Oil on road in front of house because of Jiffy Lube negligence.  Oil cap left off.

I have a 2024 Honda Civic Sedan, less that two months old and approximately 1200 miles on it. I only went to Jiffy Lube in Lafayette, CA because they were listed as one of the Lyft Car Inspection stations. The cost was $50.00 and my car passed with no problems. The problem is, that they raised the hood (which they did not need to for a Lyft Inspection), removed the oil cap and laid it on top of the engine. I heard someone say "why do you have the hood up?" This is only a Lyft Inspection. So the guy put the hood down and I drove away not knowing my car was leaking oil everywhere. II drove the car approximately 60 miles at 70 miles per hour to Oakley, CA. A client is the one that noticed the leak and mentioned it. I opened the hood and it was obvious what had happened. There was oil all over the engine, the undercarriage, dripping down the inside of engine and all over hood, side of car, the glove box had oil in it and on papers. Oh, NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK. had oil delivered to me and it took 2 quarts costing me $35.00, plus numerous hours cleaning the oil using the car wash, hand wash, $15.00 at the car wash (no receipt) and taking it too Honda where is has cost me out of pocket so far over $700.00, luckily it didn't blow the brand new engine. Jiffy lube attempted to clean it up in house but they just don't have the time or expertise to detail my car and replace the damaged parts known so far. It has cost me waiting for Jiffy Lube to clean up their mess, approximately 4 hours. So far, I have done no Lyft rides because i have been cleaning this oil mess up since August 23, 2024. There is still a smell of oil even after Honda replaced the air filters, and the padding under the hood for heat. They provided a loaner since my car was in their shop for 5 days. I paid $38k for my new car two months ago and now it is destroyed from oil cap left off. THIS IS NEGLIGENCE. SAVE YOUR MONEY, STAY AWAY FROM JIFFY LUBE LAFAYETTE, CA. MY BRAND NEW CAR SMELLS LIKE OIL, HAS OIL RESIDUE ALL OVER EVERYTHING UNDER THE CAR, ON THE ENGINE, AND INSIDE THE CAR. AND I AM PISSED. I'M CALLING LEGAL AID. MY NIGHTMARE CONTINUES, JIFFY LUBE OFFERED ME A FREE OIL CHANGE. (WTH) LOL... I WILL NEVER GO TO ANOTHER JIFFY LUBE AGAIN. TWO LOCATIONS SECREWED ME OVER BY NEGLIGENCE COSTING ME TIME, MONEY, AND THE VALUE OF MY CAR. LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF OIL CAP ISSUES.

Here is where they left the oil cap. It also dented the hood when they closed it.

These clowns somehow forgot to replace the oil cap, which lead to burning oil and oil spraying EVERYWHERE under the hood of my car. I also see another review with this EXACT SAME incident occurring to them! These people are SHADY!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE SLIMEBALLS!!! I also heard the coworkers talking trash about my car as they were working on it. Was this done maliciously or out of stupidity? You decide.

Do not go here!!! I rarely write negative reviews because i don't like hurting peoples employment. Despite several bad experiences at the jiffy lube in lafayette, i was desperate and brought my car in for an oil change. We were leaving to go to Southern California and car tech (who is great!) could not take me. First they left the keys in my car and the battery died. They got the battery recharged and I had to drive the car around for 30 minutes to charge on a very busy work day. Then on July 3rd, we left for Southern California. As soon as we got off the 680, we felt and heard a dragging like something was stuck under my car. It was the skid plate, which jiffy lube did not secure properly . We took the car back to jiffy lube and 45 minutes later we attempted to leave again. Then it happened again on the freeway, dragging skid plate. We drove all the way back to jiffy lube again. This time they secured and put on zip ties. We were concerned about relying on the zip ties but has already lost almost 2 hours. We are now heading home back to Northern California. We were on the i-5 past the grapevine and the dragging Happened almost creating us to swerve into another car. There were no services and my boyfriend had to get under my car in 113 degree heat and remove the plate with a pair of scissors creating another hour delay . The plate is damaged so will need a new one as i return to work after vacation and now have to incur the expense and inconvenience of getting this fixed. I'm also driving on the i-5 with no plate so hopefully nothing will happen as we return . Jiffy lube will not let you comment on their Facebook page. I posted on my own Facebook and people are commenting that this also happened to them . I'm going to try to get a refund and have them pay to get a new skid plate. Go to car tech or one of the other many options. This place should be closed for good or get new ownership. I posted photos of the comments from my Facebook post all from people in the lafayette community.

Matthew Andrew Alex and Tajzhane did a wonderful job on my  truck oil change coolant wipers they are courteous and knowledgeable.

