I quit going to Jiffy Boob type places a few years ago when
they put an oversized filter on a Honda I owned at the time.

The next morning going to work the filter blew off, dumping
the whole load on the street.

I learned my lesson.

I like a vehicle that you don't have to jack up to change the oil

Oh yeah, definetely a lot of clearance under the front of a W123. I can't even remove the encapsulation panels from my W124 without jacking the car up.

Any of you have a problem with this statement, I really don't care. I don't take my Mercedes to Jiffy Lube. I'd pay the $45 and go to my local Mercedes-Benz Center or trusted Indipendent. If it bothers you having a filter made in India, have the filter changed, but don't change the oil. I'm sure the oil is okay. Just make sure they don't knock a hose off, or strip a nut or leave off a gasket when they put your stuff back together.

Completely agree

I can do the oil on my W126 without jacking it up. No offense but why would you ever bring a car you care about to those idiots? Its not will they screw something up its when.

Jiffy Lube and their counterparts just got their butts busted on Primetime Thursday. I wouldn't take my lawnmower there.
