Oil change horror story

=

Jiffy Lube.

Guaranteed- if you see that sticker, at the very least, the oil drain bolt will
be fuckered, and there'll be a 'repair bolt' jammed in there.

If you're lucky.

You get what you pay for. Enough said.

Brutal! When I went to the original forum post I saw a targetted ad on the bottom of the screen from Jiffy Lube. Gotta love automated marketing!

Yeah, I saw that. I don't believe it.

The mere fact that he owned the necessary tools should indicate that he knows the importance of having it done RIGHT, and that most of those quick lube places DO NOT have the trained staff and tools....so what was he expecting? a miracle for $49?

Doesn't matter what you think. The guy was in he middle of a move and wanted a quick service. Oil changes are hard to mess up, and a shop that specializes in oil changes should be able to get the job done properly. It's not unreasonable to believe that a shop like Jiffylube can actually do an oil change.


The guy got screwed. Do you really have to be a dick about it?

Probably not holes cut in the bottom of the car.
And the trans fluid dumped.
That's a Jiffy Scroober that's WAAAYYYY off his meds, for sure.

10-30 instead of 0-40? Yeah, maybe that.

This. I know the people at those shops are frequently quite incompetent and even dishonest, double-gasket on the oil filter, wrong oil weight, stripped out plug, selling you services they don't actually do (flushes). But this was probably the worst case of a Jiffy Jab that I've ever seen. I mean, come on - there's incompetence, then there's outright headcase behavior, like cutting off a damn undertray.

[b*saint]

Why would you even go there? They probably don't even use the right SAPS oil even if its the same weight.

Don't be a prissy b1tch, change your own oil. Duh
