Yepppp.Sounds about right though.At least down here....most people who care about there stuff know not to go to a Jiffy lube.I also do my own stuff though so i don't have that problem.

Now that's some ****. People that can't work on their cars are better off buying a brand new one every 4 years or so.

I'm not surprised. Most drivers don't even know how to change their own engine oil. How are they supposed to know their car is getting a transmission flush....or a fuel filter replacement? This stuff happens everyday and everywhere. That district manager's behavior didn't surprise me either. People are lazy.

Another good video to see would be what they do to your vehicle on a test drive.
