I am
writing to you as a former j-lube employee to inform you
of my experiances. I have whitnessed several several cases
of "guests" recieving poor quality work done or getting
charged for services that where not performed including
but not limited to; fuel filters not being changed, on
vehicles where the filter is in or above the fuel tank I
was instructed to "just pop the line so the customer
smells the gas"and light good bulbs being replaced
especially on fleet vehicles (after I filled afadavit the
manager was subsiquently terminated). The most recent
manager has charged for engine flushes when we where out
of fluid and used trans fluid to do the flush (trans fluid
is not a lubricant but a hydrolic fluid but does contain a
detergent, this is not good for your engine). I refused to
help him on a trans service when he cut into the cooling
line to hook up the machine becase it was easier, this is
not company policy to cut into lines! I have also
whitnessed the same manager fix a leaky transmission line
(that did not leak prior to service) with silicone gasket
sealer. This will not hold pressure and can get into the
hydrolic system and could ruin or cause thousans of
dollars in repairs (the district manager was present and
also whitnessed this geing done and found it acceptable).
Pressure sales are
also VERY common!
I was eventually
terminated for "calling my manager out" for not following the process
or being a team player and helping out since we where short staffed on
a busy day and had an employee who was not trained. He was more
interested in pulling parts off the next car so he could get sales. I
had four managers in the time of six months.

Outrageous Pricing
Today I went to Jiffy Lube because I
was in a hurry and needed a faster service not realizing
the simple oil change would cost me $58.00 no replacments,
levels of fluids fine, floors and windows were already
clean nothing but a oil change????? Will never return to
a Jiffy Lube again pricing is outrageous! How Do you say
in business????

Matthew in Millersville, MD Overfilled Oil
So I JUST finished breaking in my
2010 G37 sedan and I wanted to get my oil replaced so I
took it to the JL in Millersville MD. The manager was
very courteous and seemed very knowledgeable about the
different types of synthetic oils. I opted to go with the
Penzoil Ultra rather than the usual Mobil 1 switch, so a
few minutes after we finished discussing the oil I went
with he called me back over to tell me that the
manufacturer recommends 10 quarts of oil! I was rather
shocked to hear that, and I gave him a puzzled look, but
he said that's what they called for so I agreed to pay the
additional costs for the extra oil. So the oil change is
complete and I get into my car, immediately I feel engine
vibrations through the break pedal, steering wheel, the
entire dashboard for that matter. I also noticed that the
car has no power whatsoever. So I limp along to my
dealership and tell them the symptoms but of course they
are jammed pack and didn't have any rentals so I had to
drop it off. Not being in the position to drop it off
just then, I limp back over to JL and speak to the
manager. I explain what's going on and he pulls the car
back into the bay to have a look over. Turns out they
jammed WAY too much oil into the car. I asked how that
could happen, and he said that the two employees who did
the work "dropped the ball". So they drained all the oil
out again and put in the correct amount of Mobil 1. I was
also refunded the cost of my oil change. The engine
vibrations seems to have gone away, but my lack of engine
power still feels like a problem. I'm dropping the car
off at my dealer on Monday and requesting they do a
complete inspection of the car and transmission. If there
is any physical damage done to the engine, I'm hoping JL
will step up to the plate and pay for any damages.

