Widespread Incompetence
Thank you for hosting this site! I have photos if you wish. Make no
mistake, I intend to bast the internet with my issue. I am pleased
that you are online as it goes to further state how widespread
their incompetence really is.

Didn't Change Oil Filter
Well I took my car to store
1801 queens NY , and I asked for an oil change , when I took the car
to the dealer rite after they said they didn't change my oil filter .
I'm very Unsatisfied , never again will I go to any jiffy lube.
[1973] Larry
in Johnstown, PA No 0W-20 Oil
Jiffy Lube refused to service
my automobile in Johnstown, PA after the owner/manager had a snit fit
because I asked for 0W-20 oil for my car and he said there was no such
product and he could give me 10W-30 or 10W-40. I left and returned
with 10 quarts of 0W-20 and told him here was that oil you said they
didn’t make. He claimed he stated no such thing and then said I had an
attitude and he had my car hauled out of the bay unserviced. I have
coming to this Jiffy Lube for 10 years. Obviously this owner/manager
isn’t too keen of a business operator. His snit fit cost him over
$20,000 in future business. I drive 45,000 miles a year.
[1972] Martinez
in Southern CA Employee
Jiffy lube management threatens to fire their
employees on a consistent basis in southern California. Why? That
does not create bettered employees or make them work hard. Training
and showing them what they do wrong makes them better. But managers
like Corey or others do not help create a better company. Teaching and
actual training does. Especially selling the products. Most people
come for the basic oil change unless they otherwise say so. The older
people or elderly are the ones who will spend more money to take care
of their cars. Please have management under the owners in southern
California stop threatening to fire and offer more training and
outstanding customer service.
[1971] Keith in Charlotte, NC Refused to
Honor Battery Guarantee
During a routine oil change
on 1/30/12 I was told my battery was bad and I should have a new one
installed. I paid $89.99 for a new battery. I was told the battery had
a 5 year guarantee. Less than 4 months later I went to my car to
drive home from work on 5/22/12 and my car would not start. The gauges
were flipping around like they were in a spasm but the car would not
even attempt to turn over. Thinking I had a major problem, since I
just bought the new battery I called and had my truck towed to East
Charlotte Nissan where I bought the car in May 2006. They ran
diagnostics on the vehicle the following day and found the only
problem with the car was the battery. Based on their experience, and
the tests they ran, they said the battery was performing as if it "had
a bad cell". They said my truck was otherwise in perfect condition
and passed all other tests. I called the Jiffy Lube where I purchased
the battery in January and told them of the situation. They told me
that I would have to bring them the battery to test. I drove to the
Nissan dealership, picked up the battery and took it to Jiffy Lube.
Jiffy Lube tested the battery and said it was fine.
The Nissan place said that
the battery was causing the problem with my car and that was all they
charged me for was the diagnostic to find out the problem. Because
Jiffy Lube was not willing to give me a new battery, I was forced to
buy yet another battery from the Nissan dealership so that my car
would run.
So, in short..... I came
into Jiffy Lube in January with a working battery.... They took it out
and charged me $89.99 for a battery that failed 4 months later and
cost me a $109.99 diagonistic fee and $96.00 for a new battery from
Nissan...... Plus all of my time and trouble. (Thank God Geico towed
my car for free).
The Jiffy Lube location
refuses to refund or replace the battery. They said they can't do
anything because their tests show the battery to be good. The test
they did was a quick test with a hand held device. The Nissan
dealership did an extensive multiple test study with the battery under
a load and not under a load. It failed the test. The true test is that
the Jiffy Lube battery will not run my car...... Test or no test.
Please look at my service
records. Other than times when I had my car in for regular service
with Nissan and had them change the oil, I have always used Jiffy Lube
since I bought my new car in 2006. I currently have about 128,000
miles on my truck which with an average oil change of 4000 miles, that
means I have used Jiffy Lube around 32 times in the past 6 years with
my truck. Each visit probably averages over $40.00. I have also used
Jiffy Lube for my annual vehicle inspections. I have been a loyal
customer, and yet I feel as if my loyalty has done nothing for me and
that I am being treated poorly in this situation.
