[QUOTE=LitespeedRider;1318763]For just an oil change? Heck, I get the oil in my Mercedes changed at WalMart! They have a $89 "Synthetic" oil change. This includes 8.5qts of Mobil 1 0-40...Fram filter and labor.
If I was to purchase the oil it is $8.99qt at WalMart - $11.99qt at AutoZone...this is after all "just" an oil change by an ASE mechanic...the whole thing at WalMart is less than the price of the oil (and I watch them pour in the Mobil1).

Hi, amazing what can happen with Car Dealers or ??
Years ago, I made a few bucks with friends, we would drive used cars from So. Cal to a Ford Dealer in Salt Lake City. SLC dealer would come to Long Beach and buy the cars and call us to drive them. Maybe 15-20 cars at a time. So, on one trip as we arrived in SLC, the dealer met us and told us to drive the cars to a lot and put the keys under the floor mat and he would meet us at a local walk-able Restaurant and get dinner for us, give us our money and bus fare home. Sounds good? My good friend Bob Barnes was a real rough and tumble guy, he saw the trick coming and told the dealer to pay us now and to give us the money for dinner as promised. Dealer refused and told us to drive the cars to the lot or get out of town. Bob grabbed him by the shirt and in no uncertain terms, told him, give us the money agreed to or you spend a few days in the hospital. We got the money and refused to drive for him anymore.
bbbbbb Fun and games, growing up.
