Don't fool yourself. Plenty of low quality businesses survive and even do well. Jiffy Lube managers are well trained when it comes to selling additional expensive parts such as new wiper blades. They even showed me that my differential oil was "dirty" and needed to be changed. I had done that less than 10k miles before.
