Javad:

I did not say, infer or intuit that you had a bad experience.

I shared with you the fact that many -- as in dozens -- of q-listers over
the six or so years that I have been a part of this forum have told bitter
tales of woe involving Jiffy Lube and quickie places like it.  You go in for
a $19.95 oil change and come out with an engine that blows up a mile down
the freeway. (Oops, forgot to put in new oil.  Oops, forgot to properly
tighten the oil filter.  Oops, put on another oil filter because the
appropriate filter was out of stock.  Oops, tore up the underside of the car
because the lift plates were not placed properly under the car.  Oops . . .
You get the idea.)

For all I know, Abraham Lincoln worked at Jiffy Lube before he went to law
school.  I'm not saying that everyone has had or will have a bad experience.
I sincerely hope that you don't.
