This must be a new one... my F-150 just killed the lift at the local Jiffy Lube!

They tried to lift it up to do a tire rotation, but it burned out the pump motor on their lift- too heavy!

Before anyone flames me for going there in the first place, it's a fleet vehicle and I have a limited choice if places to go for service.

 

dang! these things must be pretty damn heavy

 

Last time i went to a Jiffy Lube, I owned a Ranger, had them do the "additional" tire rotation........they broke off one of the lugs.
I feel better knowing you broke their lift.....

 

Reasons I wont go to places like that....

1998- Firestone Service- Mother took her 96 Windstar in for allignment, car returned to us rideing like hell. Took van to ford dealer to have dealer tell us most of the front suspension was broken and it looked as if the van had been droped from about 5 feet off the ground. YEP, THEY DROPED IT OFF THE LIFT AND NEVER TOLD US!!!! Needless to say Firestone service center picked up a over $3000 repair bill from the dealer.

1999- Speedy (Now called Monrow Service)- Left oil cap off 91 F-150 and lost atleast a qt. by the time I got home.

2001- Another Firestone location- 97 ranger missing oil cap theses morons, Im suprised they put oil back in it.

2003- Tuffy Service- 1997 Ranger- I had broke my leg and messed up the other one on the job and my truck really needed a oil change so my mother though it was a good idea to take it to tuffy (I still don't know why. I was not driving it with a broken leg so it was sitting so it could have waited). Anyways they decided to do a rotation also and I recived the truck back with 3 scratched rims, 2 missing lugnuts and one busted stud.

Ya, a pissed off dude with 2 busted legs in bairly walking with a walker yelling in there waiting room did not look good for buisness. Two solid weeks of argueing and threating a law suit finally got them to replace my wheels, lugs and busted studs.

Since then, none of the cars and trucks my family owns has been serviced by these damn chain places. Most of the people who work at them are high school dropouts that dont know the diffrences between there left foot and a camshaft.

Gonna add that one to the vocabulary list. Dad uses to say "they didn't know their *** from page 8 in the catalog"

I want to go to one with someone elses car and see what happens :P j/k. man, I never thought they were like that. drop a car from 5ft off a lift and not say anything. dayum, they should be shot...
