The Moscow jiffylube has three sale coupons in one of the mailbox
advertising collections this week, so I clipped out a couple of
them and drove down there.<br>
<br>
Things have changed. This little two-bay oil change place had
eight people working there, and as much hustle going on as Les
Schwab during summer-to-winter tire swap days. Yes, your vehicle
does get serviced faster.<br>
<br>
They also have a new business and pricing model. Keep at least
one hand on your wallet or purse at all times, and pay attention
to the interview questions they ask with their hands on the
keyboard for their new billing program. Not only does your car
get serviced, but so could your $ & ¢ container.<br>
<br>
Non-coupon prices appear higher, and with twice as many people
working simultaneously, that's no surprise.<br>
