that makes me nervous, cuz I started going to JL because I had a bad experience at a Toyota service dept.

My very first oil change after I bought it, I brought in my box to the Toyota dealer that I bought it from for the free oil change. I was in and out in about an hour. I leave, run a few errands (spanning about 40 miles) then returned home. Next morning I back my car out of the garage and there was an oil spot about 20". I reached under the car and found the drain plug not even hand tight!!! Loose as a goose I tell you! I grab a wrench, tighten it, add oil, drive to the dealership, showed the service advisor who helped me before a photo of the oil spot, and demanded that the undercarrage be thouroghly cleaned of any oil and to have all the work rechecked by a different technician. Angry I was. She was apologetic and offered me another free oil chage, after my initial free ones were used.

Second oil change, I decided to give that Dealership another shot, since the service advisor was really cool, and the loose drain plug from the previous incident was not her fault. I pull in around 3:30pm, I knew it was late in the afternoon so I was not sure I would get serviced that day. The same advisor told me that they can squeeze me in so I thought, cool! no more than 10 minutes later, she comes out and says that her boss told her they couldn't take anymore cars that day, which meant mine. That was the last straw. I'm sorry, but when you promise a customer something and don't adhere to it, that not right. boo to you, I 10 Toyota/Scion

Damn, now I gotta worry about JL?!?!? Guess the next thing I buy for the car will be a jack!
