I was really happy with service and all the employees were friendly and working together to take care of my oil change needs. I will definitely recommend this location to friends. They did a fast oil change and am very very happy.

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.

My backpack remained in my trunk and was never offered or made available to any employee. I noticed my car was taking longer than usual to come through which was unusual. When I finally received my car back, I was handed my SPARE key -- a key stored deep inside my backpack. I did not give this key to anyone. There is no way an employee could have accessed this key without going through my personal belongings without my knowledge or consent. When my husband brought this to the manager's attention, the manager located my original key sitting on the driver tire -- confirming the attendant had it the whole time. When the manager asked his employee directly whether he went into my backpack, the employee denied it. That denial is not credible. The spare key did not remove itself from deep inside my bag. This was a clear violation of my privacy and personal property. I was lied to by staff and the situation was not properly addressed by management.

I went for an oil change and a brief check up of my car. And Angel took amazing care of my car and answered my many questions, gave me his best recommendations. Another location tried to tell me I needed some sort of fluid for my power steering, but he confirmed I would never have to worry about that. He also gave me a timeline for other services my car might need in the coming year. Then when it was time to pay, he grabbed a coupon, making it significantly cheaper than what it would've originally been. I will be coming back, thanks to Angel and the other gentleman that changed my oil and put air in my tires.

I always do my research, and unfortunately my assessment turned out to be correct even before Allman completed their diagnostics. Mike at Allman spent a great deal of time walking me through different scenarios and options, providing detailed estimates for each. I also requested additional estimates, including a full engine replacement, so I could make a fully informed decision. While their estimate was less than dealership service departments, it was slightly higher than another independent shop. After researching the difference, I found it came down to Allman using OEM parts rather than cheaper aftermarket parts made overseas. I don't use cheap parts on my vehicles, so that made the decision easy. Once I felt fully comfortable, I chose Allman and I'm glad I did. Mike kept me informed throughout the process, and my Jeep was back on the road even earlier than estimated. Thank you, Allman Family Auto, for the honesty, transparency, and quality work.

After I raised concerns about what I believed was a misdiagnosis and being overcharged for repairs that did not fix the original issue with my vehicle, I reached out to the shop directly to address the situation. To their credit, once I called them out and explained the ongoing problem, they agreed to take another look at my car. Upon re-evaluation, they acknowledged that the initial repair did not resolve the root issue. They worked on the vehicle again and ultimately fixed the original problem at no additional charge. I appreciate that they took responsibility and made the effort to correct the situation. While my initial experience was frustrating and felt misleading, I do recognize their willingness to make things right after the fact. I hope moving forward they improve their diagnostic process to prevent similar issues for other customers. Updating my review to reflect both the initial experience and the resolution.