Trent in Tacoma, WA Mysterious Problems
I am a
soldier in the U.S Army, I just bought a used car with the
oil change light on, my dealer gave me some money out of
my down payment to get oil change, So I went to jiffy lube
in tacoma WA, (outside of Joint base lewis-mchord where
I'm stationed) When I bought the car I went over
everything with a flashlight and a fine toothed comb,
everything checked out. I went on my lunch break in
uniform, was quickly ushered into the waiting area, and
not allowed to watch the service on my car due to
"Insurance" reasons. I then get almost ran over by the
tech who says all my engine gaskets are leaking. Then
after they drained all the oil out, and made so I couldn't
drive off they inform me all they have is pennzoil, and
that it cost 36 bucks, blah blah blah, tried to sell me a
cabin air filter for 45 dollars, and then gave me a card
for a shop to fix my "Oil leaks", which said it would cost
2500 dollars to do so. I took the leaking car back to
dealer, who had service tech look at it, he tightened 6
oil pan bolts and car hasn't leaked since. My oil pan was
tampered with mysteryiously and they are the only ones who
touched it.Someone wanted to screw over a soldier in
uniform with the "Oil leaks" and the other shop, also was
told that the transmission and coolant should be changed
and that was gonna cost 300 bucks, I declined and left,
I'm a former auto collision tech, ASE, and ICAR certified,
I WILL NOT BE TOLD WHATS WRONG WITH MY CAR BY A 18 YEAR
OLD KID WHO TOOK A TEST TO CHANGE OIL!!!!!!!, nor do I
agree with pennzoil being forced in my car when I don't
have a choice in oils, this is total bull. any way
my car is fine now and I put castrol GTX in, running great

Chuy in Dupont, WA Failed Simplest Checks
My 2008 Honda Civic needed an oil
change so i decided to take it to a Jiffy Lube in Dupont,
WA. They charged me $37.00 Dollars including a 15%
discount for new customers for the basic oil change they
call conventional oil signature service. When I got my
car back, I notice the floors were still dirty with the
same trash i left inside before giving them the keys.
Windshield was still dirty, But the mirros looked like
they used a dirty web cloth to wipe it with. They did not
reset the service message. if they failed to do the most
simplest and noticeable checks in my car.... how do I know
they did actually check all the other fluids they're
claiming they checked? I am so disappointed with their
service and I will never use their service again.

Employee
I been reading all your
experiences in this website and i am alarmed of business
of this kind still operating and as a customer and ex
jiffy lube employee im going to tell u whats wrong. In the
first place they run the place like a production line, on
top of that, under staffed and many times with underpaid
and poorly trained personnel and many times just plain
careless, why? to save money and provide a fast service
with poor quality. They have plenty also of very unhappy
employees that work like slaves for minimun wage and no
raises and and are constantly harassed and pressure by the
manager that only care for their bonuses. The sales people
are required to sell an average of $50.00 to $60.00 for
each ticket disregard if the customer needs the service or
not. most of the time the person that actually change your
oil (yes that poor soul in the lower bay) works alone and
is pressured by the other employees and managers to keep
the pace no matter the amount of cars in the shop and is
overwhelmed during rush hrs. which means big chances for
mistakes even if he is good at it cause hes got constant
pressure from the people upstairs. As a result theres a
lot of lack of comunication and mistakes are made and
sometimes even skip things like checking the gear boxes on
purposes just to accelerate the service time frame!.
Imaging that... 3 or 4 vehicles at the same time in the
summer time with the heat of the exhausts at a pace of 60
to 80 cars per day? But hey all they care is their $60.00
dollar ticket. This unfortunate cause good mechanics
reputation like myself gets damaged and as a customer ur
car gets damaged. This was from the state of Virginia,
lets all thank the DM, mr. all high and mighty: Mr.
Tanner. So please, all of u out there theres plenty of
other places to take your vehicle! dont go to jiffy lube!

