We've all heard endless stories and seen endless videos on just how bad quick-lube places are, and all the crooked/careless stuff they do.
Anyone had any really POSITIVE experiences with one, or heard of one that they'd like to share?
I have no problems with quick-lube places. When I got my first car, I always took it to 'Mr. Lube', and got fine service. Yes, they always tried to upsell, but I don't feel I got 'ripped off' - I said yess to some stuff, no to others. Never had an engine oil problems.
When I started working at Wal-Mart after that, I dropped my car off at the garage at the start of a shift, and picked it up at the end. I was an employee, so I never had any problems.
These days, if I go to a QL place, I go to 'Oil Changers'. I'm really happy with the service there - very friendly people, no pushy upselling at all, and they don't cause a fuss at all when I ask them to catch a UOA sample. They use high-quality oil and filters, are decently priced (the cheapest of the 'drive through places), and are careful with their work - what's not to like?
So lets hear the 'good side' of this industry!
