Jiffy Lube

This place is all smoke and mirrors. The service staff is very friendly, but they have no idea what they’re doing.
I came in expecting them to be the «experts,» which was far from the case. I had to look up the codes in my own book to tell them the services I needed. But, okay, I let that slide.
Two months later and my battery dies on me. I pop open the hood. Total corrosion. No way that kind of corrosion comes overnight. This was something that should have been noticed by the «mechanic.»
Check the oil level. It’s barely touching the end of the stick… Read: done incorrectly. Not topped off enough… I imagine this is probably how they save money on their end, but it’s terrible for the car.
Sure, the people here are nice… But don’t trust their work.

Got in and out quick and thought that was great. Until I realized they did not complete the full service. The floor was not vacuumed, the windows were cleaned with dirty water that streaked them. Plus the oil was not topped off, so I had to purchase oil to top it off because I didn’t want to go back. On top of all of that, my change was stolen from the car. I will never visit this location again.

It’s a Jiffy Lube, so I don’t know what there is to say about it. They do what you would like to do yourself (if you knew how) or have your local garage do (if you had the time to schedule an appointment and wait). Most of us aren’t mechanic-​savvy or have much time, so you end up using a Jiffy Lube to get it done and do it quick. They’re not the most cost efficient and they try and push other things on you, («You need new windshield wipers!»), but they do what you need done right on the spot.
This one isn’t much different than the rest and I’ve never had an issue with them. The staff are cordial enough and get you in and out. I guess that’s all that matters from a Jiffy Lube.

A Jiffy Lube that warrants a Unilocal 5 stars? You becha!
This is NOT the Jiffy Lube that is at the intersection of Route 1 and Greenbelt Road, this one is farther up Route 1 near USDA; it has a second back entrance off Rhode Island Avenue.
I adore this Jiffy Lube, the staff is really friendly and well-​trained. They are super speedy, but have attention to detail. The waiting area is very clean (though the selection of magazines sucks — only sports and car themes — what’s wrong with a basic Time or some news magazine?).
They will of course suggest different things to increase your price, but they are also honest. They will pull out my air filter and admit that it does not need to be replaced, that my wiper blades are in just fine condition, that with the year and model of my car I may not need X, or can wait a while longer for Y. If you decline any upsell, they don’t push, they let it go.
I have been to several Jiffy Lubes and they experience varies. Had something stolen from my car at one, another they were condescending because I was a woman and assumed I knew nothing about cars, another they were nasty after I declined every upsell. Never at this location, they are consistently pleasant, professional, and seem to really care about their job and the success of the location.

I’ve never gone anywhere but Jiffy Lube for an oil change. Though this isn’t my usual Jiffy Lube, it’s near my job, so I got my oil changed during lunch. My experience at these places is always the same, which says a lot about their national training standards. They always are fast; they always find something else that needs to be done other than just the oil change I came in for. Today it was a belt replacement. I never get out for the $ 35 oil change, today it was $ 105. I often wonder what the markup is on a belt that took you 10 minutes to change. But I figure this is all they do so hopefully they are doing it right. They are always polite, and like others have said they aren’t really pushy. It’s just part of the job. I’d go back.

I agree with the other review.
I pulled in to the parking lot and was greeted at my car by someone who worked there. He asked what I was in for, took my keys and told me a customer service rep would be right with me and to have a seat inside.
A few minutes later, the rep called my name and asked what I’d like done. I told him I just wanted an oil change and he didn’t hassle me about getting more work done. About 20 minutes later, I was paying and out the door. The same guy who greeted me told me to have a wonderful day on the way out.
Great, no-​hassle service. I like that in a lube job.

The service here is excellent. They really do change your oil in a jiffy, and are very polite. They always try to oversell products and services, but that’s what they are trained to do, and they back down when you make it clear that you’re not interested.
