Jiffy Lube for Differential Fluid exchange

Yes or No on using Jiffy Lube for differential fluid exchange?

 

Honestly I’d do it yourself if you have the means to. There’s lots of info on here and YouTube . It’s not difficult , and you’ll have , I think , a little more peace of mind.
Just my 2 cents

 

I guess it depends on the specific Jiffy Lube, but I am very particular about who I will let work on my truck. I prefer the smaller independent shops. I still research the crap out of them to be sure. I just don't trust the quick places in general. I've heard too many horror stories. I would check lots of reviews on the specific location and go from there.

 

At what price?
Some guys will be along just to bash Jiffy.
Some guys will bash you for not wanting to do it yourself.

Give use the quoted price, we can help you more once we know the price.

 

No.

 

Yes.

In case you're curious as to what it takes to DIY:

Front diff / T-case
Rear diff

Thank you, bookmarked.

 

I wouldn’t use Jiffy Lube for any services.

 

I recently did mine, not a bad job, with minimal automotive skills you’ll have no problem, you’ll save a lot of money and know that it’ll be done correctly

 

NO!

 

On an 18 year-old truck, the shop needs to be equipped to deal with the situation if the drain plug with the shallow 24mm wrench flats is rounded off, with a torch, welder, etc. May be better to go to an indie shop that does general auto repair.

 

Pass

 

Jiffy Lubes have a proven track record of screwing things up... either do it yourself or have it done by a real mechanic.

 

I’m pretty sure even at jiffy lube they teach them to open the fill plug first.

Clearly, OP is asking because he doesn’t wanna do it himself. I’d have no trouble using a quick lube place as long as they let me watch (no puns intended).

Edit: most will even let you bring your own lube and only charge you labor.

 

I say No but it comes down to you.

I was instructed to use them for the company Truck .

First time they ruined the engine oil drain plug .

I would use an independent shop that knows Toyota`s

Good luck

 

They change oil all day. I think they would do a good job.

 

Hopefully they don't pump 5w-30 into your rear differential.

 

But think about how much more efficiently it will spin! Got to be worth 0.1/mpg. But what about 0w20....

 

My biggest worry getting it done there would be they might remove the drain plugs first, before they first verified the fill plugs could be removed, or that they would strip/round out the front diff allen key hole plugs trying to remove them. (even if I had mentioned these things to them prior)
