"Ogden, Utah, Site of Original Jiffy Lube Goes Up in Flames". ^ "2011 Top Franchise Times TOP 200™ Franchise Systems" (PDF).Archived from the original (PDF) on 30 January 2012. ^ "2011 TOPS in the INDUSTRY RANKINGS A publication of National Oil & Lube News" (PDF).^ "Spectrio Case Study: Jiffy Lube International, Inc".The station reported that not only had fraudulent practices again been detected at the majority of investigated Southern California Jiffy Lube stores, but the current fraud was worse than that found in the original investigation. In May 2013, Los Angeles Jiffy Lube locations were again the subject of a KNBC investigation. These procedures included engine flushes and fuel injection cleaning which can cause engine and fuel injection problems. In 2009, Jiffy Lube was found to be performing repair procedures on vehicles that were recommended against by the manufacturer due to the potential to cause engine damage. At the end of the investigation, Jiffy Lube installed cameras in their stores to allow customers to observe repairs. After the investigation aired, Jiffy Lube claimed to perform sweeping changes to their training program to prevent this, though among the training tactics, was having workers recognize the tactics of an investigative reporter and evade further scrutiny. During the investigation, five out of nine Jiffy Lube locations charged undercover reporters for work that was not performed. In 2003, Jiffy Lube was the focus of a KNBC investigative report that alleged that Jiffy Lube was charging customers for services not performed. The OCS program moves away from the old model of changing oil every 3,000 miles and provides a schedule that is unique for each driver. The new program allows Jiffy Lube customers to choose how often they have their oil changed based on a number of variables including vehicle manufacturer recommendations, driving habits, and road conditions. In June 2011, Jiffy Lube introduced a new program called Oil Change Schedule (OCS). Pennzoil-Quaker State was ultimately purchased by Shell Oil Company in 2002. įollowing the merger of Pennzoil and Quaker State in 1998, the 581 Q Lube stores were merged into the Jiffy Lube brand, then possessing 1,541 stores, with overlapping operations being closed down. In 1991, it became a subsidiary of Pennzoil. Jiffy Lube went public in 1987, and had opened over 1,019 franchises and company stores by 1989. It is this year which Jiffy Lube generally states as its founding date with Hindman as its founder. James Hindman, a football coach at Western Maryland College, bought out Washburn's seven franchises and established Jiffy Lube International, relocating the headquarters to Baltimore, Maryland. Over the following years, Washburn franchised a number of Jiffy Lube stores within Utah. The first Jiffy Lube store was established on 36th Street in Ogden, Utah by Edwin H. Also, Jiffy Lube was ranked number 15 in Entrepreneur Magazine 's 2012 Franchise 500 and number 73 on Franchise Times ' 2011 Top 200 Franchise Chains by Worldwide Sales. The company was ranked first on National Oil and Lube News 2011 Tops in the Fast Lubes Industry Rankings.
#JIFFY LUBE ALBUQUERQUE FULL#
They were right on! Of course, they gave me a full list of what my car needs which is always helpful.There are about 2,000 Jiffy Lube franchises in North America, all of them independently owned by 252 operators, with about 24 million customers each year as of 2002. I was on my lunch break so I asked "how long" when I got there and they indicated 30 mins. In Farmington, NM are awesome! Know their cars, great service, and very friendly. Noticed alot of female service employee and appear very knowledgeable and attentive. I took that Jiffy Lube coupon and they would NOT take it, then I sent Groupon a note about the experience.then Groupon deleted it from my account.Groupon should refund my money.I think Groupon is a cheating scheme.You also took my money for another product that I never received.Groupon SUCKS!!! Kathleen 6 years ago For advertising Jiffylube oil change that is only good in a city that is 200 miles away Janis 6 years ago This is really for Groupon and Jiffylube. They missed the power steering fluid level. Good price, but they added an extra quart of oil to the bill, so I had to pay more. I tried to contact store manager and requested a call back never got one. They sprayed it and wiped it but it was still dirty. I was also upset they didn't try to clean my windows. Also they said not to use Groupon again in the future is cheaper to just go to the store and they can use an in- house coupon.
