Thumbs down No Fast Lube for me!

When I owned a shop, MB Autowerks, you wouldn't believe the number of Mercedes we saw that were screwed up by fast lube places. Usually, it was simple stuff like using the wrong tool to remove the drain plug which eventually ruins it.

Sometimes it was major...like draining the tranny and forgetting to fill it back up. Jiffy lube ended up paying us to install a new transmission. We LIKE Jiffy Lube!

Not long after I bought my 1998 E430 I took it to the nearest fast lube place for an emissions inspection. They wrote it up as being a BMW 5 series!

Fast lube places are fine for leased vehicles or company cars but not for anything you really care about.
