Default This is why I have always felt this way...

People dont understand, Why I have a passion to hate Jiffy lube and most other cheap mechanic shops.. this video will serve as a warning for those that didnt know, and a reinforcement for those that feel the way I do..

Yea my Dad went behind my back and took my car to a jiffy lube yesterday for an oil change which I INSISTED I would do myself. I wonder if they even changed the oil filter....and they probably use that crap recycled oil. [&:]

What a joke. I would never take my car to a lube and filter place. I'm not sure who does?

totally disgusting but do you think only jiffy do this?? well guess what they don't many reputable dealers also do it ( the mechanic that is and the dealer will always say "sorry mate no idea" ill look into it ), always score/paint the old part

i cant believe the District Manager, would lie like a coward, and all that crap.. i mean what the hell, and when "Leo" called him he was like "yeah they caught us" so obviously the manager knew what was going on.. those people need jail time!!

I agree but as seen on the video we can mark things to help stop it ( even tell the garage what you have done ) so they are aware you know what goes on behind the scenes, I like to watch anything done to my car
