I have reviewed the response offer made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below Regards, [redacted] I received a oil change on November and jiffy lube just stated that they filled the the front differential up witch they didn’t and I have the paperwork to prove it if I can put it up here I will show u but if they filled it up on the 21st of November how was it empty or very low on the 30th of November and there wasn’t any leaks and on the first comment that jiffy responded back to they said that their mechanic at [redacted] said that it was it had fluid in the front differential it was just low and that I had problems with my front differential before I came to jiffy lube I talked to their mechanic and I recorded the conversation and he clearly said that he did not tell jiffy lube that and that he didn’t even pull my truck in the shop and check it so he wouldn’t have told jiffy that because all he did was drive it and from the sound he heard he knew it was the front differential now they saying they did fill my front differential up and they have no paperwork stating that what I don’t understand is why they don’t own up to their mistake and stop coming with different lies and it is jiffy policy to inform the customer that they should get their car or truck service after a certain amount of mile but of course they going to lie and say that they did inform that I needed to get my differential service but my question to you is can I use these comments they post in court so the courts can see how they changed their story and lied on the mechanic?

On 8/10/a Mercedes S420, the vehicle arrived at our service center, with a very noticeable ticking in the engineThe noise was evident enough that the customer questioned if we knew what was causing itShe was told that it’s a very common problem on the S class Mercedes, because they use plastic oil tubes inside the engine that more times than often break off or become pluggedWhen that happens you typically experience ticking in the engine, low oil pressure and possible oil consumptionShe took it as knowledge proceeded to have us change her oil and noted on the invoice that the check engine light was on, as well as the vehicle was making an unusual engine noise prior to serviceOn 10/17/I spoke to Mrs [redacted] in person and she told me that her mechanic diagnosed her vehicle as having a collapsed lifterShe told me that it was our fault because her mechanic said we didn’t install the gasket on the filter properlyI told Mrs [redacted] that would lead to massive oil loss in a matter of minutes and did she know how much oil she had lostI asked her if she knew what a collapsed lifter meantShe stated that she had limited knowledge so I asked could I speak to the actual mechanicShe agreed that would be more productive for everyone so I gave her my business card to deliverMaybe an hour later I received a phone call from her mechanicHe seemed very knowledgeable and told me that indeed he felt like the lifter had collapsedWhen asked how does a lifter collapse he replied from being starved of oil to the top of the motorI asked why the oil filter was changed and he said to ensure that it was not restricting oil flow in the engineI asked how much oil was added and he stated quart with the filter changeWe agreed that the engine had oil in it and that the total capacity was I told [redacted] that the vehicle was documented as having an unusual engine noise and a check engine light on prior to serviceI asked if the noise got worse and the oil pressure began to drop and was ignored would it cause the lifter to collapse, and he stated yes He agreed that was very possible and stated that there was never any mention of a check engine light or an engine noise from the customerIn all our research I found that a collapsed lifter stems from lack of oil in the top of the motor [redacted] agrees that the engine had oil in it just that it was not reaching the top of the engineWe felt the collapsed lifter was not related to our serviceThe vehicle had a preexisting condition that became worse and was ignored by the customer, and as a result the lifter collapsedWe agree that the vehicle lost oil pressure and we agree that the noise most likely became louderHowever her problem had started prior to our servicing of her vehicleunfortunately the customer wants to blame us for this and we simply did not cause this problem

We have contacted the customer and apologized for their problems She informed us that she had taken her car to her mechanic to have the air filter intake hose repairedWe again apologized for the damage to her car that Jiffy Lube may or may not have caused but certainly handled poorly We told the customer that Jiffy Lube will pay for the air filter housing intake hose repair that was causing her problemsWe also agreed to the refund of the oil change of $she had requested in her complaint

We are a bit confused by this complaint to the Revdex.com. We have already agreed to repair the vehicles oil pan and the son told that we had inspected the car and it is safe to drive and when it was time for the next oil change to let us know and we would replace the oil pan for the customer. It is my understanding that he was fine with this arrangement. I have recontacted the DM about this complaint and he is going to again reach out to the son close the loop. However when they want this repaired we are ready to move forward

