Oil change service near Norcross, GA

I was at Jiffy Lube on Satellite Boulevard in Duluth. GA to do a normal oil change and after about 20 minutes into the oil change, I was called to come under the bay to see something. Went in and the man working on my car told me the nut that locks on the pan would leak oil after they finish changing the oil. Apparently he broke it while unscrewing it. I informed him that my car has never leaked oil and I'm wondering why he did this. He told me "well you can fill out a claims form" if you feel badly about this. Filled out a claims form and my horrors began. First they did not fax in my claims form until I called corporate office. Emailed the customer care supervisor pictures of oil leak. Did not get an acknowledgement. They sent one of their staff Chuck who is on their telephone system to give me a call. The horror continued. Chuck was so rude and antagonistic and he clearly was acting out a script designed for Jiffy Lube not taking responsibility for their staff action. Told me the previous company who I have been using since my car was about 10k miles without issues was responsible for the broken nut. My argument is that if their staff knew the nut was hard to remove, he should have called my attention to it before proceeding further instead he called my attention after he got it broken. Now I am stuck between legal action or cough out money that I never planned on spending because I went for a cheaper Groupon powered Oil change.

I appreciated the friendliness of the employees of this location; however, I had a horrible experience and would not recommend this location to anyone. I went in to get my emissions test, but my check engine light was on - so I was not going to pass. I knew there were issues with my truck because I had recently taken it to Nissan for diagnostics. I showed the tech at Express Oil Change what work needed to be done - it totalled $450.00. He mentioned that they could do it for a better price. They were able to get the check engine light off long enough to pass the test, but it came right back on. At the end of the day, I had a bill of 1056.54. but the light was still on. They told me to bring it back later. Long story short - multiple visits later, I'm charged 1,848.04 for what Nissan said they would do for $450.00. I've learned my lesson. DO NOT GO TO THIS SHOP. They're friendly, but don't have the best practices.

Gabe and his team there have been a breath of fresh air to work with. These guys are highly skilled and knowledge mechanics who are able to service virtually any automobile there is. We at Merlin Auto Group are very selective about who we trust with the vehicles offer for sale. It did not take very long for us to recognize the value of having a relationship with J&L. Our experiences thus far have been positive 100% of the time which solidifies the truth that servicing cars does not have to be the challenging process that it can quickly become in the wrong hands.

I have never left a review for anything but I just had the worst customer service experience which included waiting 2 days to be contacted, being accused of stealing, being called a piece of shit and told to fuck off. This was an experience that other people need to know about. My check engine light came on in my 2007 BMW X3 so I brought it into Carma Motorsports since it’s down the street from where I live. I dropped off my car on Sunday night and left the key in the drop box. I called on Monday morning at 8:30 to confirm with them that they received it. I was told by Jennifer that I would receive a phone call after they had looked at it. After never receiving a phone call and trying to call all day, I stopped there at 6 and was told that the phone and internet was down and that was why I never received a phone call. They told me the phones and internet should be fixed in the morning and I would receive a call then, but that they only things that need to be fixed are the ignition coil and air mass meter boot. On Tuesday, I finally received a phone call and received a quote for $1,600 to fix the ignition coil, air mass meter boot, and that I also needed all new front and rear brakes. After waiting over 36 hours to hear anything, this was not good news so I called around to get a few other opinions since that seemed pretty steep. I ended up finding somewhere else that could do all of the same work for almost $500 less. I called Carma and let them know of the lower quote and asked if they could match it. After being told no, I said I was going elsewhere and that I would pick up my car at 6. After arriving, I was told that I still owed $120 for the diagnostic check to find out what was wrong. I informed Adam and another man with a shaved head (unfortunately I didn’t get his name) that I was not going to pay that since it took them so long to get back to me with anything and that what they quoted wasn’t even close to a good price compared to what I was able to find elsewhere, and because no one had told me about the cost of a diagnostic check when I said I was picking up the car. I asked if they had an issue with that and the bald man told me did have an issue because it’s stealing. I responded by saying that I understand that their time is valuable but so is mine. I will never be going back and I’m going to make an effort to make sure other people don’t either.

The technicians at Athens are very knowledgeable and informative, I have been going there for the past 4 years and have taken all of my vehicles to Nick and his team. I have never left out of there feeling like I was not treated like family and I have always had positive results post maintenance visits. Thanks guys you rock!!!

Michael was a huge help. Just from our initial conversation, I knew I could trust him. He ended up saving me from a major repair cost and returning my vehicle promptly. I will take my truck back here from now on and will recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone. -Corey Ray

Kudos to Ed for excellent service! Lextech didn't handle the type of repair I needed but Ed was well versed in the nature of my issue and gave me an A+ referral that led me to saving a couple thousand dollars! The last thing I wanted to do was call the dealership and thanks to him I didn't have to. He was super patient, even providing me with the full address and number of the shop. You can best believe the next time I need anything for my Lexus, I'll be making an appt here! Looking forward to meeting Ed in person. D D. Atlanta, GA

Took my car to have evaluated. I was told that my engine was bad and needed to be replaced. He said he would be swapp my engine out with a engine close to the same miles I had on my car. So I agreed to have my engine changed. This would have been a good time to tell me that it's only 30 days on a used engine. but he did not disclose this information to me. He went and got the car emissions done and told me he had been driving my car and it was running fine. Two days later and paying 4081.00 I pick my car up it seemed fine. I wasn't able to test drive the car because of Covid the DMV was closed. so it was close to three months until I was able to get a tag for car. I finally got the tag and drove the car, I noticed a pull from the car when I put the car in drive, it snatched into gear. I took car back and the mechanic RL adjusted something on the engine so that took care of the problelm. Still didn't informe me about 30 days for a used engine. I drove the car for two weeks and the car is surging and smoking from the tail pipe. I call R.L to tell him what's going on. He says bring the car in. I had a video of what was going on with the car. I informed R.L I got advice from another mechanic and was told this is because coolant is getting into the engine which point to a bad head gasket, and the surging could possibly be the air intake control valve and the problem was engine related Which R.L agreed that it probably was the IAC and he would have fixed it "IF" he knew it was bad He then suggested put 20 w 50 in the engine. I called another mechanic and told them what my car was doing and what advice I was giving from RL. And was told to ask for the paper work on the engine. I have not received no information on the engine he installed in my car to this very day. And putting 20 w 50 was not going to solve my issue. So I take the car back because of the surging and mind you it's still smoking. I also was getting water in the trunk so R.L looked into these issued and charged me 80.00.I was told by R.L that my Power steering rack need replacing and he would fix my IAC for aprox 1100.00 dollars. This has been the worst experince with this shop. My car is sitting unable to drive. I gave him ONE star because a rating was required. He deserves 0 stars. We'll end up in court I'm sure.
