A few weeks back I took my car into Jiffy Lube to get the oil changed. Shortly after the oil change, my car started emitting a weird smell. The tech at Jiffy Lube suggested it was the cabin filter, but I knew that wasn't the problem. It smelled like something was burning. The car didn't have the smell before I took it in, but coincidentally had the smell within one day of having the car serviced at Jiffy Lube.
Every time I stopped at a light, or pulled the car into my garage I could smell it. The car wasn't smoking or burning oil, so it was hard for me to troubleshoot the problem.
I decided to take my car into J-Mac Complete Car Care service to get a second opinion. Upon close inspection, the mechanic determined that the smell was caused by leaking transmission fluid. Apparently the techs at Jiffy Lube didn't fasten the cap tightly enough when they topped it off.
The guys at J-Mac tightened the cap, washed off the fluid, and fixed the problem. It only took them a few minutes to find and fix the problem. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service and will consider taking my car here for future maintenance.
Pros: Honest, affordable, free drinks in the waiting room, wi-fi
Cons: Parking lot could be a little bigger
