    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..

    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*

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    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.
