About how much does a jiffy lube oil change cost? And how does 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?About how much does a jiffy lube oil change cost? And how does it work?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.About how much does a jiffy lube oil change cost? And how does it work?Wow!
