with the other posts here on these quick lube, minimum wage, minimum age, shops..........
I once went to a local Jiffy Lube (at the advise of another Corvette owner who said they were great) here in my neck of the woods to find the kid trying to close my hood with his dirty, greasy paws, with the hood arm still in locked position........he did not know he had to release the elbow in the middle before closing the hood....thank God I was watching, but he still bent the hood arm, nearly cracking the hood as he placed pressure on it.......they ended up buying a used arm from a local Corvette parts place (which was in good shape). Fortunately, I also had the whole car repainted years later w/a new hood since it's orginal paint was about done, so all is well now........
Stay away from the kids learning on your Vette.......

Ya, Ive definitely learned my lesson, If I am to lazy to change my own oil in the future I will take it some place I trust with a confident staff.
windsheild had some scuffs and scratches in it before so as long as they pay up, I will come out ahead.

Jiffy Lube / Valvoline = oil change only
Anything else
That includes closing the hood since I've seen them screw that up.
And they do not pull the car in or out. If they don't agree, leave.
