What's the retail price from your end ?
I usually make it $11-12/qt. This would be for the customer that insists on Mobil 1 and doesn't bring their own and wants to wait, basically they are paying for convenience. If I know long enough ahead I can get it from a vendor that is a lot less, but takes a few hours to get it to us. We don't have a WalMart here so that isn't really an option.
That's a very fair price per quart. Just curious, my Ford dealer here locally only charges me $15 bucks if I supply the oil and filter. Is that normal pricing or am I get a deal as a repeat customer. Thanks for your info
Ya something like that, maybe $20 with a tire rotation. Like even on regular oil changes we don't lose money, but we don't make much either. Its all about upselling things like air filters, cabin filters, fluid changes, brakes, and tires. Lets face it, any automotive repair facility is in it to make money and not be a charity. Our normal door rate is $140/hr which is right in line with other dealers and independent repair facilities in our area.
