Jiffy Lube Priceless

[318isbmw]

It takes a half hour to do the work yourself. Hell, my gf even has been doing it since she was 17 on her car also... Clean the engine compartment or somethin, I'm sure you all could clean the inside or find somethin to do on the car for 20 minutes while it drains and that's even an overshot on how long it takes to drain. Don't be lazy, if u want it done right do it yourself, and if u dunno how to do it, watch someone else or read a manual, simple as that in my book.

That video was hillarious! I am sure that it happens quite often. My local drive-thru oil change place stopped allowing customers to drive into the bay after they had that happen 3 times in the same week.

But I agree.. NEVER go to jiffy lube. You gotta watch those guys. This MORON filled my crankcase with windshield washer fluid! And by the time the guy realized his mistake he asked me if I wanted them to change the oil again. :roll: Uh.. like I'm gonna say, "Oh no.. that's OK." And you would think that I learned my lesson but a few months later I took the company vehicle to Jiffy Lube because I was short on time and the boss was a real stickler about going over 3000 miles. And because I was too impatient to take the truck to a REAL auto shop, I went back to these guys who managed to get oil on everything except the inside of the engine.

So you would think that I learned my lesson after the SECOND trip.. but nooo.. I had to go there again to get the company vehicle serviced. This time it was due for an air filter replacement and a tire rotation.. and thats when they charged the company account but did not do the work. They opened the hood and popped off the hub caps and then the car sat there for about 20 minutes (I stood outside at watched from across the street as I ate lunch at taco bell) and then they closed the hood and replaced the hubcaps and parked the truck. I figured there was a problem with the account. And when I went to go see about the situation they told me that the work was done.

I know I will probably be stupid enough to go there again when my guard is down and I am feeling charitable enough to try them just one more time.

Dude, fool you once, shame on them, fool you twice, shame on you, fool you thrice, get the fucking hint, potentially fool you four times, shoot yourself.

Its not that I don't know how.. Its the fact that I dont want to. I don't like the mess that goes along with changing the oil. Sometimes the wind blows when you pull the plug causing the stream to shoot all over the place..then after getting it drained it takes time and effort to bottle up into something that wont pop open and/or spill over in transport. And then there is the idiot cashier at the gas station who has no idea what you are talking about when you return the used oil.

Lately I have been taking it to this drive-thru shop that is owned and operated by Palestinians who really know what they are doing. The guy even scolds me occasionally for going a few hundred miles over.

you my friend are DUMB!

that lube shop was actually in a place in brooks alberta canada. I manage
one of the stores in the franchise. The tech could of been hurt or even killed. I personally have been pinned against the door by a one ton dodge. my fault? Not effin likely. bad drivers are every where, not just on the roadways.
The driver of the car in the video actually thought it was normal to put the car in the hole. He was not shakin up at all by the whole affair. He actually was in to complain about an oil leak from a previous oil change. He said NOTHING about the accident once he climbed out the passenger side.Barely spoke english, draw your own conclusion.

I'm also scared by how many of you go to these places. I went twice, about 12 years ago. The first time was fine, the second time they didn't quite tighten the oil plug. Didn't lose all the oil, fortunately, but it was dripping around. Done my own since then.

Yes, because only English speakers know that dropping your car into a hole in the ground isn't a good idea. Fuckin' non English speakers :drink:

[mtechnik]

how do you select said oil?
texture, feel, color, smell, taste? ;)

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

My point being the kid guiding the car in was screaming (yes screaming, i heard the actual audio to this) STOP!!! STOP!!! STOP!!!!!! and the guy had no fuckin clue what he was saying and actually ACCELERATED toward the employee.

oh boo-hoo! are you fucking serious?!? give me a break!

i think potentially saving your car from well being stuck in a hole is worth your laziness ay? I wouldnt understand why you would say that your willing to potentially ruin your car because "you dont feel like it"....

feel sorry for your car.

Man what the hell?

Quit being a whiney little bitch.

OH GOD THE FUCKING OIL IS SPRAYING IN THE WIND FUCK FUCK FUCK

Get a fucking paper towel and some simple green and some tissues for your tears. What the hell. If you can't handle changing your own oil "because its dirty" I don't want to know what you expect to gain on this board. Not to blow up on the guy but seriously, click logout and close your browser man.

Yeah.. I admit it.. I've been total wuss when it comes to oil changes. I dunno.. its something about when I pull that plug and the oil gets on my hand, it sort of feels like warm cum.. and I don't really like that feeling.

But I will pull myself together, get an oversized container and some Simple Green and a pair of gloves.. and I will try it again!
