I find it amusing that two different MSCs are doing the same Jiffy Lubes in my area. One pays $5 plus reimbursement up to $40, and the other pays $40 flat and gives you a $20 off coupon, making the oil change $20 and I get to pocket $20. Hmmm. Which one do I go with every single month since I am averaging 3500 miles a month with this job. Hmmm.
That said....
Every single time I go they tell me I need a new cabin air filter. Every single time I say yes. And every single time they don't have it in stock, but can have it there in a couple of hours, or the next day, or add designated ETA here. It's not like I have an unusual car. It's a Kia, and it's a 2008, so it's pretty common. Oh, and when I ask about it, suddenly it's not that important, and it can wait until my next visit.
I finally looked up how to replace that filter, took the old one out, and vacuumed it. Now it's clean, and perfect. Let's see if they notice.
