That is why I try doing as much work as I possibly can myself.

Instead of calling J-L's management, it should have been the local DA watching the video, then run the video on the news, with the management doing the "perp-walk"

It really sucks the way 80% of those express service places give the other 20% a bad name.

I used one of those fast oil change places years ago when I had an 83 Olds. After leaving that place the car ran terrible on the way home. When I got back to my house I checked the oil level and found they put around 7 quarts instead of 5...........I swore then I'd never go back to another one.

Two years ago I had a oil change at J L in the Sparks-Reno area. As I sat in the waiting room the technician came in with my air filter and showed me how the gasket was torn. I had changed the filter myself before I left Wisconsin and it was fine then. They changed the air filter for about 3 times what it cost me at home. While waiting for them to finish my car another technician came in to show another customer how his air filter gasket was torn. Up until this time I had never had or heard of a torn gasket on an air filter. What are the odds?

DEPENDS on how hard the tech pulls on the gasket?

I often use quicky-lube places. I do however stand there and watch the whole proceeding from in front of the car (I tip the guy 5 bucks to make up for the discomfort of me hovering). I actually prefer this to leaving the car with my regular guy, as this way I know I got the synthetic oil I paid for, and besides its boring in the waiting room.

I have given up on changing my own oil, I have too many cars too little time and too little tolerance for the mess and inconvenience.

At the place I usually use they know me and are fastidious with my cars, and I have grown to enjoy kibbitzing with the lube guys.
