Stopped by here for an emergency oil change about 3/4 into my road trip. Employees are nice and very quick with service. You don't even need to get out of your car really as these essential car specialists will just have you drive up the ramp and service everything outside the vehicle. But you'll miss out on the complimentary vacuum etc. Oil change they will still change oil, filter, and top off all fluids. Expect to pay around 70 with the $10 coupon for synthetic blend (I can get full synthetic for about $50 where I live). Also the person calculating the odometer messed up by 1000 miles, so I had to make an adjustment to the sticker. Besides this, an ok place for an oil change if you're in a hurry. read more

Good service! Friendly and professional.... I will bring my other vehicles to service here. I received a 15% discount. read more

I just left this Jiffy Lube today. I went in for a standard oil change. And of course they said you're gonna need this that the other and of course I declined. I opted for a filter and an oil change. And John W. Said that he would take the fee off of the invoice for the oil filter. However, that was never the case. He didn't want to give me a printout of my receipt. He wanted to give it to me via email. In hopes that I wouldn't see it. When I requested a paper receipt, he said oh well normally people don't ask for that and we customers OK and proceeded to print out the receipt. So I called them requested to speak to him, called him out on his BS and his lie and he proceeded to say well maybe it's the taxes is this guy certifiably retarded. possibly. read more

Well it was time for an oil change and since I was in Salinas, I found this Jiffy Lube. All 3 bays were occupied so I pulled into one in which David welcomed me and was so polite and truly made me feel welcomed. He did set the expectation there would be a wait in which I appreciate he was consider of my time. Waited for about 20 minutes when Chico came and was just as friendly as David. He thanked me for my patience and apologized for the wait. Once again truly appreciate this. He directed me inside and told me he would check my lights. Jonathan came and asked if her could clean my windows. Truly excellent customer service and highly recommend. Too bad they aren't in my neck of the woods. read more

Jiffy Lube - Waiting - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Salinas, California

Looking to get your oil changed, don't ever come here. By far the last place you should even consider. Went in there to do a routine oil change on my vehicle and after about 5-10 mins of waiting, the technician along with the manager, came in and told me they couldn't perform the service because the oil drain valve was stripped and if they removed it, it would create a bigger problem that would take about a week to fix. Today I went in to Valvoline and they performed the service without telling anything about the drain valve and was out of there in 15 mins. My suggestion would be to never come here and go to Valvoline. read more

The full synthetic oil change was done in a jiffy. The valve of the $20.00 coupon is another bonus. read more

I landed here on a road trip roughly 800 miles from "home." Most reasonably priced in the area by over 300 dollars! I called several shops asking if they would be able to change a part for us, that we pre purchased, hoping to fix ourselves. We called Jiffy Lube, and the guy was upbeat and ready to help us out. It was quick and efficient, oil change included that we asked for as well. It was roughly an hr. Professional and kind, I really appreciate and thank the team that day. Grateful for you!

I accidentally had them install the wrong oil filter on my car. When it came loose my car lost most of its oil and wasn't safe to drive. The manager Jose came to my home to service the vehicle himself for no charge. They also even offered to clean the oil off underneath my car. Great people, they are quick, knowledgeable and efficient. read more

Can't thank these guys enough! Pulled in Easter morning, oil level in my Sprinter was overfull. They knew exactly what to do, and how to do it. Saved our road trip! Thank you so much. read more

Very friendly and welcoming environment and my car was quick in and out, even though it was busy. The quality of service they said was given is what gives this the two stars. In the photo it shows the "service checklist" however some items were very clearly not completed. They say they "vacuumed floors" and it was very clear they didn't. It says the tire pressure was checked and that the front and back were 35psi. It's not because I have low air in my back right tire and my tires are at 32psi. It says that the wind washer fluid was added when I ran out of fluid 3 days later. It's convenient to go to Jiffy Lube cause its quick and convenient, but it's unfortunate that the quilt of work seems to be diminished by laziness. read more

I went in for an oil change and they checked my air filter. This is how my intake tube was left and I have a roadtrip I have to take. This could've caused damage to my engine internally or even be hazardous. Work was done by Matthew V. read more

This place is actually disgusting... One of the workers Jose (short man with beard) gave me the creeps. Major creep. I felt incredibly uncomfortable around JUST him and was even offered a discount on my oil change but others were getting charged regularly???????? I kept hearing him repeat "Bae 6" and looking at me with a smile?? I have no idea what the F that means...if I were you ladies I would not go here alone or at all. AVOID AT ALL CAUSE! Besides this whole ordeal service was HORRIBLE. Took hours for a simple oil change that I ended up having my uncle take a look when I left the shop because I had no peace of mind. *****Interaction was thursday the 18th .***** read more

