In fact the dirt on the car looked like they'd been there but didn't replace them. Today I needed an oil change. Told them what happened and gave them the benefit of the doubt-- maybe they either got sidetracked. I said make us some allowance and we'd be good. Kid was good about it. Then the "manager" or whatever he is came out and said we'd have to go online and fill out a whole thing about an incident. We got to them just before they'd started. So we left. Went down the street to jiffy lube. Went well. All they had to do is give us a discount. Throw us a bone. Certainly he has THAT little bit of authority. Everyone fouls up. It's how you react that matters. I will NEVER go back. I almost never write yelps. Run away from this place! And, I'd wager, from ANY Valvoline.

I brought my car into Valvoline at 3930 W State St Boise, Idaho for an oil change. On my last…read morevisit, it was suggested that I get a manual transmission service performed, so at this visit, I paid for the transmission service along with the oil change. 35 miles later as I was pulling into my parking spot at work the transmission completely seized up due to the lack of oil.  It was later found by a local mechanic, that the drain plug was not properly tightened as well as the crush washer not having been replaced on the transmission. While Valvoline did take responsibility for the transmission and cover the labor, they left me to pay for the clutch and flywheel. They told me the mechanic said it was normal wear and tear. When I talked to the mechanic later, he said that was never said and that it was damaged from the transmission seizing. Valvoline lied to me to get me to agree to their terms so they wouldn't have to pay for the parts. When I confronted them with this information they still refused to pay for the parts even though they knew they had gotten me to agree under false pretenses as well as only verbally, they still refused to pay. In short a $99.99 service is now costing me $700 and I was without a car for just under 2 weeks. Don't go here unless it's an emergency, last and only resort. You might only make it 35 miles before you're car is toast. Thank goodness the oil change was fine otherwise they probably would've gave me a bare block and said the rest was normal wear and tear nevermind the absence of oil.

I try to go first thing in the morning so there is never a wait for my car to get worked on.

I appreciate that they let me know if my car needs other services such as new wind shield wipers, fluids, filters, etc. But I never feel pressured to purchase these items from them (though I usually end up doing that so it gets done). And the cherry on top of my service visit is that they vacuum out my car which always makes it feel 10x cleaner when I get back in.

I was the last customer, stopped in at 5:40-checked out at 6:04 PM (per my receipt.) Closing was 6 PM. The pit guy confronted me in the waiting room asking if I was getting a "last minute oil change." After yelling about being at work since 7:30 that morning. I could hear all the yelling from the customer waiting area. Never would I have thought that someone's hurry to get off work would equate to destroying my engine. Followed up next morning when they opened. Didn't have the bay doors open at 8:10. Was told my check engine code and severe knocking was a bad camshaft sensor by Mike the manager. Knocking continued, so I followed up the next day. Offered a free oil change, talked down to, Mike the manager avoided me completely. 3 Jiffy Lube visits (within 3 days) 9.9 miles later my car was inspected by a certified MB mechanic, stating I had minimal oil, and oil all over the engine, with clear photos that the oil plug was leaking brand new oil. They destroyed my engine by not tightening the oil plug. Denied all responsibility, refused to provide insurance information. Requested a call from regional manager, told I would get a call from Steve. Later, Mike the manager LVM for me, saying he wanted to inspect my car (forth time.) I don't know how many screw ups someone can have. I don't feel safe nor do I feel that Mike, the manager, has the authority to check my car after numerous failed attempts. Oil pressure controls the camshaft, having the wrong pressure is what caused the malfunction/sensor error. * I am filing this complaint regarding serious negligence and unprofessional conduct at Jiffy Lube #2540. After an oil change was performed at this location, my engine was damaged due to the oil plug not being tightened. Corporate regional needs to get in touch with me ASAP.

I came by for just a simple oil change and told the manager (I hope), Mike, what a near by shop quoted me for some work that had to get done to my car. It was over 3k worth of stuff. Mike looked shocked, and then quickly wrote up some numbers and quoted me just under $1k to complete the same work. Talk about top notch customer service. I was SHOCKED! At jiffy lube?? I never would have thought. He was so intentional with his pricing ensuring he could get me any discount he could and took great care of me and my car. Mike was amazing. Another worker there, Nick, spoke so highly of him as well which spoke volumes. I don't think I will ever take my car anywhere else from now on as long as he is there!
