I know that they are getting popular, but I do my own. Just don't know what kind of person is doing the work, what kind of parts you are getting, don't know that it gets done right.

There was an idler arm on my '97 Tahoe, that required greasing as part of the chassis lube. The zerk was behind a wiring harness that went thru a hole in that location. Had to move the wiring harness over to see it, much less get to it.

Just wonder how many of those get/got overlooked. Gotta know it's there and be willing to grease it.

Then there is the dirty zerk. How many employees that grease your stuff wipe off the zerk before shooting the grease. I have seen it being overlooked.

Then there is how much grease do they use? Different amounts required for different functions. What quality is it?

How many wipe down the mating surface of the oil filter prior to installing your new filter?

How many pre-fill the oil filter so that you don't have a dry start? I had an '88 Ford 302, that even when you did fill the filter, it would do a little valve train rattle before the oil got up there until I went to full syn and that was the end of that.

How do you know that the oil you ordered and paid for is what went into your vehicle?

Not pointing fingers. Just things that I think/worry about and if I do it myself, I know what I am getting.

Mark
