one of those chain drive thru joints stripped the pan on our Accord and the dealer wanted something like 500.00 for a new pan, cuz it is aluminum or some crap......local guy tapped it out...works for now....
Im goin back to changing my own oil after reading this....

the wife pulls into the driveway one day after an oil change at jiffy lube , smoke billowing out from under the hood , i open the hood they did not put the oil fill cap back on i was lucky the cap had fallen off to the side and it did not get lost but what a stinking mess under the hood i realize they don't hire brain surgeons but come on , at least i should be happy they put the oil in

If anyone ever has this happen to them I believe they make an oversized bolt for a lot of cars that self taps and gives you a nice new hole in the oilpan.

It don't work for crap. The only shot at repairing it is to get a helicoil kit and drill and tap to the helicoil size, threadlock the coil in and install new drain plug and check closely for leaks. Other than that, r&r the pan, don't f' around with a chance of loosing the drain plug or you'll need a motor.

I have a Jeep dealers contract for a number of lubes for my Jeep Wrangler. I thought it was a good deal at the time, BUT...Lawless Jeep in Woburn MA is servicing my vehicle and after having the oil changed and the vehicle lubed I noticed that the grease fittings were never touched. I asked the mechanic who was serviceing the jeep why it was never greased - his answer was that the lube service does not include greasing it. The dealers idea of a lube job is to change the oil period! They do not check any fluid levels or even the tire pressure. I complained to the service writer and he told me that the jeep doesn't have grease fittings. I have a few coupons left and every time I go to the garage to have the vehicle serviced, I try and watch to see how much I have to complete to keep the jeep in good shape. This dealer is worse than the Jiffy guys.
