Jiffy Lube stripped my oil pan avoid this shop !!!, i'm pissed, now there seems to be oil in my driveway, they cant even do a simple oil change. how much is a new oem oil pan/drain bolt?

sbuswell

that sucks, i don't let anyone touch my car unless it's for tires and alignments.

ChampionFiyah

yea, i stopped going to them a while ago, only went to them 3 times after i first got my car a year ago, now i just go and buy mobile clean5000 and a mobile 1 oil filter and have a guy from a independent garage do it, he told me the last time i was their that my oil pan was kinda stripped but it was okay because he was going to use a longer bolt to catch the threads thats left but eventually they would wear out too, now about 3mo later i see oil in my driveway, i know jiffy wont admit it but it was them

BlkwidwAk

that sucks man...but that bolt shouldnt be that much.
I just took my 98 3.0 2-door accord there that i just bought. But I change everything else my self on my tls..
I dont think its Jeffy Lube...but, its the people that work there. they dont know what F they are doing..

Q1911

. My boy use to manage one, so i would take my car there b/c i trusted him.


Who can say no to free oil changes?

ChampionFiyah

I would get a new bolt but i was told that the tl's already have the biggest bolt around, and I already have a long one to catch the threads that are left, so what are my options, new oil pan or what?

Rsoetidjo

You shouldn't go there anyway.
Did you ever hear the news about they rip people off.
They telling people they need additional work on the vehicle and charging them for the work but not actually doing it.
Including not changing oil filter and fuel filter.
Here the link about it http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/scams/jiffylube.asp

PS: sorry to hear about your car, hopefully you get it fix. Good luck...

dont take your car to fuck tards who's doing it for 6 bucks an hour to fix their cocaine crave man

Billy Sacco

Its around $90 or so for a new oil pan I am pretty sure. Sorry to hear about that but yeah don't let those a$$holes touch your car!

Here's the Oil Pan for a 2002. Not sure of your year. Cost about $72.50.

I suspect it's the same part for all 2G's, but can't be sure.

ChrisQ1980

I do it 95% of the time, if it has to be done in the winter when I can't do it, then it goes to the dealer.

ALL quick lube places are bad ideas.

onsknth

New oil pan????

Whatev!

Retap the hole and use a bigger drain bolt.

03aspec

why the hell would you go to jiffy lube anyways? its all bunch of stupid kids that work there who know fuck all about cars...herd so many dumb stories

onsknth

C'mon, give them "some" credit... They know there's a bolt under there somewhere that has oil behind it. Be glad they didn't drain your transmission and then fill your crankcase with another 4+ quarts of oil.

Cereal! I was hired at a jiffy-lube like 20+ years ago... I got as far as picking out an "outfit" (jiffy uniform) and filled out a W2 to start work before I punched out and said I wasn't interested anymore... I actually received a check for 1/2hr pay!!!

ChampionFiyah

ROFL, Can yall imagine that, lol, they drain out your transmission fluid and fill it with power steering fluid, drain out your brake fluid and fill it with WD-40, perform a coolant flush and fill it with windshield washer fluid, and fill your windshield fluid with gear oil, huh, lol

ChampionFiyah

then on top of that they act stupid and admit no fault and try to put it on you

ChampionFiyah

welp, its my fault for even bringing it to jiffy the three times that i did, they tried to offer to do other things i said NO!, but anyway now i gotta fix their f*** up, so how much is the labor to install a $90 or so oil pan, i learned a lesson that i already knew, yall can be sure my 06 5at tl wont go through this when i get it

AcuraBuddy

You can always go to some local car shop, which is what I do. I was never a fan of those chain stores such as Jiffy Nube lol

ChampionFiyah

yea, i go to a independent local shop now, and bring my own oil and filter, works out great

fsttyms1

Its also your fault for not bringing up the issue with them.

You have a few choices.

A.) Retap the oilpan and get a larger bolt

B.) Replace it with a new/used one.

C.) JB Weld a Sure Drain or like device into place and use that from now on.

ChampionFiyah

Yea I already got a new larger bolt. I went out to check my oil this morning and its still full at the exact same level it was when I last got the oil changed a few weeks ago, after doing further investigation I came to the conclusion that it wasn't my car, I parked it in a new place last night, and seen no oil this morning, so I must have parked over someone elses oil mess, or It chould have been my cuz's nissan since I found out he stopped by and I wasnt home, but anyhow, thanks everyone for your input, I was gonna be pissed if more money had to leave my pockets

burnerjunky

just get it fixed at the acura dealership and then give them the bill. on my old car they tightened theoil filter to tight and it blew up while i was driving and shot oil everywhere and ficked with my engine so i talked to them and they paid for all the damages and gave me a free oil change

Black Tire

I goto my Acura dealer. They lowered the price on an oil change too. About $35.

