I take my vehicle to a decent VW shop when I'm too lazy, too rich
or too clumsy to work on it myself, frankly for the time it takes to go
through an oilchanger including a wait in line, I can do it myself
and make sure it's done properly, not to mention know the quality
of the filter and rest assured that all is tightend etc. As bonus you
are guaranteed that someone who gives a rip and maybe has a little skill
has looked over the motor for at least a couple seconds so anything
obvious has a chance of being spotted.

John.....That'd TICK me off, too. You might want to
educate these fools when you pull into the oil-change
place or even to your favorite VW mechanic and let
them know what has been happening! Then, they break
'em, they fix 'em! That'd be what I'd do; just to CYA.
Hope that works and hope it helps. That's why I do ALL
my own oil changes now; last time I went into the
Valvoline Station (supplied my own oil and filter) the
V'gon leaked a lot of oil.....like drip, drip, drip! I
got underneath and tightened the oil filter. It was
screwed on by hand and just left hanging there; the
morons! I decided it is better to take the time
myself, even if I don't have any time to spare, and it
sure beats being P*SSED off! My 2sense worth!
