Oil Change Showdown: Valvoline vs Jiffy Lube

I ran an impromptu head to head Battle for the My World Oil Change Championship Belt.

Both of my cars needed oil changes today, so I thought why not have some fun with this chore. 

Onto the fight....

Valvoline in the Blue trunks 

             VS 

JiffyLube in the Red trunks.

Service:  Valvoline took 32 minutes,but they did apologize for the delay.  Jiffylube had me done in 22.  Valvoline I sat in my car, keys out. (Podcast through the phone speakers, ugh)   Jiffylube had a waiting room with a HDTV.  

RED win Round 1

Staff:  The JiffyLube's counter guy came through; smooth, he had the expected amount of up sell but nothing more, and was quick with the computer.  The guy who escorted me to the waiting room was attempting concierge level service, loved the effort but it was awkward.  Valvoline had 3 different people at my window during my car imprisonment. They all dislike eye contact.  I was busy (read: facebooking) on my phone and one kind fellow thought his job included saving me from my phone addiction.  I need to know what Bobert's thoughts on the election are, leave me alone!!!!

RED wins Round 2

Price:  Valvoline for a semi-synthetic SUV was $65, Jiffylube's conventional was $50.

Round 3 is a DRAW
(Don't make the same mistake I did, go to their website and get a coupon.  #YourWelcome)


Sticker:  The Valvoline had the standard date printed mileage and date, Jiffylube's was hand scribbled.  Jiffylube...you can do better.

Blue wins Round 4

All three judges agree, 2 rounds for Red and 1 round for Blue, the new oil change champion of my world:  JiffyLube!
