given a refund Derron told him to "come back tomorrow". This may indicate he wasn't the manager after all duh!! So disgusted!

No drops on the ground, no burning of oil and it's severe knock. I took it to a friend of mine and let him hear it and he made the comment running 2 quarts low on oil most likely either burn out my timing chain or spun a bearing on my crank shaft and motor is destroyed.

    I took my 2008 F350 in for a transmission service. Jiffy Lube did the service. I drove the truck roughly 60 miles. Transmission started acting up. I got the truck off the road. Checked the fluid. Dipstick was dry. I was only a few blocks from the same Jiffy Lube that did the trans service. Pulled in and said the trans dipstick is dry. The girl checked the fluid level and said "Put it in natural," I said "I think you leave it in park to check the fluid." She said "This is a Dodge right?" I said "No it's a Ford." So she checked the dipstick and said "It's full." I said "It was not registering 5 minutes ago." She replied "It's full now." I said "That's it?" She replied "Yes it's full" and walked off. So I limped my truck home which is probably what did my trans min in. Called Jiffy Lube the next day. They said they were opening a claim on my truck. To expect a call from their claims department.

    A week and a half goes by nothing. Truck is in driveway. Won't move. Call them back. They said still working on claim. I asked what they were doing to rectify this problem. They offered to come to my house and change the trans fluid and filter and put new trans fluid back in it in good faith, but in doing so they would wash their hands of it if that was not the problem. Or I could pay at my expense to have truck towed to a mechanic shop and have it checked by a mechanic. If a mechanic told them the damage in my transmission was caused from the service they did on my truck they would take care of it. So that's what I did. Explained to the mechanic what had happened. Didn't have any issues with trans before service was done and he said he could check it out for me and he did and called me up and said that it had internal damage and needed to be replaced.

    I asked him if back flushing the trans fluid without replacing trans filter could have caused the damage. He said "Yes it is not recommended on these trucks." So he called Jiffy Lube as a third party to get info on what type of oil was put back in truck and they told him what was specified out for that vehicle. Then they lied to the mechanic and told him when I brought my truck in for initial service that I had told them that I was having shifting problems with the transmission prior to service. The mechanic asked for notes of me saying this prior to service on truck. They said that they did not note that conversation. Jiffy Lube flat out lied. That doesn't even make any sense. I never had any issues with my transmission shifting. Ran perfect before I took it to them. Mechanic said this would be tough case to prove unless they tore the transmission down and inspected it from top to bottom which could be very expensive.

    Wife went to Jiffy Lube same day asked for their claims department's #. They said we don't have a claim #. Wife said she wanted a refund for the service that Jiffy Lube did that destroyed my trans. The gal at Jiffy Lube said my wife told her that the truck was having trans problems before the service was done. My wife was beside herself when she heard that. She thought what a bunch of idiots. Jiffy Lube employees are a bunch of liars. They make stuff up to get out of taking responsibility for their mistake. They back flushed my transmissions and didn't replace the filter inside the trans and destroyed the transmission. Jiffy Lube in Monroe Washington sucks. Cost me $4,900 for a new transmission.

    I took my 2012 Ford Focus for an oil change at the Jiffy Lube in San Antonio, Texas at 5584 Walzem Road, the middle of December 2015. On January 9, I drove 25 miles to New Braunfels, Texas. My car died on way and I finally got pulled into a gas station. When I looked under the car I found the oil plug laying in the skirt of my car. No oil left in car. I had to add 4.5 qts of oil to get home. Car is ruined. Needs a new engine. When I called Jiffy Lube they told me to take it to "their mechanic". I had to pay for towing and their mechanic said it probably wasn't the motor. The manager **, nor the owner J.D. Culpepper will not return any of my calls.

    I've tried to call corporate and no help from them either. My car is still sitting at their mechanic because I can't pay for more towing bills. I have a car with a burned up motor that they caused and will not take responsibility for. From reading all the complaints on Jiffy Lube, I can't believe they're still in business. They will not take any responsibility for their incompetent employees, especially their so called managers or owners that will not return phone calls. This is my only vehicle and I am having to borrow cars from family to get to work and back. They are a sorry excuse for oil change, etc. Do not take your vehicle to them if you don't want to pay for more than just an oil change. You'll end up with having to have a new engine.

    Went in for an oil change and after about ten minutes in the waiting room, was asked by a care associate if there was a "trick" to remove my oil cap. I informed him that I don't change my oil and have never removed the oil cap and wouldn't know if there was a trick. I walked with him out to the garage where I overheard an associate say that he had attempted to remove the cap and the top half broke off when doing so. I attempted to remove the cap but discovered it was already broken when I grabbed it. I asked the associate what the next course of action was and he told me that they couldn't help me at all and that I would have to have a mechanic remove and replace the cap. This is where my problems began. I asked if they should replace the cap since they were the ones to break it, and they told me that the cap was broken when my car first came into the garage. The problem with this is why ask me if the cap has a trick to get it off it is already broken?

