And while at Jiffy lube...

...the "oil" mechanic realizes its a women driving the car. He then proceeds to convince her that she needs a coolant flush, a transmission flush, a new serpintine belt, and windshield wiper fluid.

30 minutes and 200$ bucks later the woman doesnt seem so smart anymore.

Had to stick up for the guys who actually spend less then 20$ at the store and have their own oil changed in 15 minutes.

A man who can't drink a beer and change the oil and filter in 15-20 mins is one who doesn't belong under the car. And Jiffy Lube is a ripoff they rarely change your filter specially if you go there allot and if you pay for synthetic you're not getting it unless you babysit them! drinker
