<VV> Jiffy Lube Scam - scams in general

[John Kepler]

How would you remove a seized spark plug?  Would you charge the same 
amount of time as a plug that comes out easily?
Fair is fair. Time is money. Your friend wanted something for nothing. 
Doesn't sound fair to me.

Does to me!

Removing a "corroded" sparkplug is common enough that a competent wrench
SHOULD be able to remove it without having to pull the head!  It's simply a
method that the "less-than-scrupulous" flat-rater uses to pad a bill!  FWIW,
THIS former flat-rater uses anti-seize on ALL plugs, AND uses a torque
wrench set at the proper value (17 ft-lbs) to install them!  This eliminates
the "problem" from occurring in the first place!
