They do my oil changes and I have been impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of the employees. Also they have a 25% veteran and military discount. Rules say that you need military ID but a drivers license with a Veterans designation may do.

Thank you for your help.
I take my car to the Chevy dealer on SR44. $20 cheaper than Sumter Tire. Last oil change at Sumter was greater than $90.

They drain. I asked him about it. He said they replace the washer every time and are very careful to hand-tighten so they don't strip the plug. I heard the guy under the car call it out after he'd replaced the plug, if you can believe it!

Apparently, they're not happy with the machines currently available to pump, but he said the company has come up with something that will effectively remove all the sludge. He said they'll probably be pumping by next year.

What place gives a veteran a 25% discount?
