I take issue with letting others work on my car without me watching. With a family of 4 (5 with 80 pound dog) cruising down the highway with a full roof rack on multiple adventures per year, I need 100% visual assurance that things have been, and always will be, done right.
That being said, many car owners are hopeless when it comes to maintenance. Jiffy lube scam or not, if she took a couple of minutes to verify the work, or ask someone to verify it for her, she would have known something was wrong. Blind faith is not my cup of tea.
I totally agree with you on that but you know how girls are and can be, they just want to be pretty, and spend as little as possible on their vehicles.
My GF often drives her car with 1-2Qts short on oil...
This morning she was running late for work, I watched her get in start the car put it in D and do a WOT out her parking space... I hope that motor lasts a couple more months!
