Warning: My lakeside trip oil change led to transmission trouble.

The shop put in fluid that was not right for my car.

Check your paperwork first, Ellis.Finley, because chain shops usually get the fluid right if you verify it.

I used to trust those places, but stories like Dave's really changed my mind.

My cousin's car had the same thing happen after a chain shop visit, just like @ellis.finley said.

My buddy Dave had his SUV's transmission flushed at one of those chain shops last year. They used regular fluid instead of the special kind his car required. It started jerking between gears on the highway within a week. He had to pay another mechanic nearly a thousand bucks to fix it, with a new filter too. Such a stupid mistake that cost him big time.
