I have spoken with a representative from Jiffy Lube and was assigned case ********. My son, *****************************, went to the facility upon my recommendation, as I have been a long time customer there. This was his first time going on his own to get an oil change. He was greeted by *******. She automatically gave ***************************** the premium/most expensive service for his 2005 car that does not need the bells and whistles. She did NOT offer options; she did NOT offer price differences. **** paid the price, unknowing that there were other, less expensive options. Your facility clearly took advantage of his being naive. I am requesting a full refund or at least a difference in the cost of the most expensive with the least expensive. My daughter was there just 2 days ago, and she was given a choice and only had to pay for the least expensive. I am sad that a place that I trust with my car, as I am not a car expert at all, would take advantage of a customer. It concerns me that other customers are also being taken advantage of. He works very hard for minimum wage, and this was directly taken from his debit account. Please contact me and let me know how you can please resolve this problem. Thank you so much!

As per ****************** (Market Manager-Broward), "I reviewed the camera footage from store 804. The store didnt do anything out of the ordinary. They removed and reinstalled the new air and cabin filters and performed the oil change. The technician didnt open the fuse box or even get close to the relay, as the customer stated.
In conclusion,Im sorry the customer is going through this, but store 804 is not responsible for the air conditioning relay malfunction problem the vehicle is experiencing".

I took my car to jiffy lube for an oil change and wiper blade change. ********* w, ************** and **************** worked on my car that day he said my oil pan is damaged I need to take it to *** for a repair I said okay even though I had no idea what an oil pan is. The following morning I was about to go to work I noticed a lot of oil on my driveway, without wasting time I took my car back to jiffy lube and talk to the morning shifts guys about my car leaking, they said they are gonna fix it and after like 30 mn they say they fixed it so I headed to work. When I got off work I saw a lot of oil on my parking spot I noticed something was wrong with my car cause my car never leaked before. The next day I came back to talked to those specific guys so they tell me my car was like that when I came in. I live in a community my HOA would never let me parked my car at my house if it was leaking and I never saw my car leaking before. So I filed a complaint because I need them to fix it for me they refused to fix it and telling my car came like that please help me!!, till now my car is still leaking Im about to lose my motor and one of my wiper blade is not working, I cant see when driving in the rain they messed up my car and want me to fix it myself please I need your help I cant afford nothing of that I want them to take responsibility. No matter what I do they still dont wanna fix my car. I went to jiffy lube for a third time and ask *** to take a video of my car and show me where the problem is he took it and show me, when I filed a complaint against them when the jiffy line service center came back to me they used that specific video against me telling me they took it that first time its a scam!!! Ask them for a screenshot of the date and Ill provide my receipt with the date on it as prove. Thanks ??

I have discussed this with ************ (Market Manager Palm Beach) and the following is his store managers response..."Customer came in, I inspected the car for oil leaks and checked Drain Plug. No leaks coming from Drain Plug but the oil pan gasket is leaking where it connects to the transmission. The Service Advisor *** talked to the guest and advised him on the oil leaks. I also took video of the leak and drain plug area to show that it was leaking from another area of the oil pan and also showed video to guest. I have asked the guest to get a second opinion for the oil pan leaking. I also have video of the oil leak if needed.Please close out case. Thank you "

As per my last communication, this claim was denied. According to the comments on this invoice, it was documented that the drain plug was stripped and the oil pan was damaged PRIOR to service. The vehicle came to our location for the first time on 4/17/2024. There is no prior history on this vehicle in the Jiffy Lube system.

On Friday, June 7, I wanted to do an oil change on my car at **********, I asked for the full service and they told me it was ********************************************************************** they were going to do 540 dollars At that moment I told them that I didn't want to do anything because of the excessive price it had, The mechanics had already opened the hood of the car, taken some filters and checked the oil. I asked them to do everything in their place because I was leaving, I decided to do the oil change directly at the dealer of my car. I headed there but they left the oil cap open and the oil came out from the top and spilled all over the engine. My car overheated and they had to lower the engine to wash it. The costs were ***** dollars thanks to the negligence of these people. I need them to take responsibility for those mechanical expenses

To Whom It May ********** name is ***************************, and I recently received tire purchase and installation services from Jiffy Lube Service Center 812 (*********************************************) on 12/09/2023.During the appointment, I was not informed by the store staff that the tire being installed was not the factory-recommended size for my ****** Outback, as specified by the manufacturer. This oversight has resulted in accelerated damage to the other tire on the same axle.Given these circumstances, I am requesting a replacement for the tire that was installed in the incorrect size. Additionally, I require compensation for the purchase and installation of a new tire that meets the factory specifications.Attached to this complaint is the service history from the original appointment for your reference.Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.Sincerely,***************************

I am rejecting this response because: so far, no one has proactively contacted me. This afternoon, on July 3rd, my friend went to their store and asked the manager about this issue. The manager said they didn't know anything about it. Therefore, I don't understand who Jiffy Lube has been in contact with and how they can express the above information.

