Why on earth would you go to one of those places anyway? I use Sears or Meineke and have NEVER had a problem.

Simple routine maintenance I do myself - always have. I just don't trust those large chains - too many horror stories.

Who owns the name anyway? It was Pennzoil, then Quaker gobbled them up, (or was it the other way around?) then Shell gobbled up the whole pie. I lost count after that.
After they drastically overfilled my 94 transmission some 9 years back, I don't go near them.

I'm shocked! (not!)....all of the "oil change" places are not making money on the oil changes, they're making it on all the "you really should change X now because the manufacturer says so...") work.
Your best bet, if you use JiffyLube or the like, is to hang around the bay while they're doing the work. -Bill
