What customers said about brakes
Jiffy Lube Oil ChangeJames was amazing. He is a great asset to this location. Very friendly guy explained the importance of my inspection. Very knowledgeable. Thnak you
Jiffy Lube Oil ChangeStore manager and techs were very professional and courteous, they got me in and out. The store manager walked me out to my vehicle after my break service and opened my door. Ive never had a woman open my door for me. Pleasant experience.
Jiffy Lube Oil ChangeMy go-to spot. Minimal upsale, perfect service and professionalism. And their honesty is great, as someone who usually maintains my own vehicle, it’s nice to not get sold things you don’t need. I won’t sincerely recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a quick and easy oil change.
Jiffy Lube Oil ChangeThis place took my car apart without making sure they had all the parts to change my breaks, and it took them 2 hours to tell me the parts finally came in. It took me 2.5 hours for literally breaks on 2 tires.
Jiffy Lube Oil ChangeQuick service, knowledgeable staff, very polite, I will definitely be taking my car here for all of my car needs. Thanks again Jiffy Lube for setting the standard for elite service.
Jiffy Lube Oil ChangeThe staff was amazing and the service was fairly quick and efficiently done. Definitely coming back
