Giveaway: Jiffy Lube $35 Gift Card to help with Keeping My Ride Alive

14 Comments

I was given the opportunity to run a $35 Gift Card Giveaway sponsored by Jiffy Lube and share with you tips from Jiffy Lube for Winter Driving. I have taken my car to Jiffy Lube many times over the past ten years of ownership. I’ve had really good experiences with Jiffy Lube and so I was happy to provide this giveaway to my readers. Below are some winter driving tips from Jiffy Lube.

Winter Driving Tips

  • Check Your Vitals: Knowing how to check for proper antifreeze and windshield washer fluid levels, battery power and tire pressure – among other key vehicle components – is a must to help conquer cold-weather driving.
  • Fill Up: Keeping your gas tank at least half full will help avoid gas line freeze-up. To conserve gas, run the heater just long enough to defrost.
  • Check Your Oil Grade: Using the recommended grade of oil for the winter months can help save money. Simply using your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended oil grade (found in your owner’s manual) can improve gas mileage by one-to-two percent.
  • Avoid Panic: If your vehicle breaks down or the weather makes it difficult to drive, you could find yourself stuck on the side of the road in freezing temperatures and in need of a vehicle emergency kit. Suggested items to have on hand include a first aid kit, jumper cables, a flashlight, bottled water, extra blankets, gloves and hat, energy bars, duct tape, a can of Fix-a-Flat®, an ice scraper and a hand shovel.

Giveaway – Keep Your Ride Alive With Jiffy Lube

19 Comments

My car is just shy of ten years old. I’ve had a commutes of between half an hour to an hour each way in that time. I’ve taken the car on many road trips as well. the car now has just shy of 145,000 miles to it. The main thing that I’ve done to keep it in good working order is that I’ve changed the oil.

I credit my Dad with “teaching” me how to drive by screaming at mailboxes along Ellis road. I also credit him with instilling in me the importance of taking care of my cars. Check the oil, change the oil. these are two pieces of advice that my Father has always told me about owning a car. Jiffy Lube feels the same way with their “Keeping My Ride Alive” campaign.

And it looks like my Dad wasn’t the only one teaching his kids to take care of their rides.

A recent survey conducted on behalf of Jiffy Lube explored the ties between dads and vehicles and revealed:

  • 87% of Americans have shared fond vehicle-related memories with dad – be it road tripping or learning how to drive
  • When it comes to maintenance, more than 50% say that dad is the individual who taught them the most about taking care of their vehicle

With gas prices soaring it is more important than ever to keep your car in top running shape. Oil Changes are an important part of that but did you know that tire pressure is also important. With a Jiffy Lube Signature service you’re going to get a bunch of extras to help keep your car running smoothly. And I’m going to help you with this month’s signature service at least. I have a $35.00 gift card that you can use to help pay for a Jiffy Lube Signature Service of your own.
