Jiffy Lube Thousand Oaks began servicing my 1992 Honda Civic, then, 10 minutes into the service, advised me that they could not complete the service and that the service performed so far (wiper fluid fill, etc.) would be at no charge.
They claimed that there was a problem with the drain plug and that it was the fault of the Honda dealer who last serviced my car. They recommended that I take the car to Honda.
This car had never leaked any oil prior to the Jiffy Lube service, but when I brought the car home, it leaked oil all over my garage.
Jiffy Lube stripped the oil pan by over-torquing the drain plug, and replacement of the oil pan cost $349.13. They have refused to accept responsibility, so I am suing them.
A word to the wise: even when you only need minor maintenance such as an oil change, take your car to a reputable mechanic! Choosing Jiffy Lube might get you what I got; a $30 oil change becomes a $349.13 major repair. Dont get screwed, dont choose Jiffy Lube!
