Its sad to see how far oil changes have fallen
So I tell him what I want and go in the waiting room. They ask for my name. Then my last name. Then my address and phone number
You don't need it I say.
We can't do the work if we don't have it (not so clever marketing ploy by some fuck head at Valvoline HQ)
I go its 1234 Your Street Anytown USA
Now the guy behind the desk wants to fight. This is a specialty of mine. Getting people to want to kill me.
I'm ready to LEAVE so he somehow gets the computer to set the job.
Chick comes in with my dirty air filter that they took our back and rubbed in the dirt (ask Swaye). I say fine put a new one in. 25 dollars she says. I start laughing and so does she.
I get out of there for 150 bucks for a 60 dollar job at most places. I tell them of the only one chance to make a first impression theory of business and that they failed miserably.
I hate people. People hate me. Circle of life

I stopped going to the bull shit grease monkeys years ago for this very reason. Been working with 3 different Toyota service departments now and even though base price is a bit higher (say $60) for 5000 mile service, the CS is fine and they haven't once tried to sell me some shit I didn't need.RaceBannon said:Stopped in at a Valvoline joint to get an oil change. Get out of the car to talk and the kid tells me its a drive through and I need to get back in the car. I laugh at him and stand there and say let's talk about what I want and I don't want to sit in my car for 15 minutes when its 95 out. The tech behind him starts laughing.

I live near a river, so it's easy to dispose of my used oil when I change my own. Who the fuck pays people to do your manly stuff like oil changes. Race, I'm surprised at you. You of all people, with The Depression and all

If you're paying $60 for an oil change, just go to the dealership

I hate dealerships too though. I like the impulse buy of an oil change at these shit placesAZDuck said:If you're paying $60 for an oil change, just go to the dealership

Which is it? You like the impulse buy or you hate it? I'm just trying to figure out the narrative.RaceBannon said:

Last time I got my oil changed the faggot employee pretty much tried to upsell me on all their bullshit super duper TUFF oil that prevents your car from contracting AIDS and shit. They warned me the horrors of what could happen if I don't get this holy grail oil. I said no I'm going to have lunch. Get a call at lunch about this and that could cause a problem but for $120 we can give it a heat flush and then for an extra $35 we can even run this other bullshit premium liquid through it to make my car run AWESOME!!
When I finally got back he was talking some other dipshit about the super duper oil word for word what he said to me.
I seriously hate people. Wish everything could just die.

7.5L of 10w60 Castrol TWS or Amsoil 5w50 + Mahle filter = $120 Wholesale.
9L of 5w40 Castrol or Euroblend Amsoil 5w40 + Mahle filter = $110 Wholesale.
That's just parts. Sounds like you guys drive turds. @Dennis_DeYoung in the Mas gets it....maybe the @thechatch as well.

I do all my own work. I refuse to let idiots touch my stuff. Only time they get me is when it's something with the computers that I can't do.

I might be old enough but I can clean out my computer too. It's just a personal thing. I don't trust most oil change places. Lot's of crooks and untrained morons.Pitchfork51 said:

Do it yourself. Amsoil once every 24 months, 36 months for a diesel. High capacity filter. Lucas Synthetic Stabilizer.
One F&M washable filter. It amounts to like $50 a year and you never have to worry. You will find Jimmy Hoffa before your engine ever leaks. -

My favorite is when I call and schedule an appointment in advance, show up on time, leave my car there for an hour while I walk to a restaurant to have breakfast, and then come back to see that they haven't even touched my car yet.
