Is The Tire Choice a good place to go for an oil change?

What place would you recommend?

Another issue is coupons: I had a dealer coupon for a $19.95 oil change. But by the time they added the disposal fee and taxes etc. it came to $26.41. Previously, when I used a $19.95 coupon it would only come to a total of about $20. So I learned that you have to read them carefully because they're not all the same.

The complaint issue: When you complain about service, is it a good or bad idea to ever go back to the same place again?
Many people on this site, including myself, have had bad experiences at Tire Choice. I would strongly recommend that people stay away.

As far as oil changes go, I just check to make sure that they have used 100% vegetable oil. Anything else your pipes could get all clogged up.
