Oil Change Coupon Can Help You Prepare Your Car for the Heat!



Jiffy Lube invites you to take a little extra time to prepare your car for the hot weather we are experiencing here in New Jersey and all along the eastern part of the United States. The National Weather Service is currently issuing an Excessive Heat Warning for the Philadelphia Metro area.

Auto repair shops typically see more work as temperatures climb and at Jiffy Lube we offer many services that will protect you and your car.

First and foremost, check your AC. WE offer a wide variety of  air conditioning services that could make a big difference to you during the heat wave. It’s very important that your AC cap and filters and cabin filters be maintained. If you don’t have a good filter, you will have air flow problems and won’t be able to feel the AC blowing.

Hot weather can create lots of problems for your car’s tires as well.  Proper tire pressure in hot weather can make the difference between getting there, and getting a flat. The air in your tires expands in warm weather creating higher air pressure.  This can potentially cause a tire to blow, a very dangerous situation. At Jiffy Lube we check your tire pressure for free with every Jiffy Lube Signature Service® Oil Change.

Watch the temperature gage carefully in hot weather too. If you see a spike in temperature, pull over and wait for the temperature to go down.


High engine temperatures can cause an engine block to crack, destroying your engine. You might have a thermostat issue or a coolant leak. Theses are relatively simple problems to fix if you don't drive with high engine temperatures until it is too late. Our Jiffy Lube Signature Service® Oil Change also includes checking and filling your Antifreeze/coolant reservoir levels and visually inspecting serpentine belts.

If you have an older car it is important to keep an eye on belts and hoses that may be showing their age.  Also look for any leaks in the driveway, as they could lead towards possible engine damage if not looked at in time.

With the Excessive Temperature Warning in effect the last thing you need is car trouble. Use this Jiffy Lube Signature Service® Oil Change Coupon to make things a little easier.
