Not gonna lie, it's a very valid point. But $110 for a vanilla synthetic oil change even in this economy is a bit of a stretch by any standard.That Denny's place is a ripoff! They want $8 for breakfast. I can buy a dozen eggs and a loaf of bread and I still have bacon in the freezer when I bought it last year for $2..... all for what they want for breakfast! They won't even let me bring in my own eggs anymore! I can serve myself thank you!
Avoid that ripoff Denny's!
That is actually quite reasonable.The Valvoline charges $79.00 for six quarts of synthetic and a slight surcharge for the filter element that goes in the cartridge of my wife's 3.3 Santa Fe. The dealer is actually cheaper but requires an across town trip.
Not sure if the work done by many DIYers is much better...The bigger issue is having Jiffy Lube touch your car ....
Yes-there are some on come on here and guys say-"it's easy just diy!" Then they come on here after they get themselves in trouble asking how to undo the mess. I have especially have seen this with trying to get the fluid right on sealed transmissions being serviced in their driveway.Not sure if the work done by many DIYers is much better...
I suppose maybe there is that occasional (less than 1%) of DIYer who tries to fool with a sealed-for-life automatic transmission... Most do not.Yes-there are some on come on here and guys say-"it's easy just diy!" Then they come on here after they get themselves in trouble asking how to undo the mess.

That's repeated on here-but it's not true. Dealers, Jiffy Lube Type places, service thousands upon thousands of vehicles without issue. Your statement is just something that's repeated on here so everyone can join hands and sing "kumbaya". Someone who actually worked at a large dealer stated on here mistakes run less than 1 per-cent.It cost more than that. You have to add the new oil pan when they strip your threads, don't tell you about it, and Helicoil it as a repair.
How much profit should be acceptable in you view? Is it 10%-15% or what? I'm sure you majored in business in school right?Talk about Corporate greed.....
