Exactly most of the other cars that were on the lot needed either a check engine light to be addressed or needed oil and other fluid changes

Either they should change the cars more frequently or spend some money for the maintenance. To show customers a lot of cars which are not ready for operation doesn`t make any sense.

It is ridiculous if those cars are not ready for operation then ehy leave them on the lot I don’t think I should have been able to get any car especially that wrangler and not to mention the avis location i rented at say they get their cars from the airport I think I should have gone to the airport there was an oil change place near that avis that was doing a $79.99 oil change for full synthetic but I decided to let the rental company deal with maintenanceAirbrusher wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 11:16 amI don`t understand Avis???Lauderdalerick wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 4:26 am

I think you did right. It`s not your job to pay $79.99 for an oil change on top of the rental rate. I simply would avoid this location in future. Or even better I`d avoid Avis if possible. There are sufficient competitors available doing better maintenance.Lauderdalerick wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 11:23 am
