Well, make up your mind... Bottom posting is just as bad as top posting...
...and apparently you don't trim your posts either.

Actually, I went to one only once. The name is "Jiffy" Lube. So when they
told me there was an hour wait I left and never went back. A couple of years
ago a local radiator repair shop put in a lube rack. I can go there during
the day since it is near work. Only ever waited more than 10 minutes one
time.

Its been around more than 30 years now but there is a Canadian chain
Mr Lube plus a few competitor chains that have this oil change
facility. You wait in you car and drive right into the road level bay
(or in a few older facilities on a raised ramp) when a bay is
available. If there are more than five cars waiting in line its I
come back during a less busy time. Its rare that I have to wait more
than half an hour for an oil change, and all this done without getting
out of the car. In many lube shops you get free coffee and a
complimentary newspaper too to make your wait more pleasant.
There is a work pit right under each car bay accessible from the lower
level room. One guy works from the road level and the other guy from
the pit. Its a beautifully coordinated process. The work is done
while you are still in the car parked over that bay. You should be
able to drive out within 10 to 15 minutes. Its impossible to fake any
work because you can see or feel work being done. Or if you are
interested enough you can get out of the car to watch the engine oil
being sucked out, filters changed, grease being applied, brakes
checked, etc. You have a choice of the house oil or a brand name oil
and they tear the seal open from new 1 liter containers to do the
pour. The empty containers are discarded. They'll do the 30 point
maintenance check and make a report on the things that need to be
looked into but they don't do any repair work. You can go to any
independent repair shop.

MIDAS MUFFLER pittsburgh was ripping people like that! I once told the
story to Ron Moore president of Midas. He denied it buty I goit my
refund!
About 3 months later a investigative report at a local tv station broke
the news.
people who i had told and apparently didnt believe me were stunned.
the best thing that could happen is jiffy lube goes belly up
nationwide.
companies wouldnt pull stuff l;ike tis if those who got caught were put
out of business.
bridgestone firestone should of gone been put out of business as a
example.
i use my local mechanic or wall mart. cant beat 14 bucks for a oil
change, and they dont try to sell you extra car stuff, they let you
wait by shopping....
I have my own office machine repair business, I DONT pull stuff like
that since I hate it whhen people do it to me!