    These Jiffy Lube associates knew they had broken the cap and by having me grab it, attempted to absolve themselves of all guilt. They had my car in the garage for at least 10 minutes and I believe it would have taken less than that to realize the cap was already broken as they had stated. I believe this 10 minutes was used to reef on my oil cap, break it, then attempt to act as if nothing happened. My car was then driven out of the garage and I with protest was told to go elsewhere. To make a long story short Jiffy Lube has no desire to help their customers and when they make a mistake they attempt to pass all guilt onto naive customers.

    I went to my local Jiffy Lube in Avondale, Arizona, store number 3385 to get an oil change for my 2002 Toyota Tacoma. I have been to other Jiffy Lube's in the past and had a decent experience sometimes and pretty bad ones other times. I just needed a quick oil change because I was taking a trip the next day and had to go into work that evening. That's where the fun started. I show up and tell them I wanted to just to conventional oil. They told me, "That's fine" and went ahead and did the oil change.

    Once it was done the technician came in and gave me this whole go around about how the factory-recommended oil is synthetic oil and that they won't warranty the job they did and how my engine would run much worse with conventional oil. I understood at the time, but there is no excuse to have not told me right from the start that the job wouldn't be warrantied and they wouldn't stand by their product. So me, like an idiot, had them do it over with synthetic oil.

    After I got back from my trip I pulled the truck out of my garage and noticed a fairly large pool of oil on the ground. My truck has never leaked anything of any kind. I tried hosing out the skid plate and oil pan because I had read there can sometimes be residual oil. Again when I pulled my truck out the next day, huge puddle of oil right underneath it. I went back to Jiffy Lube and they said the gasket was bad and had to change it. Weren't they suppose to do that the first time? For the next few days there were still puddles of oil under my truck!

    So today I finally took it to my local Toyota dealership to have it done right. I explained to them the situation and just told I want to do a fresh oil change. When it was all said and done, the Toyota technician told me that conventional oil is the factory recommended oil and that's what they used. They also told, "Ey" my oil filter was loose and that's where the leak came from and that there was so much oil on my engine that it was likely it would have ran dry and destroyed my engine within the next week or so. I was amazed, these guys at Jiffy Lube lied to me to my face. This is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with in my life. I recommend people stay far away from this horrible place! They will squeeze every dollar out of you, not stand by their product and lie to you to your face.

    My father brought in his 2011 GMC Sierra truck for a routine oil change on 1/27/2016. The technician servicing the truck broke/damaged the ATF dipstick tube assembly due to carelessness when it pulled out. My father observed/witnessed it. The technician feigned ignorance and attempted to blame my father for the damage. The technician told my father to take his truck to the dealership for repair/replacement. The technician refused to take any responsibility for his own carelessness in breaking/damaging the dipstick tube.

    My father had the dipstick tube repaired/replaced at the dealership and brought the invoice back to this location. He spoke with another employee. My father presented the employee with the invoice and asked what they will do to compensate the amount for the repair/replacement. The employee became irate and told my father he'll need to call corporate with no additional details or information on how and when the follow up will occur.

    My father asked the employee for his name. The employee angrily told my father he is not obligated to provide him with his name and told him to get the hell off the premises or he'll call the police. My father was not being abusive or confrontational in any way during the interaction. The area district manager Leyon ** became aware of the issue on 1/30/2016, but declined to contact me after a couple of follow up calls from me. I called Jiffy Lube corporate in Texas and was informed they would follow up with Leyon and me. Jiffy Lube corporate told me the very rude customer service by the employee and broken/damaged component will be addressed.

    I took the initiative and finally reached Leyon ** on the morning of 2/3/2016. He sounded as if he was not interested in the situation and stated up front that he will not compensate the broken/damaged dipstick tube and claimed they break all the time due a faulty design and quality. He stated he'll deny and refuse any compensation by claiming it's not their fault regardless of the technicians recklessness.

    Furthermore, he claimed the employee in question stated that my father was being abusive and combative and that is why he responded the way he did and the employee was supposedly put on final notice. Leyon's demeanor and voice on the phone clearly indicated he didn't care about any of the issues. Leyon initially refused to provide me with the contact information for his manager (regional manager) until I had to press the issue.

    My father has been a loyal Jiffy Lube customer for more 20 years going through at least three vehicles. My father is 70 years old. The absolute rude and unprofessional treatment by the employee who told him to leave with the threat of calling the policemen is shameful. I asked Leyon if the audio and video recording of the interaction from the security cameras in the office can be pulled. Leyon refused to address that. Leyon's dismissive attitude and lack of respect towards the issue along with his cavalier responses clearly shows he doesn't give a damn and nor does Jiffy Lube corporate.