Flush Damages Engine
Took my 2006 Mazda RX-8 to Jiffy
Lube #1260 in Bonita Springs, Florida to have an Oil
Change and a Fuel System Flush since my Gas Mileage was
declining. Took them about 10 minutes for the Oil and
about 5 for the flush. I took the car back to work after
and when I went to get lunch my Check Engine light came on
and White plumes of smoke came billowing out of the hood
and exhaust. I immediately called and was told it is
"normal" after a fuel system flush to have smoke
afterwards. Oooook? I have never had it done so I took
them for their word on that. They reset the check engine
light and I went on my way. 2 days later my Car would not
start. After 2 hours I finally got it started but the
nasty check engine light was back. I took it back yet
again and they told me the codes were triggering from my
O2 sensor and Misfired spark plugs. I left it at that with
plans to have Tire Kingdom check the plugs and sensor when
I planned on taking it to them for my tire (have a nail in
it!)
So today, 3 weeks after My oil change and the
flush, my engine light was on again. My normal gas mileage on a full
tank was between 280 to 320 miles per tank, before the flush it was
between 240 to 250 (hence the flush) HOWEVER AFTER the flush, I was
only able to get to BARELY over 200 miles off my tank of gas. I
informed Tire Kingdom today when I arrived what had gone on with Jiffy
Lube, so they did a full system check, and guess what? My Engine is
fried! TK Immediately got in touch with the Dealership to verify the
cause of the damage. The fuel Flush (which I was informed should take
30 minutes and NOT cause white smoke,) had damaged the Secondary
Shutter Valve, Auxiliary Valve, Solenoid and the Intake Manifold
Gasket. Grand total in damage? $2200 USD!!! W T F! Angrily I called
Jiffy Lube ASAP and informed them they WILL be paying to fix this,
they have no option unless they wish me to get my lawyer involved.
Wilmer, at JL,
informed me to have TK send them all the info
on what needs to be replaced, etc. so JL's insurance will pay for the
damage. Still awaiting contact from TK and JL, but now I am without a
vehicle until god knows when. Dear Jiffy Lube, EAT MY A**!!!

Irena in Temecula, CA Took Advantage of
Woman
I driving Audi A 4/ 5 XJP963 / what
is requiring synthetic oil. I was many years
customer at Jiffy Lube at Temecula CA on Rancho California
Rd. where I went all the time/ years for oil change with
my Toyota Camry and I paid around 30 $ . I have new car
Audi A 4. I take it twice to Audi to shop at
Carlsbad for oil change, where I paid for oil change
around 80 $, but I get superb service with all pampering.
I decided to save some $$$ and do this service by
my house at my old place - Last Saturday I stopped by my Jiffy Lube
and ask them how much will cost change Audi oil there/ what is
requiring synthetic oil. They told me about 39 $ I know
the oil cost around $ 6…./ and is require maybe 4 quartz ????/ oil
filter on my slip indicate $5.99 but I was Ok with 39 $ - 40 $ price
of oil change.
So, yesterday I pull my car in just before
closing time - and one employee take the car and other was putting
enter to computer/ employee entry MTL1 JMC at 30690 Rancho California
Rd. Temecula CA 95 591/ tell. 951 694 5460 / Joshua Chanmberland/
I was standing next to him by his work station
outside when he put the information to computer. I told him I am a
long time customer, with my Toyota Camry / but he do not wanted it
bring it up on the computer and he put new info with Audi – what I was
OK with that.
Then I ask about the oil change price/ I guess
when last Saturday told me 39 $ - it will be same. This employee
– spill out 80 $ or so……………….they see what have to be done…………….I
mentioned him I paid this price in expensive Audi and I come here to
save and last Saturday they told me $ 39 $ , after this – employee JMC
told me maybe he give me 5 or 10 $ .He told me synthetic oil is very
expensive and hard to make it. But I know is cost around 6 $, because
I had to buy it previously, then he told me , it is a different
synthetic oil………and he told me oil filter cost 20 $...............but
on my slip he indicated for oil filter only $ 5.99
Then he told me they also vacuuming the car
inside – I told him that is no necessary – if I can save. It was
too late to pull my car back – because other employee take it.
So I do not had other choice – just go with that. This employee
also indicated – they have a lots of new employee and they give me the
wrong price…………..
I was charged $ 70.01 for this oil change, ,it
was end of the day , no other cars was there , so I get done after 5
minutes . On my jiffy lube pink working slip is service check
list, what is not was done, because I been watching them what they
done, they just changed my oil.
I get back the dirty car same way / I found with
Jiffy Lube is a not good deal/ with Audi I get at least pampered and
washed all my car and is clean. This experience not was pleasant
and I feel I was ripped OFF and Jiffy Lube stole my money and
take advantage of me because I am a woman.
After this I went to my daughter and son-n law
house and they was shocked also how much I paid for oil change with
you. I found very expensive this service compare with luxury
Audi service.

