I had an oil change here at this Jiffy Lube store number 714. On April 4. 2025. Two months later I was due for a second oil change on June 5, 2025 the state that I work in Connecticut at a Jiffy Lube there. At that point this Jiffy Lube in Connecticut informed me that they were not able to take the oil filter off the car as it was put on either incorrectly or too tight. Per her notes on my receipt. They was not able to change the filter, but did do an oil change and charge me $108.46 that I was told was with a discount for not replacing the oil filter. Because I had recalls on the car I decided to take the car to Toyota dealership and let them do the recalls and also take a look and replace my oil filter. The dealership called me and told me that they had to replace the housing on it, which cost $188, I had to done per car warranty. I did everything I could to reach out to the store #714. I called on Friday June 20 and was told that the manager would call me on Monday. On Monday, June 24 I spoke to the manager who was pleasant and easy to talk to, but not very easy and understanding my situation. His response was that because the car was repaired by the dealership and they weren't able to look at it to determine what the cause really was that there's nothing that they can do. I asked to speak to the district manager and he did not want to give me his number. I informed him that I would do everything I can to communicate this information to the higher powers to be, and if need be put it on social media, I do not intend to hurt harm or bring this to this location but to bring to the attention just the fax. The manager did ask me one very important question which I agree. It was a good question. His question was why didn't you bring it here instead of taking it to the dealership. Great question! Explain to him that I also drive a 2024 Toyota Tacoma, which he should have in his system. I asked him to look it up. I reminded him that last year when I went to get an oil change at this very same location when they were removing the brush plate off my truck, stripped out the bolts. The question that he didn't ask how do you know we strip those bolts. I'll tell you how same drove the truck to work one day Connecticut. I took it over to Jiffy Lube. I've always gone to for many years even prior to living here in New Jersey it's a trusted location. That's when they were strip and they could take my plate off my truck to do the oil change because they were stripped out in fear of stripping amount making it worse. They asked me to go to the other location where I had it done and that location as you know it was located in 491 Washington Ave. in Belleville New Jersey. Store number is 714. They did fix the truck and I was grateful and thankful but it cost to me. I had to make extra trips back-and-forth. I had to go by the bolts to have them put them in because they didn't have them and Nally that but I was rudely treated by the staff because apparently the general manager who was apparently on site that day made comments that I may have been such a rude or dishonest or disrespectful customer. My assumption only. And that's when I told the manager at this location here yesterday that I would never bring my vehicle back to your store yet if you think that I'm trying to attack you or Store, how would you felt if I reported my first situation and not have anything else to go with it? I think my complaint here is legit my concern is I don't think anybody cares other than those who absolutely accidentally stumble across this message. You know why I say this is because when I informed the store manager that I was going to call the general office or the headquarters he said well you can go right ahead. It will just get reverted back to us so why waste my time calling them I thought then, I said well would you have the general manager called me? He said yes I'll take your number and I'll have him call me. I gave him my number and 24 hours later. I haven't heard from anybody so I'm open. I'm receptive. Tell me what you would do if you or me personally and I'm out $288 plus the time that I have spent trying to figure out how to figure this out. I really don't care if I get the money back what I really care about is why customer service has gone to hell and no one seems to do anything about it one day the people of America, those who help make your companies great rise I hope that change can be come back. read more