Single handedly the worst experience getting an oil change. I brought my own oil from autozone and pretty much after the oil change they DID NOT hand my keys. They left my keys ON TOP of my car. I did not notice because it was a push to start. They then proceeded to tell me it's my fault, they can't do anything about it, so I had to pay for a new set of keys out of my own pocket. This place is the absolute worst they are they worst type of people they ruined my whole month over an oil change. read more

I had this Jiffy lube change my oil. The service was great and the techs very polite. Here is my issue, on my vacation the plug developed a severe leak 1 week after service. I could not continue my trip without getting a repair. Once returning home, I contacted jiffy lube customer service who forwarded my issue to the owner for resolution. The owner has ignored me me. Do not go to this North Main location. The owner does not care about the customers. There are a lot of other places to go. Avoid Salinas jiffy lube It is below 1 star Owner ignores Customers read more

Bryan and Chico provided the best and efficient service! They made sure I was consulted for any services and the team was very friendly too! Major kudos to them! read more

The cabin filter was removed and not put back properly. I had to get someone to fix it so that the glove compartment could close.

I've been going here for about 7 years and the service is always amazing. I want to give a shout-out to Jose for going above and beyond on my services today! Best spot to get maintenance on your vehicles. read more

I came for a oil change and tire rotation about 3 weeks ago. And I just noticed I'm missing a tire bolt in one of my tires. I don't think I'm ever coming back to get my car fixed. 11/16/20 read more

While I did have to wait it didn't take long for the service workers to do a complete service. They were efficient and courteous.

A little pricey from what I normally pay in the bay area.. but I needed the oil change while on my way to LA.. they were opened on a friday after 6 pm which was very important.. I was in and out within 15 mins. The guy at the cash register was cool.. And the lady in the garage was very helpful. after the oil change, the car ran 100 percent more smoother then before.. Thanks! read more

Jiffy Lube - Lobby area. - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Salinas, California

AVOID IF YOU CAN!!! The BAR (Bureau of automotive repair) would have a field day at this location. If I could 0 stars I would. Technicians acted like they didn't know what they were supposed to be doing. One of the technicians Erik was on his phone literally the entire time they worked on the car. Two technicians removed my engine cover (Why?) and stared into my engine bay for 20-30 minutes calling over other technicians looking for something. Made me think they dropped something, 0 piece of mind. Waited well over an hour for the oil change, was charged for a "Vacuum service" that wasn't even done yet said completed on the work order. They put on my notes "May have oil leak due to filter placement" Uhm, are you trying to cover your ass? I have a 3 year old car that's gotten numerous oil changes and 0 leaks. They tried charging me $60 for a cabin filter. Terrible customer service technicians all act as if they just rolled out of bed or are high. I would recommend Valvoline before this Jiffy Lube any day. read more

Exceptional service. I used to go to Monterey for oil changes and services but Salinas is the spot. They've got the best team in Noe, Chris, and Santos. I had a couple questions and they cleared everything up for me with some humor. This place is filled with great vibes with a well built team. Highly recommend this place! I'll be back soon. read more

Excellent customer service. The techs were detailed, informative, fast and courteous. I had an oil change and brake inspection. They were honest, told me air filter and brakes were good. They could have easily tried to ring me up, and they didn't. Thank you Jose and Angel! read more

Came in because my car was overheating and was told I needed to replace the thermostat to fix it and that was untrue--the coolant reservoir and hose were leaking too so until I took care of that it kept overheating. They wasted an hour of my time saying they couldn't get the part and in the end they did. Update: I've had two different mechanics tell me the thermostat is still leaking and the owner and managers will not do a pressure test or take a complete look into the issue. They glanced at it and said there's no refund because it was not leaking heavily. read more

Had an oil change done on my car on a Thursday because I was heading out to LA. That same night my car died on me. 2 hours away from my destination. I thought maybe my battery died. I had it jumó start then in the middle of the highway it almost died on me again so I decided to pull over and had it towed. Luckily I had AAA membership. I had a mechanic take a look and said something was loose. Drove my car back like nothing. I recently learned from a few other people that they had the same issue after taking their cars in for an oil change at this location. read more

Took for ever. They were bringing in new customers while I was half ways done. Had to ask dude what was going on It had already been 40 min since the service started . Lazy people . read more

Great service and friendly customer support , my only request would be for them to add a military or veteran discount.

