Grandma should be able to go to the service station and get the oil changed right and the only thing she should be concerned about is price, customer service, and relative quality of the job... NOT if the job will be done correctly at all.
You should report them to the BBB. Even if BBB does nothing, it'll be on their record.

I'm sorry, but you totally overreacted to the situation. They didn't have the oil you wanted in stock, fine. Leave and go elsewhere or fucking do it yourself. Lesson learned. There was absolutely no reason for you to stand in the middle of their place of business and bitch like you did. You just make yourself out to look like a complete prick complaining about a service you couldn't do yourself.

Well listen to this bullshit... my wifes best friend has a Elantra with a full kit and 17's, so it sits really low. The oill change was over and the dude was reving the motor...cause it had an exhaust and he was retarded I guess. So my wife, her Friend, and I stand outside looking at the idiot pull off the ramp and watch as the car runs over the front of the bumper as the car slams down and crushes fiberglass everywhere
. I couldn't believe what I had just saw...our friend started crying and cussing at the mechanic. The manager chuckled and I was like
"Oh that shits really funny isn't it" "Congratulations you bought a new bumper" Long story short it took 3 weeks for them to mail her a check. Stock bumper came in handy FTW
