If you "do the math" there is not very much profit in changing oil, even if they use the "reconstituted" (recycled) cheaper oil version of what they should be using.(I would not put that crap in my vehicles, maybe we should pay them with Conferderate Money?) The real profit is in pushing services that are either not needed, or they are way over priced because they have you captive. They are trained to have a customer "conference". They try to establish fast trust by first being very "friendly" telling the good things. (Note to self: don't go to oil change places trying to make a new friend) They push air filters at higher prices, even when they may not be needed. Like an angel from Heaven, they tell you what "problems" they happened to find while under the hood. You are made to feel lucky to have stopped in this place to have your oil changed. (yea, right) If you are female and by yourself, it can be even worse. One of the profit makers is the infamous transmission flush for ONLY $99.00. They will even tell some customers that the "manager" is running a special and they can get that done for only $XX.XX today and today only. If you have a higher mileage vehicle, and they back flush it, you could begin to have problems with a tranny that was working fine. What really needs to be done is to drop the bottom pan, change the filter, clean up the magnet (if it has one), and add back the correct amount of fluid. This is IF you have never run the tranny hot or low on fluid. If that is the case, a rebuild is what you need. The fleecing of America will likely never end until we all get smart in all topics.
