Then they give you the check sheet with all the extranious items
everything checked and absolutely nothing done. I've never once had
them top off my washer fluid, lube my door hinges, or check my tire
pressure.


I used to have a Nissan Pulsar in which the valve/pump for the
windshield washer fluid was mounted on the base of the fluid jug. Over
time, the pump unit rusted and leaked. I always told the Jiffy Lube
guys not to put any fluid in there as it would only leak out. I was
usually told "You probably don't use it and it evaporates" and they
would fill the jug and it would drip out for the next day.

One day when I was working on the engine, I removed the jug. The next
time I went to Jiffy Lube, the guy was going over the check sheet and
noting all the things that had been done. When he hit 'filled
windshield washer fluid', I stopped him. Asked where they put it,
since there is no jug. He got very embarressed and went back out into
the work area. Came back and said, well, you know, sometimes the guys
get in a hurry and check off stuff that wasn't done. I then asked what
else on the sheet was checked that wasn't done? He didn't offer any
kind of discount or deal to make up for his employees lack of
attention. I quit going there.
