I know the horrors.. the trick is finding the *right* Quickie Lube.. 
Julie took her car to the one just down the street, and they proceeded to 
do everything backwards.. including changing her air filter (at $10 or 
$15?) when she didn't want it changed ('85 Civic).. 

So I went to the OTHER Quickie Lube farther down the street.. ;-)  They 
were the ones that told me my clutch pedal-lever-rod-thingy was missing 
the cotter key and about to slide off it's pivot post.  I also felt 
better when the kid recognized a Scout II in the lot, and used to have one.
