Here is the follow on reports:
http://www.nbc4.tv/video/9155837/detail.html
http://www.nbc4.tv/video/9265802/detail.html
3rd time in 3 years this company has stated they would change their ways... and the 1st time they were training employees how not to get caught... Sounds like a great company to me!
I would avoid Jiffy Lube at all costs.

I don't know if any other chains are any better. I had to tell a Valvoline Instant Oil Change to stop checking the air filter on my Mustang because they would always put the air box back together wrong cutting off most of the air flow to then engine. They just don't care.

This is why you should do your own maintenance. Those scamartist know that the majority of customers who take their cars to those type of establishments don't know a wrench from a screwdriver.
It's always a good thing to catch a thief.

You have to question the overall ethics of Jiffy Lube if the district manager will not even own up that he is the manager.
I do all my own service because of this type of baloney.

I can't imagine why anyone would even go to a Jiffy Lube in LA after seeing that report. How do they stay in business or why isn't the Better Business Bureau or the Attorney General involved?

At first I was going to give Juffy Lube the benefit of the doubt and blame the district manager, who was obviously a sleazeball. After watching the next two reports I'm not so sure.
Like many people here, I do my own work so I don't have to worry about places like this...

Can't watch the videos on this computer. what happened?
let me guess, didn't change the oil, or said the air filters needed to be replaced, even tho they were new? Or put old oil in peoples cars?

I'ts an ugly world out there.
Surely there is an honest mechanic somwehere?
I have been doing my own serviceing since 1960 (steam powered - just kidding). My '89 Camry with 250K Kms never saw the inside of a shop, I traded it for for the 4 Runner. It was running perfectly and in great shape. Only service I let the dealer do is service under warranty, even then I check their work when I get the truck back and I have found things wrong.
