Jiffy Lube still scamming customers!

Three years ago I posted a video nailing Jiffy Lube for scamming customers. It now has half a million views, and is the 4th result on Google when searching for "jiffy lube". Jiffy Lube said they had cleaned up their act.. but they haven't. They, and other lube and tune chains, are still scamming their customers.

Thanks to NBC LA's Joel Grover (www.nbclosangeles.com) for uncovering these unfortunate truths.

And this is why real men fix their own cars.

Jiffy Lube scammed us in San Leandro, CA.

We got the engine cleaned and the oil changed for 130.00 on one car. On the other car, we bought our own oil and got only an oil change that was supposed to be 35.00. We paid cash, and our total for both cars was 236.00!! We were scammed out of 71.00 by an employee named Eduardo Domingo. He's very good at what he does and how he does it, so management stands behind him. He's been doing this for a long time. It seems to be an in-house conspiracy. Ple

If you watch these videos and STILL go to Jiffy Lube, you're a fucking idiot and deserve to be taken advantage of. Go to a reputable dealership to get any work done. It's terribly expensive but worth it.

Yes a engine flush can lock a engine if done incorrectly (no its not required maintance, its a repair) But the other question is how did the car's owner not notice the oil pressure jumping around for three days in a row befor his block locked up? Yes its the mechanics fault for selling a unrequired service and doing it incorrectly but its also the cars operators fault for ignoring his gauges and continuing to drive around like a moron.

People, seriously, if you are not gonna fix your own car then at the VERY LEAST buy a service manual and KNOW your vehicle.

Any mechanic will immediately stop BSing you if they detect that you are minimally knowledgeable about your vehicle.

A service manual costs $30-50 for most cars, even less if it's like Haynes or similar and will save your hundreds in BS car repairs.

Plus who knows you might try to change the oil and you might like it and if so welcome to auto DIY world. We got t-shirts!

Spiffy Quick type employees are not Mechanics, they are far from it.
