    It took 30 minutes to get my oil changed. Not very jiffy. They also didn't take my car in before the guy who came in 5 minutes after so he got his car 5 minutes before I got mine.

    came for an oil change. left with- low beams no longer working, a/c and heating not working and making banging sounds, check engine and 2 other warning lights came on. They pulled out all the filters but my fuel filter to do an.oil change and didn’t replace them properly. They tried to sell me wipers, filters, anything but oil. Worst oil change experience of my life. 1 of 3 staff was friendly, the other two had a tough time telling me where to pull in or where to wait while they worked on the car. The oil change took forever because they were busy disassembling the non-oil components of my vehicle. I’m not sure if the cause is upselling or incompetence, but my car needs a few hundred dollars of work after these guys tried to change my oil. Who knows if they changed the oil, they didn’t show me the filter they replaced, just every other filter in my car. Memorable enough to make me write this review on vacation.

    Always very professional and helpful service. My AC system had a leak and the manager told me to drive over here from the MV location. They fixed it and did my oil change. Overall, very impressed. Today, they topped off my power steering fluid, checked the brake fluid and also the battery. I can't complain. They go above and beyond for the customer.

    DO NOT GO TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. They will tell you your air filters are dirty, and show you ones that are not even from your car. Total rip off.

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
