Yup, plus they use Pennzoil. Such a waste of money to go to a place like that.

If u took the time to buy ur own oil and then stood over them watching them do the work, why didn't u just do it urself? that way u wouldn't have had to babysit grown folk.

I always thought it would be good show for Oprah to do. Women and Cars. Hidden car buying tricks that salespeople & managers do. And typical car repairs tricks that shops do. Shows women how to predict and know what to do if they are in that situration.

Like cameras sort of thing...but on a test car taken by experienced female tech.

I used to go to jiffy lube but i change my own now. Good thing I guess. Don't parents teach their kids morals any more? If my mom found out that I was doing that, even today she'd smack me upside the head!

I wouldn't let Jiffy Lube touch my peanut butter!!!

A looooooong time ago I went to one right by my work to get an oil change. At the time, I only worked 5 hour shifts. I told them to call me when it was ready. As the 4th hour went by, I started to worry. When my shift was over, I went across the street to see what the heck was going on. To my surprise and without my authorization, they were putting coolant in my car for my A/C and my $19.95 oil change was now going to cost me $145!!! I said, "No way! Unplug and disconnect everything and I will get it fixed at a REPUTABLE garage that gets the owner's permission before they start the work." The guy looked at me like he didn't understand what I was saying. Dork. When I got home I reported that particular Jiffy Lube to the BBB. Most people I have talked to that had work done at Jiffy Lube usually say they wouldn't go back.

I went to get my transmission fixed in my old car and the shop had a huge sign posted that said they will charge you an extra $65 if you watch them do the work because they have to pay insurance just in case anything dangerous happens while they are working. It's starting to make sense now...
