Post by Swansea » Fri Feb 26, pm Also, be clear about the type of oil you want. I was going to one independent shop, requesting synthetic. I would get the bill saying synthetic oil change done.
One time I asked the mechanic to tell me what brand he used in case I needed to add some, and he told me he had been using blended conventional mixed with synthetic. I was not happy.

Post by Smurf » Sat Feb 27, am Please don't take your car to these places. There are numerous threads on this site alone about the horror stories of quick change places. Take a step back and look at these replies suggesting things like marking your filter and tires, checking the oil level immediately after, etc. No way should they rotate tires either.
Do you think they put the lug nuts on at the correct torque? Do they even know what the correct torque is for your car?
No, they just spin them on there and give them a twist. Then they think did I tighten all 5 lug nuts? I can't remember. Oh well, next! Post by Traveller » Sat Feb 27, am I've found my local dealerships to be a better deal.
My Ford car goes to the ford dealership for "The Works" - inspection, oil change, rotation, fluids, etc. They've never tried to upswell me and I know they are using factory trained techs. I've never had an issue at the dealerships, but previously I've had a quick change places lose my dipstick, and strip the drainplug out of the pan and leak oil all over my garage. Post by renter » Sat Feb 27, am The only times I've been to these places is to drop off my used oil for recycling.
I can't imagine them giving a crap what oil they add to the vehicle or properly measuring the amount of oil or changing the filter, especially when they're charging so little. Only do it myself. Post by inbox » Sat Feb 27, am You get what you pay for. Even the independent mechanic isn't likely to be doing the oil changes.
It's assigned to the new kid in training at most shops, hence the horror stories. At some places, the new kid changes every other week. Some independent mechanics might do oil changes themselves, but every independent mechanic shop I've been to has some assistant doing the oil changes. Even at dealerships, don't expect fully certified mechanics doing the routine oil changes.
Post by Freddy » Tue Mar 01, am At the dealership you at least have the advantage of the tech working on the same brand of car all day long. Less chance of a screwup. Still, never any guarantee of good service unless you do it yourself. Post by testing » Tue Mar 01, pm I have been using various Valvoline outlets for many years with no problem.
You just sit in the car while they do the work. The oil change is a loss leader and thus a good deal. They usually recommend a new air filter, but I follow the maintenance schedule 30, miles and do it myself.
I also replace the cabin air filter myself 15, miles , which is real easy on some cars. Don't neglect this. Valvoline gives you a sticker to place on the window which recommends your next oil change in 3, miles.
Ignore that and follow the maintenance schedule 7, miles for my car. Went to take off my snow tires yesterday and put on the all-seasons and I couldn't get one of the lugs off. Took it to the place around the corner, come to find out that Jiffy Lube completely stripped the lug when they rotated my tires a few weeks ago along with an oil change and annual inspection - had to have the lug cut off and replaced.
Of course they didn't mention it to me at the time. I've been going to the dealer who has been offering specials on the oil changes and have been very satisfied, takes a little longer but seems like they do a better job.
