After reading some of the other stories here on Stupidity at it's finest, I
have a really good one...
Well maybe.......
About 12 years ago I worked at a local Sears Auto Center as a Tire salesman,
we had a guy come in with a 2 year old (at the time) Cadillac Coupe
Deville for 2 new tires and a thrust angle alignment.
The Tech in charge of performing the work forgot to let the alignment Rack
down before attempting to back the Caddy OFF the rack. Luckily it wasn't my
sale at the time and I wasn't directly involved with that one. that Caddy
was seriously Damaged on that act of forgetfulness.
The shop also had a history of cars lost off the rack while being serviced,
the fall of a 2 ton car or truck to the ground from 6-7 feet on it's side
will really scare the Hell out of you if your anywhere close to
it!..........
Ouch my hearing!..........what you say?........set the rack under the frame,
NOT the suspension?

While I can't mention which one it was...it's definitely from one in Austin,
TX.
Had a 2005 Durango come in to the shop yesterday afternoon (5.7L Hemi -
Loaded) with an oil leak and slight "ticking".
Last oil change sticker was from a Jiffy Lube (very recent at that). Here's
the kicker..."Factory Installed" stamped on the MOPAR oil filter with plier
marks all over it (and a small hole due to the plier marks). Guess what
happened...they couldn't get the oil filter off so they just drained the oil
and refilled (leaving the factory installed filter on the vehicle).
Hehehehe..."someone's" buying a new motor and someone who worked there is
gonna get fired over that. ;)
This wouldn't be the first time I've seen crap like this from Jiffy Lube
either.
