The video doesn't surprise me. The only time I used jiffy lube was
when I was in college and didn't have time to do the change on my own.
This was for a car with a little over 100K on the odometer and had
never had the tranny fluid changed.

Care to guess what the sales droid there tried to push very
aggressively on me? Yep: the transmission service. He kept pushing and
pushing regardless of my resistance (even after I told him that if
that fresh fluid hit those old seals in the transmission that the car
wouldn't make it to the end of the driveway). He finally backed down
when I said to the effect that if they touched the transmission that
they would be hearing from my attorney - big bluff, but it worked.

And BTW, the car in question went another 150K on that same
transmission fluid save for the occasional few ounces to top it off.

"Foot pumps are a joke. I had one once and since the piston only moves like
2 inches it took 50 pumps to raise the pressure by one psi. Go with the
hand pumps where the piston moves around 15 inches. One of my tires has
exposed cords and i have to pump it up every week. "

I have an old U.S.M.C. hand pump.I bought it years ago at the Goodwill
store.It needs a new leather diaphram, I can make one.It would probally
work just as Good as new.

About nine something years ago, I took my old 1978 Dodge van to a Jiffy
Lube place to have the oil and filter changed.
Never Again!, those shysters are just that, Shsters)

The oil and filter change included a free car wash.That car wash knocked
out the right front outside mirror glass and broked it down the middle.
Never Again!

I had my mom's car done by JL at least three times. There was never a
hard sell and the last time the guy apologized because he couldn't fill
my windshield washer reservoir. Not surprising since the bottom has
been gone for several years now. Maybe they only try to scam guys
because they don't know anything about cars.

Some of them are honest. The ones in the video were all in what
looked to be the not-very-good areas of LA and staffed by "managers"
that looked like they were most likely hoping to make it thru
probation without getting locked up again.
