I saw a car at my mechanic where a quick lube place drained the oil and neglected to put any back in, engine needed a full rebuild.
Your story is unbelievable. I thought I was annoyed cause of a minor tire issue. How many times do you have to change oil before you know what oil looks like and that is clearly different from transmission fluid? Also, a good mechanic always checks the level of any fluid he refills as a double check. I would try to get a full engine and transmission replacement, so you don't have problems down the road from this unnecessary repair.
Might even want to ask them to buy your car at pre-damaged market value and/or pay you the estimated cost of the repair and trade the car for another.
Get dealer estimates for a repair and replacement. Get a letter from your dealer stating what they find in the diagnosis. You 'should' be able to recover whatever the diagnosis costs from Jiffy Lube. Hope you get this quickly and favorably resolved.
Guess we should all check the oil level unless we saw it being drained and filled. I really prefer shops that let you watch the work, takes the worry out. Of course you do get to see some of the occasional sloppiness, but I can only imagine what goes on behind the closed doors of the really bad shops.
