    Went in to get brake pads replaced. They immediately informed me that the brake pads were still good and gave me some recommendations for how to stop the brake squealing in my own. They could have wasted my time and money but didn’t. 100% will go to them in the future.

    Horrible experience. Cost me almost $1000 to repair my car after getting service here. I came for a regular oil change. My car had an “engine coolant level low” indicator on. I asked service technicians to check it as well, they said they topped it off. Next day the indicator went off again, so I went back. One of the technicians told me everything was okay, and they added more coolant. Next morning on my way to work my car broke down on a highway. Car didn’t stop smoking for an hour. Had to get a tow truck and go to an auto shop. Apparently, there was a coolant leak. I wish Jiffy Lube technicians actually had a look at my car instead of just adding more coolant and sending me off. It’s a pity. I’ve been a customer for a few years. Never coming back again.

    While crew was very friendly, kept the place very clean. Service was finished very quickly and I was on my way. Didn’t push anything I didn’t need.

    I went in for an oil change, did a great job as usual. They also let me know my rear brake pads and rotors needed to be changed. I held off for a few days, come to learn that the intermittent 'brake' light flashing, which had been occurring for some time, indicated either low brake fluid and/or due to pads wearing. I decided to have them do the job. I know a lot of guys will tell you "brake pads and rotors are the easiest thing to do; you should do it yourself." Yeah, so is giving myself a hair cut. NOT!! I don't have the inclination to do this, so I will always have to pay someone to do this for me. Literally had the brakes done the same morning of the day that we took a road trip from Monterey to Sacramento and then on over to South Lake Tahoe for a weekend; and back home. The intermittent brake light never came back on and the brakes felt very safe. I highly recommend them!

Frequently Asked Questions About Jiffy Lube

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. This is the best way to get a quote because the cost of an oil change will vary based on your vehicle’s manufacturer recommendations for oil type and your vehicle’s engine oil capacity. 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
