Freakin jiffy lube, its bad enough to have teens make fast food but not change our oil. they are horrible

sport69 · 08-23-2006, 12:07 PM

nice.... fire them all.

I like the district manager lying about who he is.

rimpainter.com · 08-23-2006, 12:29 PM

Unreal. And yes, this is exactly why I do my own work as well. Plus I'm cheap.

ilikesoup · 08-23-2006, 12:36 PM

I'm cheap, and yeah, at least i know it's done right... But this thread should be moved to OT

emptypockets · 08-23-2006, 12:37 PM

How many bad reports and stories about Jippy Lube is it going to take before people realize they'll get ripped off? The local managers have to be in on the rip offs and that district manager...what a schmuck! That company needs a top down shake up!

Goes back to the old saying: if you want something done right, do it yourself!

Jiffy lube gets busted for this every five years or so. I had a friend who worked at one about 15 years ago and he told me all kinds of horror stories of rip offs and breaking things and having their managers just tell them to hide it and get the customer out of the shop. He told me one story where some newbie stripped a drain plug and was told to just glued it back in. It fell out a few days later and the truck owner fried his motor on the freeway. The guy had to sue Jiffy Lube. He did. Newbie wasn't fired.

Do your own maintaince or take the vehicle to an independent shop. All those chains are rip offs because they all have sales quotas to meet

wjwerdna · 08-23-2006, 01:25 PM

yeah how many times does this happen to jiffy lube? wow, just happened in about 6 months or so ago, oh wait, that was the last time this same clip surfaced

but yeah, they are still a rip, and the clip still demonstrates what happens...

ugadawg95 · 08-23-2006, 01:32 PM

sorry for the repost guys...and i thought I put in the OT section...it's been a long day...

86SR522REEFI · 08-23-2006, 02:15 PM

If someone did any of that stuff at my toyota. They would never work at another shop again. Wed make sure of it.

Pozi · 08-23-2006, 02:17 PM

I like the Jeep Grand Cherokee's license plate. It said C Karma!

That was hilarious.

sdstud212001 · 08-23-2006, 05:47 PM

thats why i like oil can henreys for the tranny flush, they explain it to you then do it right in front of you while youre in the car; I get out and watch 'cause I think it's neat

MTL_4runner · 08-23-2006, 08:17 PM

Even though it's a repost I can't tolerate even watching crap like that cause it makes my blood boil to watch people get ripped off like that, but on the other side how can people actually think you are going to get good service by taking it to a place like that? There are no free lunches here people! Even the Jiffy Spooge business model itself has slim profits (mostly based on volume) unless you start ripping people off......no surprise there what happens next. I hope to see a class action lawsuit against them some day to really rattle their cage, shake up management and scale back the theivery a bit.

boogyman · 08-23-2006, 11:54 PM

that's crazy. too bad they didn't say which ones were bad and which were good.

**Tofer** · 08-24-2006, 12:29 AM

i usually try to do my own work but when i do goto jiffy lube i stand over them watching everyhting they do. double checking their work. when they tell me that i can wait inside, inside i tell them no, i'd rather watch...
