Yeah but you have to lay in your driveway like a sucker and freeze/sweat your ass off depending on the time of year, smash your knuckles up possibly.. and have a bunch of oil to dispose of! Drive through one takes 15 mins, and free coffee.. and free newspaper! Just stop on in when I'm running errands.

You have to watch some of those oil change places.....they like to use recycled oil out of a 55 gallon drum!!! Never think your getting a hell of a deal with cheap oil change prices...as they are selling you recycled oil.
