Fair enough. So, is your gold standard to judge a quick lube place that "nothing was damaged?" Non-spec oils, filters not explicitly listed by an application guide, overfilling, underfilling, paying for work that wasn't done, and upsells are all okay, as long as there's no damage?
If any of the stuff you listed happened.....your car wouldn't blow up. There are thousand of cars that get their oil changed everyday at "Quick Lube" places and other type "garages". They are all on the road and NOT SITTING ON THE SIDE of the road.
But hey-change your own oil-validate whatever your position is-that's fine. Most owners do not wish to crawl under their car-deal with removal of the aero covers/skirts that are under almost all cars that need to come off-and then have to dispose of the old oil-nope most don't want to deal with it.
