    I don’t know why the young man who changed my oil filled my glove compartment full of shredded fine paper that flew out all over my car when I opened it to put my paperwork inside

    I've used Jiffy Lube for years. Starting this first time the staffperson asked me if I wanted to replace the air filter. Fair enough. During that conversation he did not disclose there is a $9.99 "oil change fee" for rags gloves and supplies. Why would anyone think there is a an additional oil change fee in addition to the $109.99 oil change charge. Disclose it! He did not disclose there is a $15.00 extra fee for an extra quart of oil. The normal oil change is 5 quarts. My vehicle had 6 quarts. Disclose it! Instead of $109.99 it ended up $142.98. How does the consumer know? I checked the website. The Jiffy Lube website is extremely vague for the iphone version of the website. You have to click several times to get past the meaningless advertising verbiage. Never on the site did I locate anything about a "Supply Fee" (Oil charge fee), never did I see anything on the website that the oil change is for only 5 quarts. After the services were received, the website did allow me to do an estimate. I was required to DISCLOSE my license plate number. Why would I have to DISCLOSE a license plate number to get a price on an oil change? When the estimate did come it said "Starting at $122.98" with no explanation as to the details of the "estimate." Shop around, these places are always put out with questions, ask questions anyway!

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
