Where does everyone go to get their oil change in the car?

 

My driveway.

 

[murphy55d]

My cousin is ASE certified, and his garage happens to be right down the street from my house. So I take it there.

Yep. I help my dad and brother with oil changes. Figured I'd learn now before I get my own car

Yup, I just drive over to my parents' house (they've got ramps). I use the following: Castrol SynTech or regular Mobil oil 5W-30, a socket wrench, an oil filter wrench, an oil storage container (which I later bring to Murray's to dump), an oil filter, and lots of paper towels and newspaper.

I've got it down to about a 30-45 minute process. It feels great to do such vital maintenance so cheaply.-

floor jack + jack stands = self oil change

i can even get to my filter from the top or bottom of my car! german engineering rules

Don't have the tools or the inclination to learn how to change my own oil. I let Firestone or the car dealer change it.

Walmart.

nobody really gets their oil changed at wal-mart, do they? if you do, i advise you not to.

 

[TheAudit]

Dealer or sometimes a chain like Jiffy or Indy if they aren't crowded.
Used to change the oil in my Jeep myself but haven't actually changed it myself in years.

 

[PowerMacG5]

My dad's mechanic that works at his warehouse. I love in house mechanics.

Walmart. Cheap and quick. And they've always done it right, so why not?

Any real reason or just a hatred for Walmart?

It's nice and warm here, but it's raining. I wanted to wash my car and vacuum the interior, but I am scared to bring an electric vacuum out on the wet driveway. :Q

Used to do it myself, but figured the time and effort wasn't worth a few bucks, so I take it to a GoodYear garage nearby.