[1970] RLD in Albuquerque, NM Common
Error Code Problem
I was not at all
satisfied with the service I paid for (paid for twice)... at the #2951
store. I requested an emissions
test. I did not have to wait long, but when the manager told me it
was completed... He was very careful no to tell me that the test had
failed until he had obtained
payment from me. I asked him why it failed. He showed me the error
code. I asked him what the error code was. He said that I would have
to take the truck to a mechanic and have it repaired. I when home
and did a little research on the error code. I found out that it is a
VERY common error code that is usually due to a loose gas tank cap. or
a cap that is worn and needs replaced. I called a different
Jiffy Lube
location and asked them about this common error code. They (store #
3162) said "yes", we are very aware of this code.... They suggested
that before I spend $$ for a mechanic that I should check the
condition of the gas
cap. they suggested that I determine if it needed cleaned or
replaced.....they provided some suggestions on how/where I could get
the error code cleared for free. They (store #3162) said to drive the
truck around for awhile and see if the error
reappeared prior to getting
it re-tested. Store # 3162 (later that day) retested my vehicle and
it passed with NO ERRORS. I had to pay $16.04 at store #2951 and
got NO help at all ... I paid $16.04 again for the same test at
store # 3162 (and received PLENTY of help and customer service). ONE
MORE THING: while I was in store #2951, the management allowed "street
peddlers" aka sales people to enter the waiting area and pester the
customers of
Jiffylube. I
was pestered by two guys trying to sell discount tickets to a pizza
joint... when I said no to them they continued around the room
pestering the other
jiffylube
patrons.. Is this condoned by Jiffy lube?

Marlena Engine Flush Destroys Engine
I'm writing to inform others
about my husband's and my terrible mistake of going to Jiffy Lube. We
went for a full-service oil change and ended up being sold a lot of
extras which we didn't need - including an engine flush - due to our
ignorance. The car, an 11-year-old Saturn which had enjoyed a long
life of regular oil changes and no mechanical problems, immediately
began to make some weird noises after the Jiffy Lube visit. Stupidly,
we ignored it because we could only hear it occasionally. However, a
couple months later the car broke down. It turns out the timing chain
was damaged - most likely during the engine flush - and it completely
ruined the engine. I know we bear a lot of responsibility for the
death of our car, but I am angry that Jiffy Lube badgered us into
getting an engine flush which wrecked the timing chain. They are a
terrible company! I have learned my lesson the hard way and I can only
hope that everyone will stop patronizing Jiffy Lube so they will go
away.
[1968]
Cale in Matteson, IL No Oil Destroys
Engine
On
4/25/12 11:15 AM . I went to Jiffy Lube # 2958 in Matteson Illinois to
get an oil change on my 2001 Toyota Celica GTS vin .They Charged me
$88.49. At the time of oil change the vehicle was in perfect running
order. No check engine light or any other lights for that matter,
however the following day 4/26/12 while traveling on Interstate 80
west bound the check engine light and oil light came on
simultaneously. At that time I pulled over and had the vehicle towed
to my local mechanic.He stated that the oil drain plug was missing and
it had not been properly tightened during the oil change which caused
the motor to release all the oil thus causing catastrophic engine
failure .In others words damaging my engine.Also my mechanic replaced
the oil drain plug and refilled the engine with oil, but the check
engine light remained on. On May 1st my mechanic spoke to Kimberly, an
employee at Jiffy Lube at the previously stated location and discussed
a time and date to inspect the vehicle. However due to scheduling
difficulties a time for inspection was never set in place.
On
May 3rd I proceeded to bring the vehicle to Jiffy Lube for inspection
where I met Kevin who inspected the car for Jiffy Lube.He proceeded to
inspect the car and take pictures to submit to their loss prevention
team. I returned the vehicle home where it sat until 5/10/12.There is
no other vehicle currently available at my residence and I needed to
apply for school so had no other choice but to drive the Celica to
Joliet Junior College. On May 10th while driving towards the college ,
I heard a loud metallic grinding noise and my oil light was now on! I
pulled the car over and called AAA to tow my vehicle. While waiting
for the tow truck I received a phone call from Kevin , the inspector
from Jiffy lube. I stated my current situation and he ensured me "it
was not Jiffy's Lubes fault".After that call I then received a call
from Ken another employee from Jiffy Lube who instructed me to have
the car towed to S & S Auto Center at 11101 South Harlem Worth
Illinois 60482.
Here I met the owner Ravi . Ravi stated that the fault was Jiffy Lubes
and any cost to repair the vehicle should be paid by Jiffy Lube. He
also stated I was the second vehicle that day to come in for damage
done by Jiffy Lube. On 5/11/2012 I received a call from Ken who stated
"things don't add up and I cannot process your claim". Now I am left
without a vehicle and no means to transport my mother Diane ,who is an
MS patient, to her doctors appointments or my girlfriend who depends
on me for a ride to work.
