A clean man who realizes the cost of materials is more than $16!

Plus you ever tried to rotate your tires yourself?

I've changed oil myself, and it used to be cheaper to do it yourself, since the economy has turned, you can go to a jiffy lube and get it done with or without synthetic for the same price as doing it yourself, and if you time it right, it'll be done faster because you don't have to worry about dealing with the plastic bucket full of oil sludge that has to be recycled.

honestly, they can charge cheaper rates because they expect less from their employees.

our friends, not us thankfully, have had issues with jiffy lube and wal-mart and quality of service. one friend had them not fully tighten the oil filter, and it flew off down the street a ways. another friend took his vw tdi (diesel) to jiffy lube, wrong oil and they couldn't find the filter for it so the put the old one back in.

imho if you care about your car, do it yourself or pay a friend with alcohol who enjoys working on cars to do it.

Well I can check the reciept to see what oil they put in it, and I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the quality of service at your jiffy lubes in your area are ghetto as shit if they don't know how to put on an oil filter. I've never heard of anything like that happening around where I live. Then again I always get synthetic so maybe they pay more attention to what their doing cuz they think they can try to upsell me on stupid shit.

Who recycles their used oil? Just dump it out in the woods somewhere.

this honestly might be a problem localized to southern california (although I doubt it). I only say this because i remember a year or two ago there were ripples going through local news media about how Jiffy Lubes rip people the fuck off, charge them for services not performed, etc