    I couldn't be more angry with these people and their lack of service and knowledge. I took my Audi A4 into store #705 in Arvada, CO for a quick oil and oil filter change; $84.21 bill. One would think this would be pretty easy and something they couldn't mess up; I was wrong... very wrong. First the wrong oil filter was installed. The oil filter didn't fit properly, so they crammed the oil filter into the housing and it didn't fit over the tube from the oil filter housing assembly of the engine; rather pushed off to one side, crammed against the end of the tube. So a portion of the oil wasn't even going through the filter.

    The old o-ring was never taken off, so there were two (the oil filter housing never seated properly), so I developed a major oil leak... oil streaming from the filter housing all over the bottom of the engine and onto my driveway. It starved the engine of oil... so I had multiple visual and audible alarms going off for both oil pressure and oil level in the engine. I now am looking at repairs anywhere from $4K-15K. I contacted them and got a very impersonal "form email" as a response. Do yourself a favor... go anywhere else!!! I am floored at the incompetence on a task as simple as this.

    I have had Jiffy Lube change the oil in and lube my '02 Sierra PU since it was new. I had them do this several weeks ago. The crew was new and appeared GREEN. But, I let them proceed. I had a concern about the total job and, after about 3 weeks, decided to drain and check the oil and take a look at the filter. I had great difficulty getting the drain plug out. I'm surprised that, as tight as it was, the technician had not stripped the threads when he screwed it in. After draining the oil, I attempted to remove the filter. It was totally stuck and nothing I tried could budge it. Finally I punctured it side-to-side with a screwdriver. Still, I couldn't budge it. Finally, I tore the filter apart until I could bet a tool on the filter base so I could dislodge it that way. NO WAY! Finally, I had to have the vehicle towed to my mechanic. He was able to dislodge the filter (remaining part) with an air impact tool.

    I contacted Jiffy Lube corporate about this. They referred the complaint to the local Tomball, TX manager. He called but never did follow up. Then, I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint. Jiffy Lube never responded. After about 3 weeks I got a call from some guy that said he was the "new manager". I explained and he said he would get back to me. He never did. I then got a notice from the BBB that the complaint had been reviewed and that the Jiffy Lube District Manager had disallowed the claim and was doing NOTHING. At that point I was out something like $100 for towing and labor. But, I learned a lesson. Stay away from Jiffy Lube.

    For many years I have been bringing my cars to jiffy lube for oil changes. This is mostly due to convenience or not having a driveway to jack the car up to drain the oil. Even when negative new reports aired about jiffy lube I ignored them considering the past good experiences I had in Chicago when I lived there. My logic was it is very hard to screw up an oil change. I moved to Washington this past year and ended up buying a 2014 Chevy Cruze in light of the move. I have gotten 3 oil changes at your Lakewood location. The 1st visit they put the wrong oil in which is an honest mistake considering I didn't even know a different oil was needed.

    However the last visit I was told the drain plug was stripped and that you couldn't do the oil change. This is the last straw for me considering I have only taken this car to this location for oil changes. Logic would dictate that if I only brought it to this location than at some point an employee stripped it. Could have been the last visit or this visit. Since it was only the plug I figured no big deal. That was until the dealer told me not only was the bolt on the drain plug striped but so were the aluminum threads where they are screwed in. That means the pan also needs to be replaced.

    This will cost me $510 before tax parts labor. I have been coming to jiffy lube since 2002 and am very disappointed in this location and in how low the company standards have fallen. I will not be returning. To the employee that had to read this I am not mad at you as an individual I am displeased with the company you work for.

Now a few months have gone by and I get a warning about low tire pressure. So as I am trying to check and properly inflate all my tires I notice one cap will not come off. Tried to use pliers and the whole stem just spins. Of course the tire that is lowest in pressure is the one I can't access, go figure!

    So I call the store I had went to and explained the ordeal, was told they don't deal with tires but I can bring the car in and they can see what they can do. Let's see, you did put it on wrong, admitted it and then don't want to accept blame? Professional! Once I leave work today I will be stopping by and they will fix the problem or they can pay the $60 it will cost to replace the valve stem/TPMS. I'm not paying for it, it was not my fault.

    AVOID AT ALL COSTS, THEY WILL DAMAGE YOUR CAR! I went in for a standard oil change and was talked in to a coolant system and brake system flush. A few minutes into the flush the manager (Lynn) came over and told me there was a problem. He said there must have been a hairline crack in my coolant reservoir and that the flush made it worse, I would need a new reservoir to the tune of $250, and they couldn't get it today. I was forced to take a cab home (no offer of a ride) and came back the next day to get my car. I asked to see the old reservoir and when I did I could easily see they lied to me, both hose couplings were completely broken off. I complained and they told me that there would be no refund, it wasn't their fault it got broke.

