lmao bet that DM is fucked. haha "the red one is mine". I used to work at Jiffy Lube and we never did anything like that, and I really dont see a reason to do it.... Jiffy Lube employees are paid hourly, so you don't get paid any extra to fuck over customers, or to do the work quickly. So might as well do what your asked to do while on the clock..

My name is Alex... I'm a customer....

that's pretty damn bad when the district manager denies his own identity. Man up you bitch.

Shit sucks... Jiffy Lube's the reason one of my cars blew.. fuckers didn't properly replace the oil plug and the thing snapped off and left oil all over the highway and my engine blew... the came out to "investigate" the car, and the dude said that it was obviously my fault. *eye roll*

damnnnnnnnn..... I would fire all those muthefuckers. You know they were more then likely taking the money or covering inventory for previous employee theft.

well, I for one...if ever took my car to a shop that's open like that, would hover over them like a hawk to make sure they are doing everything and every few mins ask what they were doing.

luckily, I do it myself or just take it to the auto skills center on base.

Holy shit.

For real.

My brother's a mechanic.

A good one.

.....a real one.

MAN...that video makes me go "....damn.....I'm never going to Jiffy Lube again...even for an oil-change. I know more than those fk's."

But that's kinda how I felt when they wanted to charge $74.99 for a "High Mileage" Oil Change..

"The oil is more expensive."

...I came there with my fkin' high mileage oil and it cost the same as any other.

$15 on oil and a filter.

....they still wanted $20 just to actually do it.

ghey!

Then why didnt you just do it yourself?



Dont take your car to anywhere like that. Most of those people don't like their job and could give a shit less if you care about your car. I take my car to reputable shops or if I have to take somewhere like that on an emergency I just stand there and watch them.

He speaks the truth lol... As a general rule, the only jiffy lube employee that knows the ANYTHING about workin' on cars, is usually the guy in the pit. Rest of them are just salesman who happen to know how to pop an air filter off.

I would never take my car to Jiffy Lube (except for when I worked there) simply because I refuse to pay $30 for an oil change.. I got nothin' against the guys I worked with, but Jiffy Lube in general sucks.. We didn't rip any one off like the guys in the video, but I consider $30 for a basic oil change a rip off in itself.

...because I don't feel like changing my own oil, that's why.

And I stood there to watch.

If there's one thing you should pay someone to do, it's change your oil. If you're paranoid about them using crappy stuff...then bring ur own oil and filter..and then watch....it's kinda hard to pull that Jiffy-Lube shit when it comes to changing oil.

"Hey..that's the same damn filter I had in there before. You guys ripped me off!"

"Hey...my oil is still black and thick...you guys never changed it! What gives!"

lol

P.S.....this was my DD Honduh we're talkin' about here...not an FD.

yo B....a local NBC (Cali) affliate went around to 9 Jiffy Lube's and 5 locations ripped them off, charging for services that were never preformed. They hid two camera's one under the hood, and under the chasis to make sure no work was preformed. When called out by the reporter, they all said it would have to be taken up with district manager. They track down district manager and when confronted says he is a customer by the name of "Alex" and owns a red Camaro....reporter walks over to group of kids and ask is the camaro theirs, they say yes, and district manger looks like an ass. They send tape to Jiffy Lube hq, and they tell reporters that was indeed the district manger.

LOL.... i used to work at jiffy lube as my first job 4 yrs ago on hwy 78 near best buy and we had the old school machines so they guys up there would sell the services and never do it. and when the customers wanted tire rotation the guys would tell me to just take the lug nuts off and put em back on without rotating them. Also they would have me clock out when there aint no customers and when we do have customer i clock back in and when we are done they have me clock out again, THATS SOME BULLSHIT. so fuck jiffy lube

You have to think though, there are millions of other shops and companies that do this same sort of thing. Want something done right? Do it yourself.

Back when i was 16 and brought my first car to jiffy lube... Guy seemed to think that my carburated engine needed a fuel injector cleaning. Needless to say i never went there again.

I used to work at Jiffy lube as well. Every one would take turns going up to the storage floor above the lobby to smoke the green. Our original boss, was relocated to another Jiffy lube, and the 21yearold assistant became manager. He was still a kid, and was not the best manager. We did not rip anyone off, but we ripped off jiffylube. Basically we would just tell the people that came up (picking mostly teenagers) 15-20 in cash now, instead of $25 through the system. So we would change the oil and pocket 15-20$. Almost everyone there was a dumbass. I got in fights with mainly two guys that worked there almost everyday. Like this one toothless mother fucker thought it would be funny to get wd40 and make a big smiley face on the hood of my black stealth, since it was a rainy day and the wd40 repels water. I went and started to talk shit to him and he spit in my face, so I punched him in the face, he comes and swings and misses bringing his head down and I punched him in the back of the head. It was infront of jiffy lube next to the street, so people were honking and starring, so the boss comes out and sends me home. Which was bullshit because that toothless redneck piece of crap started it all. Anyways the people there acted like kids 24/7. One of the main things they would do (especially the manager) is get those red shop rags that have oil on them, light them on fire and throw them at each other. They did that shit every day. It wasnt long before the boss and I got into fights. That motherfucker got mad at me and told me I had to come tomorrow at 8am. I was like WTF I cant wake up before 12pm. And that fucker told me that if I didnt show up then dont bother to come back. That shit pissed me off, so I saw his Mountain Dew on the counter not yet open. At first I was going to put some antifreeze in it, but decided to just piss in it. So I grabbed it when no one was looking, took it to the bathroom, poured about a fifth out and stuck the tip of my dick to it and filled it up rubbing it all over the rim of the bottle. I didnt stop in time so I ended up pissing on the bottle as I started pissing in the sink. Anyways I wiped down the bottle, and placed it back on the counter. The assistant manager saw me, and asked what I did to it. I told him not to worry and not to tell the manager and left. I show up the next morning and the managers bottle of mountain dew was still on the counter, as if to make a point that he did not drink it. You know he probably did take a sip, and acted as if he did not fall for it. Either way that mother fucker then changed my hours all to opening hours. So I gave Jiffy lube and the manager a big fuck you and quit. It was only about another month before the Manager got fired, and half of the employees from losing thousands, from having cigarettes in the Pit. There were a shit load of cig butts in the Pit and each one is a $1000 fine. So long story short, Fuck You Jiffy Lube!

I was pissed, so I needed to cool off abit. I was just going to add a little bit just to make him real sick, but Im glad I pissed in it since the antifreeze could have killed him or if he found out, he could have called the cops and got me for attempt murder or something.