[1967] Azam in
Seattle, WA Car Broke Down
I took my wife's car to a
Jiffy Lube on Lake City Way in Seattle, WA on 5/12/12. Today is 5/14
and my wife's car broke down on our street. The car was running
perfectly fine before the oil change. I just dropped it off at the
mechanic, so we'll see what happened. Any tips of what to look for
would be great.
[1966]
Gregg in Spokane, WA Forgot To Replace Oil
On
4 May 2012 I took my 2006 Ford Ranger into a Jiffy Lube in Spokane Wa.
The store was on Francis and Wall. I requested a lube, oil, filter
and fuel injector cleaning. I left the store with my girlfriend to go
get something to drink. When I came back a technician with sunglasses
on his head was attempting to start my engine and was being
unsuccessful. When it did start the engine sounded rough and the
technician stated the reason it did was because the fuel injectors
were so clogged. Shortly after that the engine died. He attempted to
restart the vehicle without success to the point of where he almost
drained the battery. The vehicle did turn over but died shortly after
that. He attempted to start it two more times and it DID sound like
metal grinding on metal. He went and got the store manager (John) who
came out and started the vehicle. The tech with the sunglasses on
tried pinning the problem on my battery which is only 6 months old.
The manager came back and checked the oil after the engine died
again. He checked the oil dipstick and found that there was not any
oil in the engine. The engine had been drained and NO OIL WAS PUT
BACK IN. I have this documented on a receipt. The manager confirmed
there was no oil in the truck, however the idiot tech loudly stated
that it was LOW on oil.
I
was told the district manager was called and I was offered all
services for free or they would tow the truck to have it evaluated.
The manager said that since it was after 5 pm on a Friday he could not
get anyone to evaluate the damage right then and there, but in his
opinion nothing was wrong with the engine. I informed him that I had
already spoken to 2 mechanics over the phone and that I was owed a new
engine. He clearly stated that I was not going to get one. I told
him I would be more than happy to contact an attorney and we could
pursue this in court. I now have a rental car paid for by Jiffy Lube.
Here is the kicker. I do not live in Washington. I live in Utah and
have to be back at work on Thursday. The store manager was not solid
on his point that I had to be back to work on Thursday and that Jiffy
Lube could pay for the rental car until all repairs have been made.
Jiffy Lube does not employ mechanics. They are only oil jockeys.
Both the manager and the idiot technician tried to pass themselves off
as mechanics. They even wanted me to take my truck and drive it away
knowing how unsafe it was.
Because of Jiffy Lubes incompetence and mistreatment of my Truck my
vacation has been ruined. I am hiring an attorney to sue Jiffy Lube
for property damage.

Jesse in Montgomery, IL Kicked Out of
Store
I've been a JiffyLube customer since the early 1990's and have been
getting my cars serviced at the Montgomery, IL JiffyLube for 6 years
when I was kicked out this morning and told not to come back.
This morning I went to get my oil changed when I noticed the JiffyLube
"Manager" (Sergio) trying to open my air filter the wrong way. He was
in the middle of opening the air filter lid when I noticed that he was
just trying to pull up on the lid when the lid has 4 tabs on the back
that require the lid to be slid out forward first. I promptly jumped
out to the bay and had to physically stop him by putting my arm out in
front of his to stop him from doing any harm. I told him that it
needs to be slid out first. He told me that he has been doing this
for years and that if he broke something then he would pay for it. He
then opened the lid with a loud plastic snap yet fortunately did not
break the tabs. I informed him that he did not know what he was doing
because he didnt even look at what he was doing. He then said that he
was not going to service my car and then attempted to clip the air
filter lid back on and he forced the tabs back in and almost broke
them again. We then got into a conveersation where he said he was the
Manager there and I didnt believe him. I have been going there for 6
years and have never seen him. He then told me to leave and never
come back. I told him that I've been going to JiffyLube with this
particular car for 12 years and still he didnt care. He then walked
away and wouldnt pull my car out of the bay and made me do it (which I
know is against your company policy due to insurnace reasons.) I
didnt look at him or say anything more to him yet when I pulled out of
the bay he snarkily remarked "Have a Nice Day!".
At
minimum I deserve a response from his Manager and an in person apology
from him. You have lost a long term Jiffy Lube Customer due to his
completely unacceptable actions.
