    Oil leaking
    Jessica L.

    If I could give negative stars, I would. I took my car in, for a standard oil change. My car had no issues prior. Waited for the service, paid, went straight home. The next day, I noticed an oil stain on my driveway. Not old oil, shiny new oil. I took my car back, asked the attendant to make sure everything was ok. They pulled my car into the bay, and I assume looked at the oil pan. Came back and said there was a little oil around the plug, but didn't observe a leak. Took my car home. Put a new piece of cardboard down, just to make sure. Guess what?! Still leaking. Took the car back again (3rd time), asked them to shut the car off before checking. The "manager" checked this time and actually pulled off the oil pan plug. Lo and behold, the gasket had a crack in it. They replaced it. But my car was still leaking. I went back again....this time the manager ordered the gasket from the dealership, so it supposed to match my car completely. Took about another week for the part to arrive. Finally installed the new gasket. The manager says, well if this doesn't work, I have no idea what to do! Great! So, the gasket did not stop the leak. I took my car to another mechanic, and asked them to take a look. They told me the oil pan plug/pan were stripped and I would need a new oil pan. About $600 with installation. I called Jiffy Lube to talk to the regional manager and try to resolve the issue. He asked that I take my car back one more time to his "master mechanic" and that he would issue me a full refund for the original oil change (why was this not done immediately?) The master mechanic took a look, says the leak isn't from the oil pan/plug, but is from the transmission - never leaked before! But he replaces my oil pan plug with a after-market magnetic plug. I need a special tool to get oil changes in the future. AND my car still leaks oil, not transmission fluid, but oil. And I NEVER received my refund. I will have to go spend $600 to fix their mistake. NEVER GO TO JIFFY LUBE!!!! Beyond disappointed and frustrated.

    Huge labor charge not even to fully do the job correctly

    Have gone to Bowman's for years for regular maintenance as well as to address various issues with…read moremy Audi over the years. I chose them because I lived across the street, so obviously this was especially convenient given it would involve leaving my car there. Now, I drive 5 miles across town to them--hassle and expensive Uber ride!!--because they are worth it. I wanted to highlight their HONESTY: The time finally came this summer for me to decide whether I wanted to keep putting money into my 10-year old Audi or buy a new car. After he diagnosed *several* issues with my car that would have ultimately cost me near $3k, Steve recommended I just get a new car--and not only that, but to get a Japanese car rather than another German one so that I could save on future repairs. Obviously none of that would have been in an auto-repair shop's best interest, so I just really appreciated the honesty (and consistency...Steve had actually given me the same advice before, I just didn't listen back then!). Also, Steve didn't charge me for any of the above diagnostics. Anyway, I did a total 180 on my car search thanks to Steve's advice and brought home my new Lexus today. Thank you Bowman's! and thank you also to Gunner the dog--I love you sweet boy!

    Great experience with my Mini Cooper, knowledgable mechanics. They found the source and fixed it…read more Brady and Jesus listen to you and will do it right. Highly recommend this business.
