We have a friend who owns an independent auto repair shop right across the street from a J***Y LUBE. He has a new source of income since they opened. He rethreads stripped drain plugs for them, probably 2 to 3 each week.

The best story, some idiot with a vintage Alfa took it to JL for an oil change. Don't know what the guy was thinking, but they never replaced the drain plug. He started the car up and got about 200' when the engine seized. Let's just say that they were not happy when the owner gave them the bill for an engine rebuild.

The last person I'd check for an opinon is one of those guys/gals.
