The 1970s
It all started in the 1970s for Jiffy Lube. Ed
Washburn set up the first Jiffy Lube in
Utah. From there is has grown into one of
the largest lube companies in North
America.
The First One Thousand!
Throughout the 1980s Jiffy Lube went from
only a handful of outlets to the one
thousand mark.
Pennzoil
In the early part of the 1990s Jiffy Lube was
acquired by Pennzoil. Pennzoil later went
into partnership with Quaker State.
The Shell Years
Shell took over the running of Jiffy Lube in
2002. But it's not all been easy for them!
Problems
In 2003 it was discovered that Jiffy Lube
routinely charged customers for services
that they didn't use.
More Problems
In 2009 it was also discovered that Jiffy Lube
were carrying out jobs that were harmful to
cars according to the manufacturers
recommendations.
Finally
Shell have managed to cast aside Jiffy
Lube's problems and continued to change
their reputation and open even more
stores. They now have over 2,000
locations in the US.
