I go to a drive through place near where I work, it is $65 for a 3 gallon oil change. They check all the fluids, the tire pressure and do a quick wear check on things like brakes and hoses.

Politicians are like diapers, they should be changed often and for the same reason.

If nothing else go to Pep Boys or someplace similar, it is really hard to screw up an oil change. I always get mine changed because I don't want to deal with the waste oil.



Nope. I had quick lube place somehow dump oil in my alternator once. Two hundred and fifty bucks later, I was wishing I had gone somewhere else. There are tons of horror stories about those places, not getting the drain plug tight, forgetting to put an oil filter back in, etc. Those guys are making minimum wage and rushed like hell. It's best just to go to a regular mechanic or do it yourself.



Yep. I will never go to one again. They cost me a new car
I just go to my mechanic now.

Bonk fell for the Jiffy Lube scam. The 19.99 oil change gets you in there, then they come at you with a list of all of the other stuff you 'need'. It's a scam. Just take it to the dealer. It's ten bucks more, their technicians are well paid and knowledgeable, and you get much better service.



bwahahahahahaha

thats the funniest thing ive ever heard

Yep went to Jiffy Lube. Thats the last time I will go there. I will change my oil and the other fuids from now on and get it lubed once a year or so

Dealers are even a bigger ripoff than Jiffy Lube
