Only ever seen that once at a JL I worked at. Guy had a lifted 4x4 Jeep. Sat the axle on the rail and its a good thing he had a roll cage. Never seen with a grand-am though. Thats just dumb!

Well let me tell you what, JL was asked to Change my Transmission and Oil by me. When I left the Shop my Oil lite was on. I drove around the Block and went back to JL and the Manager seen me pull up and asked what was wrong. I got out and Showed him that my Oil lite was on and we checked the Oil. Well Guess what, They for got to put the Oil in after they drained the old Oil. They paid River Oaks Ford to do a Compression Check on my engine and Ford said that If I hdid not put Duro Lube in my vehicle my Engine would of Locked up and Become Frozen due to no Oil in the Engine The DURO-LUBE is what saved my Engine. JL gave me 20 Free Oil changes and you know what I said to that. I have no use for JL any more. This was in the year 1999. I now go to the Dealership now.

Thanks...joesblackhhr....

Before you posted these, I was going to list all the problems with JL. But, I got summoned away from the computer for a "honeydew". I'm glad you, unknowingly, stepped in.

The point is that Jiffy Lube appears to be the Yugo of the quick lubrication world. If someone elects to use their services, at least keep an eye on them (oh, and don't come back to the forum and cry...you were warned!!).
