The service side seems like a typical tire shop, they do have decent tire price and their oil change seems to be pretty good price wise. Battery seems to be ok too. They are the only one around me that takes used oil, so I'd give them credit for that.


Aren't all auto parts stores supposed to take used oil?


I thought so too but my local Napa doesn't and boy are they proud to see you walk in with oil and tell you no.

Not at all. About 1/2 of them around me don't.

Depends on the state laws. My state requires all stores that sell oil to take back used oil.
