    Oil access panel missing.

    **UPDATE** CHECK THE REVIEWS- ALL Newer Reviews are BAD. All the good reviews are from 2 years ago. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO JIFFY LUBE SAN MARCOS 9-5-2023- Leaking stopped after replacing oil pan drain plug and replacing Jiffy Lube brand oil filter. Which also meant another oil change. I also had to replace the oil filter access cover that was taken off and not re-installed by Jiffy Lube techs. No reply back from Jiffy Lube manager or District Office. I am now out the cost of oil drain plug, Oil filter, Oil-5qts, Oil filter access cover, & cover hardware. ($120) Lesson learned. **Update**8-21-2023 - Email from guest.relations@jiffyworld.com to call manager Matt. Left VM but no reply. **Update**8-19-2023Oil is still leaking from around oil filter. I will now be taking the car to the Mazda dealership to see what the issue is and to get the oil access panel replaced. Obviously inexperience tech who wrench tightened the oil filter and may have cause damage to oil filter threads. ** Update ** 7-31-2023 Took car into Jiffy Lube - San Marcos and spoke with Manager Ramon. Once he found out about the problem, he immediatley set about correcting the problem by replacing the filter and oil, then pressure testing to verify no leaks. He agreed that the car should not have left the 2nd time with the oil filter in the condition it was. He also refunded the cost of the original oil change. He also said he would speak to his team about this particular issue so it would not happen again. Posted previously- I have used Jiffy Lube nationwide for both my truck and wife's car and have not had any issues. I have used this location regularly in the past. 7-10-2023 Brought in wife's car for oil change. Notice oil leaks/dripping on driveway a few days later. 7-19-2023 took car back into Jiffy Lube - San Marcos and was told by tech and manager that they could not find any leaks and had checked the filter for tightness and let the engine run to check. Checked driveway under car over next few days and still noticed leaks/drips. I inspected under engine and discovered: 1. The oil filter access cover was missing. 2. Oil leak and drip at oil filter. 3. Oil filter has denting/crushing from mechanical/wrench/plier tightening. (see photos)

    One Jiffy Lube is just like all the rest? Not so much on todays visit. For the record I did not have any services performed by this location. For that reason you can be critical if you must; but the reason will leave you with the understanding that in JL's eyes all San Martians are billionaires. I did the Ardie commute, San Marcos and back via IH-35 to Austin with a stop in Kyle. The boy and I picked up some important legal documents from my moms office and headed south. Noticing while making the turn around at Oltorf JL that a sign said $25 oil changes. Thats a great price! Did my business in Kyle and headed for that oil change. I arrive at the San Marcos Iffy Lube only to be told that their oil changes started at $42. The staffer was unapologetic about their price, offering me no discount when I told him about the South Austin sale. I left stunned. On a bad day the maximum I would pay in Austin would be $32 with shop/disposal fees. I completed my business and hauled ass back to Austin for a better deal. I'm sure each JL is a franchise and some lucky guy could own 1 or 15; with that said from a customer service angle they lost my business because they didn't offer me anything close to what was offered 20 minutes northbound.

They've become our…read morego-to for all our vehicle service needs, and every single visit has reinforced why we keep coming back. Their turnaround time is consistently fast without ever sacrificing quality - whether it was replacing our timing belt or fixing a leaking oil pan, the work was done quickly and correctly. What really sets them apart, though, is their honesty and generosity. After being loyal customers over the past year, they went above and beyond and replaced our camshaft actuator completely free of charge. That's the kind of customer care you just don't find anymore. The staff is professional, knowledgeable, and clearly takes pride in doing right by their customers rather than just running up a bill. It's rare to find an auto shop you can trust completely, but APREMIER has earned that trust from us many times over. If you're looking for a reliable, fast, and honest mechanic in San Marcos, look no further. Highly recommend!

I was considering buying a Tundra I really liked from a local dealer, took it to Roy first to rule out issues. He found several issues that would cost me$1500-$3k to repair. The dealership manager was livid, declared the truck was in excellent condition as advertised and tried to say Roy was a bad mechanic....and then immediately dropped the truck price by 3k , and rudely badgered to get me to buy it. ?? So in spite of trash taking the inspection results, he knew they were correct. Tried to pull a fast one and Roy caught it. Truck was close to worth the money after the MAJOR price drop but after the temper tantrums and insults from the dealership manager I wasn't spending a penny there. Great job Roy and thanks for your integrity, I know that manager called and tried to mash on you for telling the truth.

    I have taken two cars to A & A Automotive for pre-purchase inspections (PPI, aka buyer's checks)…read more Both inspections were thorough and honest. We were treated with respect, and our questions were answered in detail. This is a multi-generational family-owned business, and I have had positive interactions with each generation and multiple levels of staff, from the owners, managers, and mechanics. Note, because this matters to some: I'm a woman and have not experienced any patronizing treatment. I've only had positive interactions with their team. The first car I brought in for inspection had very high miles but they learned that it was in fantastic mechanical condition--and since that was unlikely, the rest of their team joined in on the inspection to keep searching for some flaw that had been missed. They found nothing significant and gave us a list of the maintenance and repairs we should expect over the next few years, how much they would typically cost, and when we should expect them. That gave us the confidence needed to purchase the car and drive it across the country the next day. The second car I brought in had low miles, was in great exterior condition, and drove wonderfully. I only had it inspected for peace of mind. The A & A team found a host of problems under the surface. They learned that the car had internal parts held together by zip-ties, multiple leaks, and was almost certainly an unreported flood car. Disaster on wheels, no matter how well it drove in the short-term. I asked quite a few questions in both cases, and everything was answered in detail.

Than, I decided to try a 2nd time, called him in late May 2023, he said real busy, call back in a week, I started calling on that Thursday, 3 calls later could not get him to answer.

He quoted me a price to replace it and I gave them my information and set up an appointment for the next morning. Later that day I got 2 additional phone calls that were so confused on their part that it gave me pause. I took the car in anyway the next morning and on the way home I received a call telling me that they were seeing an a code for the faulty oil temp sensor and did I want to fix that too. Completely exasperated by their lack of understanding of the situation I asked them to give me an updated quote and was told they would get right back to me. Two hours later I received a call with what seemed to me a ridiculously high price based on the information I had available (and much higher than the original quote). When I picked up the car without them doing any work they seemed totally unconcerned about the loss of business. Caveat Emptor
