The few bucks more that an oil change may cost at your local mechanic will be money well spent; he won't try to get you to pay for unneeded repairs. And there won't be any screw-ups like the "quick change' artists have done to my car like not changing the air filter that I paid for and not tightening the oil drain plug all the way... I wouldn't trade our mechanic for the world. Our local shop has always been fair and honest and I've NEVER had any problems with their work! Best of luck!  |
Great advice, this is what we do also. Nothing like a good honest local mechanic that explains and shows you everything and doesn't take you to the cleaners.
