> [@05OrangeSS](#): > > I guess not being a dick to the lube guys has it’s perks… Would you call it being a dick to ask these questions? Why do you charge me $2 for “lube” when you did not put one drop of grease on the car? There are no fittings to lube. I watched the work and they did not oil the door or hood hinges. Why does an oil change now cost $90? The price seems to change each time. Sometimes it actully goes down, then up again next time. Example: 8/04 $56.78, 6/05 $46.79, 8/06 $52.98. ---

Well usually I bring what they need(6 qts and the $8 filter lol), and the wonderful guys there just change the oil and filter, no questions asked usually for free…so it costs me like $40 for an oil change instead of like $80. ---

The reason for the difference is that the people there jack up the price of Mobil 1(to $9 a quart)…just do exactly what I do. Bring the exact amount of oil and filter, and even if they do charge you(which owning a vette, Im assuming they will :)) it’s like $10 for the labor… ---

well, first day was today. things went really well, all i really do is unscrew drain plugs, let oil drain, replace the drain plug, and put a new filter on, and thats it. i was there from 8 am to 2 pm today and 3 of us did like 20-30 cars, and they said that was a busy day for them. still seemed like i spent a lot of time standing around and doing nothing though.
