    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.

    Mike the manager was very friendly and even made sure that I could see his lips when speaking after I told him of a hearing impairment.

    Mark, the mechanic is a FRAUD…read more In 2022 he replaced my AC compressor on my 2009 Nissan Frontier, he obviously did not flush the system out properly, stray particles got into the new compressor and it was screaming from the start when I picked it up. Mark charged me like ~$500 labor, he had me buy the parts myself (strange). I bought a NEW compressor kit from rock auto. 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. Finally I called the A-1 alternator front office, he said: " he's back there !" I called again, got Mark on the phone, he said:" I am REAL busy, if you need it fast I cannot help you. " I said it's not that I need it fast, I just need to schedule it with you - - - but it was obvious from his sour attitude he was not wanting the job back at all. He should have given my money back for the shitty job he did before. I will never use them again.

    My car randomly started having issues and every place I had called to do a diagnostic said that I…read morewould have to schedule an appointment for the following week. I called this place and they checked it out for me right on the spot, let me know what to order and said that he will install it for me. I believe Mark was the one helping me out. I got the needed parts in the mail, dropped my car off & picked it back up in the same day. Super reliable, if I ever have any other issues I will be going back here for sure. Thank you!

    Honesty is the first word that comes to mind here…read more I came in for a tuneup, and asked them to check my drive belt, it had 117,000 miles on it. They did, and said it was fine. They could have easily changed it, made money, and I would have never known. They also did my oil change. They have my future business.

    I do not advise purchasing a vehicle from this company! I bought a 2022 Dodge Charger February 2026…read morefor my son who is in the San Marcos area attending college and working two jobs. He is 6 hours away from home and needed reliable transportation. Prior to purchasing the vehicle, they had to flush/change the antifreeze/coolant, replace the radiator, replace the radiator cap, replace the thermostat, replace place the water pump gasket, replace the water pump, replace the battery, replace/repair the blower motor, replace/clean the cabin air filter, check the engine/powertrain computer/module and change the oil and filter. I am thinking we are making a good purchase due to the listed repairs/replacements. The car has overheated twice since buying it. The first time, we took it up there and they replaced the lower radiator hose and flushed/changed the antifreeze/coolant. The second time it overheated, they are now telling us it needs a motor. Purchased it in February and we now need a motor in June. This is extremely frustrating and very unacceptable. They stated because he has driven the car almost 7K miles commuting back and forth to both jobs and school, that they can't help us out. They had no intentions of helping me out. As a single parent of 4 children, it is already difficult enough taking care of my children on my own and paying for college out of pocket. The last thing I needed was for an auto center to take advantage of me as a woman. This is beyond upsetting.

    I can't comment on the quality of their work as I never got that far with them. I carefully…read moreexplained the issue with my car...both an ODBC scan and the information on the car's screen indicated a faulty Oil Temperature Sensor. The gentleman at the desk said they would need to check the thermostat as that sometimes caused the problem and quoted a price for the diagnostics. I let him know that the water temp was not reading high and reiterated that the problem was the oil temp sensor. 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
