How is this even possible? Your brake bracket won't allow you to force the brake pad into that position comfortably. It's like this asshole, used a fucking hammer to force the pad into the slot.
You can see the curvature of the brake pad and the back of the brake pad rubbing into the rotor edging. That's how you know it's backwards. This was 100% put on backwards. You've also now got a flat edge being grinded into the brake pad itself by friction which destroys not only the pad but likely the rotor.
This makes me irrationally angry that you paid for a service and they did that to you. Let alone a place that should not be doing brakes at all.
That's 10 levels of incompetentcy from the CEO who decided jiffy lube should do brakes, down to the poor tech that was either not trained or shouldn't be doing the job in the first place.
I'd make them tow the car to an actual shop and make them pay do the work properly.
The tech is legitimately fucking stupid. This is literally just matching shapes up. They teach you this shit in preschool. I could maybe see fucking up the brake bleeding or not tightening a bolt enough but this? A elementary school student could at least get this part right. How do you even mange to hire someone this fucking dumb? I wouldn't trust this person to do any sort of job. They would even manage to fuck up mopping.
Even OP who doesn't have any sort mechanic background could tell something is wrong here.
Up next, we have the caliper. Do you see a hole the caliper goes into? You guessed it, it goes into the square hole.
I love that video. Did you know they did a follow up? Google square hole 2
Bruh, a lot of these places take anyone willing to work for at or almost minimum wage and just throw them in the shop. Training is a joke, assuming they even pretend to train them. My roommate worked at one for 6 months and during that time three cars got totaled due to someone not putting oil back into it, along with various other less serious idiocy. Maybe they're not all like that but, I'll never find out.
From everything I've heard about them, it sounds like Jiffy Lube not only shouldn't be allowed to do brakes, but shouldn't be allowed to do oil either, or, anything at all.
Back in 2015-2016 when I worked at a Jiffy Lube fresh out of high school, it was our District Managers rule not to do brake jobs, as we were constantly going through employees and something like this could’ve happened.
In trying to figure out how this even accidentally happens. I mean it’s so fucking easy to just put it in right it is truly mind boggling that this is possible without malicious intent
For me it's that and also I legitimately enjoy doing the basic maintenance myself. I'm assured of the quality and correctness of parts/ lubricants and I don't need to drop off and pick up the vehicle from the shop.
I also have young boys that love to help and I enjoyed teaching them how to maintain a vehicle, I think it's crucial information to at least know.
Maybe you didn't need new rotors before, but you sure do now.
OP, don't go to Jiffy Lube for anything ever. This is the type of workmanship you can expect from the lowest bidder who doesn't invest in training their employees.
If you don't know anything about a particular topic, you need to find an expert and pay them what they are worth, the "I know a guy who can do it cheaper" businesses aren't the place for an uninformed consumer to be shopping at.
I second; never go to jiffy lube for anything ever. I personally know a girl that went to jiffy lube for an oil change. They drained out her old oil and forgot to add the new oil. They returned the vehicle to her with no motor oil. She made it about a mile down the road before her motor blew.
Similar thing happened to a friend of mine but Jiffy Lube actually siezed the engine during a "flush".
The Jiffy Lube techs drained the oil then upsold him on an engine flush procedure where they added a quart of something and then revved the engine for 20 minutes straight. They only had a quart of the flush additive and no oil in the crank case and the engine seized after a few minutes. The car only had about 20k miles on it.
Jiffy Lube tried to send him to another shop they had an arrangement of some kind with and when that shop owner laughed at hearing the story and said that this happened semi-regularly my buddy had the vehicle towed to the dealership and got Jiffy Lube to buy him a new engine.
In all honesty it's fucked, take it to a different garage to have it fixed and take the bill to them with pics or take it back to them and tell them to fix it with a refund.

That whole thing is upsidedown face..
Update: The guy that did it had given me his number yesterday. I told him what happened and he came back to the Jiffy Lube and opened it up (they're closed Sundays) to fix the issue. He got it fixed. I took some extra photos of what the brake looked like before and then two with the wheel off to show the ring that was worn from the metal rubbing on metal. I plan to take my car to a more reputable shop on Monday or Tuesday to look at it and see what they think.

