[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do y’all pay upwards of $40,000 for your cars and then cheap out by going to Jiffy Lube?[/quote]

DP. Where do YOU go, then? The car dealership? Takes forever (and at the dealerships we've tried, I do mean forever, and they're not giving out loaner cars to oil change customers for the day). A local garage? OK that's great, but it's half a day if there's any other work being done in the garage that day. And the garages near us don't do oil changes on weekends at all. Using places like Jiffy Lube isn't about "cheaping out," it's about not having the time to use a garage and especially not a dealership. If you have an actually helpful alternative to the above--and "do it yourself" is not an alternative--please do give it. I get it, Jiffy Lubes can suck, so what do you recommend that isn't going to eat hours out of the day?[/quote]
Are you scheduling it in advance? If so, it shouldn’t take all day. I scheduled at an independent mechanic, and it was pretty quick. True that they basically have bank hours, though. If you schedule at end of day, they’ll get it done so they can close and go home. [/quote]

Scheduled oil changes at the dealership were still taking a minimum of 90 minutes. Every time. Two hours, once when we were promised it would be under a hour. Again: Scheduled appointments. Dealerships do not give a flying f**k once they have your car in their clutches. At least, two different Honda dealerships around here don't. Local mechanics have been better but still no weekend hours at the ones near us. [/quote]
