Clutch Much?

Gear Head - Castleton

 

I took my car into two different Jiffy Lubes this week. The one in broad ripple on college was the worst of the two, but it was a combined effort that left the bad taste in my mouth. Neither one of the establishments could pull my car into the port because it was a manual.

 

I watched Billy, the head at the broad ripple jiffy lube stall my car twice and then get out, come over to me and tell me that there is something wrong with my clutch. I told him he was wrong and pulled the car in. He then refused any service on my transmission because the clutch was bad and I could sue him. Ok you don't want to do it, i'll leave and never come back.

 

The Jiffy Lube on 82nd street flat out admitted not knowing how to drive a clutch. Asked me to pull in and proceeded to give wonderful service. Thanks.

 

Why cant people who work with a car 40 hours a week drive a manual? Why isn't it a requirement that someone on staff has this knowledge?

 

If you don't know your screws from your nuts but know how to drive a stick, you'll be one up on the gear heads at jiffy lube.

Amen! I guess people are too lazy to drive a stick anymore. My truck is a stick and I consider that an anti theft device! My highschool age daughter can drive a stick. In a class at school, the teacher asked how many of the kids could drive a stick and my daughter was the only one to raise her hand....
