Back when I was growing up David Horowitz used to do a Fight Back segment on KNBC. I'm glad that there are consumer advocates that still do investigative reporting.
I never do any of these flushes or extra type things, save filter replacements and only after many many many miles on my vehicles. I only have 30,000 miles on my current 6 year old car and I cannot tell you how many times even the dealer service manager has tried to get me to do extras that were not covered by the "inclusive" service I prepurchased with the vehicle.
While I don't think that Jiffy Lube is the only one, Sears was also taken to court a number of years ago in California, there are still honest mechanics out there. Find them and cherish them.
