i do mine myself,right in my driveway.
I work in an independant garage and we charge about $50 after taxes,shopfees, and environmental fees. The average in my area is about $45-55. This is in Canadian dollars. I do mine for the cost of parts. Helps being your own technician.
I was a mechanic at a local oil/lube shop in Ft. Worth, the best thing to do is to just take you car to a local place…anything but Wal-mart, and ask for a full service oil change with the recommended oil, they should know. (usually in the $20-$29 range.) That takes care of them looking at all items (change oil and filter, checks air filter, belts, coolant, washer fluid, differential, transmission, wipers, lube points.
if my car is new and still under warranty i go to the dealer. when it gets older i take it to jiffy lube or places like that
I think you should be able to get your oil changed for $14.95.I personally change mine myself,got tired of paying jiffy,and besides when you take it to those places you dont know if they really change it or not.Its simple,run your car up on a pair of lifts,undo the oil screw,make sure you have something to catch the oil,drain it,put the plug back in,and change the filter,add the new oil,usually 5 quarts,take the old oil to ,well I think walmart takes it,I use mine to polish my furniture,kidding,I have a local dealer that takes it,im in the country.
With my 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee I go to Lube One, (like Jiffy Lube) and I pay about $32.00. They do the oil and filter change, and also top off all other fluids, check the batter, hoses, belts, check for vehicle damage, and anything they can easily see that is going wrong.
With my 2006 Chevy Cobalt (big waste of money) I take it to the dealership and get the oil changed for free.
I always take our 2001 PT Cruiser to the dealer. They charge
$ 24.95, including the disposal surcharge for the old oil. This includes an oil filter change and a chassis lube as well.
Wal-mart does it for 20 -30 dollars
