I am Carbon

As You will see the jiffy lube brand has major problems with honesty.
I will soon be needing the timing belt changed out, but I will go back to the Toyota dealer where I bought the car, to have that done.
The local Texaco Express Lube tried to get me to do a trans flush and filter change on my old Nissan with a manual transmission. I do know that manual transmissions have fluid in them but when he said he checked the dipstick and it was filthy I figured I'd have a little fun. Played dumb and told him I had never even checked the fluid in 3 years of ownership and asked if he could show me where the dipstick was and how to check it. After about five minutes of searching the only admission of guilt was "I must have gotten your truck mixed up with the other one in the bay"
Sounds like you're DONE! Where's the grammar police when you need them?I have a good relationship with my home-town Kwik Car, but the one 10 miles away, not the one 6 miles away. Don't take much to run me off. Speaking of 1000 dollar brake jobs "Just Brakes" is notorious for that, and they won't do any work if you don't sign for it all. Happens in Dallas all the time. Our local Fox station has an investigative reporter who gets death threats because she's so good! She done a european auto garage where a little white haired lady had spent $5800.00 in one year on a 740 wagon with 33,000 miles on it. They planted a cam under the hood. The guy wrote E-Z on top of her radiator, so the crew new she was an easy sell on repairs. They done a half dozen more like that, and torque striped bolts and such, and showed them there was nop way the described work could have been done. I stopped going to dealerships for anything, including buying vehicles, a good while ago. I have an independent shop that done my transmission in my truck, and have done the ignition and front hub bearings in our car for fair money and in good time. They call immediately and will send me pics on my phone if something goes beyond, which it seldom does. Shop don't look like much, but the work is top notch, and that's all I care about.
