Air filter and damaged door. That would probably ruin my month... Good luck with the situation man

Hope these work as Dropbox has been awkward lately:

Yes, I know it badly needs new tires as well, but I guess I'll see if the insurance does something silly like totaling it over the damage before doing that.

Still on the fence of what to do with Jiffy Lube. Not sure if it's even worthwhile to call corporate. Most likely they'll credit the $20 for the oil change, or offer free service, of which I don't want. Gonna head over to Auto Zone tomorrow and pick up a new filter at least.

Ask them to see the video to see if there was an air filter. If there isn't one I would call corporate . Think about the others you will keep them from scamming if they are indeed crooked .

Oh man I would honestly never go to jiffy lube. My buddy worked at one and he always had stories of people there doing things like forgetting to fill the damn car with oil...

Looks like it is time to enter the car in a demolition derby, or some nice dirt track beater racing....

Wipe the intake tube after the filter with a white towel; if it picks up a lot of dirt then probably there was no filter installed.

Yeah, we get a few tow-ins every now and then from people who got their cars "serviced" at Jiffy Lube. Wrong oil, over-filled, no crush washer on the drain plugs, etc. I wouldn't trust those guys any further than I could throw them.

They just hire people who are young and really don't know what they're doing. They don't pay attention and forget stupid things like after you fill a car with oil, check to make sure the dipstick is reading "full." Make sure you put the drain plug back on. Make sure the oil cap is on. Make sure you don't drop something metal in the valve cover, etc...all of these are stories I've heard.

There were some leaves, but barely any dirt. A very thin coating, but that was it.