    The next day my car started overheating so I took it to the dealership. They found that Jiffy Lube had used the wrong coolant type (my car requires the orange Dex coolant and they used the standard green stuff). Also, the reservoir was not installed properly and was leaking from the hose couplings. I had to get the entire system flushed again and new clamps installed. Jiffy Lube refuses to cover any of these repairs and outright lies about what happened. Now they say my car had no coolant in it when I came in, but a corvette in Florida overheats if it has no coolant. I had no leaks, no overheating issues, no coolant smell, and no coolant on my garage floor, yet they say it was already broken and out of coolant when I arrived. I don't see how I drove in but had to take a cab home if they did nothing wrong.

Later that week she tells me that her overheating indicator illuminated, we bought some coolant to put in the car and it immediately upon pouring it into the car it spills all over the ground underneath her vehicle.

    I call to complain and another manager states that it must be the water pump, I THINK NOT! If it were the water pump the people under the car during the flush would have seen the water pump leaking then. I hope they don't think just because I'm a woman that I wouldn't possess common sense. They are going to PAY if her engine is ruined.

    We took our 2005 Chevy Tahoe into Jiffy Lube for routine maintenance (oil change and check fluids). Seven days later the Tahoe is running terrible. We take it to a mechanics shop and we are told there is no fluid in the transfer case, a bolt was not put back in, and it will cost $2500 for a new transfer case. We called Jiffy Lube and showed them on the invoice where it says the transfer case was checked and was full. After getting the runaround (phone calls not being returned because investigator from Jiffy Lube says he is busy looking at other car issues) we are finally told after a week that it is just a coincidence that the bolt "just happened to fall out" within seven days. We now have to borrow a vehicle while we go to court to get our car fixed. It is my opinion that Jiffy Lube is a despicable organization that will not stand by its work or its warranty.

    Needed an oil change on my car. Went to Jiffy Lube, they said they will take care of my vehicle cleaning windows, and oil change in the package deal. They pull my car into the shop and can't get my car out of park and I see the driver struggling then 3 guys came and looked at the car and they said, "Have you always had this problem? Your car won't get out of park." I said, "No, it should be fine." 5 minutes later they realize you got to push down on it to move the gear over.

    So while I'm waiting, I'm watching them work on my car. One of the guys was doing the tire pressure, just adding air not checking the pressure. My tires were way over pressure after they put air in them. The front and back windows got cleaned but had smear oil marks all over the windshield from their rags. They did vacuum the floors. So once my car was ready I left driving 40 miles down the road. I notice my car has loss of power. I check the oil it was low on oil. My motor started knocking really bad, had to pull over in a close neighborhood. I call them and they tell me they can't send anyone out to come check my vehicle they just worked on. Ended up losing my vehicle and job over an oil change from Jiffy Lube. Their oil is crap!! So are their filters!!! I don't recommend anyone going to any Jiffy Lube!!! They robbed me.

    Worst experience of my life. Went in for oil change 9/27/15. Came out with a lemon - total loss of vehicle because of improperly installed drain cap. 10/3/2015, while driving on freeway, oil started spewing everywhere. The engine was damaged. Jiffy Lube accepted responsibility and deemed car to be a total loss.They offered less than the lowest KBB value for a different (lesser value) model and unwilling to reimburse for out of pocket expenses and inconvenience. The warranty department was beyond rude, threatening and had absolutely no sense of urgency.

    The issue still hasn't been resolved and most likely I will have to go to small claims court. They offered $2,570 for 2004 Hyundai GLS, which was in excellent condition when we brought it in. I searched the entire USA and can't find similar vehicle for less than $4,500. Besides the inconvenience of buying a new vehicle and getting rid of lemon and all the ongoing costs I will likely be out $5K until I get to court.

    I went to the Jiffy Lube in laurel md for a oil change on Friday October 16 2015 before a trip to NYC. An hour before I was to arrive in New York my check engine light came on and my transmission started to slip. I contacted OnStar in which they ran a diagnostic test and indicated three indicators pointed towards my transmission computer not working properly. After stopping pass an auto shop I had the computer to the transformation reset and it worked fine because I did not drive while in New York. And the ride home about two hours into my trip my check engine light came on again and my transmission started to slip yet again. By this time my RPM were revving up to about 4 to 5 notches while doing 60 on the highway. I finally made it home and set an appointment to take my car to the dealership.

    When I got to the dealership my car no longer went in reverse or low gear. When the technician came back to me I was told I needed a new computer for the transmission, there's a hole in there with metal shards and fluid that was black as tar. My transmission burned from the inside out so he said it needs all that and a new transmission.

    After venting on Facebook a friend of mine's indicated he went to the same shop on Saturday which was the following day from when I went in that day his four-wheel-drive light and check engine light will not go off. He too is having issues with his vehicle. He will be taking his vehicle to the shop tomorrow to see what exactly is wrong with his car. The crazy thing about it is I've had my car less than a year and lucky for me it's still under warranty. All of my paperwork indicated my car was just fine, transmission checked, fluids checked, and I get regular maintenance on my traverse. I'm not sure what they did to my car but I'm convinced they did something. There was no indication that my transmission or anything was wrong with my car until this oil change. This needs to be addressed asap. Some has to be held accountable for this.