Went in for a routine oil change and they talked me into replacing my old battery for $149. So I did. The very next day my car died in a very dangerous location because they put into a crappy battery that was way worse than my old one! What kind of a place does that?! read more

2:30 p.m. July 15. Came in with what sounded like a very scary undercarriage noise, asked for help to see if Car was safe to operate, I was on long journey from southern California going to Washington state. Nice Manager and mechanic took me seriously, examined the car quickly, and reassured me with their findings. Thanks guys! read more

Went here for a quick oil change Around 130 in the afternoon on Monday and they had me in and out in 30 minutes they were very honest people they showed me my air filter and said while it was a little dirty I didn't need to replace it this time probably next oil change. this was reassuring because the last oil change I had at a different quick oil change place they told me I needed to replace my air filter and I had just replaced it so I knew they were just trying to sell me something. I don't live near here I was only in town for business but I would totally recommend this place. They were very thorough even reminded me about my chip on my windshield. They told me that my front brakes were fine but my rear brakes were in the yellow zone. I knew that I was needing my brakes done soon as i've never had them done on this car and it has 50,000 miles on it. If you're wondering what kind of car it's a Hyundai Sonata this is my third one. I also had them rotate my tires because that did not come with the oil change. It was an extra $25 but totally worth it. On their website they have a $10 off coupon for oil change. So out the door I ended up spending a little over $300 for rear brakes and rotors, oil change and rotating tires. read more

Jiffy Lube - These guys were quick and honest!! So hard to find!! - Oil Change Stations Near Me - Salinas, California

I took my pickup in for an oil change on 11/2/2020. About a week later I noticed a small puddle of oil under my pickup. I had a suspicion what the cause was, but wasn't sure. I took it to the dealership and they found that the drain plug had not been tightened. Had the drain plug vibrated off, the engine would have been destroyed. I went back to Jiffy Lube to have them pay what the dealer charged me. They refused. How do you forget to tighten the drain plug when all you do are oil changes? read more

I took my car to Jiffy Lube in monterey initially. Immediately after servicing my check engine light came on. I called them and they said I should take it to the nearest jiffy lube ASAP. Well I was in Salinas and this place was the closest Jiffy Lube to me. I explained the issue, and what the error codes were related to. They seemed rather perturbed that I was bringing the car to them. But anyway they looked it over and said there was nothing wrong with it. Well this morning I took it to a REAL mechanic and he found that the issue was the vacuum hose had been disconnected when they checked the air filter. Come on! you would think if all you do all day is change air filters and oil you would be a little more careful about what you disconnect. let me be clear. I will ABSOLUTELY never bring my vehicle to another jiffy lube again. read more

I came to the service with 3 problems 1. Oil change, 2. My tire pressure indicator was low, 3. I had problem with my battery, and I wanted to be checked. I asked employee who greeted me if this all can be done and he said yes, he also suggested for me to rotate my tires which I agreed to. During the checkout I asked about my battery and tires. I was told it cannot be done. Because I have green caps on my tires which indicates I have nitrogen. He said they don't have nitrogen in their location. Also because I drive Toyota Prius they can't access my battery (I'm talking about regular battery not the hybrid one). I'm upset, 2 out of 3 things I needed weren't done. No one told me it cannot be done before my checkout. They should have told me earlier so I could go to other place who can take care of all my problems. No one offered me discount or anything. Now I need to go to another place pay for battery check, and to put air in my tires. I complained to Jiffy Lube and a guy called me saying the service I paid was performed correctly. I disagree. With the oil change there is checklist of things it supposed to be performed. You can call it complimentary but in fact they charge me $75 for labor out of my $156 bill I paid them. So those things are included in labor fee. I feel I was deceived. If I was told at the beginning all my problems can't be fixed at your location, I would not proceed with oil change and tire rotation. I will never come back to Jiffy Lube. read more

If it was possible to leave a half a star review, I would. I went to Jiffy Lube this morning to have them perform an oil change, but no one came up to talk to me about what I needed done, and no one was in their office. I waited five minutes in my car for someone to come and talk to me, but no one did. Finally, I decided to leave. Jiffy Lube truly needs to work on their customer service. read more

As a teen girl who doesn't know how to properly take care of her car just yet, these guys Martin and I forgot the other guys name he has the brown Honda. They are so helpful and took time to explain how I could change my air filters which were so gross and change my oil. They're so nice these guys are why I would keep coming back and recommend people to come here. read more

Fast, Friendly service. The men and women at Jiffy Lube are polite, professional and very helpful. I came in for an oil change. Once you pull up to the service station, there is a young man/woman to greet you and help you out of your car. Then they escort you to the waiting room where they have coffee/water, television usually set on a sports channel. They have a bathroom that's kept clean. Once they are done they inform you that they also checked if everything else was in good condition. (windshield wipers, brakes etc.) And ask when you would like to come back. I chose every 5,000 miles. read more
