This. And Teranfon has it a bit closer on the Jiffy Lube part. As someone who once worked there, it's pretty damn close.

We should have a 'car repair stories' thread where we can share all the funny stories.

Jiffy Lube. When you care the least about your car.

Oil changes with my two TL's are almost as easy as it was with my 1988 Mustang LX 302CID. The strange thing about the 302 in that car was it had two drain plugs, but it was still easier, and quicker, than the TL.

Checks??? I still write checks. You want to hear something crazy? I spent 29 years as a software engineer in various hi-tech shops and I have never used an ATM machine in my life! Yep, I know y'all think that's nuts.

So true.. When I was young and dumb, I was heading on a road trip and couldn't get into the dealership for an oil change, so I thought I would try my luck with Jiffy- I was in my car, they handed me a coffee-10 seconds later the coffee spills as the monkeys under the car absolutely hammer on the drainplug- I yelled at them to stop and ask WTF is going on- the "manager" tell me that whoever changed my oil last time stripped the drain plug, and I was going to need to go to the dealer to get it taken care of. I tell him " You mean the Acura dealer stripped my drain plug, not the idiots beating on the car right now?" - he just shrugged his shoulders, opened the door and told em to have a nice day-

Went begging to the dealership and got fixed up, plus a stern lecture on staying away from those shitholes.........lesson learned

Hey, don't knock writing checks. Here's something I heard about some years back. Don't know if it is still true or not, but just in case...

Suppose you're issued a ticket for speeding and you have the choice of just paying for it or going to court (let's say it is a $75 ticket). Write the check for, say $76 and mail it in. When your check is processed, they will have to mail you back the $1 overpayment you made. That's fine. When you receive their check, don't cash it. This keeps them from completing the transaction and apparently recording the infraction on your driving record.

Now as I said, I don't know if this is true any longer (I don't even know if it was true when I heard it). I just thought it was interesting.

Not sure if this was true years ago but I also hear this tale. However I know folks who tried this in NY & VA and in both cases their records got updated (DMV & Insurance) even if they didn't cash in the check.

LOL. The instruction for Men was funny. The women would be lucky if they actually can get Jiffy Lube to change their oil...

Jiffy Lubes, as with all auto places, can be great if you know who works on your car and have a relationship with the employees. There are horror stories from everywhere, not just a quick lube place.
