*****UPDATE*******
So I went to Jiffy Lube for an oil change. They checked me in and the guy walked me through the usual stuff, telling me what services they offered, telling me what he recommended I get done. I agreed that I needed a my headlights cleaned. The quoted me a price after tax and told me it would be twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later he comes to tell me it's gonna be another twenty five minites because my headlights are not dry. 'The headlights still need to cook the paint on' he told me. WWhich sounded weird but I have no idea about how headlights are cleaned.
Twenty five minutes pass and I go to pay and the price is forty dollars higher than the original quote! I politely asked to see my itemized receipt, and asked why it was so much higher than the quote. Silence. Not even any answer at all. Just stared trying to Ender in coupon codes to bring the price down. Never did tell me where that forty dollar extra charge came from and I ended up paying twenty more than the quote .
That was not my biggest issue though. I turn on my car and the attendant tells me o check to make sure non of my check engine lights were on, which seemed weird to me. I looked and my battery light was on. I said so and the guy already was coming with the battery tester. He hooked it up and told me my alternator was shot, completely. I said i would get a second opinion (my car had no issues bbefore I pulled into their bay!)
The guy said 'be my guest. Go ahead. Just ty and start her up'
My car was entirely dead.
They kindly offered yo replace my alternator for me - but informed me that alternators were pricey. I was livid. I called my dad for a tow, and he told me that they had tried the same thing on them last time he got his oil checked. He told me to get a jump and drive to his place. The attendant kept telling me that it was pointless and I wouldn't make it 20 feet. They helped another vehicle entirely before helping me with the jump. Then it started just fine. No battery light. I stalled my car blocking the entrance to their lot just to make sure it wouldn't die. I drove no problem to my dads where he tested the batter and it was fine. Not only did they try to scam me but they were incredibly pushy and rude while doing it! They intentionally ran my battery down and I believe they used a battery tester made to read something specific. They had told me my alternator was sucking power from the battery . So far my battery and alternator is fine. I'm also going to complain to corporate, write the BBB, and spread the word as much as I can
I have since emailed the manager who responded to this review asking him to review the camera footage, because my windshield wipers were not changed and something is missing from my vehicle. I have emailed twice with no response. I'm beginning to think that even he is part of their scam operation. What a lousy business. Terrible service. Took my money for services they didn't even do. read more
