Jiffy Lube

Came back with a new car after my old one finally went kaput and thought I would update accordingly. The car has less than 18k miles on it so there wasn’t really a whole lot to upsell me on. Staff here is generally pretty friendly and today was no exception. It’s a Jiffy Lube. ‘Nuff said.
PS. Today was the first time I have ever been given the option of changing the next oil change refill distance. I was asked if I wanted the sticker to be set at 3k, 5k, or in between. Interesting.

In terms of Jiffy Lube, I felt this location had some of the nicest people. :) None of them pushed any of the product on me, in fact they missed a number of opportunities to do so.
There was a dead mouse in my air filter (which was not pretty) and they joked with me about it and had a great time. This was the one extra thing I did… There was a dead mouse in the air filter after all… This is the one thing they, obviously, recommended changing.
They did not recommend synthetic oil for my car, even though that is what it uses, I had to let them know. So I am not sure why some others here seemed to have such an issue. Also, to my understanding, they are supposed to ask how many miles you are planning on going for your next oil change, and they put that on your sticker, otherwise, 3,000 is the standard, and is not some sort of mind game, its just a guy being lazy, which isn’t good either, but it is what it is.
Everyone was super friendly, no one was pushy, they did what I told them to do, they asked questions. Overall, they did a good job. I’m not normally a Jiffy Lube person, usually I do Oil Can, which they tend be pushier there in my opinion a lot of the times as a rule, but that is just the nature of a place such as that. I don’t think you can get mad for these places asking you for extra stuff, it is part of their policy, if you don’t like that, go to Sears or somewhere where that’s not an issue, like a local garage. Otherwise, you get what you pay for, and learn to so no.

I freakin’ hate Jiffy Lube. I can’t say that this Jiffy Lube is any better than any other Jiffy Lube, but I always have anxiety every time I go there. I’m not the best car caretaker in the world and my car isn’t in the best condition. Like other people, I am always afraid that something is wrong with my car that I won’t understand and then I’ll end up buying something for a ridiculous price that I don’t really need. Uggh. When you’re put on the spot, it’s sometimes hard to say no because I don’t want to LOOK like the car maintenance retard that I really am!
The same guy helped me the two times that I’ve been there and he pushes the upsell really, really hard! I did manage to withstand his onslaught but jeez, I felt beat up after. I’ve been to other Jiffy Lubes and not had as much pressure.
The initial «bait» prices are really good and the service is very quick, but I’ve managed to find another place that’s low-​pressure and about the same price but it just takes them a little longer which I can definitely handle.

Getting the oil changed is a major pain — especially for me because my car is old and needs love (that I can’t afford) and I have a great fear that a service tech is going to tell me I need to «change the air in my tires» or some such nonsense and I’m going to fearfully do whatever is suggested at some outrageous price.
However, this is a very low-​pressure Jiffy Lube. The staff are friendly and helpful and rarely cross-​sell me other products or services. They run different specials (posted on the sign outside their location) and have coupons in the paper so you can usually get a deal of some kind. They also seem to do a thorough job & I love that they’ll vacuum my carpets.
