That blows. You should have had them tow it to another place and pay for their service. I would recommend doing the changes yourself. I just watched the jiffy lube scam video clip on here. Seems like shakedowns are common, do the changes yourself!
Hey duburban,


Can you give me the direct link to the jiffy lube scam vid????

Thanks
This is the link to the jiffy lube ordeal...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiCAJ8ULnaI

I thought Sears had a better rep than this though.

And AvantSport - Clearly the first two are obvious mistakes, but posting this isn't - more so a warning to anyone who may stumble into the same issue.
3rd one was a joke, I was feeling humerous this morning. I meant no offense. It's easy for me to sit here and 2nd guess your dilemna, I didn't really know your circumstance at the time. Sorry to here of your problems with a simple oil change, we all should learn something here.

Peace, Tom

Sorry to hear that bro - it sounds like Ron White and his stand-up routine about getting his tires changed at Sears, and how the one wheel fell off when he left. If you haven't heard that, you should look it up - it's a good laugh and may make you feel a little better I'm glad it's finally taken care of though.

Sounds like a crazy adventure of oil change.

At least they sort of took responsibility of it and replaced the parts.

Thanks for sharing the experience with fellow members.

I take my car to the local Jiffy Lube to have the oil changed. The tech that works on my car (and two others) are friends I went to school with, and I supply the oil and filter. I'd do it myself, but I'm far too busy with my job. It's all about finding someone you trust, and actually making sure the work gets done. For the most part, though, those chains are horrible for any car...

First week I got my car I needed an oil change so I brought it over to NTB. They tell me they don't have the right filter in stock so it will be a few hours. I go pick it up and the total was $82 for a damn oil change! They even put the wrong filter on so ever since then I have been doing my own oil changes.
