Ducman Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 My buddy e-mailed me this. Happened to me. Won't go there ever again. > > NBC Station got screwed 5 out of 9 times. Apparently > the scheme goes far up to at least District Manager > level. Even the Corporation declined the invitation > to explain. Jiffy Lube gets investigated by NBC4 TV This is what I wrote back to my friend: Joe, Well, your probably better off if they dont actually do the work anyway. They talked me into changing the tranny fluid in my ranger in 1994, the truck was barely 2 years old. They overfilled my manual transmission at 40K miles in my ranger and caused it to blow out an upper seal. I new this because it had puked fluid all over my driveway and the mechanics parking lot but was at the full mark when the mechanic checked the fluid level. Jiffy lube basically said get F-ed. It cost me $450 dollars, several trips to the mechanic, and several days of down time. Worst of all, one of the guys working on my truck was a guy I new from highschool and he was a total and complete idiot. Guess I should have known better! Needless to say I don't go to jiffy lube anymore. Jiffy Lube sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed350x Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I kinda tend to agree with helldriver on this one. Something as simple as an oil change. There's nothing to it. It costs WAY less to run down to walmart and buy the oil and change it yourself, including filters. I wouldn't trust any of those fucky-tard places any farther than I could throw them. I've always done all my own work on every vehicle I've owned. I have a jeep cherokee with 265,842 miles on it and it still runs awesome.

Plus, it gives you an excuse to go to Walmart and buy $100 of extra shit that you didn't plan on buying. I am not sure how I feel about the "fucky-tard" explicative though. :baseball_original: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalegoldston Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) I pay $27 to get the oil changed and that includes a car wash. 5 quarts of PZ5W30 and filter, plus I dont have to dispose of the used OIL. Dont tell me you just pour the crap in your back yard do you? I am not a tree hugger but you gotta do some shit the right way. But its not a Jiffy Lube just something like it.

helldriver Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) trust me, i'm no fuckin tree hugger either, but its not to hard to take the used oil to a garage,, it takes me a whole extra 15 minutes out of my life to do,,, big deal i just couldnt see paying someone for a oil change in a car/and or a light duty truck :shrug: Edited August 30, 2006 by helldriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybluerider Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I take my pickup to the dealer to have the oil changed. It costs me 29.99 to have them change the oil top off the fluids and grease the thing. I changed my oil the last time because I couldnt get in when I needed to and I was going on a trip to the dunes and it cost me 28.74 for oil and filter. So for me it doesnt make any sence for me to waste my time changing my own oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