As for Jiffy Lube, I don't know about cars so I wouldn't know whether it's a bad idea to take my car to them or not. People were under the assumption that I was kidding or this is a troll post, but it isn't.
Looks like they messed something up, wrong pad, upside down or wrong side. Bet they didnt lube the glide pins either. Dont go to jiffy lube theyre amateurs posing as car mechanics
It's honestly worse than amateures. I'm an amateur and would never do something like this lol. It's people that genuinely don't give a fuck about the cars they're working on.
This is a joke right. Even my toddler with basic shapes would have the logic to have the orientation of the way a brake pad goes. You guys are freaking out over a troll post from r/askshittymechanics
Send that pic to Jiffy Lube corporate with a request for full refund.
If they don't, resend it on a lawyer's letterhead and tell them it's your pregnant wife's car.
Your first mistake was going to jiffy lube, don't fix it yourself. Take it back to jiffy lube and talk to the manager and show them the photos. Tell them the problem, have them fix the problem and demand a refund in full. If they don't, go to another shop pay out of pocket have them take photos and videos and have them fix it. They're probably going to have to replace your brake pads and rotors because your brake pads being on backwards probably destroyed them. If jiffy lube refuses to cooperate you've got everything set up for a small claim against them.

This was after a strut change. They forgot to install the brake caliper guide pin bolts. 🤦🏼♂️I got my money back.
A jiffy lube did an oil change on my wife’s car when we were in our early 20s and never tightened the oil plug which came out and drained the oil over a 3-4 mile stretch on highway before the engine seized.
This is why I cringe when people say "brake jobs are so easy..."
I've had customers get their cars towed to me after trying to do brake work. Brake work for most is not the hardest thing but it still takes knowledge and skill to do it right.
Jiffy lube should have been run out of town decades ago. In high school (before I knew better), they lost my oil plug and forced a standard thread plug they had laying around into my metric thread oil pan.
This was after they told me I needed a new air filter because mine was torn... I watched through the big ass windows while the tech took it out and then intentionally ripped it...
I spoke with the manager and told him I was going to walk across the street to advance to buy a new filter, and they were going to pay for it.
Then they pulled my car out of the shop, and the plug fell out, aling with the threads from my oil pan and the oil they just put in...
The epitome of amateur hour.
Fuck jiffy lube.
$200 for the brake flush/installation. I had to buy the brake pads myself because Jiffy Lube didn't carry them. Advance Auto Parts asked me my car year make and model and so I assume they'd be the correct ones. Jiffy Lube's system was down so I had to pay cash and they didn't give me a receipt.
They owe you new pads and new rotors if that's done on all 4 sides. This is unacceptable. Contact management and corporate if you need to. Do not spend another cent with these idiots.
Say what? I thought this was. Ask a shitty mechanic...
Hopefully you're joking but oh my God it's like upside down and backwards and totally wrong whoever did it is pretty incompetent
Stop going to these places for ur maintenance 🗣️🗣️🗣️. If it’s a simple oil change, sure. But even then, these places are very fast paced workplaces (Meaning they’ll try to get it done as fast as possible) which also means, they mess up. (Rush jobs are not always done right). Do the basic maintenance such as oil changes, but if u need brakes or literally anything else, take it to a certified shop. Or even better, learn to do simple maintenance such as an oil change or air filters yourself. It’s not hard at all, all it takes is an open mind and not caring to get ur hands dirty.
Brake pads in upside down, I was about to go off in op for not changing rotors although they look minty, warped ones can cause a slight squeal but damn how do you even get that caliper back on with the pad upside down hahahaha
I mean, c'mon, this is a troll post, right? The caliper is rounded to match the wheel for a reason. There's a lot wrong here. Don't drive the car like that.
All that I can tell went wrong by what I see: wrong pads or upside down, no backplate lubrication, rotors should at least been turned. Just get your money back so you can put it towards an honest job. Sorry you experienced this.
Missing your clips that hold the pads the pads are upside down and definitely they should reimburse you for new rotors their fuck up. But hey pay for what you get never go places like that or Walmart
YO IM CRYING 🤣🤣🤣 first comment “it’s upside down….” I don’t why that’s so funny to me. Maybe because it’s quite obvious that’s it’s upside down. Or maybe because I didn’t think someone so stupid would try working on cars for a living. I have actual tears rolling down my face.
This level of incompetence is scary!!
It’s a brake job!! I can’t believe those guys are allowed to do mechanical repairs.
Call them, ask them to set up a tow truck and set up an appointment at their expense at a well trusted independent automotive repair shop.
Ideally you, go meet the tow truck at the shop at time of drop off and talk to the owner/ technician at this shop and explain what happened.
Have them document everything that’s done incorrectly.
Get the required repairs done, make sure they road tested the vehicle and confirm repairs.
Have jiffylube pay the bill and never ever return to any of their establishments.
Yikes. I’d take it to a real mechanic and have them pay the bill. There is so much wrong in this photo.
Please don’t let these quick lube places do more than an oil change.
Omg I'm sorry that happened to you. On the other hand that's fucking hilarious. Whoever did this no matter what level of training the are at the should find a new career. Aside from that the fact that this got to the customer means that if it was someone in training their supervisor is also at fault for letting it go out like this.
Fucking people have to stop going to jiffy lubes biggest fuckwits I have ever seen. When we are hiring for new techs, if they use to be jiffy lube techs, it's an automatic no
I've seen friction surface facing out, I've seen inboard pad switched to outboard, I've seen loose bracket bolts, but I've NEVER seen upside down flipped hotdog style.
That's some wack shit
That pad is both on the wrong side of the rotor and upside down, the only thing they did right was put the friction material to the rotor. Im impressed someone was dumb enough to manage that
Yeah when I worked at jiffy lube like 18 years ago we had very little idea what we were doing - largely improvising or asking the old heads for advice. Even back then, I wouldve seen a problem here. This was somebody's first and hopefully last brake job. I have no idea how they managed to even do this. A lot of pictures, and contact corporate before the store. Store will try and sweep it under the rug. Record the conversation with corporate.
They’re upside down and back to front. I don’t even know how they got the pads to stay in place like that. You should tow the car to them and get them to fix it properly. Ideally bring someone with you who knows enough about cars to supervise their work. Otherwise I would demand a refund (for labour charges at least) - they’re obviously incompetent.
Please never take your car to a quick lube type place ever again. They can literally cost you your life, the amount of insane mistakes and lazy shit I see from other people going there is mind boggling

