Jiffy Lube Scams

A news reporter in LA uncovers scams at Jiffy Lube.
I hate Jiffy Lube. Some years ago, I took my old Celica for an oil change there before a long trip. I discovered later that the goofballs who worked there didn’t fill up the minimal amount of oil. Had I taken my car to Sacramento as planned, the Celica would probably be incinerated somewhere on interstate 80.
Jiffy Lube sucks.
I heard sometimes they don’t close things
up properly. It causes a fire to a friend’s car. I was stupid enough to go there once a long time ago cause I was too lazy to go anywhere else. They charge a lot for a simple oil change. Now that I think about it I don’t
know if they changed the oil for me at all.
That sucks, but how can you make sure other shops are honest? Thanks gawd I don’t have to worry about that anymore ^^
Guess taking care of inspecting your car after each oil change is the only way to ensure it. Having a reliable local mechanic would be valuable, which I’ve yet to find one after all these years. Between this & the high priced gasoline, public transportation looks more appealing. Too bad, bay area’s transit sucks and isn’t half as good as NY’s.
