Shift Dad's Gift into High Gear This Father's Day

Many of us have fond memories of automotive advice our Dads offered while we were growing up. My own Dad taught me to drive his giant Ford F-250 pickup truck by taking me to a parking lot and making me perform three-point turns, reverse through poles, and negotiate over cinderblocks, saying "If you can do it in this truck, you can do it in  "My Dad taught me everything about cars before I could step foot behind the wheel," said Beth McGlynn from Boston. "I learned how to change the oil, fill the wiper fluid, and also how to change a tire! The advice he gave me still comes in handy 15 years later." Whitney Foote from Vermont had a similar experience. "Dad faithfully changed my oil every 3,000 miles and I can still remember the first time he showed me how," Foote said. "He emerged from underneath the car with oil all over his face! I'll never forget that and never forget to get my oil changed."

Jiffy Lube has suggested an easy way to repay your father for his great automotive tutelage:  Why not give him a car maintenance gift card? He can take a break from doing his own preventive maintenance and let the professionals at Jiffy Lube handle that for him this year!

Customers can stop by any local Jiffy Lube  across the United States or can purchase a card online  with any major debit or credit card. The Jiffy Lube Gift Card can be loaded for any amount up to $300 and can be used toward any type of maintenance service, including oil changes, tire rotation, engine air filter replacement, radiator antifreeze/coolant replacement, automatic transmission fluid exchange, fuel filter, and even cabin air filter replacements. Gift cards purchased online ship within three to five business days and have no expiration date.

"The Jiffy Lube Gift Card is an unexpected gift for Dad that provides more than just convenience," said Lisa Carlson, global director of marketing for Jiffy Lube International. "It's a gift of safe driving and peace of mind; something that Dad will appreciate this Father's Day."