Carlos In: No Problems Out: Many
Problems
So I normaly change the oil in my
car, but being that I had just gotten this one and didn't
have any history on the vehiecle I desided it to take it
to jiffy lube. I show up with out a problem the changed my
oil. As I left the shop I notice that my rpm was shooting
up but that the car wouldn't go past first gear or past
20mph. So I turned arround, I had them check the car the
gave me some lame excuse that the car was taking in too
much cold air. So they told me that I was good to go. As I
left a second time the car was the same only that this
time arround the car did not make it back it deid on me I
manage to takeig back sema story they told me that they
didn't do anything to it and that there was nothing they
could do but to redo the oil change which I agreed to.
Minutes later the manager tells me that they used the
wring oil but that they are done as he is telling me that
they are trying to start the car but it would not start. I
exchanged words with the manager about having my car fix
but nothing I had to find my own tow truck to get it to
the shop and now the car needs a new fuel pump. I font
know what they did to it but I drove the car with out
any problems until I took it to get an oil change. Now I
have to fight and argue to have them cover the 500. Dollar
bill with my mechanic
[1515] Heather in Chicago, IL Denied
Damaging Vehicle
On Saturday, May 1, 2010, I
went to store #593 in Chicago, IL. I was getting the
signature service oil change, and also decided to have two
light bulbs replaced and the engine flushed. After
leaving the store and driving to the suburbs, I heard a
noise coming from outside the car. When I pulled over to
see what it was, I saw that the light cover from the bulb
that was changed was just hanging out. I tried to push it
back in place, but it would not stay. When I resumed
driving, I heard another sound from outside of the car. I
pulled over once again to see what the noise was, and saw
the shield under my engine dragging on the ground. It was
hanging on by one screw. The next day, I took it to the
Jiffy Lube store in Carol Stream, IL. There, Dwayne and
Steve exhibited exceptional customer service. They
apologized on behalf of store #593 and then proceeded to
inspect the problems they caused. They found that the
light cover had been broken and could not be fixed but
would need to be replaced. They also found that the
shield could not be fixed because too many screws were
missing and one part of it had broken. Finally, they
checked the oil change. They found that the engine had
not been flushed entirely and still contained cleaner.
The oil had been placed on top of the cleaner so that it
was overfull. Dwayne and Steve drained that and then
performed a new oil change.
The next day, I called the manager, Hector,
at store #593. He made excuses about how the shield had already been
broken and how they had flushed the engine several times. I explained
that neither of these had been problems upon my arrival at their store
and that Dwayne and Steve from the Carol Stream store were able to
almost immediately diagnose the problems and suggest solutions.
Hector called Dwayne and Steve to verify these problems and then
ordered a new light cover and engine shield. He made no reference to
the unacceptable oil change nor a potential refund of the $150 I paid
for these services, not to mention compensation for the time and
inconvenience of fixing the problems.

