YIKES!!!
I've heard stories about places like this, where they stripped the oil drain or
the drain plug, or forgot to replace the dipstick, but your's is by far the most
horrific. I ONCE took a '82 Rabbit LS I owned to a Quick-lube and after the oil
and filter were changed and everything paid for, I popped the hood to check the
oil level. I found the oil fill cap on sitting on top of the engine and the
dipstick on top of the radiator. Replaced both and went in to complain to the
manager. I was told that this happens now and then, when they get busy, but
since the car was only driven from the ramp to the parking lot - maybe 100 ft. -
there was no harm done. Essentially, he told me to bug off. Never have been
back to one since.