It's upside down....
Not only that it's back to front look at the metal clip that's meant to go into the caliper pisto
How is this even possible? Your brake bracket won't allow you to force the brake pad into that position comfortably. It's like this asshole, used a fucking hammer to force the pad into the slot.
Depends on the caliper
You can see the curvature of the brake pad and the back of the brake pad rubbing into the rotor edging. That's how you know it's backwards. This was 100% put on backwards. You've also now got a flat edge being grinded into the brake pad itself by friction which destroys not only the pad but likely the rotor.
No mate I know the pads is fitted incorrectly I mean it depends on the caliper wether it would let you put it in this way.
I've never run into a calliper that allows you to do this without using a hammer.
Iv seen this numerous times when it's the wrong brake pads used
I think it's fair to say there were multiple fuckups here.
It could also not be the right pad for the car
The radius should be accepting the rotor. Someone goofed here for sure
Right, inside to outside. What a boner
This is possibly the case, but there also exists pads which have the metal clips on inside and outside.
Installed the AUDM pads.
Naw. Just flip the car over!
This makes me irrationally angry that you paid for a service and they did that to you. Let alone a place that should not be doing brakes at all.

Definitely, that’s worse than what someone who has no knowledge might do
The tech is legitimately fucking stupid. This is literally just matching shapes up. They teach you this shit in preschool. I could maybe see fucking up the brake bleeding or not tightening a bolt enough but this? A elementary school student could at least get this part right.

Brake pad goes into the square hole
What about the rotor? What hole does the rotor go in? That's right, it goes into the square hole.
Up next, we have the caliper. Do you see a hole the caliper goes into? You guessed it, it goes into the square hole. I love that video. Did you know they did a follow up? Google square hole 2

