A Tale of the WORST Auto Body Shop
Dec 31 '00
My tale begins with my friend telling me she would love to buy my Lexus
ES 300 whenever I was ready to sell it. Finally I was ready to upgrade
to the Lexus SC400 and I called her. She was thrilled to buy my old car
and we worked out the numbers and everyone was happy.
The day she was to pick up the car just hours later the air conditioner
died in it (we live in AZ....NOT a good thing to have no air). She
decided to take the car to our local Jiffy Lube to have it repaired and
I offered to split the cost with her.
She takes the car there and they tell her it's not a big deal...it was
just low on freon...they fill it up and she's on her way.
Two weeks later she has no air!!! She goes back to Jiffy Lube and they
tell her something else is broken and it will cost approximately $500
to fix. Fine....we agree to have it fixed and we split the cost....
Two weeks later she has no air!!! She goes back to Jiffy Lube and they
tell her something else is broken and it will cost approximately $500
to fix it. We check with some other local auto repair guys who say the
ONLY way this second thing could be broken is if the first broken thing
was installed improperly. Of course Jiffy Lube denies this and we have
it fixed.
Two weeks later she has no air!!!! We go back to Jiffy Lube and they now
tell us they can't figure out what the problem is. We take it to the local Lexus dealer who doesn't want to touch it because Jiffy Lube has
messed it up so badly.
We find another local repair shop who specializes in foreign cars and he
says he thinks he can repair what Jiffy Lube has screwed up.
After MANY MANY phone calls to Jiffy Lube they agree to reimburse the
new guy for whatever it might cost to fix the air conditioning...
The new guy has no problem repairing it.....and Jiffy Lube to this date
still has not paid him.....
Two rules to be learned here...
1. Never sell a car to a friend
2. NEVER go to Jiffy Lube
