Some new channel ran a special report in some jiffy lube location, they charge the customer for some service/part and they never perform the repair/work on it.
The funny part is, the manager refuse to admit who he is

two stories i know of about jiffy lube.
1) my teacher used to work for jiffy lube. they used to just drain the oil and refill it. they would then wipe clean the oil filter to make it look new and charge you for it. they'll do an oil "change" in less then 2 minutes.
2) my cousin was at a jiffy lube having her oil change. they recomemded she get her air filter replaced. she agreed. she watched them do the service to her car. she notices that the guy removes the old filter and place it off to the side. he comes back later and puts the air filter he just took out back in the airbox. my cousin confronts them about what she just saw. manager said he'll take care of it. takes them 30 minutes to finally get a new filter. obviously they ran out to the parts store to get a new one.

It's like taking it to wal-mart. The guys work there aren't mechanics. They're so called tire busters. No special skill required. Kinda like you and me, they were showed a few times how to change the oil, a few practise cars, maybe YOUR s2000 and they work there.Oil change is the most easiest maintenance on a car. You should be able to do it yourself. Besides, why spend $20 on top of your $50 for the oil, when doing it yourself is so much more satisfying..
But to answer your question, I wouldn't. Imagine the positive advertising it would be for people to walk by and see an S2000 in the bay

Jiffy lube?!? i think pulling off the filter and plugging the hole with gum, then filling the engine with bleech is safer than lettin those asshats work on our car...