    Yesterday, 10/18/15, I visited a local Jiffy Lube for an oil change with a GROUPON coupon. The store manager immediately informed me that there would be a $58 upcharge for synthetic oil because of warranty requirements on a Lexus. I have had this car for over 7 years and it is no longer under warranty. I also keep my owner's manual in the car, and it says nothing about synthetic oil. After much resistance, he conceded. Later, he tried to tell me that the tires did not need rotating and 2 lug nuts with no chrome finish were rusted out. He never vacuumed the trunk as I requested and did not apply the Rain-X. He finished with a nasty grease mark on my driver's side floor mat.

    It took several emails to Jiffy Lube and then me posting on their Facebook page, to finally get their attention. My experience was related to the franchise owners, who put me in touch with another manager at their store, Melissa. She remembered me and was such a huge help. She was very polite, professional and did her best to expedite my refund, which came about two weeks later. Thank you, Melissa! Not sure about going back to Jiffy Lube though, there are a lot of complaints about stupid mistakes that happen continuously. I don't want to have to go through this inconvenience again!

    To make a long story short, I went to Jiffy Lube for a quick oil change. Someone did not tighten down my coolant cap all of the way. So for 5 days I was driving around while all of the coolant was coming out of my car. I didn't notice until I was on the freeway and my engine temp gauge was in the red zone and my car started dinging a warning bell. Had to pull over and found the loose cap, and discovered no coolant in car. I had to add coolant and got back home. Next day I took car back in to Jiffy Lube, they were very sorry, filled it up and sent me on my way. I got home and noticed later, there was fluid dripping all over. I took car back to Jiffy Lube the next day.

    I was watching as all of the employees gathered around my car and were looking pretty serious. The rude manager came back in to inform me my radiator was cracked. As soon as I said it was from driving with no coolant, he was very quick to tell me that cannot cause a crack, and I needed to get it fixed (no kidding). I said I disagree and this was not a coincidence. At this point I knew I would get nowhere with these employees so I then went to my mechanic and he verified that yes indeed that will cause a crack. My estimate is $500 to replace my radiator. I have sent a message to Jiffy Lube's Customer Service Dept. I am waiting to hear from someone about how they intend to address this issue. Will update. If I do not get a satisfactory resolution, I will contact an attorney.

    I am not one to write reviews, but the latest experience at Jiffy Lube sent me over the edge. I've been to Jiffy Lube a few times for inspection/emission. On one occasion, the tech had opened my glove compartment and sifted through my information to find my registration. I had already given them the registration card which gave them all the information they needed to do the inspection. I called and complained. They apologized and said that was not supposed to happen. On another occasion, I was told my air filter needed to be changed. The filter was fine. Jiffy Lube looks for every reason to sell you something -- especially when you don't need it.

    I thought I'd give another location a try today. I told the tech I just wanted an inspection/emission and not to check the filter or anything else not related to that job. Twenty minutes later, the tech asked me to follow him. He told me they couldn't get my car to start and that the battery was bad. I had started the car several times that morning and driven it to several places. I told him to put my car down and that I was leaving. I drove 200 yards to the nearest O'Reily. They checked the battery, starter and alternator. All checked out fine. The car starts fine. The curious thing is my clock was blinking meaning someone had disconnected the battery. I've had no problems with the battery since. It fires up every time.

    Every company has to have a business model and that model has to include a profit. I think Jiffy Lube's business model includes selling customers on every single item they can find regardless of whether it's justified or even true in some cases. Buyer beware -- they will sell you new floor mats if they could and might even claim it's a required item for the inspection. Not a trustworthy company.

    I recently (Oct. of 2015) went to Jiffy Lube in Independence MO for an oil change and they put 2 quarts TOO MUCH in. I drove 100 miles west before I realized it. White smoke came out of my exhaust and there were noises under the hood. I finally checked the oil myself and found it was overfilled. So, I took it to Jiffy Lube in Topeka to fix the problem. They confirmed it had too much oil by 2 quarts and they drained the oil and put more back to the right level -- but no one was concerned that it could have hurt my engine (and an engine was just put in a few months earlier). I was annoyed with this. I tried to file a claim with Jiffy Lube, thinking they'd take responsibility -- but they didn't.

    And the woman in the Jiffy Lube corporate office who handles claims, whose name is Shanta, was rude to me and not nice. She kept me on hold (I think on purpose to antagonize me), she got me confused with claim, and didn't call me back when I called her and left a message. And then when she said someone would contact me regarding this, no one did.

