For some, the cost in time is more significant than the cost of money.Just curious why anyone would pay those prices for Jiffy Lube? I've never paid that much, even at a dealership!

That's right I can change my own oil in less time than it takes to drive to Jiffy Lube, wait, have the oil changed and drive back home. At less cost with a better oil and a better filter!For some, the cost in time is more significant than the cost of money.
Same here, if it's spring through fall. If a vehicle needs a winter change, I drive it 30 miles to the military base and change it at the heated auto hobby shop. It's only a few bucks to rent a lift there.That's right I can change my own oil in less time than it takes to drive to Jiffy Lube, wait, have the oil changed and drive back home.

Does that include time and effort spent procuring supplies, disposing of waste and obsessing over it all?That's right I can change my own oil in less time than it takes to drive to Jiffy Lube, wait, have the oil changed and drive back home. At less cost with a better oil and a better filter!
I guess that must be it. I understand the convenience factor. It has been decades since I went to a quick lube; just didn't know their prices got so high.Does that include time and effort spent procuring supplies, disposing of waste and obsessing over it all?
Some are very happy to pay the money and deal with none of it. Must be, or Jiffy Lube wouldn't have done millions of oil changes over the last fifty years.
The prices do look high at that Jiffy Lube. For a lot of people Jiffy Lube is a known and trusted name though.Just curious why anyone would pay those prices for Jiffy Lube? I've never paid that much, even at a dealership!
Same here. They tried to up sell the AF and I said I just changed it 2 months ago. They said it was dirty. I said NO. They just threw the parts under the hood. They also took my valve stem caps and tossed them all.Only have one experience with Jiffy Lube. ...
On way back to shop, heard a thump thump thump thump sound (like a pulsation.) Turns out, they checked the air filter and didn't latch the cover back, just had it set on there. Also, they didn't change the oil filter.

The Stealership mentality is become more perverse everyday!Nissan dealer Service writer:You have a leak on the top of the engine. OK." We can replace the valve cover gaskets (should do both sides) " Only nine hundred dollars, what a bargain.Engine has about an ounce of oil the length of the engine atop the VQ56 V8 driver side valve cover after 56,000 miles. I told her I would do them myself.They kept us there for 4 hours.The reason we brought it in was for front brake pads.I will never return to that dealer again.
Sounds like the valve covers need to be resealed.Engine has about an ounce of oil the length of the engine atop the VQ56 V8 driver side valve cover after 56,000 miles.
Yes but before I did that my next OCI I would use HM oil and see if it took care of it!Sounds like the valve covers need to be resealed.
This is the saying comes into play "You get what you pay for". People think or assume for that amount of money, they're getting top quality oil recommended for their vehicle.Just curious why anyone would pay those prices for Jiffy Lube? I've never paid that much, even at a dealership!
I thought magnatec was kaput / not being made anymore? I used to put it in my VQ40, and would again if they started making it again. It also used to be 19.99 at chinamart or bezos's outfit.Another vote for Magnatec: noticeably quieter (VQ56) with this oil. Calls for 0W20.
Don’t forget a 7-foot-long breaker bar for your next OCI after the pit kid hits your drain plug with the impact gun that’s set to “pulverize”Oil change $42.88...and wait OMG you also need coolant change, brake fluid flush, tune up, electric power steering fluid change and blinker fluid
You could take it to my Toyota dealer instead. They sometimes say they changed the oil but don't actually change the oil. The good news is the drain plug is torqued correctly since the last one to touch it was meDon’t forget a 7-foot-long breaker bar for your next OCI after the pit kid hits your drain plug with the impact gun that’s set to “pulverize”
That was last stash Magnatec.I thought magnatec was kaput / not being made anymore? I used to put it in my VQ40, and would again if they started making it again. It also used to be 19.99 at chinamart or bezos's outfit.
Correct, the main hassle at Wally is waiting 2-3 hours for your car while you eat and walk around and buy more stuff....Walmart isn't going to hassle you about all that. Quick lube places will. That's why walmart has its advantages.
