I don't know how Tire Choice is still in business. I've heard so many stories of bad experiences there and had one myself. Yet, the one up by me seems to be thriving.

Be careful at Walmart , you get what you pay for! Yes it's the best price around but they forgot to tighten my oil filter twice and then said the oil leak was there before the oil change? Then my wife tells me there's noise and Sparks coming from under the car? They forgot to secure the oil pan cover properly and again blamed me? Once again you get what you pay for! I will do my own changes from now on, as the previous post mentioned always check their work for oil levels and drips!!

Phillips Buick/GMC, South on 441 in Fruitland Park.
They have a quick service building off to the right of the main garage. No appointment. Drive up; first come first served.
Oil change/lube/oil filter/air filters/rotate tires/etc.

They are very well trained...look everything up...keep you advised...very clean...competitively priced (probably lower than many others), very timely.

I have been using them since they opened several years ago.

Accurso Auto repair on Cr108 in Oxford. They are AAA approved and they do a complete check of lights,tires fluid levels etc. They only use synthetic oil so they are not the cheapest, but they are the best.

I know this is crazy but I use the Hyundai Dealer in Claremont. Nice ride, catch a nice meal at Goombas while we're down there and if anything goes wrong and it did once they will give you a loaner car. Great place to buy and get Service from.

This is pretty sad when you have to check the oil level before you leave. In my late teens early to early 20s I worked in a gas station and did many oil changes. There is NO EXCUSE for them not to know the capacity of oil in a particular model vehicle. As I say sad!!

We'd like a recommendation to have someone come to our home to change the oil for us. Thanks.

Change it yourself. This is not rocket surgery ;-)

Does anyone have a place they would recommend for an oil change?

My neighbors are snowbirds so I do it in their driveway when they're away. Neighbors always complain to them about their messy driveway. I chuckle.