[1964] Flora
Blown Engine
I went into Jiffy
Lube and asked them if they could just look at my 2006 Toyota Carolla
because i noticed the oil leaking and just wanted to know where it was
leaking from so i could get a oil change done. Well they pulled my car
into look at it and the mechanic came in and showed me that there was
a hole in the oil filter I said OK so what they should have done is
put it back on there put a little bit of oil in it and sent me on my
way until i had the money to fix it. No instead they put there hands
on it and told me that they put a new oil filter on it and put oil in
it and then sent me on my way. Well the next day I was driving back
from the beach with my 3 yr old son in the car with me and my car
started ticking really really bad was sitting at a light and it tryed
cutting out on me. Well i mad it 2 sec after the light and into
advanced auto parts parking lot and the car shut off on me. So I went
inside and asked one of the guys to come out and look at it and he
came out and told me that there was no oil filter on the car and that
there was no oil in it. So i called Jiffy lube that I had gone to and
told them what was going on and what had happened and the same guy
that did the work came down and put another new oil filter on and oil
in it and started it up and it still had a little bit of a tick to it
and he told me to drive it around the parking lot to make sure it
would be drive able and be able to get it home and it still had the
tick to it.
So i went home and
it sat over night and the next day I got up and went out to my car and
checked the oil to make sure there was still some in it and it still
had full oil in it so I took my son to daycare and did a couple other
errands and after I had dropped my sister off at work I was driving
back home and it started ticking really really really really bad again
and tryed cutting out on me again so I drove it from 75th st to 26th
st where Jiffy lube was and pulled it in there again and they told me
that it had oil in it and that it was a engine rod or something to do
with that and told me to take it home and park it and that the
district manager would be getting in contact with me. I said ok i will
be waiting for the call. Well the next day the manager from the Jiffy
Lube called me and told me that they weren't reliable because there
was no invoice made up. So i told him well that is not my fault that
yall didn't do your job and make one up and that i have gone to a
different shops and everyone had made me up a ticket and proof that i
was there and that suppose able that my car had a little tick to it
when i pulled it in so i searched up on that because my uncle had been
a mechanic since he was 16 and he told me that every engine had a tick
to it no matter what year. So not my engine is blown still waiting on
the call from the district manager because i guess he was going to
look at the cameras to see if I was even there. And i told them and
they seen that Im 7 and 1/2 months pregnant with a 3 year old and I'm
a high risk pregnancy and this is my only form of transportation and
my only veichale that cant even drive and that its my only means of
transportation to take my son to day care and appointment to work this
car is my life and now I have nothing because of Jiffy Lube blowing me
engine up. They need to fix it they are 100 percent reliable and if
they don't then i will be getting a lawyer. So defiantly no going to
recommend jiffy lube to any of my friend or family that is 100 percent
for sure.
[1963] Narayan in Santa Clara, CA
Feedback Form Does Not Work
I got my premium oil change
done at Jeffy Lube on the 15th of April 2012 in the evening before
heading out to Los Angeles from Santa Clara CA.
Due to the negligence of not
tightening the bolts of the splash shield, it came partially off that
very night a couple of hours into my travel towards Los Angeles. The
splash shield was rubbing the highway creating a lot of noise and
hence I had to pull over. This incident occurred in the middle of the
trip on Highway 5. The Oil Change was done on : 3.09 PM, the
Splash shield problem occurred at 6:45 PM on the same day.
I had to call AAA, I was
advised that I could drive if I get rid of the splash shield, it was
there to protect the car engine from water and mud splashes. Since it
wasn't raining that night, I decided to get this removed and drove to
Los Angeles. The entire wait was around 3 hours waiting for AAA truck
and removal of the splash shield. After returning back to Jeffy
Lube, I was told that a district manager would return my call, he
never returned my call. Later, I went back this week again to
let the guy at Jeffy Lube know that no body called me. This time
another person from Jeffy Lube intervened and mentions I reached out
to them too late and they wont be able to help me. I informed him that
I was there the last week and he didn't seem to care, he just repeated
that he wouldn't be able to help me since it was two weeks since.
I tried to log my compliant
last week to let you know about the negligence on part of the service
person, and this particular web form was down (a submit resulted in an
error). I have attached the error that keeps repeating, the web site
hasnt been fixed for the last 2 weeks. Also, I am attaching the
photo of the splash shield when the incident occurred. I am now
reaching out to you so that Jeffy Lube can make good for the damage of
the Splash Shield and I hope this compliant gets its due attention.

