IWSTI Addict since: Oct 2005 Trader Rating: (8) | Re: Jiffy Lube Scam on tape! I've heard it from others and even former employees who quit because of the business ethics. He told me they were encouraged to do so. This is why I change my own fluids. |

IWSTI Addict since: May 2004 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: Jiffy Lube Scam on tape! This is why I don't care about the signs that say "no customers beyond this point. Our insurance does not allow it." I'm always sticking my nose in where they don't want it because that is the only way you know the work is getting done. I have only taken my car to Subaru twice and I had to leave it once. I did a full inspection afterward. ****ING scammers. I'm glad they were caught. |

IWSTI Addict since: Jan 2006 Trader Rating: (5) | Re: Jiffy Lube Scam on tape! Its not just Jiffy lube. Even techs at dealerships do it to a certain extent....trust me.. If you get a three hour job done in 1 hour...you still get paid for three hours... The WHOLE car mechanic buisness is so un-ethical/moral its rediculous. |

IWSTI Addict since: May 2007 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: Jiffy Lube Scam on tape! I always watch the oil changes at the pep-boys I go to....I also bring the oil "I need" from the store to their service area and give them to the installer ( with permission of course).....then watch behind the chain. Good video....these places have been doing this to the customer for years... If you go to one of them.....watch everything....and get the used parts back. Then drive down the block, stop and check your car out. |

IWSTI Addict since: Oct 2003 Trader Rating: (0) | Re: Jiffy Lube Scam on tape! I see a customer a week after Jiffy Lube messes up there car. Even when they are just supposed to change your oil, its amazing how many times they do not put the fluids back in! This ad is not endorsed by this member. Please register or login to hide this ad. |