Cosmo in Flagstaff, AZ Air Filter Scam
I went to jiffylube to get an oil
change. After 20 minuites of refusing the upsells for a
dozen things that I knew had already been done the manager
brings out an absolutly filthy air filter and says that it
will be 15$ to replace it, and that driving with it
will damage my engine. The issue is that the air filter he
brought out was not from my car. Immediatly before going
to jiffy lube I had replaced my air filter. I tell him
that the filter he brought outbwas not from my car and he
proceeds to argue that it is. After 10 minuites I
tell them to stop trying to sell me things based on lies
and the manager just walks away. After I get my oil
changed I go to checker to buy new wiper blades and I
check my air filter. Not only did they put the filthy air
filter in my car, they stole my brand new filter and
didn't even close my air intake.
[1513] John
in Columbia, MD Overfilled Oil
I brought my ’03 Toyota Prius to
Jiffy Lube #152 in
Columbia,
Maryland for an
oil change. Upon entering my car after the oil change my
check engine light came on, and the engine sounded rough.
I notified the employee, who brought the car around. The
Jiffy Lube employee indicated that the same thing had
happened to a Prius a week earlier. I was assured that
only the oil was changed. I got back in the car to drive
home only to have the engine low complete power several
miles down the road. I had the car towed by Brookman
Towing (See Brookman Towing Invoice Attached) to the
nearest Toyota Dealer - Antwerpen Toyota (See Attached
Antwerpen Invoice). Antewpen inpected the car on 04/14/10
and determined that the car had been over filled with
oil. Attached to the invoice is a picture of oil in the
Throttle Body. There cost to clean all of the extra oil
out of the engine - $700, $105 for the diagnosis. The
cost was too much for me – I had the car towed to Discount
Auto and Brakes, that has more reasonable rates (See J&J
Towing Invoice - $121.00). In removing the oil from the
engine, Discount Brakes & Auto Repair counted 8 (eight)
quarts of oil in all. The cost for labor to undo all of
the damage done to the engine was $413.00 (including
kindly 10% Discount).
Total Cost for Jiffy Lube Over Filling My ’03
Prius with Oil, excluding all of my hassle:
Jiffy
Lube $33.02
Brookman Towing - $101.00
Antwerpen Diagnosis - $105.00
J&J Towing $121.00
Discount Brakes & Auto Repair $413.00
Total $773.02
[1512] Craig
PCV Valve Rip Off
First off let me state
that I have not had bad experiences at all Jiffy Lubes.
In fact it was the manager at a Jiffy Lube that clued me
into the fact that I was being ripped off by a different
Jiffy Lube. Before learning that 1) air filters are good
for tens of thousands of miles in most cars and 2) the
part takes less than a minute to change and retails for
about $7 dollars I used to get hit with the life or death
proposition of, "Sir can we speak to you (said in terms
normally reserved for the witness of a major crime or when
I relative has just been admitted to ICU), look at this
filter, it really should be changed, what do you think?"
It was not so much the filter but the fact that they
insisted on changing the PCV valve with it. Long story
short when asked about my filter at a different location I
said to leave it alone but was curious where the PCV valve
on my car was because I could never find it. The response
was there is a very good reason for that, my car does not
have a PCV valve. After informing me that I had been
ripped off and asking where I had been going I informed
him that it was another Jiffy Lube. He did not look
happy.
[1511] Bob in Wilmington, MA Taking Advantage
of a Woman
My wife went into the Jiffy Lube
in Wilmington, MA to get a simple oil change and spent
over $100.00! They told her she needed three different
kinds of filters and a higher grade oil than she needed,
they sold her anti-freeze that she did not need and
almost, almost convinced her that she needed to flush her
radiator and transmission . This is all on a 2001 Honda
Civic with 140,000 miles. In very good shape. We will
never visit a Jiffy Lube Center again and we will let our
friends know to never visit there .
[1510] Ben
Missing Oil Plug
I got an oil change and tire rotation
on Saturday, April 24, 2010. Today I found out that my
oil plug was not tightened enough and fell out of my car.
Oil was drained and since I only found out at the end of
the day I am not sure if there is any damage to my car.
Here is an account of what happened:
I got my oil changed on Saturday and after
getting oil I just drove to get gas and then home. I then drove my
car today car about 20 miles to my destination. When I came home I
normally park on the street but tonight there was no parking. I took
my wifes spot and parked in the driveway. My driveway is sloped and
when my wife parked her car she noticed that there was a big oil leak
coming from my car. The leak was heavy on my driveway but there was a
trail of oil going down the street in the same path I took. I checked
underneath my car and saw oil leaking from the engine. As soon as I
found out I called and left a message at the jiffy lube store but got
no response. I then drove my other car to the store, found out it was
closed so I went to a nearby auot parts store, bought oil, oil plug
and cleaner. I then went back home, installed the oil plug and oil. I
started my car and noticed it made a strange sound when started. I
then spent a couple hours cleaning my driveway and will need to spend
many more finishing cleaning it.
Update: I emailed corporate that same night and
it has almost been a week and they have not called me back. I also
called the store that same night. The manager of the store called me
back the next day. He said that something like that never happened at
that location before and he was going to reprimand the tech who was
working on my car. He said to bring it in and he would check the car
himself and if I ever wanted to come back he would give me a couple
free oil changes and he would work on my car himself. I explained I
was just worried about my car’s engine. He said he would run
diagnostics on my car and check if there were any problems. I then
brought the car in and the manager ran diagnostics and said there were
no problems. He also checked the car for any problems. He then said
he would reimburse me for my expenses the day when I had to buy the
plug/oil/cleaner which was around $40+. The weird thing was that he
then went to the ATM across the street and got cash. He came back and
gave me $60. This felt kind of strange and I was worried about
documenting problems, etc. so he told me that Jiffy Lube has a
warranty on the back of the receipt if there was a problem within 3000
miles. It felt like he just wanted me to go away. I am now going to
follow up with the corporate office to see if they could do anything.
[1509] Janice
Manager Still in Bathroom
i had my oil changed today. i paid
for the works. they said they would vacumn everything and
clean all the windows and check if anything else needed to
be done. i did this since i was nearly 100,000 miles on
the car. i waited 5 minutes and everything was done. they
even replaced 2 rear lights. they wanted to charge me
95.00 to replace the transmission fluid. i said no. i am
very glad i said no.
when i went to my car the trash on the floor was
on my seat. they said they do not vacumn seats so i did. the windows
were half done, in that one could easily see where the dirt was
missed. the carpet on the passengers side was as it was when i left
the car - pushed to the front with the same folds in place. the cup
holders had not been polished. where the polish was done, it was
obvious what had been missed.
my son checked the rear lights and one of the
lights is still out. But, I paid to have them replaced and working. I
did after all get pulled over on Sunday and received a ticket for the
lights being out, a whopping $94.00 ticket.
i called to speak to the manager and was told he
was in the bathroom. i waited 5 minutes. no one answered. i called
back and asked if he was finished in the bathroom and held on for
another 5 minutes - when the phone was picked up and disconnected.
i shall never go back here. it was not
even busy. they were sitting around talking.

