Re: A Day At Jiffy Lube

I work for a Toyota dealer that is right off the service road of a main hwy. On either direction of the hwy there are 2 jiffy lubes both within a 3 mile distance from us. I cannot tell you what crazy stuff I have seen come in from them. Just last week we had a 03 tacoma come in. He had gone to jiffy lube to get his trans/diff drained and filled. Well its a 4x4 when they tightened the plug on his transfer case the cracked it I guess and let him go. next day the car gets towed into us and the whole casing around the plug was cracked. cost them $2k for a case and labor. I too have seen older 4Runners come in where they just had there coolant flushed and ends up blowing there headgaskets due to very low coolant level. I cannot tell you how many motors I have done for them due to loose drain plugs, loose oil filters or not enough oil. I did a motor 2 weeks ago on a "04 TUNDRA" the guy who changed the oil did not reset his gun I guess they take close to 7 qts of oil well it had about 2 I guess he did something with 5 qts before well anyway it trashed out the complete motor/heads there was casting all over the place. I guess I really cant complain about them eventhough there work sucks it keeps us busy .
