Incredibly rude staff and incompetent service. AVOID this place at all costs, especially since there are two other Jiffy Lubes in Fargo.
After pulling into the center bay I was asked to pull into, they had me come back around and into another bay, so another car, that was there after me, could have its tires rotated in the center bay.
They proceeded to service this other car, completing its service and pulling it out of the bay before even beginning service under my hood (though the hood was up so I couldn't just drive away).
A female staff member (I didn't get her name) seemed upset that I wanted to stay in my car while they serviced it. The ENTIRE REASON I came to a jiffy lube instead of somewhere else was so I could just stay in the car while I waited. I was traveling with an elderly dog and didn't want to have to get her in and out of the car and find a cool place to stay with her. I've gone to quite a few Jiffy lubes and I've never once had a staff member act put out that I stayed in my car. In fact the whole Jiffy Lube process is designed so you CAN stay in your car.
One of the other staff members, William (he wears some sort of therapeutic belt around his midsection and right arm, so it is hard to see his name tag), came up to me at one point and barked "520" at me. I had no idea what he was talking about and asked a couple of times what he meant. He finally deigned to speak in full English sentences, and asked me if the car should take 520 oil, as the oil cap said it should. Um, I guess so, if that's what it says it should take! First of all it's not my car (as I'd already said before, this was my mother's car I was getting serviced for her), second not everyone is a mechanic and knows exactly what you are talking about when you bark "520!" at them. And third and most importantly, to roll your eyes and flip your arms up at the other staff while walking away is about the rudest way I can imagine to treat a customer . If you're trying to make sure you don't have any repeat customers, this is an excellent technique.
Several hours after having the service completed, the dashboard on my mom's car flashed a wrench icon and showed that the oil life was at 15% and should be serviced soon.
After consulting first my mom and then the car manual, I discovered that the Jiffy Lube people should have reset the oil indicator back to 100%. I found out how to reset it myself, and did so, however after being driven for several hours it wouldn't have been 100% anymore, but no way to set it at the right percentage.
I called the Jiffy Lube and asked to speak to the manager. Unfortunately the person put on the line was William, the same shmuck who was so rude to me before. I told him about the oil indicator not being reset and he said "what do you want me to do about it?" and then "it sounds like you figured it out". Um, yes, I spent MY time fixing YOUR mistakes, which I shouldn't have to do. At the very least you should assure me that the staff members will be properly trained in the future to reset the oil indicator on a Honda Odyssey. And preferably you should be giving me a rebate or a coupon for my trouble. read more