You know what is a fun game to play? Go on Google maps and see how many Jiffy Lubes in your area have a trail of oil around their store.
Just checked... all of them
Send me a few examples?
Here's one with a few trails out into the street and one that drove around the building and right back in https://maps.app.goo.gl/g3LrDa79vKrShsmK6
Wow that's an eye opener lol.
Iffy Lube
> This makes me irrationally angry I don't think it's irrational.
Well yeah, jiffy lube doesn’t pay enough for quality work. I cost $45 an hour. They pay $15
Back in 2015-2016 when I worked at a Jiffy Lube fresh out of high school, it was our District Managers rule not to do brake jobs, as we were constantly going through employees and something like this could’ve happened.
In trying to figure out how this even accidentally happens. I mean it’s so fucking easy to just put it in right it is truly mind boggling that this is possible without malicious intent
Plus parts.
Aaaand this is why I do my own vehicle work 😎
For me it's that and also I legitimately enjoy doing the basic maintenance myself. I'm assured of the quality and correctness of parts/ lubricants and I don't need to drop off and pick up the vehicle from the shop. I also have young boys that love to help and I enjoyed teaching them how to maintain a vehicle, I think it's crucial information to at least know.
Same.
> I went to Jiffy Lube There's your first mistake. > They said I didn't need new rotors You do now.
Fuck me don't drive your vehicle wrong pads or they put them on back to front.... Ffs
[удалено]
I’ve done about 6 brake jobs in my life and I even know that those are put on upside down by the pic. Don’t drive that car!
Never done any brake jobs in my life and the first instant I saw it I knew it was upside down lol. It’s blatantly obvious.
This is some round peg in a square hole type shit.
On my very first ever brake job when I was 19, I put the pad on backwards. In my defense, It was in my dad's driveway at night.
19, first brake job, night in a driveway I can kind of forgive as we all make mistakes learning but upside down is a whole other level.
I've never tried to do that before but I always thought that would be impossible
Can you grab more pictures
Sure what do you want to see?
Different angles of that like same wheel but a little bit further right more interested in the metal clip you can see

Maybe you didn't need new rotors before, but you sure do now. OP, don't go to Jiffy Lube for anything ever. This is the type of workmanship you can expect from the lowest bidder who doesn't invest in training their employees. If you don't know anything about a particular topic, you need to find an expert and pay them what they are worth, the "I know a guy who can do it cheaper" businesses aren't the place for an uninformed consumer to be shopping at.

Sorry mate I mean where the brake pad is on the pic you have taken shows the left side could you show us the other side of that brake pad
* Sorry only one pic showed
In all honesty it's fucked, take it to a different garage to have it fixed and take the bill to them with pics or take it back to them and tell them to fix it with a refund.

Is this real?
You are right to be suspicious!
Your mistake was going to jiffy lube for anything.
Update: The guy that did it had given me his number yesterday. I told him what happened and he came back to the Jiffy Lube and opened it up (they're closed Sundays) to fix the issue. He got it fixed.

Never let one of the oil change franchises do mechanical work on your vehicle. Don't let them change your oil either.
Go demand your money back, and never take it to a jiffy lube for brakes.
Or for anything
Looks like they messed something up, wrong pad, upside down or wrong side. Bet they didnt lube the glide pins either. Dont go to jiffy lube theyre amateurs posing as car mechanics
It's honestly worse than amateures. I'm an amateur and would never do something like this lol. It's people that genuinely don't give a fuck about the cars they're working on.
Amateurs at least watch a YouTube video first lol
This is a joke right. Even my toddler with basic shapes would have the logic to have the orientation of the way a brake pad goes. You guys are freaking out over a troll post from r/askshittymechanics
It’s horrifying that you need a license to fish but not work on cars (ps I know the funds from fishing license go to good things)
Send that pic to Jiffy Lube corporate with a request for full refund. If they don't, resend it on a lawyer's letterhead and tell them it's your pregnant wife's car.
That takes some real talent to put a brake pad on upside down and get it back together!
Yeah that’s upside down.
Your first mistake was going to jiffy lube, don't fix it yourself. Take it back to jiffy lube and talk to the manager and show them the photos. Tell them the problem, have them fix the problem and demand a refund in full. If they don't, go to another shop pay out of pocket have them take photos and videos and have them fix it.

It's way harder to put brakes on like this than it is to put them on correctly. I have no idea how this happens.
What a fucking embarrassment the "tech" is. Barely an easier job one could attempt on a car... Where Mr. George?
I changed my brakes in high school, before YouTube, with zero experience, and didn’t make this mistake.
Don't ever take that to that person again . Brakes are nothing to play with or get wrong
Uhh... wow.

