Keeping My Ride Alive Giveaway

According to a recent survey conducted by Jiffy Lube International, more than half of U.S. drivers hope to have more than 150,000 miles on their vehicle before replacing it with a new one, and more than a quarter are hoping to clock 250,000 miles or more.

In addition, nearly one in five Americans believe the most important thing when having their oil changed is being able to have multiple services performed in a single visit, and more than half (59%) want to have their oil changed in 30 minutes or less.

Does this describe you? It does me. I’m driving the first car I ever picked out, financed in my name, and paid for until I owned the title. I had picked out four other vehicles, but the first two I was so young were financed in others names, and the third one I traded in for my current love, my 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. This was one of my stupid decisions in life (financially). I walked in, told the salesman I wanted it. Gave him my info and told him I’d be back to tomorrow to purchase it. No negotiations, no haggling…I wanted this car. (by the way, this was summer 2003 and the first one they had on the lot). I was that in love with this car, and I still love my baby. She’s now at 170,000ish miles, and I hope to drive her at least 3 or 4 more years.

There is now a new Facebook community for drivers like me (and maybe you?) called Keeping My Ride Alive. As a member of this community, you can cruise the site to browse photos and stories from other high-mileage drivers, and share your own stories and photos.

In honor of this community, Jiffy Lube is sponsoring TWO winners to receive a $35 Jiffy Lube Gift Card.

This is a great deal. Jiffy Lube offers the Jiffy Lube Signature Service® Oil Change to address the needs of high mileage vehicles by providing drivers with much more than just an oil and filter change. The service includes changing, inspecting, checking/filling and cleaning key vehicle parts and fluids and offers drivers a quick and convenient way to maintain their vehicle. The Jiffy Lube Signature Service® Oil Change is a convenient solution that can help drivers preserve the value and longevity of their vehicle.

The gift cards can be redeemed towards the popular Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change or other services offered at more than 2,000 Jiffy Lube service centers throughout the country.
