    They did a great job on my brake lines and were three times cheaper than what I was quoted at Dobbs! Highly recommend them!

I pulled off the lot and my car did a jerking motion like it was backfiring. an hour later the malfunction warning signal and all the dashboard lights came on. My car shut off while in idle three times. I called the shop and drove it back to them and it shut off three times while driving. I was told by the worker they may have knocked wires loose from the maf while taking out the air filter , which was never requested. I told the guy changing my oil I didn't want anything extra but the oil change. The man at this shop said it was nothing they can do even though nothing was going on with my car prior to me bringing it to them. Now my car will barley make it up the street, its vibrating, shaking, and won't stay running. It stops at every light and while sitting. Then they proceed to " offer" me the option to change the air filter "to see if that helps". Little did I know it was not offered to help rectify the damage they caused because o had to pay an additional $30 on top of the $90 oil change. How convenient To "offer" the one item I originally refused as the fix to the problem. This place is sketchy and damaged my car and won't take accountability. This place deserves zero stars

This location was extremely busy but somehow was willing to work me in between booked appointments as a walk-in. I encountered extremely friendly, professional, and honest staff. They repaired my tire with only a hour wait. They also recommended and printed out options for future tire options in multiple price ranges. I cannot thank them enough for squeezing me in the day before Christmas to repair my tire and for their friendly demeanor as I had guest in town to entertain and needed my vehicle. They made a customer out of me and I HIGHLY recommend this location for any tire and service needs! Oh AND they allowed you to wait in the waiting room where distancing and mask policy was enforced.

I had to replace everything just to make the vehicle safe again. I won't be returning. Chris is the manager hung on me multiple times when I was trying to ask questions. Would not write my concerns down in a ticket. He escalated the situation by losing his temper over the phone and in person. His boss Mark ended up having to take over the situation and even he was bad at handling the situation. I'm pretty sure Mark is part of the system designed to take advantage of their customers. It's sad to see this type of behavior in the auto repair business.

Recently used Claudes for some emissions work and experienced the amount of business this small shop experiences. The one thing I HAVE ALWAYS DEMANDED FROM A MECHANIC IS JUST BE HONEST...CLAUDES FULFILLS THAT REQUEST. Claudes has always honest with me and even though co workers have changed...that fundamental honesty goes on. On my recent visit...the shop was very busy...walk in business comes in daily and the staff still finds time to be courteous and friendly still getting scheduled work done as well. I worked with DAKOTA and he was awesome...performed the work requested and explained in detail what he was doing if asked. The repair was quick when the shop got around to it. Be prepared to wait. They are so busy that they may have to schedule you in a week or more for needed repairs... But still take time with customers with an emergency situation. I have had dealer shops that treat you terrible, make you wait, charge outrageous hourly ($250 hr) and problems still comeback...and it is never their fault even though they advertise best equipment, best mechanics, best parts, fastest service. ​ CLAUDES WILL DO AS GOOD WORK, CHARGE LESS, BE RESPONSIVE TO YOUR REQUESTS, AND MOST OF ALL...BE HONEST WITH YOU. THAT COMBO IS PRICELESS.

    STAY AWAY FROM THIS JIFFY LUBE -- THEY DESTROYED MY ENGINE AND TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY…read more I took my 2017 Ford Escape--my reliable, well-maintained vehicle with ZERO prior issues--to Jiffy Lube on December 19, 2024, for a simple oil change. That was the beginning of a nightmare. Three days later, on December 22, after driving only 37 miles, my car suddenly lost power on the highway and began spewing blue-gray smoke. I was forced to pull over and have it towed to Dobbs Tire and Auto Center. What Dobbs found was shocking: the engine was coated in black, dirty oil, and they drained over 6 quarts--despite my vehicle only holding 4.3 quarts total. The dipstick showed oil filled over an inch above the full line. The mechanic explained that the excessive oil fouled the spark plugs, destroyed the catalytic converters, and permanently ruined the engine. Even after replacing plugs and trying to clean it up, the car died again on a test drive. Diagnosis: engine completely destroyed. I immediately brought this to Jiffy Lube's attention. Their response? Blame everyone but themselves. They claimed they only put in the right amount of oil and pointed fingers at Dobbs--without ever speaking to the mechanic or inspecting the damage. Just outright denial, despite the clear timeline and mechanical evidence. Let's be real: my car worked perfectly before Jiffy Lube touched it. It died 37 miles later, drowned in oil. And now I'm left with a dead engine and thousands in losses. If you value your vehicle, your time, and your money--DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE. Jiffy Lube's negligence cost me a car, and their refusal to take any responsibility is shameful.
