SEND THIS TO WOMEN WHO NEEDS A LAUGH... AND TO MEN YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT....

*********************************************************************
I say, what the women forgot to think about is the fact that, the guy at the Jiffy Lube put the old oil back into the vehicle, forgot to tighten the oil plug, and the vehicle blew up on the way home.
Total cost for new engine: $2,998.00

Well, I guess it's still a little cheaper for the women to do it.
No arguments here. :D
 

There is more truth in what you said. They cost me a transmission rebuild because they left it dry. A nice 1500.00 bill for me because I drove it home the 6 blocks and parked it for winter. First trip out next spring it burned up. No leaks under it where it had been parked. I filled it on the mountain and it took the entire capacity. Manager said sorry it has been more than 30 days now go away. Never been back there in the 5 years since. Family friends going south for the winter had an oil change done here same outfit but different location. They didn't make it to the state line before the engine on their RV blew. It seems they filled the engine with the wrong stuff. I avoid them like the plague.
 

Ya, OldBillinUT, I know exactly what you mean. I had a cousin that worked for Jiffy Lube and he told me quite a few stories on some of the things that went on there... Not very pretty...

Funny about the post, only one reply. There had to be one of three things that could have happened here,,, they were all too hung over from the supper bowl party, they simply didn't like this sort of hummer, or they were all Bears Fans... ;D

Good luck, & Happy hunting~
 

I thought that it was kinda funny cuz I have known folks that couldn't operate a screwdriver very well. But play cards with em and you are going to be the victim guaranteed so they just focused on other things I guess.
