Hi all, I’m here with a tale as old as time:
- Went in to a Jiffy Lube (SURPRISE!) for an oil change. They fiddle around for a bit and clearly something ain’t right.
- They inform me that, sorry sir, we inadvertently drained your transmission fluid. Do not turn your car on.
- They’re unable to get the right Subaru CVT juices because it’s a Sunday, and they’ll have to wait until tomorrow to get it from a dealer and perform the work.
- They’re comping the oil change (obviously) and my Ubers home from the shop and to pick it up, thankfully I work from home and won’t really need the car during this time but it’s still a PITA.
- I recorded the conversations and have the number of the manager on duty and her boss
- The manager gal informed me that they don’t typically do Subaru transmission fluid stuff because it’s so hard to get the right fluid quickly. I asked if it was something they were capable of doing in house, and she said yes definitely not out of their wheelhouse (inspires confidence given the mistake in the first place.)

Before they actually start the work tomorrow I want to make sure I’m setting everyone involved up for success, shit happens.

Questions:
- How big of a goof is this, and what are the risks?
- Should I have them NOT perform the work and instead demand a tow to the dealership for them to perform the work, or is it really not that deep?
- If they perform the work, should I ask them to also cover a dealership inspection of the work to make sure everything was done “by the book?”
- Any other liabilities I need to be concerned with?

My main thing is, as of right now, this is a hundreds of dollars mistake for them, and a somewhat minor inconvenience for me (any other issues notwithstanding, I’m coming out ok with a free oil change for about 2hrs of inconvenience so far). I want to ensure that this doesn’t turn into a thousands and thousands of dollar mistake for them and a major major inconvenience for me if it gets messed up.

Thoughts? Advice?

Hi all!

I've got an Olympus OM-1 that I picked up in February. It came with a fish eye lens that I'm wanting to bring along to do some shooting at parties, car meets, etc. I don't have a flash for it and am weighing my options.

What I'm looking for:

Looking for something compact/very portable
Ideally looking for something that I can angle/bounce with - I've seen that a lot of these "straight on" flashes run into a red eye problem which ideally I'd like to avoid. Maybe it's not that big of a deal.

What I'm struggling with:

I'm not certain on compatibility with my camera. I'm attaching a pic of the hot shoe, I think it's referred to as "hot shoe 1." I think the camera also has a "PC Port" on it as well, if that helps with compatibility.
I'm reading forums and such and am finding that apparently there's a modern Olympus OM-1 as well; when looking at MODERN flashes (not the originals that Olympus originally released, for example) - it's unclear to me if people are saying that they're recommending them for the new OM-1 or the original OM-1.

My shortlist of research items so far, with pros and cons:

Godox Lux Junior
- Pros: Looks cool, nice vintage styling, compact, seems like it'd be strong enough for most of what I'd be doing
- Cons: Can't angle/bounce off a ceiling or something to avoid red eye
Olympus T20
- Pros: basically the OG; compact, manual mode seems straightforward on it as well
- Cons: can't bounce (yet again)
Olympus T32:
- Pros: can angle/bounce; stronger flash capabilities
- Cons: much larger
Godox iT32: (this is one I can't tell if it'd work or not, or which of the little wireless hotshoe mounts I'd need)
- Pros: Compact, can easily yank off-camera if wanted; angle-able, price is pretty good with all the features, too I think!
- Cons: Not sure the "manual" mode on it would be easy for me to manage - the pros of those others is the little "charts" that show you distance, power, aperture, etc. on-the-fly - everything on my camera is manual so, while this one looks great for my uses, I imagine it's really made for digital

Any thoughts or insights here? Any resources I should check out? Any choices I'm missing that are of a compact form factor, and bounce-able?

Thanks!

Went in for oil change on my Outback, they inadvertently drained the transmission
