Default To each their own. I would never, never go to Jiffy Lube with a sports car. My >

beater yes. I still get out and watch them do all the work. You get what you pay for at Jiffy Lube.
Wanna-be mechanics IMO.

That's the one, but it does cover up some things that look important

Default learned my lesson a long time ago...

went there and they put the wrong oil filter on my car. I left and got to the first red light and on take off the oil filter blew off and the oil sprayed all over the engine and undercarriage...a thirty minute oil change turned into a 5 hour ordeal to get towed and steam clean and new oil filter...lesson learned the hard way.

First and foremost I doubt they have OEM AUDI /VW filters- that's kills the deal right there.

Default Those kind of mistakes NEVER happen at the dealer... :)

There's no reason not to take a standard vehicle to Jiffy Lube.

On the other hand, TT's are not standard.
