Jiffy Lube in Sewickley, PA, early this afternoon changed the oil on my 05 Aerio. Then closed the hood on my prop rod. The rod was bent in half, and knocked out of its mount.

I watched this happen, and the employee trying to bend it back into shape. The same employee rang me out, never mentioning it. I finally asked, “how bad did you get my prop rod?”

He replied, “not too bad.”

I opened up the hood, and imagine my surprise to find my rod all bent up and missing paint.

There was no damage done to the hood or fender, fortunately.

Needless to say, they are paying for the damage. That’s not the point. If you screw up my car, tell me. It was an accident, right? And when I have to ask about it, don’t lie about it. That’s what pi55es me off.

They will not be servicing my car again.

I may be the only one here who’s ever gone there, but I wanted to vent.

I have always changed my own oil, I don’t trust people. This is a good case in point.

A local gas station takes my oil for me. I put it in gallon jugs and drive there, and the oil filter I just throw away.

Why not change your own oil? I changed mine today. And no, Dom didn’t do it for me. We usually just pour the old oil into the empty quarts and then take it somewhere like advanced.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

why are you changing your oil if it still works? If the engine still turns over, it doesn’t need an oil change.
