That just pisses me of. But it doesn't surprise me.

5 out of 9 ripped them off! Jiffy Lube sucks at least in California.
Wonder if that lying district manager kept his job?

its really not that surprising. I mean there are crooks everywhere. Theres a lot of moron mechanics out there too. I was at a walmart one day getting my tires rotated after I changed my oil and the guy before me was getting an oil change in his corolla. The mechanic misread the line in the book that tells them how much fliuds it takes for each car and put 7.5 liters of oil in the car. (thats how much coolant fits in the radiator apperently) The pressure built up so much from the garage to the parking lot that the dipstick shot out and dented the hood and blew all seals. I saw the guy a weeks later and they did pay for the repairs though, and didnt say they werent walmart.

thats why i check everything afterwards or wait in the shop when repairs are being done to mine.

Just another reason I do all my vehicle work myself. When it comes to anything beyond my ability, I'm off to the dealer. It may cost more, but I've got recourse if needed.

Trying to get a $6 / hr oil change jockey to stand behind their work, not so much.

I've also heard it's common to leave hard to access oil filters in place, and ruining threads on oil pans.

Shows like this have been done for years. It's easy for networks/stations to boost ratings with these stories. Look for them during Sweps Week.

Jiffy Lube's are franchised.