Please read email that was sent to me today by ******************, ACE Market Manager for MA.

"I am just following up from our discussion that we had last week pertaining to *************** BBB complaint. This was a claim that I denied, however, I believe we had the wrong email as the guest never received it. We received the correct email and the denial letter was sent yesterday morning.

This vehicle had service in March 2024, approximately 1200 miles later, the guest reported that the engine seized due to the oil drain plug falling out while driving. In her JLI case, the guest states that they want a settlement for the value of the vehicle, which is an odd request right out of the gate to demand.I be setup a third party inspection on the vehicle. The small amount oil blowback does not match up with a vehicle that lost its oil plug while driving.Therefore we denied claim as the video also showed a text book oil change, and proper quality inspection.

went to this jiffy lube location in ******* ** to change oil... have been going there for years with no issues. This time one of the workers ripped my front window tint while replacing the oil sticker. This has never happend in my 52 years of car oil changing. He forced it off and didnt tell me..
Business Response

After reviewing the video of this service, it is determined that when removing the old oil change reminder sticker, the sticker apparently adhered to the tint. Some stickers are vinyl and are very pliable and some are plastic. After speaking with **********************, I told her that nothing was done maliciously and that the old sticker was the issue. I have offered her a gift certificate for her next oil change or a credit on the service that she just had. I'm waiting to hear back from her with a decision.

But we will never return here for another oil change . Front window tint is expensive and staff should know better to not use force when removing old oil stickers even though nothing was maliciously done i feel its common sense .

On 2/ 24/24 I went to Jiffy lube for an oil change. I was offered new tires with no payment at that time. It would be finance through Easy pay. I said ok. When the oil change was done, I was told that they didn't have the tires. I would have to come back for the tires. When I got home, I looked at my receipt and noticed that I was charged $159.99 for coolant exchange and $149.99 for system cleaning. I didn't ask for these two things to be done. The next day I called and spoke with Symmonia. I told her that I didn't want the tires because they had charged me for things that I didn't ask for. She told me that she removed the tires from the account. Easypay finance said that she didn't. I just want the tires removed from the account because I never got them.
Business Response

My apologies for the late response but there were quite a few channels that we had to go through to make this adjustment.
I just received a follow up email from **************, Merchant Services Manager at Easypay stating that an adjustment/credit will be made to our customers account.
If ******************** has any further questions, she can reach out to me directly at ************.

09/06/23 - Came in to Jiffy Lube (********************************************************) for a routine oil change and brake fluid replacement. Once services were completed, while pulling out of the Jiffy Lube location, I immediately felt the gear to slip and shudder. I quickly returned hoping they could correct the issue, but to no avail they could not correct issue. I was left having to replace transmission without any compensation from Jiffy Lube. The diagnostics described in the invoice from ************************ infers that the Jiffy Lube location is responsible for my vehicles transmission issues, as my ****** had never had any problems in the past. Thus, Jiffy Lube is responsible for the costs of my transmission replacement.

I am rejecting this response because: Attached is a description of what the third party mechanic initially found after evaluating the vehicle. Also attached is the quote that ************************ sent along with the computer codes describing the damages to the vehicle. The "goodwill offer" made by Jiffy Lube does not cover what was spent in repairing the vehicle. However, I am willing to settle this matter with a compensation of $8,000 USD for the transmission replacement.

Sincerely,

*******************************

We are standing by our decision to make this "goodwill" gesture. You failed to allow us to inspect the vehicle at the dealership when you gave them authorization to begin a transmission replacement. Per our warranty and claim process we must be given that opportunity (see back of invoice).

went to the jiffy lube due to my car steering wheel shaking violently. i was told i needed new brake pads and rotors which i agreed to switch. when i got the car back the car steering was not fixed but i had gained another issue. my car in general was shaking violently after that. i contacted the business and they said they would check it out for me. they told me it was a alignment issue and they said they had fixed it. i had multiple car parts missing such as my wheel cap, valve caps, my wheel lock key. after confronting them about it they said they will look for it and return them to me. after 4 trips and a couple hundred dollars the problem still was not fixed. *** brought my car to the kia ********** because i was sick of spending money with no resolution, i was told my car was a mess. my whole under belly of the car was damaged with bolts missing and pieces of the car just ziptied to hold it up in place. oil everywhere in the engine bay from the oil change that the mechanic decided was not his job to clean up. *** contacted the business and informed them that i will return all the parts i have to replace in exchange for a refund. the business is refusing a refund due to a final inspection by their team not being done. i would like to have an refund issued for the parts im going to return. if a refund is not issued i have informed them i will be taking them to court for negligence and faulty repair work.
