Good mechanics do repair work, the oil changers wash cars and keep the shop floor clean.
Agree and most have turnover and little training process starts all over?

And some (not all) don’t check level oil after that change it and over fill it which I have experienced several times at dealer, trust but verify IMO. Why I change my own oil now. Last time I had my oil changed at dealership here they over filled it by 3/4 of quart. My car holds 4.2 quarts and they dumped in 5 quarts probably using the spigot pump out of 55 gallon drum of cheapest oil the could could buy? If I got to crawl under car and drain out overfilled oil change I just well do it my self.
