On may 18th 2009 I took my Van to Jiffy Lube in Apple Valley Mn store # 1344 Owned by Heartland Automotive Group Omaha NE to get an oil change. Like they do at most oil change places the worker comes in and tries to sell you add ons. I was told by the manager Devin Jungbauer that It was recommended I get a transmission flush. Seeing as I had never had one before, and I had 87,000 miles on the Van I agreed to let them do it. After about 30 minutes they finished. I payed my bill and was on my way. Within 2000 miles of getting my Transmission flushed by Jiffy Lube in Apple Valley Mn my transmission began to slip. Whenever I would slow down to come to a stop sign or stop light the van would start shaking violently. Then when I would take off from a stop sign or stop light my van had no power. After getting home that day, Thank God I made it. I started doing some research on the internet about transmissions and began to see the horror stories of other people who had had transmission failure after getting them flushed. I called up an auto mechanic friend of mine and he explained that he had flushed 3 transmissions once and within 2 months all 3 transmissions had failed and needed to be replaced. I also talked with 2 other people that had experienced the same fate with their cars. I immediately called the Jiffy Lube in Apple Valley and asked to speak to the manager Devin Jungbaur. He contacted his boss District manager Mick Fredrickson. Mick came out started the van checked the fluid level climbed under the van and told me I needed to have the Tranny inspected by a certified mechanic. I would have to pay for the tow and inspection, and if it was determined that they were at fault they would fix it. After calling several transmission repair companies and asking them how they could determine if Jiffy Lube was at fault. They told me it would be impossible to determine that. I think Mick knew that and that's why he offered to do it. Now I'm sitting here trying to figure out how I will get my van back up and running. I run my own business and my van is my lifeline. Without it I can't work. Jiffy Lube refuses to accept blame so I am now stuck paying the bill to get it repaired.
What a crappy way to do business, but that seems to be the norm with this company. Take my advice and stay as far away as you can from JIFFY LUBE
