I have a 96' Ford Escort and need new air filters. How much will it cost at Jiffy Lube, and how much cheaper would it be to just go and get the parts and do it myself?
you could do the air filter yourself easily and save some bucks. I looked up the air filter for you at autzone and its 5.99. They will probally charge you 15..the fuel filter you might want to have them do.
PIOJOS!!! , if it wasnt for that rat she probably would've not got the cabin filter..
Does Jiffy Lube scam it's customers? Do they try and sell people air filters they do not need? Have you been scammed by Jiffy Lube?
guys want me to change it every time they change my oil.
They are probably trying to increase their work and PAYy.
If you only drive on the highways, it will last MUCH longer than an oil change.
IF you leave on a dusty road, it will have to be changed more often than if you drive on the highway only.
Wilber Winkle, an idiosyncratic nebbish with a peculiar focus on the odd and unlikely fact, has corresponded for years with America's major corporations. Fuelling his complaints and comments is a single overriding premise: that the rights of consumers -- his rights -- are under siege, and he must do what he can to defend them. Employing the exasperating curiosity of a six year old and far-fetched notions which only he can devise, Wilber will have readers laughing aloud, trying to read their favourite Wilber letters to friends and relatives without cracking up. A devilishly clever book!

Sitting in Jiffy Lube getting my oil changed, had to replace a air filter also
Jiffy Lube is my hands-down unfavorite chore. I dread the air filter/oil quality upsells and my inability to navigate or interpret same.Repair shop that messed it up should pay up
RAY: The most embarrassing places are the ones where his wife ends up finding them!
TOM: Usually a rag left in the air-filter housing won’t do any damage. But I’m guessing that in your case, it ended up getting sucked into the air intake and substantially blocking it. That caused your engine to run rich (i.e., too much fuel, not enough air).
RAY: And that would instantly cause the sensors to start working to correct the situation. My guess is that the sensors got overworked and overheated, and that’s what caused them to fail, turning on the check-engine light.
TOM: So what else might fail? Well, if the sensors were unable to keep up, and the car was allowed to run rich for an extended period of time, the catalytic converters might be damaged.
RAY: Those can run into serious money. But the good news is that your catalytic converters are warranted, by federal law, for eight years or 80,000 miles. And if you bought the car in a state that has adopted California emissions standards, your converters are covered for 15 years or 150,000 miles! So it’s more likely to be your dealer’s problem than yours if they fail prematurely. I’d let the dealer decide whether to address the converter issue with Jiffy Lube.

By Tom & Ray Magliozzi / Car Talk My “check engine” light illuminated a few weeks after a Jiffy Lube oil change. I took my 2008 Subaru Impreza in to the dealer, and they pulled a shop rag out of my car (it was blocking two-thirds of the air intake).Wicked Local - Jan 01, 1970
