I hate to change oil in my daily driver... to me it is not worth getting dirty for the $25 they charge... then having to get rid of the old oil... I will put a timing belt or water pump or other $$$ ticket item... but an oil change.... give me a break... I much rather do something more rewarding than to change oil...

There are also several oil change facilitys here that charge 9.99 to 14.99 for an oil change on special ....go buy 5 QTs of oil and a filter, get dirty, and then find a place to dump the old oil???? i dont even think you can buy the oil and filter for what those places charge.

All this lack of pride in your work crap is all over--Years ago I took a buick of mine to the dealer for a 12,000mi check up--When I go to pick up the car I go over the maintenance work done with the service manage and part of the scheduled maintenance was to rotate the tires. I had to laugh when I saw that they had written all tires rotated and told the service manager his mechanics could proably fix any problem ---------All the tires had wheel locks...........True Story-------------Never went back.

my daughter took her VW (4NJNK)to a jiffy scrube in Mass and they stripped her drain plug and replaced it with some "molly" thingie. It was empty by the time she got home. They denied everything, even the Molly plug ( all her other services were from the dealer). A new pan was needed and installed by VW. Actual cost of savings is unknown.
She always gets those VW $49. dealer oil changes now.

this looks like Jiffy Lube policy acording to those workers in the video. It goes way beyond the $5.00 per teaspoon of brake fluid that I remember at the pumps. Those boys are crooks!!

I once got a flyer for a 12 point free check-up (tire rotate, fluid top off and etc) from the place where I bought the car. I worked very close buy and winter was coming up so I brought it in. When I went to pick up the car it caught my eye that there were no finger prints on the dirty aluminum wheels. I brought the manager out and asked him how they can rotate the tires without even touching them. Was great seeing him squirm. I had the GM of the dealership taking care of me on the next visit. For this reason, I'll do all the work I can to my cars. Even oil changes. It only takes a few minutes..

Scumbags!
