My mom swears by this place, and I've been here on a handful of occasions. Stopped in today because…read moreI NEED an oil change crazy-style and, well, I don't trust the chains. It's small (2 lifts) and I presume they're family owned/operated. There are glass shelves of car/oil memorabilia (many old/antiquey). Rustic charm, I say. Dig it. My ONLY complaint is that there is no door between the garage and waiting area, so you get a healthy dose of garage fumes while you wait. Still, quick service and $23 (dealer is $40) makes up for the temporary contact high.

Disappointing and Incompetent Service - Go to Strickland Brothers Instead!…read more Jiffy Lube - McHenry, IL This is a review contrasting two visits to this specific Jiffy Lube location. First Visit (A few months ago): (4/5 Stars) I came in to get one of my headlights replaced. They had the part in stock, charged a fair price of around $40, and the service was quick and hassle-free. Based on this experience, I returned when my other headlight went out. Second Visit (Recent - 12/09/2025): (1/5 Stars) Today's experience was unacceptable and a total waste of my time. 1. Inconsistent Part Availability & Customer Runaround: I arrived at 5:15 PM and was told they didn't have the headlight in stock. The employee instructed me to go buy the part and bring it back, which I did. 2. Refusal to Work and False Claims: I returned with the part around 5:40 PM. After guiding me into the bay, they immediately backed out of the job, claiming a nut was "too rusted" to remove. This was clearly an excuse to avoid the work, especially since I knew the procedure for my make/model (accessing via the wheel well, not the hood). 3. Ignoring Customer Knowledge: I explicitly told them the correct procedure for my specific vehicle required turning the wheel and accessing the light through the wheel well. They completely brushed off my advice, acting as if they knew better, and didn't even attempt to try the correct method. It was obvious they simply didn't want the business. 4. Absurd Pricing/Up-selling: The final straw was one of the three employees, whose name I recall as TJ, who tried to scare me into an expensive repair by quoting an outrageous rate of $159/hour for "headlight harness repair/diagnoses." The Result: I left Jiffy Lube without service and immediately went to Strickland Brothers down the road. They correctly accessed and replaced the headlight in under 5 minutes at no charge at all. The mechanic there even confirmed how ridiculous and unfounded Jiffy Lube's "too rusted" claim was. It appears this Jiffy Lube location is hiring people who are either incompetent or simply unwilling to do basic maintenance work. I will never return to this Jiffy Lube and highly recommend everyone go to Strickland Brothers for reliable, honest service.

I totally trust these guys and have been taking all my cars here for years and honestly never felt they try to take advantage of me. If I did I would remove my car and leave a poor review. They may be a little more expensive than some but I think you pay for what you get. In my industry we have a sign in out office that reads fast, cheap or good... pick two because you can't get all three. I have tried another shop in McHenry a few years ago that a friend recommended. The car was there for 3 days and I called because I hadn't heard anything. They stated that they were going to look at it the next day ( 4 working days later). I picked it up and brought it to North Town and was driving it two days later. I really have never had a bad experience here and do trust them.