    I think very little of Jiffy Lube. I think people need to know they don't guarantee their work or their mistakes, even though it says in their building they do, they really don't. Beware of them and you're better off going to a real mechanic to get a oil change. Jiffy Lube isn't reliable and they aren't responsible, as they should be, when they make a mistake. I know this first-hand. I regret ever going there and I'll NEVER DO IT AGAIN. And when I asked for paperwork that shows too much oil was put in and the excess oil was drained out, I was refused this. Obviously Jiffy Lube doesn't want me to have proof of their mistake.

    400 Weston Pkwy, Cary, NC 27513 - I went for a state inspection for my vehicle at this location on Sept 24, 2015 since it is near to my office. This was my first ever inspection since my car is new. I called up before going and I was told that it would take only 15 mins and since my car is new it would only involve safety inspection. When I reached there, I was asked to wait in the waiting room for about 35 mins.

    After the inspection was done, the lady called me up to the reception for payment. She was not polite at all. When I saw the bill, it was $10 more. They had charged $10 as tint test fee. This was not told to me before they took my car for inspection. Since it was my first inspection I was not aware for this fee. When I asked what does that test mean, she was very rude and was not willing to answer. I asked again and then she said it is for verifying that tint is correct. My point is this should have been told to me before starting with the inspection. Overall I wasn't happy with the treatment I received at this Jiffy Lube location. I don't think I am ever going to visit this location again and would be suggesting my friends and colleagues not to go there either.

    Jiffy Lube is ripping people off. They advertise $19.99 oil change, but my actual bill for an oil change runs about $80. They add charges like "special filter charge" for changing my oil filter for an extra $20. The base oil change itself was $60 with an extra $7.50 added on top for 5W20 synthetic blend. Then for a tire rotation it is an extra $35.99. That is insane!!! The local Ford dealership uses a very similar blend and even rotates the tires for under $40.

He then carries in my engine and cabin air filters asking "Are these dirty enough for you" and quoted me 30 dollars for the cabin air filter and 20 for the engine air filter. To which I decline.

When the vehicle was given back to me after the oil change the glove box was left opened and almost on the ground without placing it back in its original position and with all my papers on the floor. As I drove away the check engine light went on and stalled at the STOP sign. I turned it back on and at the traffic light it stalled again. I contacted Jiffy Lube and spoke with the manager and he stated to bring the vehicle back. As they were checking the vehicle he stated that when they pulled out the air filter debris fell into the lines and ruined a couple of sensors. They stood with my car leaving me stranded and returned it on Sunday morning.

    When they arrived they were quick to leave and I told them that I wanted to test drive it first and sure enough it stalled on me 3 more times. I handed the vehicle keys back to the manager and stated that it was still stalling and that I wanted a perfectly good driving vehicle back as the way I gave it to them the day that I handed the keys over for the oil change. The vehicle was brought back to me Sunday evening and when I was going to work Monday morning the vehicle stalled on me many more times. I called the shop back again and once again I was in their shop trying to fix the prob. I was so upset that I told them that I was taking it to the dealer and the invoice will be given to them once I receive it for payment.

    When I took it to the dealer the service advisor stated that when Jiffy Lube removed the air filter they were supposed to vacuum out the canister where the filter is placed in because it collects dirt and he stated that even a wing from a fly can ruin the performance of the vehicle. Kia service advisor also stated that it damaged the main one which was the cam shaft sensor. This sensor causes the vehicle to take in too much gas into the engine and cause it to misfire and throws off the timing. Cost of damage $548.00 which Jiffy Lube will be paying for it or will be seeing me in small claims court. WORD OF ADVICE; NEVER GO TO JIFFY LUBE FOR ANYTHING.

    #Jiffylube3176 Today, 8/19/15 at approx 5 pm, I arrived at my local Jiffy Lube to have the oil changed in my vehicle, it is a 2011 Mazda CX-9, with 55,000 miles. When I arrived an employee approached and asked what I needed? I replied that I needed an oil change. He let me know there would be an hour wait, there were two vehicles ahead of me. I thanked him and said I wanted the $29.99 value oil change and the fluids topped off. He replied "That is not the oil that I want, you want the synthetic blend." I replied "this vehicle has never had a synthetic blend put in it at..." The employee interrupted me and said it came from the factory with a synthetic blend in it. I replied, "Jiffy Lube has never put a synthetic blend in it (I have always used Jiffy Lube to change the oil in this vehicle except when I was on vacation and I used a Mazda dealership that time)."

    He then insisted I replace the used oil with the synthetic blend. I said "no thank you" and left the Jiffy Lube. When I got to the next quick oil change place, I asked which type of oil they would be using to replace what is in my vehicle, they replied, "what the manufacture suggests". I asked them to look it up and tell me before starting. They pulled me into the bay and I popped the hood, to find that my vehicle recommends SAE 5W-20 right on the oil cap! You see I knew what the manufacture suggested, I knew where to look and I knew I had looked it up in the owner's manual before. It is on page 8-19 of the owner's manual.

