Same thing happened to me at Firestone recently. I normally change my own oil, but because of health issues, I figured I'd have someone do it since I was a little overdue. I knew about Jiffy Lube's reputation and thought I might be a bit safer with Firestone or someone else. After the oil change I stopped at a convenience store and just for $hits and giggles, I pop the hood. They never changed the filter. You can't believe how pissed off I was. They offered me free oil change certificates. NO THANKS!!!!!!! I wrote a nasty letter to Firestone letting them know I would never conduct business with them ever again.

This goes on in every trade unless you are there to watch over them every step !!!
especially when I've need something done to my house!
It's cheaper to take a day off from work and loose a days pay than to let some construction , electrician, plumber ect... be there alone !!!
I don't trust ANYONE !!!

Ever thought what a male dentist could be doing while he has a girl knocked out on the gas, and he has no assistant there watching him ???
I could tell you a few stories of this happening!

I did get my money back after I watched them do the oil change properly.

About six years ago i took a brand new truck to jiffy lube, the friggin clowns took the drain screw outta the transfer case and didn't put it back. I drove it around for a week till I fried the carrier. It took me a week of leaving messages and argueing to get the issue resolved. They paid for the repairs which was over 3 grand, but I was without a vehicle for 2 weeks. Then the jackasses sent me a coupon sayin, "we would really like your business back, heres 10% off your next oil change." I was like...10%!!!!!

I can tell you that we replaced a bunch of oil pans due to cross threaded drain plugs from the quicky shop.... We had more than a couple dead motors too...

Yup, that too John. I remember replacing oil pans due to JL guys cranking the drain plug up with a 3' breaker bar.

Also had to rebuild a ton of brake systems because the mokes topped up the master cyl. with motor oil...Cust drives down the road..motor oil swells all the brake system seals and car stops..brakes lock up solid..Made some serious $$$ fixing JL F-ups/