To whom it may concern,This vehicle was brought to our store for a brake inspection. Upon reviewing the vehicle we noticed that the front driver coil spring had snapped and spun on itself to the point the broken part of the spring cut the brake line. We also noticed that the strut
had collapsed due spring being broken. I informed the customer of the price and that the parts were only available to be purchased through the Mercedes dealership which would take a few days to get them (parts) into the store. Once the original parts were ordered and our store received the parts we noticed that the coil spring was not the correct one for our application. I called and left a message with the customer informing that the parts would have to be re-ordered which would take another few days. after the parts were received by us and installed on the vehicle we took said vehicle for a test run to ensure that the work we did was operating correctly. We contacted the customer via voicemail to inform them that the car was finished and I told him that I was discounting the bill a large amount for the wait time, which was out of our hands, was so long. The customer came and picked up the vehicle and paid the invoice. The customer returned stating that he was hearing a clunking sound in the rear of the vehicle and that the windows were not operational. Both of these issues were not affiliated with the work we originally discussed. the customer left the vehicle with our store to check the issues they discussed. We left a message with customer stating what the other issues were and what costs would be affiliated with the work. The customer showed up to the business the next day very upset because the car wasn't done and asked for his keys to get something out of the vehicle. The customer then drove off the lot and that's the end of our conversation. To be noted was that the customer was using vulgar and obscene language with my assistant manager over the phone before showing up to retrieve the vehicle.Respectfully,

done prior to coming to us for serviceThe customer brought back to us and we topped off the fluidI also told the customer after being employed with our company for over years that we have an extensive training program that does go over all the processes to make sure customer know the mileage intervals on making sure fluids are changed to maintain there vehicleI also ask the customer if he ever replaced his fluid on his differential and he stated noI feel this is customer neglect on not following service intervals changing fluid and itemsI have told the customer that our company will not pay for repairs and offered to have the court system decide or even mediation

On 8/10/a Mercedes S420, the vehicle arrived at our service center, with a very noticeable ticking in the engineThe noise was evident enough that the customer questioned if we knew what was causing itShe was told that it’s a very common problem on the S class Mercedes, because they use
plastic oil tubes inside the engine that more times than often break off or become pluggedWhen that happens you typically experience ticking in the engine, low oil pressure and possible oil consumptionShe took it as knowledge proceeded to have us change her oil and noted on the invoice that the check engine light was on, as well as the vehicle was making an unusual engine noise prior to service. On 10/17/I spoke to Mrs*** in person and she told me that her mechanic diagnosed her vehicle as having a collapsed lifterShe told me that it was our fault because her mechanic said we didn’t install the gasket on the filter properlyI told Mrs*** that would lead to massive oil loss in a matter of minutes and did she know how much oil she had lostI asked her if she knew what a collapsed lifter meantShe stated that she had limited knowledge so I asked could I speak to the actual mechanicShe agreed that would be more productive for everyone so I gave her my business card to deliver. Maybe an hour later I received a phone call from her mechanicHe seemed very knowledgeable and told me that indeed he felt like the lifter had collapsedWhen asked how does a lifter collapse he replied from being starved of oil to the top of the motorI asked why the oil filter was changed and he said to ensure that it was not restricting oil flow in the engineI asked how much oil was added and he stated quart with the filter changeWe agreed that the engine had oil in it and that the total capacity was I told *** that the vehicle was documented as having an unusual engine noise and a check engine light on prior to serviceI asked if the noise got worse and the oil pressure began to drop and was ignored would it cause the lifter to collapse, and he stated yes. He agreed that was very possible and stated that there was never any mention of a check engine light or an engine noise from the customer. In all our research I found that a collapsed lifter stems from lack of oil in the top of the motor*** agrees that the engine had oil in it just that it was not reaching the top of the engineWe felt the collapsed lifter was not related to our serviceThe vehicle had a preexisting condition that became worse and was ignored by the customer, and as a result the lifter collapsedWe agree that the vehicle lost oil pressure and we agree that the noise most likely became louderHowever her problem had started prior to our servicing of her vehicleunfortunately the customer wants to blame us for this and we simply did not cause this problem.

I have spoken to this gentlemen about his friends vehicleand its maintenance and explained several misconceptions. I also apologize if we failed to properly explain the service or answer any of their questions.It is a Toyota Camry where the manufactures recommends oil changes ever
5,miles and the maintenance oil light in the vehicle will come on after 5,to remind you that it is due.The customer came to us and asked for a oil change and it was time according to the vehicle, the manufacturer and the customer asked us to do it, so we changed the oil.This vehicle also was using a very good synthetic oil and because of this the gentlemen thought the oil change should be ***e every 10,miles. This is a very common miss understanding.Toyota does not recommend longer driving distances for better oils and neither do the oil makers. Both recommend on the set millage intervals, set by the manufacturer, as do we.As far as selling things to the customer she did not need, it is part of our advertised service we will inspect the air filtration system of a vehicle and let the customer see how it is doing. Yes we can sell them a new air filter when they want but that is up to the customer and because we show it to them should not be mistaken for our saying they need be replaced.. In fact this is one area that is very subjective and the manufacture recommends them "As needed" and we prefer the customer is the one who makes that decision.This gentlemen also suggested we should have offered this lady a coupon or discount on a future visit when he called, of which I have agreed to do, not because I think we did something wrong but because he was unhappy and we want them to return
