doesnt really surprise me... thats why I like to do my own oil changes and dont ever get any extra services unless its already their scheduled time, and then I ask for them specifically... Mcwhorters told me I needed $1500 of front end work... when I started looking into it myself... turned out I just needed new bearings... so its not just jiffy lube -------------------- ~Clatto Verata Nicto

this is ongoing....
they always have the upperhand because usually people who take their cars in for repair have no fucking clue what their car does... so they can charge for rediculous repairs, never do them, and the customer is none the wiser -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good.

Thankfully, I have a good sense of when an auto place is lying to me and when they're not. I do, however, want to take a car maintenance class at some point so that I can do minor repairs myself and have a better sense for when my car needs more major repairs that I'd trust to a professional.

Fuck jiffy lube. I brought my rx-7 in there twice when I had a ton of stuff to do that day and no time to change the oil; each time they wanted me to get a new fuel and air filter, fuel line cleaning, and transmission fluid change. They got a big fuck you.

even stuff they are going to do is expensive. Ben's vehicle was 45 in parts to change the front brakes and one caliper (and I have Jack stands now!). Damn brake place wanted 250 to do it.
