Jiffy Lube messed up my tire rotation
I get my tires rotated every time I get my oil changed (about every 6 months). Usually never a problem, however a couple days after the tire rotation my wheel starts vibrating left to right regardless of speed. Considering the snow and weather elements I give it a week to see if it gets any better. It does not.
Schedule an appointment with Firestone to check out the problem and they walk out to the car with me. Turns out 2 of the nuts weren't put back on all the way and it caused 2 of the bolts to bend thus causing the shake in my steering wheel. Total cost was $270 to fix.
Reached out to the Jiffy Lube store about reimbursement and the guy answering the phone kinda played dumb not knowing what I was talking about. I told him fine, I'll contact corporate. Filled a claim on the website and just talked to the Regional Manager. Looks like I'm on my way to getting reimbursed.
Still can't believe they fucked up a tire rotation.

I got an oil change at JL due to a coupon. Afterwards they casually mentioned that my drain bolt didn't seem right.
Then I experienced a significant leak. Fers stripped the drain hole! I had to get it retapped.
No JL for me.

We had a speed lube near me and they used to always make it act like your car was going to break down every time you went in for an oil change. They ended up shutting down because people got sick of their bs and stopped showing up.Shill Jackson wrote:I got an oil change at JL due to a coupon.

I use the Canadian equivalent Mr. Lube whenever I think I "just" need an oil change because it's so quick relative to going to the dealership. I've never had a bad experience.

Happy you're getting it taken care of.
I took my old Mustang there and they messed it up so badly I haven't ever been back.
