Re: Where to go for service /Seattle-Eastside
Jiffy Lube?
There MIGHT be a good Jiffy Lube somewhere in the country, but their business model is: Hire minimum wage untrained persons, encourage them by offering them good commissions on sales and let 'em go.
The idea is that doing oil changes, the employees make minimum wage - they only make real money if they can sell you services or parts you don't need - and that's what they do. But "Untrained" is the word you should pay attention to.
Don't set yourself up for a "Dr. Phil moment". If you REALLY want to pay someone to do what you could do, go find an independent MB/German car shop that is known for good work.. In fact, for OIL CHANGES and such, any reputable garage would be OK, I think. Expect your oil change to run $100 and up to $150. You can do it yourself for around $60-80 depending on what specials you can find on the oil.
