Time

At Jiffy Lube getting an oil change and they asked if I wanted to replace the fuel filter for 250.00. It's a 35.00 part

Did they crumple up some leaves and put them on the filter before showing you?

That's the air filter, and yes, leaf crumbling is a required step for Jiffy...

Depending on your billable rate, that may be a good deal.

One has to steel oneself for the onslaught of upsell attempts before going there

Normally I do, same with my Brakes. Just didn't have time to do it before leaving out of town.

How much do you save by changing your own oil?

ochobeeguy

May 24, 10:11am

For me it's around $70 saved, assuming the $106 for a full synthetic change

I've changed my oil for the last several years

70% if you’re full synthetic.

I’ve been changing my own with full synthetic for years. Saves a ton and my last 3 cars have all gone over 200k miles

People. Avoid Jiffy Lube like the plague.

Just change your own oil. It's so easy and peace of mind that it's done right.

May 24, 9:31am

Normally I do, was just in a hurry and we are leaving on a road trip and didn't have time.

I once took my van to Jiffy Lube. They told me the coolant cap was failing.

Same with my wife. She said "I'd better not get one here, they tend to fail…"

Why would you go there? It’s about the worst place to go.
