I took my car to Jiffy Lube to have the oil changed.  I was under the impression that it would only cost me about $20 to have it changed.  Well, it cost me $40 because they claimed that filters and other “stuff” they needed to change costs more for my kind of car that I drive.

And they tried to convince me that I needed more stuff than I needed – I don’t remember everything they said I needed, but I remember they told me that I needed a new battery because there was a little bit of corrosion around the terminals.  So they tried to sell me a new battery.  Well, I KNEW that I did not need a new battery, it was a good quality battery and it wasn’t very old and I have had no trouble with it at all.  And they told me that I needed a new air filter and that would cost me about $40 for a new air filter.  Well, I have bought air filters for that car from Auto Zone for less than $10.

So, I think that Jiffy Lube is a company trying to rip off its customers and I won’t go there again!
