I will never go to one of those places. Most of you don't know but before I had the srt-4 i had a honda prelude. The previous owner used super-lube for the oil changes. Well when it was time for an oil change, i crawled under the car and attempted the remove the drain plug. It turns out that the guys at super-lube had stripped out the drain plug. Nothing that wasn't fixable but it still made me mad. I will never take one of my vehicles to a place like that.

 

man, you guys think that for 7-8 bucks an hour that any of these peeps give a crap?

NEVER go to quicky lubes, unless you are friends with the employees there and they know to take care of your ****.

 

hey dusty, did you watch them put the oil in? i was just curious (and concerned!).
it is certainly easy forget that people can be so inept, but then something like this happens and you remember why you lost faith in mankind.
i empathise bro...

 

I went to valvoline instant oil change in my Miata back in November. Didnt bring my own oil, but paid $75 for a Full synthetic change. I never did get rid of that lifter tick, and to top it off they left a rag in my engine. Im driving home and smell this godawful burning smell. I went back there flipping out like you wouldnt believe, and never went back to such a place since.

I bring my own oil everywhere. Elf FS5w40. I paid 17.82 at my old Dodge dealer for a change. At the new one I pay 7.22 and get a Buy 5 get your 6th free deal card. The way I drive Ill be on my 6th in two months.

 

jiffy lube managed to strip the drain plug on my wrx, then said it would be 245$ for a new drain plug because the drain plug was the type that had the oil temp wire going thru the plug...

 

holy **** those prices are steep, my dad brings it to a place down the road from us for every oil change, like 23 dollars for the oil change, they lube it up underneath, and u get a "free" car wash

and the truck takes a lil over 5 quarts i think