Not Money's Worth
I went to Jiffy Lube for the first
time on 4-8-10 for the signature service oil change. The
services included in the service is supposed to be: change
oil, replace oil filter, visually inspect: antifreeze
levels, engine air filtration, serpentine belts, brake
fluid level, wiper blades, exterior lights, vacuum
interior floors, clean exterior windows, lubricate the
chasis, check air pressure, check and top off the
following fluids: transmission fluids,
differential/transfer case fluid, power steering fluid,
windshield washer fluid, & battery water.
I ask the worker when I arrived to make sure my
light on the dash saying service required be turned off after the
service. He forgot and I had to return to the jiffy lube location for
this to be preformed. Also I noticed my floor was not vaccumed and I
called to complain. They ask me to return again but I decided not to
go back. I wonder what other services they failed to preform and I
will never know. I paid $51.87 and I DO NOT FEEL I GOT MY MONEYS
WORTH!!!

New Transmission Leak
I have owned my used car for
15-months and purchased it fully serviced and inspected. I
park my car in my garage and have never had any problems
with leaks of any sort. At work, I have a parking space
that I regularly use and have never noticed leaks there
either. I took my car into have an oil change and the
service person told me that I needed an engine flush,
which I declined and just asked for an oil change. After
receiving service, my invoice indicated a transmission
fluid leak, which I thought was strange. Before returning
my car to my garage, I got out of my car and looked at the
floor - dry as a bone. All of the sudden, I am noticing a
small amount of fluid that looks like a light oil on my
garage floor. Coincidence? By the way, the service person
had an attitude and told me that Jiffy Lube (JL) does
engine flushes all of the time and is cheaper than an auto
mechanic, and when I declined she appeared to be upset
with me. Her demeanor went from friendly and cheerful to
stoic and flat. Needless to say, my faith in JL has vastly
decreased and now I have an appointment to take my car
into my mechanic for a thorough check to see if any signs
of sabotage are evident. I have a copy of this letter and
let us hope that the new leaks are just a coincidence.

