I think "Nothing Good" is probably correct, someone with a bit more guru in
them could probably list specifics.
For the record, however, I once took my car to a Jiffy Lube quick oil
change place for an oil change. I'd been getting very infrequent times when
my parking brake light on the dash would light up briefly at speed.
I asked them to check. They couldnt. They told me that state law (This
is ohio) wouldn't allow oil change places to do any brake work, as,
apparently, at some point, someone had filled up the brake lines with 30
weight, and mayhem ensued. He recommended I take it to the garage down the
street. (Which I did, it was a bad light switch in the parking brake
handle.)
