Consumer Description

I HAD TOOK MY CAR TO GET SERVICE AT JIFFY LUBE WITH A AIR FILTER AND OIL CHANGE. WHEN DRIVING TO SCHOOL I SLOWLY STARTED TO NOTICE A STRANGE SMELL AND DECIDED TO RETURN TO JIFFY LUBE. WELL ON MY WAY THE PROBLEM INCREASED AND SMOKE AND FLAMES STARTED APPEARING, THAT'S WHEN I QUICKLY GOT OUT THE CAR AND CALLED 911. I HAD ONLY MADE IT A BLOCK AWAY FROM REACHING JIFFY LUBE WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED . *TR
