    Jiffy Lube, Oilchangers etc.

    I've always had bad experiences (work not really done, unneeded work
    recommended, etc) with both Jiffy Lube and Oilchangers. Are there any
    other quick lube chains that have a good reputation?

    Thanks.

    I take my car to the trie and lube section at wal*mart, and have never had
    a problem, neither has any of my family that take their cars there

    As the previous poster has stated, I have heard positive feedback from
    people going to Walmart.
    The reason I started doing all maintenance work myself was not
    because the mechanics are incompetent. Most mechanics get paid by the
    job, so they tend to rush things to get more jobs done during a day.
    This leads to screw ups which is what you as the consumer notice as
    incompetence. If you do it yourself you take your time and you know
    you are doing it right.

    My 2 cents,
    Nick

    Did you forget that the people on this group live all around the

    I ended up taking my car to a new Hyundai dealer nearby and was
    pleasantly surprised. They did it for $33 while I waited, had me out of
    there in half an hour and even washed my car!

    My own rule of thumb is to not let anyone touch my car that will not let me
    watch what they are doing. I do not mean that I need to get under the car
    with them, but if there is a window I am OK.

    Why don't you just do it yourself. That way, you'll know it was done
    right and you won't have to deal with someone trying to gouge you for
    unnecessary work. Install one of the Fram or Fumoto drain valves the
    first time and it makes the process faster and cleaner from then on.

    Do a GOOGLE on the Jiffy Lube types and read some of the horror
    stories (shudder).
    I installed a Fumoto valve on my Santa Fe and changing the oil is
    a snap. Of course, if the building regulations where you live, make it
    difficult to work on the car...
