    This is the zip tie after they told me they replaced the parts when they not!

    This is the first time I leave negative reviews, but I feel other customers should know about my experience. I brought my vehicle to this Jiffy Lube for a routine oil change. Before the service, my underbody cover was not hanging or damaged. Within hours of leaving the shop, the underbody cover came loose while I was driving in FREEWAY! We can see sparks at the back in the car while driving because the metal part dragging the floor so we have to pull over 2x the plastic and metal underbody cover had been torn and was hanging down. I returned to the shop the next day since it's Sunday and they close early. During my first return visit, they replaced the metal cover but didn't properly secure the plastic underbody cover. I left with loose and hanging plastic parts, which was unacceptable. Because of that, I had to return to the shop a second time. They secured the loose plastic underbody cover, but they refused to replace the damaged plastic undercover, telling me there was no manager on site who could approve it. I then contacted Jiffy Lube Guest Relations and opened Case. I was told the District Manager would handle my claim. Despite following up and waiting for a response for 2weeks, I have received no communication and no meaningful resolution from them. I'm not asking for anything unreasonable. I simply want the damaged plastic underbody cover replaced if it was damaged during the service. Instead, I've had to make multiple trips back to the shop, deal with poor communication, and spend my own time trying to get this resolved. The most disappointing part of this experience isn't just the damage it's how the issue has been handled afterward. I hope Jiffy Lube improves its customer service and takes responsibility when customers report problems that occur immediately after service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Jiffy Lube.

    Roger and Osmara were splendid, quick, courteous and pleasant. They did an awesome job with my wife's car that I immediately returned with my car.

    Just go to the next one. Especially if you're doing an Uber inspection. Had Kevin H. do an Uber inspection they didn't even start and told me it wouldn't pass inspection because of a small ding in the front bumper bottom and a scratch on the side back fender/bumper pics included(Ubers rules below as well/which are no where on the checklist). I was ready to leave as they didn't even start the inspection but they proceeded to tell me they need to charge me. I'm asking for what they told me the labor. Mind you they didn't even start I did more work filling out the pad and opening the door for them. I just stomach it anyways. They continue to start the inspection. Get my paper back and the exterior had nothing to do with anything. I'm guessing they just threw in the tire depth for the hell of it not passing to save face on what the were claiming(tires are fine). Customer service was pretty bad neither employee Kevin or the manager on duty who was communicating had no people skills even the other guy who had to chime in while doing an oil change in the next lane over. Ofcourse a customer will be mad for someone doing nothing and telling them they're being charge ultimately got them not even to pass a vehicle. Pretty much messing up a work day. Luckily I have multiple vehicles to use. *called Uber they said the vehicle exterior is acceptable. * Uber Vehicle Requirements (U.S., general): Uber requires vehicles to: * Be in good cosmetic condition (no major dents or large scratches) * Not have missing parts (e.g., bumpers, lights, hubcaps) * Pass a vehicle inspection, which includes exterior appearance

    ok, so let's talk about it now that i have officially gotten myself situated with my car situation. i would like to finally announce the bullshit that i went through when i just came for a regular service i came in for the service of an oil change maybe an air filter change not a problem that went swell. i stated to the texh i will have a photo screenshot it below all the techs that worked on my car that day and i have a time stamped if coincidentally this little business wants to get in contact with me. nonetheless, i came in for an oil change. i also stated to the female tech that i was speaking to regarding of my brakes. she stated to me that she will speak to the manager and see if they can do a free break check she did i got the free brake check. they stated to me all tires and all brakes are bad and they need to be fixed not a problem. i understand the situation and where my car is sitting at so i would like an explanation as to why i go to my cars dealership to get a second opinion on my brakes. they tell me the same situation about my tires. same thing about my brakes. the one thing these techs at jiffy lube at 540 lake murray blvd. did not state to me where that my two front brakes were on backwards after the fact that she stated to me that they did the routine break check and all that she found was that they were bad no notion of oh by the way, whatever mechanic worked on your car, put your brakes on backwards no conversation of that no statement i still have the invoice. none of that was ever stated to me until i went to the dealership and they told me the wholehearted truth. it's kind of fucked up that i trusted these people with my car and i really wish that they were honest with me because they acted and wanted to treat me like i was like oh so great customer but in reality they did me dirty got more money out of my pocket didn't go to them thankfully but i got myself resolved. i got myself situated. i would not recommend this jiffy lube to anyone especially these techs that i'm going to list below with this photo. i recommend y'all do your research when looking for a decent place to go get an oil change or even get a little check in with your car these texhs don't do the work. they wanna just take your money and bullshit you that was so rude and so unprofessional that these people couldn't sit here and tell me oh by the way, your life could be in danger because your brakes are backwards, never stated a single thing to me, but thankfully, i found somebody who could help me and it is actually better than this goddamn company

    Excellent service very clean and organized

    they're very helpful and honest about the problem and what's needed to be fix will really get fixedread more

