So, I get my tire changed courtesy of AAA, and take my car into NTB to get the front tires changed and a oil change.

So, you might ask, why did I need a ride home and have my car pushed by the NTB people to the repair shop next door? Because apparently sometime during my last oil change at Jiffy Lube (or God only knows how many times before that) those ham handed idiots stripped out the plug for the oil pan and replaced it with something called a Helix screw. Which is only good for thirty days. Which I was never informed of.

I've been driving with it for at least four months.

Needless to say, I just had a very short conversation with a Jiffy Lube customer service rep, who promises (no really) that the district manager is going to check out my car and give me back an answer within 48 to 72 hours. Really.

In the meantime I've got to rent a car, and make worst case scenario plans to purchase a new car if I can't shake out the repair cost from Jiffy Lube. Because whatever its going to cost to repair is certainly more than the car is worth at this point.

AARRRRGH!

And this is why I never ever ever take any of my vehicles to the McNasties of the automotive world. I pay a little more for an oil change but the Mechanic is reputable and good. Jiffy Lube is nothing more than a place for morons who cant get a mechanics certification to fuck up other peoples rides.
I feel for you dude and wish I could help but there is little I can do. Good luck shaking money out of a corporation that does not hold its employees accountable for their fuckups.