Wes in Columbia, SC Alcohol & Marijuana
I went to Jiffy lube in
Columbia sc and it was very unprofessional. they where New faces guys
and women. The employees where not dressed proper and smelled like
alcohol and marijuana they never talked to me thet just took my money
and let me go with no proof of purchase. They cheated me and Jiffy
lube cheats lots of people with the highest oil change price in
columbia. I will never be back
[1961] Inderjit in Barrington, IL
Feedback Form Does Not Work
1) The
customer feedback form doesn’t work and it hasn’t been fixed despite
JiffyLube being aware of the problem!!! Customer Service rep told me
the same when I phoned there… Tried to send the following:
Had the oil changed in two
cars last couple of weeks. Driving the Passat down the highway and
hear a sudden noise under the car and pull over about 10 seconds later
- the engine shroud has fallen off and is stuck under the car - I
spent about an hour trying to loosen the remaining screw so that I
could get home all the while traffic zooming by. Very dangerous
situation thanks to one of your "technicians" who failed to re-attach
the shroud properly - now I have a mangled cover - damage to my car
where the some of the screws tore off...Not a happy customer - I want
this fixed immediately as the shroud protects components under the
car.
Store 1811 Barrington, IL
60010. Now, I have to go to the store and show them the part and
go through what will probably be “the runaround” in order to try to
rectify the situation.
JiffyLube???? One very
unhappy customer…
[1960] Paul in Hawthorne, CA Taking
Advantage of the Elderly
My 83 year old mother just
told me of a horrifying experience at Jiffy Lube #1418 in Hawthorne,
CA. They kept telling her that she needed all kinds of things such as
belts. She said No. They handed her a bill that was nearly $161. I
called them up and talked to the manager, but basically he said too
bad. It saddens me that Jiffy Lube takes advantage of the
elderly. In my book that's a lifetime ban. I'll tell all of my
friends. Post this on every appropriate website possible.

the car are horrible..... mainly my girlfriends prada
sunglasses GONE ... along with some pocket change i addressed
the managner however he is not aviable like most places where
manangeners need to be on weekends... the job was fast however
when i did a checkup to see if the car had fluids , there was not the
proper amount of oil in there which was a reason for car problems im
fixing myself they even charged me to change the car filter .
which was a ripoff the same one was there ... if i wanted to waste
money i would have bought lottery tickets...

in Las Vegas, NV No Oil Pressure
I went to your Jiffy Lube on
Tropicana here in Las Vegas. My experience was horrible. The attendant
spilled oil all over the engine and didn't put the oil filter on
properly. It was leaking , so much the engine would not register any
oil pressure. Pretty shoddy workmanship. I can't believe I paid for it
too. Never again,Jiffy Lube..,

Anni Broke Fuel Line
Why I will never visit a
Jiffy Lube again- they cracked my fuel line and proceeded to lie about
why my "oil change" was taking so long. After needing to result to a
temper tantrum for a two hour oil change, they finally fessed up to
what had happened. And then were refusing to let me have my vehicle
towed out of there. Honesty up front is the best policy and the
children that are working/ running these stores need more management
training in how to deal with customers.
[1956] Marion
Destroyed Transmission
Let me tell you something, I
will NEVER have my car serviced at JIFFY LUBE and I shall spread the
word about your company. I paid over $1,650.00 to have my automatic
transmission repaired after the screwed it up. After the service at
Jiffy Lube, the car never would shift properly and when I returned to
have them check it out, they had to drain out Power Steering fluid and
they said it was over serviced.
I wish you people would at
least answer the email to say something. I have copies of the email
that was answered when it first happened. I guess one unsatisfied
customer doesn't mean hell or beans to a large OIL COMPANY.
It has been 7 months and you
people have not done anything about the half ass job that was done on
my car that cost me a transmission to be repaired. The more I thing
back about that day, your manager at Jiffy Lube said that the Power
Steering was over serviced and they had to drain some out. The
reservoir for the Power Steering isn't very large and it should
haven't been OVER SERVICED. One thing for sure I shall NEVER have MY
SERVICED at JIFFY LUBE and I shall pass the work about them.

in Tucson, AZ Oil Plug Falls Out
On 3/12/2012 one of my truck's
oil was changed at Jiffy Lube location #2443, 5710 E 22nd Street.
This location is owned by Lube Pit, Inc. The next day, around
11am, the same truck was driving down Ina Road in Tucson in the far
left hand lane, when a great deal of smoke came out from the vehicle
and the check engine light came on. The driver pulled over as quickly
as he reasonably could, but with traffic it took over a minute and he
drove approximately a quarter of a mile.