    After years of looking for a mechanic and only taking my Subaru to the dealership for all repairs…read moreor maintenance over the life of the car (8 years), I decided to take a chance here. I had a great experience with Alex at Value Auto Repair. I originally reached out through Yelp, and he was responsive and answered all of my questions. His pricing was significantly better than what the dealership quoted me, but what really stood out wasn't just the price--it was his honesty. I came in with a humming noise that I believed was a bad wheel bearing but was unsure. Alex was upfront from the beginning after making the same diagnosis and even encouraged me to get quotes from other mechanics if it made me feel more comfortable so I could make sure I was getting a fair deal. That kind of confidence and transparency is hard to find. When I arrived, he was able to get my car in within about 30 minutes to diagnose it. While the part was being delivered, I went to lunch, and once I came back, he had the wheel bearing replaced in about 45 minutes. Before I left, he took the time to show me both the old and new wheel bearings, explaining how they worked and letting me hear and feel the difference. I really appreciated him taking the time to educate me instead of just handing me a bill. One thing I noticed while I was waiting was how many customers came in who clearly knew Alex. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to see him, several appeared to be repeat customers, and there was an obvious level of trust between them. After my own experience, I completely understand why. Alex also has a great sense of humor, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Most importantly, the humming noise is completely gone, and my car drives perfectly again. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable mechanic who charges fair prices and genuinely cares about his customers, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alex and Value Auto Repair. I know I'll definitely be back.

    This automotive repair facility is honestly, in my opinion, the very best auto repair facility in…read moreSan Diego County. Let me explain.. Back in April, when I serviced my 2012 Ford Fusion for a synthetic blend oil change at El Cajon Ford, I was told I needed front and back brakes. I was quoted $600.00 for the front brakes and the.same amount for the back brakes. This amount to me seemed extraordinarily High. I discussed this with an old college buddy and he recommended AAA Smog & Repair Center on El Cajon Boulevard. I had utilized this facility in early May to smog my Ford Fusion. The smog check took a total of 5 minutes to complete and of course my car passed with flying colors. Incidentally, the technician at El Cajon Ford had told me to make sure I get both brakes front and back done in May, as I risked the possiblity of damaging the rotors. Needless to say, I wasn't happy about this as shelling out $1,200 for brakes just isn't in my budget right now. I took my vehicle in for brake servicing at AAA Smog & Repair Center on Friday, June 12th, 2026. Mike, who runs the facility quoted me $375.00 maximum for front brake disc replacement. The work was done in about 2 and 1/2 hours, and the total with tax came out to $394.00. Mike inspected my back brakes and told me there is no way that the back brakes need to be replaced right now. As a matter of fact, he told me the back brakes have at least a year's worth of life left in them. And he explained, as we all know, that the front brakes handled about 80% of braking requirements. I left this facility having paid out a total of $394.00 as stated above.Wow!! On a one to five star rating, if I could give this auto repair facility 10 stars I certainly would. Mike and his wonderful crew got the job done in just a couple of hours and didn't try to break the bank. And unlike other facilities (like El Cajon Ford) he doesn't recommend work that doesn't need to be done. Mike is the most honest service technician/manager I have ever met. This is the kind of auto repair facility one finds in small sleepy towns, located far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. For example, windshield wiper replacement at this facility runs $11.99 per blade in contrast to Discount Tire, who is selling their wiper replacement blades for around $35.00.. Auto Zone comes in at a few dollars less and El Cajon Ford is off the charts for even a simple replacement part such as windshield wiper replacement blades. This price of this one part serves as a metaphor regarding the fact that this facility cares about us customers in charging the fairest priced for parts and labor possible. They truly care about the customer. This auto repair facility has earned my very highest recommendation. As referenced above, they are not out to break the bank And as a matter of fact, Mike and the crew are trying to save the consumer as much money as is humanly possible in this day and age. Additionally, this facility offers DMV registration renewal, allowing the consumer to skip the long lines at the DMV. They also offer body work and basically anything can be done under the hood.The one thing they don't specialize in is oil changes, though the facility will in fact order the oil and filter required if an oil change is absolutely necessary when other work is being done. Let's face it, all companies are in business to make a profit, of course. The problem, with so many companies out there, is that they gouge the customer, to make a huge profit and are charging prices that are probably 500 to 1000 percent above what should be reasonably and morally charged for parts and services way above what most consumers can actually afford. This company is different. They are charging an extremely fair price thereby saving consumers a ton of money that those other huge companies love to just swallow up with their overinflated high end prices. My warmest thanks and "hats off" to Mike and his gallant crew!! I'll be back at this shop for electrical work in August or September. I wholeheartedly recommend everybody out there consider utilizing this auto repair facility before shelling out those big bucks at those other well known large facilities. Thanks again!!

She was returned to me in a timely manner and for what I would call an extremely fair price (under $2500) for 3 major repairs, an oil change and even a few new belts and filters! The staff were wonderful with keeping me up to date on how things were going along the way too ...as she's nearly 40 some parts took a minute! Anyway after all these months since I took her in, she's STILL running like a top and even though I check my coolant and transmission fluid regularly, she has never even needed topping off so she's sound as a drum!
