    They do not inform you about the cost of the service ahead of time, so I assure you will be shocked since the prices are too high; for easy service like changing headlight they charged almost $40. Not recommended

    ⚠️ Major Safety Hazard! Do Not Use This Shop. I hired them to replace the front brake rotors and pads. When the brakes felt spongy, I asked the mechanic to re-check. He was arrogant and lied, insisting the size was correct and blaming the issue on air in the brake lines. He bled the brakes and stated he also verified that the size of the rotors were correct (he lied). Two days later, another mechanic from the dealership confirmed Jiffy Lube had installed the wrong size rotor and pad. This is a life-threatening safety failure due to negligence of the Jiffy Lube mechanic! They disregarded my safety and tried to deceive me. For your safety, avoid this mechanic.

    Worst mechanic I've ever had in my life. Please stay far away from anything but an oil change here. After Jiffy Lube installed new pads and rotors on my vehicle, I had an inspection done a few months later by another reputable mechanic. They said incorrect sizes on the front and suggested I go back to Jiffy Lube to have them replace it. The mechanic is a rude, arrogant, stubborn human who is uninformed. He refused to compare the specs of the parts that were originally installed by Jiffy Lube with OEM spec of the vehicle. He instead insisted it was that my brakes need bled. He "bled" the brakes and came out worse than when I brought it in. Taking my car to the dealership now after wasting my morning. Again, DO NOT LET THIS MECHANIC TOUCH YOUR VEHICLE. UPDATE: SUBARU CONFIRMED THAT THE INCORRECT SIZES WERE INSTALLED. The Jiffy Lube mechanic lied and said he checked that sizes were correct the last time we were in. This negligence could have caused irreparable damage to my vehicle and potentially is life threatening in the event of failure. I warn all that go in here. Please be cautious of who you go to for vehicle repairs and maintenance. Recommend getting critical work done only from a reputable mechanic or dealership.

    I went there for a uber inspection right everything was good except for this one minor thing that I don't have this wiper blade cover he want me to buy a new one or he will not pass me , and I just barely have enough money for the test, which is $50 for the inspection so he did not pass me just because of this play that cover the other half so I got to go all the way back to my house all the way back to East Oakland just to find a place that I used to have and put it back on there and go back all the way there is that crazy or what what's wrong with people I don't see nothing wrong with my wiper it's just that somebody stole my cover up my workplace and now I got to go all the way back to East Oakland and get it is that crazy or what what's wrong with people!!!!

How much does an oil change cost at Jiffy Lube?

You can receive a personalized oil change quote from your local Jiffy Lube service center by visiting MyJiffyLube at https://jiffylube.com/get-an-estimate/get-started.

Each Jiffy Lube service center is also independently owned and operated, and retail prices for products and services are determined at the local store level. You can also call your local store if you have additional questions.

How long does an oil change take at Jiffy Lube?

An oil change at Jiffy Lube could take 15 minutes or less, that's from the time we start your service, and the hood of your vehicle goes up, to when we've completed the service, and the hood goes down! Jiffy Lube pioneered the quick lube industry, and we are geared to handle oil changes for all types of vehicles. We also know that finding the time to get your car serviced is tough, so if you decide to complete a few of your other vehicle needs while visiting us, like a new cabin or engine air filter, tire rotation, or new windshield wipers, this could add additional time to your service. Finally, wait times can vary depending on the time of your visit and location of your service
