Sleepless in Hillcrest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well I care. They have all the service records on my van for the last 10 years. I wonder if another location can retrieve the records in the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodthirst Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I worked at "the lube " years ago and I can tell you that you were a fool to take your car to them. Nothing but pot heads there and I couldn't believe the lying that went on to the customers just to sell extra services and get a commission. I hope you didn't pay for a fuel injection cleaning, that was the biggest scam I ever saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them, I'd take it out and bang it on the ground a couple of times, just like my dad taught me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize that the no appointment oil change places are convenient, but they use cheap oil or else they charge extra for the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepless in Hillcrest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 You have driven the same car for 10years? I can't get mine to last the life of the loan! Believe me, I've been blessed. The old girl has a 137K on her, and she just won't quit. Had her serviced at Hillcrest RTV last month ( no plug intented for BTK and his cronies), and they couldn't find very much wrong with her...a new starter was all. But I do laugh about all the people on here, crying about auto repairs, and the site experts are right here all along. Reddi Killowatt is a master mechanic, send him a breakfast sandwich from Cornaby's ($3.25), and they treat you like God down there. Only place in my life that I've been quoted a price and actually paid less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 The Jiffy Lube on 434 near the Vestal library also closed. I hate to say it but I think its because they made a lot of mistakes. The last time I went there they forgot to install a rubber O ring on the oil filter and it almost ruined the engine on my Volvo. The management tried to blow smoke when I called them. I found out several that they had had made similar mistakes like forgetting to install the oil fill cap and dip stick. I stopped going there over a year ago and just change my own oil. Its cheaper and I know its done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlinclimo Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 The one on the parkway stripped the oil plug in my fathers boses truck and replaced it with a rubber plug and didnt tell him about it. Problem was those plugs dont work for s$&t and it popped out drained the oil and blew the motor. Pete sued and got a new motor, well the money to replace it anyway.

I don't know how they forgot to install a rubber o-ring on an oil filter, when oil filter's already come with a rubber gasket already on it. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy the Kid Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 FILTERS ALLREADY HAVE A GASKE GLUED ON I THINK YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT Relax there Francis, gaskets on oil filters easily pop off and are missed when an inexperienced oil changer installs the new one.

I got into the habbit of checking the oil filter mount on a vehicle to check and make sure the gasket didn't stick to the engine before I put a new filter on...