See all

I had a really great experience at Ace Auto Care in Lafayette. From the start, Safi was incredibly…read moreresponsive over text, which made scheduling and communication super easy. I brought my car in for new tires and an alignment, and everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. The family running the shop is genuinely kind and welcoming--they made the whole experience feel comfortable rather than transactional. They also offered a shuttle service fad I am nearby, which was a huge plus and made things much more convenient while my car was being worked on. Pricing was fair and transparent, with no surprises. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Ace Auto Care if you're looking for honest service, good communication, and a friendly team.

In this instance I am compelled to write a scathing review…read more  My wife brought our Mitsubishi in to get the AC fixed and window motors replaced. She explained the issues, and told the technician (Sahil) that we have tried two times to recharge the AC and it has failed (leaked). The windows motors are loosing power. A day later Sahil calls me on the phone to give me a quote. He says the car needs engine oil change, brakes pads and rotors are worn out, head gasket is leaking. Absolutely , no mention of our requests.  The engine oil had been changed 3 weeks ago by me. When I told him this he was surprised. Yes, the brake pads are worn out but I usually replace these. Head gasket has no leaks, another surprise. I mentioned changing spark plugs would be good but he could not source the premium NGK spark plugs. At that time one could review the head gasket too.  Absolutley no mention of our two requests: AC not working and car windows. I reminded him, and he said he could recharge the AC. I reminded him that is exactly what had been done at 2 shops. He said he could put in a dye. I said that had been done too but will let you diagnose.  Well, no worries, I said I would source the premium parts and bring the car back. I did not even broach the issue about the windows. My wife brings the car back home. I noticed they had removed the engine air filter and not put it back! They had also done the same for the cabin filter! I now have to buy these parts with grommets. Changing filters in a car is like changing a light bulb. Shops charge you a 2x-3x markup to do this quick job (2 min), and it is an easy way to get money from you.  The only conclusion I could draw from this experience is that a woman took a car in. They thought she had no clue. And they picked on every common issue: oil change, filter change, head gasket, brakes to get money out of her. Gave absolutely no attention to the reason the card was brought in.  I am so sad to see this type of service, when I have had a good experience with Safi in the past.  Never coming back.

I ended up going back to the exact same guy I used 11 years ago , Carlos at 15 Minutes Smog Test & Repair. Same guy, same professionalism, same incredible service. I was literally in and out in 15 minutes and paid only $40. Eleven years ago, I paid $35. In California, where prices have doubled and tripled on everything, this is honestly unbelievable. I called around before going, and everywhere else was quoting me anywhere from $60 to $80+. Carlos knows exactly what he's doing, which is why this place constantly has 5-star reviews. Super proactive, super professional, and they even cleaned my windshield while I was there. Seriously, don't waste your time chasing coupons or dealing with nonsense shops. If you need a smog check, go here. Carlos was phenomenal. A++ service. I honestly don't even understand how anyone else is still in business at this point.

I've been there before without an appointment and other cars with appointments are worked on before mine. No big deal, since they're fine with walk ins. But if I can save 15 minutes, I'll save 15 minutes! Jose is efficient and quick! He's also friendly and appears to remember me - maybe because I've been going there for awhile! $40 for our cars, cash or credit. There's a cafe a block away but I check my email onsite and my car is ready! I should time him next time. I think it's been as fast as 12 minutes.

I have a 2019 Lexus ES300, and when I took it to the dealership, they gave me a huge list of…read morerecommended services with a very expensive estimate. I was honestly stressed out and wasn't sure what to do. A friend told me about this shop, so I decided to get a second opinion. That was the best decision I could have made. The staff took their time to go through everything with me and explained each service in a way that actually made sense. They were honest, professional, and never tried to sell me anything I didn't need. They completed the repairs using OEM-quality parts and charged much less than the dealership. The difference in price was unbelievable, and the quality of work was excellent. My Lexus is running great, and I feel much more confident knowing the work was done right. It's rare to find a shop that is both knowledgeable and trustworthy. If you're looking for honest service, fair pricing, and people who genuinely care about their customers, I highly recommend this place.

I brought in a car for a pre-purchase inspection, and the whole team treated me like I was their only customer and I've noticed they treat all their customers the same. They walked me through everything they found in plain English, no scare tactics, no mystery charges, no "well, while we're in there..." upsells. Just honest answers and straight talk. I've met everyone that works there and they're all wonderful. Here's the part that says it all: this shop is a good drive from me, and I've already gone back there for a manufacturer recommended service. Voluntarily and with a smile. I passed probably a dozen other shops on the way, and I didn't even glance at them, not even the one that's literally 3 minutes from my home. To be honest, if I were to move, I would drive up to 2 hours away to see them. When you find people you trust with your car, you don't let a little geography get in the way. I've had many scum bag mechanics try to take me for a fool in the past, NOT this garage though. Love them. Definitely value for money. I wish I could give them 100 stars. Can I leave a tip in the form of a review? Because here it is.
