Steve, that was 15 years ago when I was young, stupid and naive. I have
learned my lesson since. Now I do my own oil changes (every 6000-8000
miles), and my own car repairs. My car goes to a mechanic only when
there is something I can't do, ie. tire changes, A/C work, etc.
But I'm not kidding you, the oil change used to cost be about 40-45
dollars and for some strange reason they just couldn't do it the same
day. My dealer sure was.....and I'm sure it still is....lame.
