Oil changes

If you plan on taking your car to these quickie places stay sway FROM STS on county line road in Jackson. Our daughter had hers done there and they didn't put the oil cap on right, duh. She lost all her oil in 3 weeks and stopped using her car when the oil light came on. Had it towed to dealer. She checked her dipstick and nadda, no oil left. Good thing she did that or her quickie oil change would have cost her a new engine.
Those lights go on for a reason and they are called idiot lights. When one blinks don't disregard it but have it checked out.
So stay away from STS on county line road in Jackson. I know there are other places that are pretty good but you should always check it when done.
Tip for younger drivers, always check when you pull out of a space and see if any spots on ground left by your car.

most dealerships now have 30 min oil changes and are only 2 or 3 bucks more but it's worth it for piece of mind! I have heard way tooooo may of those stories including not putting the drain pain screw back in or cracking the pan....
