Jiffy Lube SCUMBAGS... Bagged - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Same thing happened to me at Firestone recently. I normally change my own oil, but because of health issues, I figured I'd have someone do it since I was a little overdue. I knew about Jiffy Lube's reputation and thought I might be a bit safer with Firestone or someone else. After the oil change I stopped at a convenience store and just for $hits and giggles, I pop the hood. They never changed the filter. You can't believe how pissed off I was. They offered me free oil change certificates. NO THANKS!!!!!!!

I wrote a nasty letter to Firestone letting them know I would never conduct business with them ever again.
Jerkoffs!

I would demand My money back,,,,,,and if it was on a credit card then I would dispute it if they would not credit my card....I have had to do that once and the credit card never paid them,,,,,

This goes on in every trade unless you are there to watch over them every step !!!
especially when I've need something done to my house!
It's cheaper to take a day off from work and loose a days pay than to let some construction , electrician, plumber ect... be there alone !!!
I don't trust ANYONE !!!

BigFish · 04-14-2007, 03:26 PM

I always suspected they pulled that crap!!!! Can't trust anyone! Sometimes I wonder about dentists too!!!! How would you know really???

Ever thought what a male dentist could be doing while he has a girl knocked out on the gas, and he has no assistant there watching him ???
I could tell you a few stories of this happening!

I hate seeing things like that. Most all of the major news outlets have done stories like that. I don't think it will ever end. That is exactly why I learned to do as much my own car repairs as possible. For the stuff I can't do, I do know of a great honest mechanic. Takes a week to get in there and is 1/2 hour away, but worth it. He knows I like to do things to my car and he points out to me the stuff he knows I like to do. I usually keep up on that stuff, but a reminder is always nice. Has also shown me some nice tips like the best way to reassemble drum brakes and some other helpful things to make things go smoother. Don't find too many guys like that. Other places would say you really need these like today or even worse do them without your ok.

Jiffy Lube tried to do that to me 20 years ago. Went to get an oil change on my lunch break and something inside me said to check the oil when I got back to work. Pulled the dipstick and dark brown, almost gritty oil. Cleaned it off and checked again, same thing. Climbed under the car and checked the filter and it was dirty with road tar etc. They did absolutely nothing.

I went straight back and dragged the manager outside to show him and he tries to tell me the dirty oil is normal, that's how you know it's pulling the crap out of the engine

I say "Last time I checked, I didn't have any t!ts so don't talk to me like I'm a broad. Get back under there and change the effing oil!"
When he was done I made him give me my money back as well.
Those places are nothing but a bunch of scumbags

I can tell you that I've had a lot less expensive problems since I quit going. "Gee, Doc that don't feel right" "it's ok" next thing I know My tooth is shattered and I need a crown -twice.
When you go for a check up, ever notice that they stab into a tooth like they're trying to make a hole? In 6 months you need a filling. Don't talk to me about car guys being crooks...

BigFish · 04-14-2007, 06:02 PM

Point is CAL....ya don't really know if they are doing anything at all......know what I mean? Its not like you can look in your own mouth!

I did get my money back after I watched them do the oil change properly.

About six years ago i took a brand new truck to jiffy lube, the friggin clowns took the drain screw outta the transfer case and didn't put it back. I drove it around for a week till I fried the carrier. It took me a week of leaving messages and argueing to get the issue resolved. They paid for the repairs which was over 3 grand, but I was without a vehicle for 2 weeks. Then the jackasses sent me a coupon sayin, "we would really like your business back, heres 10% off your next oil change." I was like...10%!!!!!

I can tell you that we replaced a bunch of oil pans due to cross threaded drain plugs from the quicky shop.... We had more than a couple dead motors too...

Yup, that too John. I remember replacing oil pans due to JL guys cranking the drain plug up with a 3' breaker bar.

Also had to rebuild a ton of brake systems because the mokes topped up the master cyl. with motor oil...Cust drives down the road..motor oil swells all the brake system seals and car stops..brakes lock up solid..Made some serious $$$ fixing JL F-ups/
