New ownership has significantly raised prices. Estimate was more than double other local shop.

New ownership- this place is not what it used to be. Prices are ridiculous. Go elsewhere.

They do decent work but the prices are pretty steep. Being the only auto repair in this area, I guess they can get away with it.

Jiffy Lube - The damage to my window, after the wiper blade, installed by a  Jiffy Lube service tech, malfunctioned.

I've been a customer of Jiffy Lube off and on for years but that came to an abrupt end a few months…read moreago when they traded in their integrity and honor to keep from doing the right thing. So I stopped in for an oil change one day. While getting my oil changed this particular day, one of the service techs told me I needed a new wiper blade on the back window of my van. They asked me if I wanted a new ($15) blade and I said "Sure. Why not?" They slapped the blade on, my oil was changed and $100+ later I was on my way home. I dont know how many weeks went by, but one night it started to rain. So I flipped on the wipers. A few minutes later I heard a weird noise. I turned down the radio and tried to figure out what the noise was and then I looked up at my rearview mirror and I could see my back window. The metal arm of the wiperblade, now minus the rubber part, was swishing back and forth, etching a perfect arc into my back windshield. Of course I turned it off immediately and pulled over at the nearest station and sure enough, the rubber part was long gone. A few days later I stopped by Jiffy Lube on 141& Hawkins Road & explained everything but after looking me up in his computer the gentleman informed me it was the Ballwin location that replaced my blade but he said he could put a new one on. As he was replacing the blade, he half jokingly made a remark about how the blades, "Don't just fall off." So I then drove to Ballwin store and again explained what happened and showed them my window. They rejected all responsibility immediately and sent me on my way. After returning home I recieved a call from the Ballwin store, the same woman who had just refused any responsibility, asking me to bring my van back to the store so they could take pictures to open a claim, so I did. Weeks later I get a call from the claims department telling me they were denying the claim for 2 reasons. #1 being that the warranty is only good for 90 days or 3,000 miles and that by the time it actually rained, allowing me the chance to use the wiper for the first time, and me getting my van looked at, the 90 days was already up. So... #2- the warranty was expired. Warranty? What warranty? I was told nothing about a warranty when they replaced my wiper blade that THEY advised me to purchase. There was no mention of a warranty on the wiper when they installed the wiper, or when they gave me a copy of my itemized bill that day. AND, since THEY put the wiper on, I never saw the packaging or was given any inserts/warranties that may have been inside the package. So please explain how I am supposed to know about a warranty that I was never informed about, to know it even existed? To call me BACK to the store to take photos, only to ultimately deny my claim anyway, due to an expired warranty, that I was given no knowledge of, just proves how determined they were to use any lame a$$ excuse they could come up with, no matter how irresponsible it made them look, just to shirk their responsibility to do the right thing. It was very disappointing. Google reviews show I gave Jiffy Lube a very good review several years ago. That shows how long I've been a customer. I've never reported any other issues with them or anyone else, so clearly I'm not one of those people who leave nothing but fictional bad reviews hoping to get a freebie out of the deal. I honestly thought they'd step up & take care of the situation and I'd continue being a loyal customer but alas, "Nope, and nope." It is what it is, such is life. Shame on you Jiffy Lube in Ballwin. Side note- the second blade, that was installed to replace the first blade, has since fallen off as well, so...

Third time here since I bought my tires from them this past January…read more Nice guys and service seems fine but they are sooo slow! They seem to be very understaffed. They have a steady stream of customers coming through the doors all the time. I should know, I've sat here for hours waiting for them to complete service on my vehicle. This time I had an appt to fix a leaky tire - they found a nail- and a state inspection. They got to the nail right away but now 90 minutes waiting here, they still haven't started my inspection. If you consider trying them I'd suggest dropping your vehicle rather than waiting. If you're in a hurry it may be a frustrating experience. The last time I was here, I had an appt for wheel alignment. My spot was pushed back 90 minutes after I arrived. They said they were shot handed. They finally completed their work 3.5 hours later. I still trust them more than those weasels over at Dobbs though.... UPDATE- Ok, after almost two hours I'm done. The guys finished off great and were highly professional. I feel guilty for complaining. I don't believe the slow service is because of the employees. Management needs to review their staffing needs and adjust. The front desk guys and service techs are fantastic!

I made an appointment online to get two new tires. I tried to call the store to confirm my…read moreappointment and they work would be completed within an hour but I was routed to a call center. Why make it hard to call the store? The work was done timely. The two employees I had contact with were professional and friendly. The customer waiting area is underwhelming.

Tires identical otherwise. Both included protection packages and free rotations. Independent tried to sell alignment at time of quote. Plaza showed me the print out after installation showing alignment was perfect, and thus unneeded. Entire transaction was completed in less than an hour by a courteous staff. The independent would have had to order and installation would have been a minimum of a two-day wait.

I could write six more paragraphs in detail but trust me they will try to screw you. Went in for a free lifetime alignment and left with $1100 of overpriced tie rod ends, but they didn't mention the other $4000 in components (upper and lower front control, arms, sway bars, rear upper control arms) that also needed to be replaced a couple months later. Another occasion took a car in for oil change that was running roughly, but I was going to work on it and did not want them to do anything about it. They called to let me know it needed $1600 for three coil packs. Right before taking it there I put a scanner on the car and I knew it needed one coil pack so I picked it up because I knew they were lying and I took it to AutoZone and put it on their scanner and it only needed one coil pack. Then I took it to a real repair shop where they replaced one coil pack and it ran perfectly.
