I get it and that's a good deal, but do you really want to go back?

Either way, get it in writing.

What is a $100 oil change? I've only ever heard of prices like that on diesel trucks. What are they doing that costs $100?

Yeah I haven't been to an oil change shop in a while I guess. I was having my Subaru oil changed at a dealer for a while because they threw in a few with the purchase. Those included a tire rotation and multi point inspection. I don't remember the exact price, but I know it wasn't even close $100.

Typing that reminded me that I sent my wife to a local oil change shop while I was out of town for work a few years ago so she could get the oil changed in her Jetta. The guy ended up charging her $90 or $100. I remember being super pissed about that because I know if I had taken the car in there he wouldn't have had the balls to charge that much. Anyway, the point being that no oil change is worth $100. If they're breaking stuff you might as well take it to Walmart instead and pay half the price.
