99% of the fraud by any of these chains is at the district or local level rather than a corporate conspiracy. IIRC, the Sears thing of a few years ago was from a few stores out in California. I have seen my local Firestone be a rip off with the Jiffy Lube doing a outstanding job. It really boils down to doing some research on your local outlets by either asking word of mouth or inquiry to the BBB.quote:

"The ONLY one that might be decent is Sears." Sears was prosecuted a few years ago for auto repair fraud. The local Firestone/Bridgestone shop seems reputable...I've bought tires and had alignment done there, and watch other cars' repairs. Seems OK to me.
