the wife pulls into the driveway one day after an oil change at jiffy lube , smoke billowing out from under the hood , i open the hood they did not put the oil fill cap back on i was lucky the cap had fallen off to the side and it did not get lost but what a stinking mess under the hood i realize they don't hire brain surgeons but come on , at least i should be happy they put the oil in

If anyone ever has this happen to them I believe they make an oversized bolt for a lot of cars that self taps and gives you a nice new hole in the oilpan.

I have a Jeep dealers contract for a number of lubes for my Jeep Wrangler. I thought it was a good deal at the time, BUT...Lawless Jeep in Woburn MA is servicing my vehicle and after having the oil changed and the vehicle lubed I noticed that the grease fittings were never touched. I asked the mechanic who was serviceing the jeep why it was never greased - his answer was that the lube service does not include greasing it. The dealers idea of a lube job is to change the oil period! They do not check any fluid levels or even the tire pressure. I complained to the service writer and he told me that the jeep doesn't have grease fittings. I have a few coupons left and every time I go to the garage to have the vehicle serviced, I try and watch to see how much I have to complete to keep the jeep in good shape. This dealer is worse than the Jiffy guys.
