Does the Jiffy Lubetransmission flush hurt morethan it helps? |
|
Jiffy Lube tries to push the
transmission flush on
motorists from time to time.
But I've heard that it can
harm a transmission rather
than help prolong the
transmission's life. Is it
harmful or is it a good idea
to flush the transmission? |
 |
If done at the right times
then yes it can help. That is
if they also change the filter
at the same time, which most
won't do.
If the tranny has high mileage
then don't bother with it
unless you want to gamble on
having to replace or rebuild
your tranny. For flushing an
older neglected tranny will
clean out all of the old fluid
which can be good, but in this
case it allows the clean fluid
detergents to loosen up any
buildup in the tranny and
plugs up the internal pluming
and brings the tranny to a
halt, which is not good.
Most of these shops are
looking for an easy quick
dollar and won't replace your
tranny if it goes bad from the
flush. |

About how much does a jiffylube oil change cost? And howdoes it work? |
|
I was wondering aprox. how
much a regular oil change
(with no other extras) would
cost at jiffy lube for a 1998
Honda Accord. Also, I am new
to being a car owner, so how
exactly does it work? Do you
have to make an appointment
ahead of time, or can you just
show up? |
|
You'll spend anywhere from $25
to $35 for an oil change on
your make and model. If you're
looking to save a buck watch
for coupons in the paper.
They'll check your tires and
fluid levels for you and
sometimes clean the
windshield. Watch out for the
up-sale, i.e. transmission
service, air filter, unless
you know your car needs some
maintenance.
Tip: To avoid being sold a
product or service you don't
need for your car, take the
time to buy a book and read a
little. A Chilton's manual
will set you back about $20
and will give you a schedule
of maintenance for your
vehicle. You can also buy a
book such as Auto Upkeep:
Basic Car Care that will give
you some handy advice on
owning and maintaining an
automobile. In a nutshell, arm
yourself with knowledge and
you'll side-step many of the
mistakes most people make when
maintaining a car.
Kudos for asking this basic
question though, it shows
you're on the right path to
being a smart consumer and car
owner. |

Jiffy Lube? |
|
Does anyone know what a
starting mechanic who changes
oil at Jiffy Lube make? My
husband is considering working
there and wants to barter with
the salary....thanks. We live
in New Jersey if that helps. |

Will probably only offer min
they can for a staring
position, as a min. of
training is involved. Just
need to shop around for a good
position, as their are lots of
entry level job applicants,
this is why education is
important so you can bring
something to the job besides a
warm body. |
