His best bet would be to go to the same Jiffy lube of sorts everytime for oil changes that way should something go wrong he can make the case it was them and that he's been going there for say 2 years getting his oil change done at XXXX miles. I only bring it up because from my experience often times older people like interacting with people one on one so it's something that could work, but if he's not the type then he really has no choice but to gamble everytime. I know it's a lot of work, and you said your neighbor is old so he may not be up for it. That's the only sure way of knowing it'll be done right and you'll be taken care of. Build a relationship with him and just have him do the oil change afterhours or something and pay him cash. It's important to be able to get to the shop bay doors because you can interact with the guy doing the work. Maybe go to said shop a few times, and get to know the mechanic(s). I'd go to a shop where you can easily access the shop bay doors. If you really want the best experience you'll have to commit a lot of time into it. At the end of the day going to a reputable shop of sorts, whether it's a chain or a dealership is probably your best bet, since you can hold them accountable to some degree or another should something go wrong. Typically for the latter type of guys drugs and alcohol is involved though it seems like a lot of younger employees smoke weed nowdays.
These guys are typically fresh, with no experience and might eventually move up in the automotive repair world, but remember they have no experience at this point and are often young, or they've been at this for like 7 years and quite frankly are as dumb as a rock.
What you have to understand is that changing oil and rotating tires takes minimal skill so the guys doing this kind of work are often minimum wage workers, maybe $1-2 above minimum wage. I used to work at a dealership mostly doing diagnostics, I initially started as quick lube so I got to see the that goes on there. I'm sure often times the truth gets bent a little because the victim making the post is trying to get more attention pushing his agenda. Please check with your local Jiffy Lube ® service center for specific services offered.Theres horror stories about everything. Not all services are offered at each Jiffy Lube ® location. Jiffy Lube ® recommends following manufacturer recommendations, where applicable, for maintenance schedules and service intervals. HOW OFTEN:ĭifferential fluid exchange should be performed based on your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation. When the fluid breaks down or becomes contaminated, performance and longevity may be impacted. Over time, though, operating temperatures and wear can cause the fluid to break down. Lubricating fluid inside the differential transfers heat away from the gears, helping to preserve the life and performance of your differential.
Most four-wheel drive vehicles have both front and rear differentials.
HOW IT WORKS:ĭifferentials work with your transmission to deliver power from your engine to the axle that turns your wheels. Jiffy Lube ® drains the used fluid and replaces it with differential fluid that meets or exceeds your manufacturer's specifications. Like an oil change for your differential, help optimize performance and longevity of this key component with a visit to Jiffy Lube ® for a differential fluid exchange.
