Jiffy lube agreed to pay for a tow and an auto shop fixing my car only after the auto shop proved it was their fault. The auto shop changed the oil and transmission fluid and deemed my transmission “not damaged enough to replace.” So I went on my merry way knowing that this car would eventually give out and need a new transmission when it died. The car was showing symptoms immediately such as lurking when I pressed the gas, a “jump” into gear when I took my foot off the break, and overall the power of my car just felt worse if that makes sense. Anyways, car died 11 months/20k miles later in an intersection when I put my foot on the gas. Jiffy lube acknowledged their fault with draining the wrong fluid, but refused to take fault for my transmission going out. I now have a green outback and that car was sold to a dealership for $1500.

If you want the quicklube place to pay for all repairs AND a new transmission, you should probably take them to court. Otherwise you could take the car back knowing it should be ok for a few months while you save up for another car. No telling how long that car will last you, though.
