i'm tired of bringing my car to the dealer for oil changes. any recommendations? i'm in the east bay.

 

zcargarage did my last change

 

zcar does routine oil changes? what do they charge? do they take long?

 

just buy your own oil and go to some random gas station IMO =)

 

Diy

 

do it by myself. Buy mobil 1 from walmart and filter from pep boys.... 15-30 min of your free time..

 

I used to have an Acura Integra and it was pretty simple to do oil changes on it.

I couldn't believe it but the oil changes on the G are hella easier. The oil filter sits so low, its so easy to grab. There's even a convenient little opening in the shroud underneath the car for you to reach it.

I'd definitely recommend trying to do it yourself at least once before paying someone else to do it.

 

No don't go to Wallyworld, they suck big time!! Just
watch the Sunday auto parts adds for the best prices
on oil and filters and do it yourself. I do suggest you
use Mobil 1 synthetic oil 5w/30.

 

can't say exactly how much the oil change cost since i had it rolled into some other work i was getting done there.

just call and ask. one thing i would suggest is getting rob to commit to a price up front. last time i was in, he tried to charge me for the time it took as opposed to the price he quoted. i wouldn't ahve minded except that i was socializing with the tech working on my car and added time to the job. i'm not gonna pay for that. rob was agreeable on a price closer to the quote (overall the labor charge was small so i don't think he cared much)

 

or they bring it over to my house and I change it for them!
