It is really hit or miss with Jiffy Lubes. Some of them are great, some of them not so much. I worked at 2 different Jiffy Lubes and I would trust the crews that I worked with, I don't know how they are now since it is 4 years later. To answer your question, in the Baltimore area it runs around $30 - $35 for the conventional oil signature service, the price goes into the mid $40 area for a synthetic blend, SUV oil or a high mileage oil signature service and then there is the full synthetic oil signature service that is from around $50 - $65.
Do some research on the Jiffy Lubes in your area, search every possible way. Don't know if this is possible or not, look them up at your local BBB.

Stay away from Jiffy Lube and all other chain lube shops. Take your car to your dealer or a trusted mechanic. At these lube shops you may be trusting your expensive engine to an untrained lube jocky. I would not trust them to touch my engine.
Part 2:As someone who worked their way up from Lube tech to line mechanic at a GM dealer, there is no guarantee that you won't get some nube lube tech at a reputable dealer. The dealer actually gives their techs less time (than say Jiffy) and their working alone which does not implement a check system like Jiffy. On the other hand I drove away from a Jiffy Lube last month with the fender protectors still attached to my truck. I kept them (handy)
