When you don't feel like DIY oil changes anymore

[danstraylee]

I sometimes do my own and sometimes let the dealer do oil changes and other service items. I'm grateful to not have trust issues with shops that I know are capable and willing to take good care of my vehicle as it is their own.

I ended up using Subaru dealer for the subbies. Before even the first oil change with them, they helped out with two small issues at no charge (I did not purchase either vehicle from them) for free as a courtesy, when I first moved to town. They will be rewarded with $2K 60K service next time. So far everything is done right with Subaru branded stuff.

F150 has gone to Walmart locally. Even though they have appointments it takes about 1.5 hrs to get the oil change. This is an older WM that has an older, smaller bay set up. That said the oil change guy seems to be older and takes his time to get everything done right. Waiting area is near non-existent and not near any place to get a drink or while a way the time.

Still learning about this town living thing, but so far I will be loyal to these folks.

At least Lawrence is still relatively small, where having a good reputation is necessary for continued business. Some businesses don't really care about repeat customers, just going for all they can squeeze from each and every customer victim.