Dick in Tucson, AZ Sold Unneeded Parts
When I took my car to Jiffy Lube in Tucson, AZ, (04/15/10) they tried
to sell my a replacement serpentine belt. My current serpentine belt
was good and I confirmed it at another non-chain auto service location
in Tucson where the belt and related parts had recently been worked
on.
Today I picketed the Tucson Jiffy Lube with my sign:
WARNING
YOU WILL BE SOLD
UnNEEDED
PARTS &
SERVICE
at
Jiffy Lube
The manager, Adrian, came out to the sidewalk where I was parading my
sign to ask what he could do. I told him he had already done it. And
after hesitation he did remember me and knew it was "the
serpentine belt"....he apologized and I told him that would not
be sufficient. What did I want. I said nothing less than a
public confession of the infractions, not just mine, but to
lengthy list on the web....."plus a action plan to correct the fraud
at all Jiffy Lube location. He indicated that ...."that wont
happen". I said that we'd continue to picket.

On Sunday May 18, I took my 2006
Hyundai Elantra to Jiffy lube for an oil change. While I
was there I was told that I needed my radiator flushed and
my transmission flushed.
After waiting 1 hour, I was told that my
thermostat needed to be replaced because they were unable to flush my
radiator. 30 minutes later I was driving on the Expressway and
MY engine over heated and my car stalled.
I had my car towed to the Hyundai Delership.
Today I was told that my radiator hose was not Placed back on properly
and that caused my engine to burn up and my radiator burnt up as well.
I've had my Hyundai for over 4 years and i've never had any problems
with my car. Please contact me with as soon as you can. I paid 138
dollars to Jiffy lube and now i'm out of money and my car. I was told
that replacing my enginee would cost me 3200$.

Arden in Leawood, KS Coin Holder Theft
I
went in to have my oil changed at the Jiffy lube at 10300,
State Line Rd., Leawood, KS, 66206. I had approximately
$25.00 in a flip down coin holder in the car. They stole
it. The next morning when I reached in to get money to
pay for a coffee I discovered it was gone. I went back to
the Jiffy lube and confronted the “manager” who said he
had never had such a problem before. I paid nearly $100
dollars for the work done on my car and they stole what I
guess they considered a $25. tip. I was told by the
Leawood police I could file charges—that Jiffy Lube saying
they were not responsible for anything left in the car is
a lie. The police explained that something stolen from
the car while it is under their control is a crime.
Ultimately, I decided not to bother the police with a $25
theft. I warn anyone and everyone to not go near this
store. I also think a newscast sting operation could do
wonders exposing these creeps. Thank you.

Incomplete Service
MY EXPERIENCE CONSISTED OF A LACK OF
SERVICE. JL STATEMENTS LIST ALL THE FLUIDS THEY ARE
SUPPOSED TO CHECK, INCLUDED ARE BRAKE TRANSMISSION POWER
STEERING AND WASHER FLUID. WELL THEY FILLED MY WASHER
FLUID BUT WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED THE OTHER FLUIDS , THE
BRAKE AND POWER STEERING WERE LOW, ALONG WITH MY BATTERY
FLUID. THEY ARE ALSO REQUIRED TO VACUUM THE FLOORS, IN MY
CASE THEY LEFT PAPER TOWELS ON MY PASSENGER SIDE( NOT
MINE) AND THEY DID NOT VACUUM AT ALL. THIS USED TO BE A
DECENT COMPANY BUT NOW LIKE OLD MOTOR OIL THEY ARE GARBAGE
AND NEED TO DISPOSED OF
