there's a place here in town that charges 19.95.. 'super lube' or
something like that..
Most of the time, that won't even cover the cost of materials for most
of the cars I service with the cheapest stuff.. Definitely not saying
it's a good deal, though.
I put a bimmer on the rack once.. the customer complained of a noisy
rear end.. tried to save a couple bucks going to jiffy lube.. the
person left the plug out of the diff.. oops! Never saw that car
again..
My sister had been going to Jiffy Lube. They started being careless. Once
they left the filler cap off the top of the block after changing oil. That
nearly ruined her engine, and 7A's are pretty hard to ruin.
