What is wrong with my car??

[Jessika]

yep, as a general rule, most repair shops will sell you whatever they think they can get away with. a shop i worked at had a guy bring in his truck for an inspection and i was standing there when the service writer called to tell him it needed 4 tires, the guy on the phone was like, um, i put brand new tires on it last week, did you even look at my truck?

basically stay away from jiffy lube places in general, i know way to many retards that worked at those places and heard some pretty bad stories. as well as had to help them fix things that they had no buisness trying to repair ( used to work next to one), just always make them show you what is wrong and explain how/why it needs replaced. as far as fluid intervals, all of them are in your owners manual.

Oh DEFINITELY stay FAR FAR away from Jiffylube, everyone!! They will charge you for repairs they never even do! I forget which news company, but someone did an undercover story at some local Jiffylubes in their area, and you would be amazed at how much money they charged them for repairs that never even happened!! I will try to dig up the video for you guys

Here is a link to the story:

there is a link to view the video on the page, too

Well it seems this is an update to the original undercover story, but you still get the idea

i'm sorry i didn't want to sound biased towards honda and say anything vehicle specific, but honda dealerships don't really count, as do toyota, lol.

the reason is because honda makes some of ( from an engineering standpoint) the best cars in the world, they also have extremely good buisness practices and like you said, they have no need to try and rip you off, because a satisfied customer is a return customer.

for the record i build custom turbocharger setups for honda's so i am slightly opinionated and love them very much