JetJock

$35.00 for an oil change....RIPOFF!!!

I took my 1994 Honda DelSol to Jiffy Lube....they checked the airfilter...then stripped the plastic housing when replacing the bolts. It's over $300 to replace the airfilter housing. They denied doing it. They said it's an old car...and anyone could have done it over the years. They didn't notice that the car is in mint almost showroom new condition...original everything....it looks new inside and out.

Bearcat94

$35 Dealer <<< $300+ Jiffy Lube F-up.

Q1911

hahahah. what a ripoff 35 dollars is

ChampionFiyah

damn, just reading other peoples stories makes me more angry

Either your age is wrong, or you got started REALLY EARLY.

ChampionFiyah

jiffy lube will mess your car up, thats for sure, walmart tle is just as bad if not worse, i never took any car to wm tle but i know because two friends worked their

onsknth

Surprised noone has said this yet... BUT IMHO I think the DEALER is on the SAME LEVEL as the Jiffy Screwin'.

For real, take your car to the dealer for rattles, tire changes, simple TSBs, or worse of all an oil change... You get the same dumchit HS dropout wrench beater doing the work, except the guy at the Acura dealer has a nicer oil changin bay and you can go look at all the new cars.

Dealer only touches my ride for something catastophic AND covered under warranty... Otherwise it's all me and only me touching my car!

Dealers are worse IMO because they see all the same cars day in and day out so they get COMPLACENT!

haha why would you go to a place thats called Jiffy Lube anyways. sounds too funny and dirty, like some anal lube or something. hahaha

I went to the dealer once to get a simple tranny fluid change, and they took my car back out and said they cant work on it because the tranny case is cracked and its leaking fluid. They said the new tranny would be $5000. I went to a local shop, and it turns out that it was leaking a lil fluid but I only needed axle seals not a whole damn transmission for $5k, dealers lie sometimes, ever since then I never go to a dealer unless i'm picking up oem fluid or parts to use elsewere

Billy Sacco

I agree f!@cking dealership broke my starter then wanted to charge me 650 for a new one. Learn to do the basic stuff yourself otherwise bend over and spread your cheeks,

I'd have to say that if you were to go anywhere, talk to the guy who's doing the work for you. Get to know him. Watch him if you have to, just make sure your car is being put through the service you're paying for.

I've had service done at quick change places, small shops, big chain shops, and dealerships for all the vehicles I've ever owned. Every time someone touches my car, I'm there. I witness the procedure and make sure that everything is done correctly - unless it's some sort of warranty work, then I drop the car off and go about my business. If something were to get messed up while it's going through that kind of hassle, your dealership will most likely take care of you. People will typically do better work when the person paying their salary is watching them.

There's a Meineke up the street where a good gearhead buddy of mine works. I still pay my 25 bucks for the oil change because he knows his work and deserves his pay even though I could get it done for free.

Vizi

I think $35 is pretty good. Consider cost of oil, cost of filter, disposal of oil and the labor. It's like you're paying a few bucks for someone to get their hands dirty. Why not?

mzahidi

LOL
i used to goto my local jiffy (well there's 2 of them)
i used to make sure they do everything properly,

seriously! they are a bunch of id8s!

MY BATTERY COVER PLATE GOT SCREWED UP, dunno why but they took it out and put in on the engine...not only did it melt a lil but yea it got crushed up when the hood was closed...
JL is the worst, i'd rather goto walmart!

i have a guy abt 20 miles away that i get my stuff done from. I need some wheel ramps+ oil pan to collect the oil and i'm doin it myself during the summer/spring.

CL SpeedsteR

what the F do you mean how much is a new oem oil pan/drain bolt? you mean how much are those idiots going to pay you when you sue them!

my cousin took those fuc*^*& to a small claims court and got awarded 5 grand for a p.o.s 81 olds cutlass.

if it was my car and that happened to me, i would pretend like i didnt see any oil l......wait a minute whats the topic here? you catch my drift. what oil leak??? oh crap! you have a oil leak after going to jiffy lube??? now your motor is blown??

hmmmm who was the last person to touch your car?

"""ahem ahem"""" brand new motor''''' for free.

your call man.

ChampionFiyah

"mzahidi: JL is the worst, i'd rather goto walmart", naw, walmart tle will f*** your sh*t up even worse