Suspecting the incident was
related to the oil change the day before, the driver called the Jiffy
Lube location and spoke to the assistant manager. The assistant
manager, contacted the closest Jiffy Lube, store #1601. That location
sent over a technician who confirmed oil drain plug was missing and
surmised the drain plug was not properly tightened the day before and
eventually vibrated loose and fell out. The technician replaced the
drain plug, added 4 quarts of oil and had my driver go to location
#1601 where the oil was changed again.
Steven Smith, the manager of
location #2443, contacted me and told me he was very sorry, these
things happen sometimes and I could take the vehicle to a mechanic to
have it checked out and a car wash to be cleaned and he would
reimburse me.

Tonya in Havertown, PA Fix Destroys Engine
I
took my volkswagon gti 2006 to jiffy lube havertown, I was told by
service provider that my oil screw was broken but not to worry because
he would fix it. He used some kind of polymer to fix it. After that I
noticed my oil pressure light would come on reading low quite often.
So I would take it to havertown jiffy lube and ask, “if my oil level
was low” and I was told “no”. Well ultimately, my oil pan cracked
and affected the motor. My car will not run now and will be very
expensive to fix. I know that many of the service providers are not
mechanics and are not skilled enough to recognize serious issue. At
this point I’m at a lost.
[1952] Holly
in Norman, OK Certificate Fraud
Jiffy Lube is a rip off! They are only in business to make money and
not to help their customers. I went in there for just an oil change,
because I received a $25 gift certificate in the mail. The second I
pulled up the man said I needed a synthetic oil change because my
vehicle had high mileage (90,000). I asked him how much that would be,
he said, "$60." I then presented my coupon and asked if the coupon
would apply for that oil change and he said, "yes." After trying to
sell me random fixes to my vehicle that I didn't need and saying no,
he came back with a price of $85 minus my $25 gift certificate to
equal $60 ($63 w/ tax). Basically, he cushioned the price of the oil
change so that my gift certificate had no effect on their profit
margin. When I asked him about my gift certificate and how he quoted
me at $60 from the start, he said he misspoke and the price he quoted
the oil change at was the price after the gift certificate. Very
unprofessional and very immoral. I will NEVER go to this Jiffy Lube or
any other Jiffy Lube's ever again. Not to mention one customer before
me and another customer after me, verbally expressed that they didn't
know if the guys working at that Jiffy Lube were to be trusted while
we were sitting in the waiting area. It is a constant fear that they
are trying to rip you off every time you step foot in that place.

Kelly in Plaistow, NH Forgot to Replace Oil
I got my car serviced on March
5, 2012 at the Jiffy Lube #1491 at 75 Plaistow Rd in Plaistow NH at
6:08pm. They changed my oil and also my rear license plate lights. I
since then got gas last night at about 5:45pm and check my oil when I
finished. To my surprise my dipstick was reading almost empty. As you
can assume I was very angry. I went right down to the Jiffy Lube that
did my original service. The gentleman behind the counter was really
nice (unfortunately I did not get his name) he really wanted to help
me and understood my frustration. He went right over to Rusty (RPR1491
or MJM1491) who did the original job. Rusty came angrily through the
door stating I never let a car out until it is filled. I just replied
I just checked my oil down the street and it was empty. He refused to
check it in front of me or let anyone else near the car as well as
pulled it into a bay behind an SUV so I could not see what he was
doing. He came back and said I checked it a few times and it is half
full.
And then very rudely spoke to
me (demeaning me) and said "Do you even know how to check you oil,
sweetheart?" Of course I know how to check my oil, yes I was on a flat
surface. I said it cannot be half full, it was barely showing on the
dipstick only a mile down the street. He then went back put oil in and
said it only took a half a quart. I understand it is my word against
his, and he is the technician, but I would not be as angry as I am if
that was the truth, because you have the policy that if I need a top
off before my 4500 miles is up you do it for free. I am angry because
something bad could have happened to my car, or even worse to me or my
family in the car. I understand mistakes happen, in the business I
work in mistakes happen, and same effects bad things can happen when
these mistakes happen. I wish he would of just apologized and said it
was a busy night I must of overlooked it or something rather than just
basically call me a stupid girl, because that is how I felt when I
left, even more infuriated for this guy saying I do not know what I am
talking about. Needless to say, me, my family or friends will not be
going back to any Jiffy Lube in the future.
