Jiffy Lube

You drive your car there and they are pretty quick getting the oil change done. They will give you their recommendations and you decide what you want. Nothing more to say. I would go here again when I need my oil change done.

Although I’ve seen my dad do oil changes in his life time, I am by no means handy. I’m lucky to have a Jiffy Lube nearby where I can take my vehicle in to do a quick oil change in the comfort of a heated area rather than me slide under my dirty garage risking oil spill out all over my face.
The upside to Jiffy Lube is that you’re paying for the convenience and comfort. An oil filter and some jugs of oil would set you back about thirty to forty dollars if you were to go out and purchase it yourself. Then of course is draining the oil and replacing the filter. Usually it takes my dad and I about anywhere from 30 mins to 40 mins to do this since we rely on the powers of gravity to drain the oil.
Jiffy Lube charges from 59.99 to about 109.99 based on the type of oil you use. They also do the job a fraction of the time and they also check other fluids and parts of your vehicle while you wait in your car. That’s right. You pull up to the bay and never have to get out. You are literally in and out within 10 to 15 minutes.
My most recent experience was quite alarming though. Owning a car requires maintenance and you have to put the money out to ensure that it runs for a long time. The last time I was in Jiffy Lube they recommended I do a transmission fluid flush. At the time, I had a «guy» who could do these jobs for me inexpensively. So I opted to not do the flush at Jiffy and decided to book an appointment with my «guy». Around the same time, I also had a coolant leak (hence my review of buying the hose from Acura previously) so I replaced my coolant hose as well as gave it fresh coolant.
Since Jiffy Lube records all of my visits, the technician notes that I previously declined a transmission fluid flush and upon checking I should replace it. The same applied to my coolant as well. These technicians were not aware of the replacement fluids I had done in the summer and now under their «inspection» they are recommending me do these extra jobs offered by them. I believe that’s a little shady of them to try to upsell their services. I believe they are under the impression I am clueless when it comes to car maintenance and I need to take their word for these recommendations without question.
I told them I’d think about it and simply paid for my oil change and drove out.
TL;DR: Fast oil changes. Beware of service techs upselling you things you don’t need. Do research!

I go there all the time for my oil changes. I do feel a bit awkward with waiting in my car though but that’s just me. Very good staff