    While I was getting the oil changed I called my local Jiffy Lube and asked if they could tell me which oil was used in my car the last time I had it in their shop. I gave them the tag number ** and was told it was they put in 5W-20 conventional oil, each time, as I requested several oil changes ago. I asked why the employee that approached me, in the line, would tell me the value oil was not what I wanted and that I HAD to use a synthetic blend. The employee on the phone replied that his co-worker was only trying to educate me.... I interrupted him and said "he was not trying to educate me he was trying to "upsell" me." I heard more partial excuses and ended the phone conversation with my, admitting I would no longer be bring my vehicle to Jiffy Lube.

    Please, Jiffy Lube, use this as a training exercise... Not everyone likes being forced, pushed, scared, or bullied into an "upscale" of synthetic blend that is only 20% synthetic and 80% conventional oil, at a higher price. People can't afford the extra costs for that 20%. People also can't afford Jiffy Lube not removing ALL the old oil from the oil pan at an oil change. I had to ask the employees to be sure and drain it completely before refilling. I understand why your employees are taught to watch for the "stream pull back". Not all the old oil is removed, so less has to be put in and how is that looking out for the customer?

    I brought my car in for a simple oil change. The employee then said I needed to replace my engine filter. He would take $10 off if I did it here. Once they were done, I get in car, turn key… car won't start, beeping noise on while key is out of ignition. I ask worker to check it out. They do can't find a problem and slowly one after the other start disappearing. This is a 2014 Chrysler 200 and I have NEVER HAD CAR ISSUES UNTIL THIS VISIT.

    I went in for the first time to Jiffy Lube store# 2270. The people seem to be reading from a script. I was asked which type of oil quality I wanted. It hit me, how would I know if my husband is the only one who brings the vehicles to service. I went for the cheapest. $44.95 was the price printed next to the picture of the oil. My bill was $116.13. I waited for almost one hour and then the salesman stated that I needed a new battery, and he showed me a piece of old receipt, the Battery test showing that my voltage was 11.05v. He kept insisting that the battery need it to be replaced. The way the representative came across alert my suspicion so I refused for a battery replacement, and I requested a copy of the battery test receipt which he gave it to me with hesitation. I knew that if my battery was that low my car battery will be dead.

    I went to O'Reilly Auto Parts immediately after the oil change for a second opinion and the salesman confirmed what I suspected, the battery was good and the Voltage read 12.6. He also stated that if my battery was that low in voltage my car battery will be dead. Now, I question if this sales representatives make their quota by lying to customer especially women - that are known to be very inexperience with automobiles and how they work. I must lack of inexperience of how new vehicles work now in days with the new technology, but I am certainly know when someone is trying to take advantage. I was raised around mechanics and I know a little about batteries for sure.

    I also question what else they added to my bill. I went for an oil change which is around 50.00 and I ended up with a bill of $116.13 which let me to believe that something is definitely wrong here. I will not go back to this location - EVER. With such lack of integrity anything goes. GIRLS, beware of this scam. If you are not having issues starting your car, do not agree for a battery replacement. What a terrible first time experience.

    Jiffy Lube 2299- 4835 Louetta Rd Spring TX 77388. Never take your car here. They are irresponsible. On July 22, 2015 I took both of my cars for an oil change. In one of my cars they told me I needed new wiper blades. I told him they are 2 weeks old!! He said "oh sorry". In my VW Tiguan, they told and showed me my air filters and said they need replacement. I declined. Went home and on July 24, 2015 I started noticing some wet spots on my driveway. I'm no mechanic, so I thought it was the water from the air conditioning. Until a few days ago the spot was getting bigger and not drying up, so I touch it and it was oil. I checked the oil level on my VW Tiguan and it was down 1/2 a quart. I took the car back to Jiffy Lube on August 7, because I thought maybe they left the drain plug loose.

    The manager told me that my drain plug was leaking because it was stripped. I said, "well I brought you my car in perfect condition and no leaks and you gave me the car back leaking oil". He said, "if you look at your invoice, we wrote in there that when you brought your car in, it had a strip plug and to take it to a mechanic". I didn't think much of it, until I got home and thought about it, and said something is not correct. So I called the manager again, told him, they have to be responsible for the strip plug and that their employees overtighten the plug and stripped it. He did not accept that. He told me that the incident happened on the place I changed the oil last and that they put the info in my invoice. I told him that nobody said anything at all about a strip plug and that just because they put that in my invoice it don't mean that someone told me about it.

    I said why your employees showed me my air filters but will not show me a strip plug, which can be a safety issue?? He said he was not there and can't say if they told me or not. I said, "no way this car never leaked oil until it came to your place". He declined to help me. I told him that they had to fix my car, then he laughed at me and said, "no we are not". I asked his name and he hung up on me. I called the Customer Service and a lady named Teresa took all my info and forward it to the regional manager Mr James **. He called me. We went over the info. He said he will call me back. When he called back he just repeated what the store Manager said and told me that he will not authorized the repairs to my car stripped plug.

