    Oil on road in front of house because of Jiffy Lube negligence.  Oil cap left off.

    I have a 2024 Honda Civic Sedan, less that two months old and approximately 1200 miles on it. I only went to Jiffy Lube in Lafayette, CA because they were listed as one of the Lyft Car Inspection stations. The cost was $50.00 and my car passed with no problems. The problem is, that they raised the hood (which they did not need to for a Lyft Inspection), removed the oil cap and laid it on top of the engine. I heard someone say "why do you have the hood up?" This is only a Lyft Inspection. So the guy put the hood down and I drove away not knowing my car was leaking oil everywhere. II drove the car approximately 60 miles at 70 miles per hour to Oakley, CA. A client is the one that noticed the leak and mentioned it. I opened the hood and it was obvious what had happened. There was oil all over the engine, the undercarriage, dripping down the inside of engine and all over hood, side of car, the glove box had oil in it and on papers. Oh, NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK. had oil delivered to me and it took 2 quarts costing me $35.00, plus numerous hours cleaning the oil using the car wash, hand wash, $15.00 at the car wash (no receipt) and taking it too Honda where is has cost me out of pocket so far over $700.00, luckily it didn't blow the brand new engine. Jiffy lube attempted to clean it up in house but they just don't have the time or expertise to detail my car and replace the damaged parts known so far. It has cost me waiting for Jiffy Lube to clean up their mess, approximately 4 hours. So far, I have done no Lyft rides because i have been cleaning this oil mess up since August 23, 2024. There is still a smell of oil even after Honda replaced the air filters, and the padding under the hood for heat. They provided a loaner since my car was in their shop for 5 days. I paid $38k for my new car two months ago and now it is destroyed from oil cap left off. THIS IS NEGLIGENCE. SAVE YOUR MONEY, STAY AWAY FROM JIFFY LUBE LAFAYETTE, CA. MY BRAND NEW CAR SMELLS LIKE OIL, HAS OIL RESIDUE ALL OVER EVERYTHING UNDER THE CAR, ON THE ENGINE, AND INSIDE THE CAR. AND I AM PISSED. I'M CALLING LEGAL AID. MY NIGHTMARE CONTINUES, JIFFY LUBE OFFERED ME A FREE OIL CHANGE. (WTH) LOL... I WILL NEVER GO TO ANOTHER JIFFY LUBE AGAIN. TWO LOCATIONS SECREWED ME OVER BY NEGLIGENCE COSTING ME TIME, MONEY, AND THE VALUE OF MY CAR. LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE A TRACK RECORD OF OIL CAP ISSUES.

    Here is where they left the oil cap. It also dented the hood when they closed it.

    These clowns somehow forgot to replace the oil cap, which lead to burning oil and oil spraying EVERYWHERE under the hood of my car. I also see another review with this EXACT SAME incident occurring to them! These people are SHADY!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE SLIMEBALLS!!! I also heard the coworkers talking trash about my car as they were working on it. Was this done maliciously or out of stupidity? You decide.

    Thank you, Goodwin, for making time for me, during a busy Saturday, despite having less than 1-hour…read morebefore close. Goodwin is the pinnacle of what a great business owner should be - experienced, friendly, and customer oriented. I came in on a Saturday afternoon, with no appointment, and wanted to check to see if there was an off-chance he could help me. My car was in need of a STAR-certified smog check in order to get the 2023 registration sticker. I wanted to support a local business, in Lafayette, that was still opened, and noticed CarTech with the high reviews. I also noticed that Yelp check-in had a $45 offer (does not include the certification and only good for vehicles before a certain year). My vehicle was 2008, which was probably the oldest vehicle, out of the other 3 that were in his lot. Anyways, Goodwin honored the Yelp offer and gave me 40% off the listed rate. He told me that it would be 30-45 minutes (meaning 15-20 minutes after when the business closed) and recommended that I hang out at the Starbucks across the street. Once the vehicle was ready, and passed (YAY!) he gave me a call and said no need to rush as he moved my vehicle to top priority. He was going to then work on the other vehicles, as he promised the owner that it would be ready by this afternoon. A man of his word. Huge respect for CarTech and especially the business owner.

    Worst ever. I scheduled online. Received an email saying I needed to be 10 minutes early. Got there…read moreand no one was there. Station attendant called said he would be there in a moment. Showed up after 30 minutes wait and was extremely rude. He said the $55 price was cash only. I said I would go get cash. He responded he didn't want my business and I should leave. CarTech is not worth the hassle.

I ended up going back to the exact same guy I used 11 years ago , Carlos at 15 Minutes Smog Test & Repair. Same guy, same professionalism, same incredible service. I was literally in and out in 15 minutes and paid only $40. Eleven years ago, I paid $35. In California, where prices have doubled and tripled on everything, this is honestly unbelievable. I called around before going, and everywhere else was quoting me anywhere from $60 to $80+. Carlos knows exactly what he's doing, which is why this place constantly has 5-star reviews. Super proactive, super professional, and they even cleaned my windshield while I was there. Seriously, don't waste your time chasing coupons or dealing with nonsense shops. If you need a smog check, go here. Carlos was phenomenal. A++ service. I honestly don't even understand how anyone else is still in business at this point.

    This is my go to spot for smog checks!…read more I like to make an appointment because they work on your car as soon as you get there. I've been there before without an appointment and other cars with appointments are worked on before mine. No big deal, since they're fine with walk ins. But if I can save 15 minutes, I'll save 15 minutes! Jose is efficient and quick! He's also friendly and appears to remember me - maybe because I've been going there for awhile! $40 for our cars, cash or credit. There's a cafe a block away but I check my email onsite and my car is ready! I should time him next time. I think it's been as fast as 12 minutes.