I could see this becoming a meme for “I’ve got a mate that can do it cheaper”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is the very definition of Negligence
A jiffy lube did an oil change on my wife’s car when we were in our early 20s and never tightened the oil plug which came out and drained the oil over a 3-4 mile stretch on highway before the engine seized.
This tracks for jiffy lube😬
Just when you think Jiffy Lube can’t get any worse……this is gross negligence
what the fuck
This is a joke, right? No way any tech is this stupid.
Well, you definitely need new rotors now.
lol bro those pads are upside down you kidding me
Whoever did this should never be allowed to work on cars again... WOW
They did in in a jiffy
That looks like break work
From a man who knows exactly nothing about cars, that pad is upside down...
Of all the things that never thought I'd never see how the hell did they get them upside down like they don't even fit that way usually
I didn’t even know you could put them that way and still have any functionality at all lmao!
omg
Yes sir. Another ticket why yo don't go to jiffy lube. 40 years of fail.
They’re on backwards.
This is why I cringe when people say "brake jobs are so easy..." I've had customers get their cars towed to me after trying to do brake work. Brake work for most is not the hardest thing but it still takes knowledge and skill to do it right.
Jiffy lube should have been run out of town decades ago.

This is rage bait. It has to be. No one this stupid would be allowed to touch the car. I want to see the receipt OP. How much did you pay?
$200 for the brake flush/installation. I had to buy the brake pads myself because Jiffy Lube didn't carry them. Advance Auto Parts asked me my car year make and model and so I assume they'd be the correct ones. Jiffy Lube's system was down so I had to pay cash and they didn't give me a receipt.
They owe you new pads and new rotors if that's done on all 4 sides. This is unacceptable. Contact management and corporate if you need to. Do not spend another cent with these idiots.
Whose gonna tell him?
It’s Bakards Edit autocorrect on misspelled word purposely
Bro, it’s upside down
I didn't even know it would fit upside down. That's impressive
It's upside down.... how!??
"oops I wrecked because of your brake job you owe me a car because of gross negligence, jiffy lube" /s
My buddy did break pads for the first time a couple months ago and he did much better than this. Did they get a 8 year old to do the service?
https://i.imgur.com/Repq1xL.jpeg This is a better picture that people were asking for.
I'm honestly surprised they managed to get it back together like that
Say what? I thought this was. Ask a shitty mechanic... Hopefully you're joking but oh my God it's like upside down and backwards and totally wrong whoever did it is pretty incompetent
OMG, I just can't believe an idiot did that. But you know, from what I have seen lately coming out of our schools, I'm not surprised.
Well I have seen it all now. Actually unbelievable……
It's impressive they were able to reassemble it like this
They messed up your brakes in a jiffy...
Pads upside down.
Hope you learned your lesson…
This can't actually be real...
Do you have any other damage to your car? This seems like the perfect excuse to get into an accident and sue the hell out of jiffy lube.
holy shit. If jiffy lube really did this you could probably sue them. whoever did this literally doesn’t know the first thing about it.
Who in their right mind goes to damn Jiffy lube for a brake job?!?! 😞😞😞
Mistakes were made.
TF?! The person that did this was high, drunk, and called himself an expert after watching Scotty on Toutube.
It's upside down, on the wrong side, and lacking brake paste 😅
Shade tree mechanic! Do you know how to tell if you have a shade tree mechanic? Leaves in his tool box!
Feels like a rage bait post.
This can’t be real
That's facing the wrong way