    He said that the mechanic wrote the info in the invoice and I signed it. I told him, "I signed it because nobody told me that there was something wrong with the plug and who reads all the info printed on the invoice?" I told him that his employees stripped the plug and to cover their back, they wrote it on the invoice without telling me about it. I asked him to give me his boss name and number, he declined. I asked him to give me the name in corporate office of who can I talk to, he again declined. So now I'm stuck with a car leaking oil. So I paid 63.00 for an oil change and they damaged my car. What to do???

    Making a mistake is one thing, but refusing to acknowledge your mistake is unforgivable. The short story is they left my radiator cap loose and on my way out of town on a long trip, the car overheated because all of the coolant had evaporated. When I called to tell them, the manager completely refused to consider the possibility that it was their fault. And I KNOW it was their fault. I had the oil changed 2 days before my trip and NOBODY else was under the hood in those two days. Never had a problem prior to this and haven't had a problem since. I tried multiple times to reach the local franchise. No response. I called corporate and they forwarded my inquiry. No response. I don't do business with anyone that cares that little about their customers. And let me be clear. I don't want anything from them. I'm not looking to get anything for free. I just like being treated with respect. They have earned this extremely bad review!

    I changed my oil myself and at the same time my friend had Jiffy Lube do his. After about a week with mine having more than twice the miles put on after the changes, we were looking at the dip sticks on both. Mine was still clear and tricky to read the stick. His was dark and over full. I told him "something didn't look right here." He didn't watch or see or know anything on what they did. He just said "oil change" that's it to them.

    So first I looked at the filter, it looked new (tech select switch he didn't specify to them - not their fault). Anyway I drained it into a drain pan, it was terribly dirty and chunky with very little viscosity. So I said watch this and I took that crap and tried to pour it through a funnel with a screen in it into another container. That screen plugged up over and over. We were so mad that we lost count. The only thing I can come up with is that they changed the filter and topped it off, over filling it and sent him on to believe he could get another 3000 miles from it. To me I don't think he would have made it to the next change without something in the motor plugging up!

    On July 19, 2015, my husband took our 2004 Kia Sorento in for an oil change and transmission service. We had no issues with the vehicle prior to this visit. The next day my husband calls me to say he needs to be picked up because the vehicle won't start. The battery is charged, but the starter won't engage. He checked the oil, which was fine at that time, but both of us are baffled by this because this hasn't occurred previously. The next morning after dropping him off work he tries to start the vehicle, and it works. We switch vehicles, and I drive the Kia straight to the dealership before going to work. When I arrive, one of the service techs points out that oil is leaking from my engine. The vehicle drove fine the entire way there. After a couple of hours, the dealership calls me to advise I need a new engine.

    They originally contacted Jiffy Lube for me, and Kia told me that Jiffy Lube will replace my engine and provide me with a rental car. I didn't get the rental car until Friday July 24, 2015. Their Corporate office just called me yesterday stating an inspector would look at my vehicle either today or tomorrow to determine if they are at fault and responsible. After a little of online investigating, something needs to be done with Jiffy Lube. They are screwing people out of money and providing horrible services.

    Davie Jiffy Lube bought out small business owner and quality went down and price went up. They constantly try to upsell. They tried to sell me a battery for my brand new truck, said the cold cranking amps were only 49, which is impossible because my truck started fine. It only needed the terminals cleaned which I did myself on 2 minutes. I will tell everyone I know not to use them.

    Truck was overfilled with oil. Threw a rod and I'm going through a nightmare trying to contact them and come to a resolution. Calls, emails, etc. to both local and corporate offices go unanswered and unreturned. Horrible customer service. Very unhappy with how this is being handled.

I went for the cheapest. $44.95 was the price printed next to the picture of the oil. My bill was $53.87. He stated, and it is printed on my bill, that I needed a new battery, wiper blades and coolant. I refused, knowing fully well that the blades were replaced 3 months earlier and the battery was 1 year old and still under warranty. I went to O'Reilly Auto Parts immediately after the oil change and the salesman confirmed with me that the blades are in perfect condition, the battery is good and the coolant was slightly low. I got my coolant there. Now I questioned if my oil was ever really changed or if they reused old oil. With such lack of integrity anything goes.

    Took my 2002 Yukon XL to the Jiffy Lube on Joppa Rd for a Signature Service last weekend. After I left I only drove about half a mile and the check engine light came as well as the check oil light came on. I took it back to Jiffy Lube and was told that it was just a faulty sensor and I was told to reset the battery, which I did. I had to go out of town for work all week and as I was driving home from Pa. the truck started making a strange noise and didn't want to run right. I finally got it home and called Jiffy Lube. The manager came to look at it and told me that my front differential plug had been loosened, all the fluid ran out and it was destroyed. When I spoke to the district manager he said that could not have happened there and was not taking responsibility for it. Now I am fighting to get them to fix what they destroyed.