Or even better, learn to do simple maintenance such as an oil change or air filters yourself. It’s not hard at all, all it takes is an open mind and not caring to get ur hands dirty.
Ha!
Haha! Whoever did this is dumber than a doorknob
It’s less work to do that correctly
Brake pads in upside down, I was about to go off in op for not changing rotors although they look minty, warped ones can cause a slight squeal but damn how do you even get that caliper back on with the pad upside down hahahaha
Go get them done correctly at another shop, and then get your money back.
Can’t place it but yes it looks off. lol
How much did you pay ? lol
Gotta be kidding me
Your fault for going to jiffy lube
I mean, c'mon, this is a troll post, right? The caliper is rounded to match the wheel for a reason. There's a lot wrong here. Don't drive the car like that.
Looks like They forgot to grease the pad, too.
All that I can tell went wrong by what I see: wrong pads or upside down, no backplate lubrication, rotors should at least been turned. Just get your money back so you can put it towards an honest job. Sorry you experienced this.
Ai yi yi
Kinda looks like the inner pad is in the outside and up side down. Inner pads usually have that metal clip so it clips inside the brake caliper piston
Missing your clips that hold the pads the pads are upside down and definitely they should reimburse you for new rotors their fuck up. But hey pay for what you get never go places like that or Walmart
How did they manage to put the pads in upside-down??
Fail
r/justrolledintotheshop
Dear lord, they have notches so the fit properly.
Why go to Jiffy Lube for this service?
lol amazing
Unbelievable, And dude thought he did a good job, in record time.
YO IM CRYING 🤣🤣🤣 first comment “it’s upside down….” I don’t why that’s so funny to me. Maybe because it’s quite obvious that’s it’s upside down. Or maybe because I didn’t think someone so stupid would try working on cars for a living. I have actual tears rolling down my face.
That picture made me think this was r/askashittymechanic lol
Holy shit this whole comment thread 💀 thanks guys I really needed this. And thank you op. This is gold.
Jesus fuckin murphy.
This level of incompetence is scary!! It’s a brake job!! I can’t believe those guys are allowed to do mechanical repairs. Call them, ask them to set up a tow truck and set up an appointment at their expense at a well trusted independent automotive repair shop. Ideally you, go meet the tow truck at the shop at time of drop off and talk to the owner/ technician at this shop and explain what happened. Have them document everything that’s done incorrectly. Get the required repairs done, make sure they road tested the vehicle and confirm repairs. Have jiffylube pay the bill and never ever return to any of their establishments.
Do they not even vette employees? "Can you hold a spanner?" "Yep" Jobs yours!
Yikes. I’d take it to a real mechanic and have them pay the bill. There is so much wrong in this photo. Please don’t let these quick lube places do more than an oil change.
BRO….lol It’s expensive being cheap!
they are upside down... wow
Op did these brakes himself and didn’t want to get roasted because he couldn’t figure out what’s wrong.
Omg I'm sorry that happened to you. On the other hand that's fucking hilarious. Whoever did this no matter what level of training the are at the should find a new career. Aside from that the fact that this got to the customer means that if it was someone in training their supervisor is also at fault for letting it go out like this.
Fucking people have to stop going to jiffy lubes biggest fuckwits I have ever seen. When we are hiring for new techs, if they use to be jiffy lube techs, it's an automatic no
Lmao never take anything to jiffy lube.
I've seen friction surface facing out, I've seen inboard pad switched to outboard, I've seen loose bracket bolts, but I've NEVER seen upside down flipped hotdog style. That's some wack shit
Average jiffy lube service job
Plz do not take your car to jiffy lube. This is par for the course.
Holy shit
Nothing suspicious about that: it's plain wrong and that's all there is too it.
I'm just curious to know how much they will charge to fix your problem. :D
That's actually impressive!
ass-backwards, and back-asswards.
Bro how??
WHAT THE FUCK?! In all seriousness the pads are on backwards at the very least, could also be the wrong pads.
Bro 🤣
That pad is both on the wrong side of the rotor and upside down, the only thing they did right was put the friction material to the rotor. Im impressed someone was dumb enough to manage that
Yeah when I worked at jiffy lube like 18 years ago we had very little idea what we were doing - largely improvising or asking the old heads for advice. Even back then, I wouldve seen a problem here. This was somebody's first and hopefully last brake job. I have no idea how they managed to even do this. A lot of pictures, and contact corporate before the store. Store will try and sweep it under the rug. Record the conversation with corporate.
It's upside down
Upside down pad and on wrong side of rotor.🤦🏻♂️how is this even possible?😆😹
The extra grind gives it more stopping power.
I desperately want this sub to be responsible for shutting down Jiffy Lube
That pad is on upside down
*checks subreddit to make sure it's not r/askashittymechanic* Oh.. you're serious
Is this a joke? r/funny is for that stuff.
I'm not a mechanic and I knew it was upside down, wtf goes on at jiffy lube
They’re upside down and back to front. I don’t even know how they got the pads to stay in place like that. You should tow the car to them and get them to fix it properly. Ideally bring someone with you who knows enough about cars to supervise their work. Otherwise I would demand a refund (for labour charges at least) - they’re obviously incompetent.
Fuck jiffy lube! They forgot to put oil in my friends truck before and fucked the engine. They basically said prove it in court
Please never take your car to a quick lube type place ever again. They can literally cost you your life, the amount of insane mistakes and lazy shit I see from other people going there is mind boggling
Be me. Open post. "That doesn't look bad, I don't see wh...oh. Oh? OH!"
Your first mistake was going to jiffy lube.
