  • When you take your car to the shop for maintenance, you expect to get what you pay for. But a KXAN undercover investigation found that’s not always the case at some oil change shops in Central Texas.

    For 100 dollars, you can buy a set of Rhino ramps, 5 qts of full synthetic, and a nice oil filter - and you'd have 20 bucks left over for lunch.

      Buy a decent import that doesn't need an oil change more than once each year and don't go to some POS garage, amerikkka has Costco, I think they do oil changes, and they are a great company.

      This is why I always do my own maintenance. My car requires full synthetic. It costs me around $35 for a filter & 6.5 qts. & I can dispose of the old oil at a local shop for free.

      @@georgiaactivist8728 Good for you, but a lot of people (including me) can't or won't get under their car to change their oil. I bought a Honda SUV that lets me know when the oil needs to be changed and that's about twice per year because I drive a lot. But many cars now need only one change each year.

      @Billybigrigger-ic7jp Not necessarily. Old oil can create more drag on the engine than new oil, and some modern engines call for the thinnest weight of oil available, such as 0W-08 in the Toyota Crown, which was only recently approved for use by the American regulator. Of course, the gain would be negligible, but it could be measured.

I ended up waiting till the customer returned to pick up her truck, told her what she really owed the boss, then left for good.

      That’s not an excuse. Yes, the owners are more at fault for telling their employees to do that but for the employees to knowingly rip off customers is shady, irresponsible, childish, immoral, and illegal. They know better, and if that were me or anyone I love working there, I guarantee I’d be out the door and reporting them EVERYWHERE. Please don’t make excuses for them.

    This stuff does go on. My brother worked for a place and quit after he talked to the truck driver that brings the oil. The guy said the owner of the shop had him fill all the tanks with the same cheap oil. My brother confronted his boss about this dishonesty and he refused to change. So my brother said he was not working for a dishonest crook and quit. This is precisely why I change my own oil and have for years.

      @derealized797 Před 2 lety

      I noticed that too, and i do my own oil, and my car calls for synthetic so... either regular oil went way down in price or he means for the service.
      But I've had a couple times where i needed an oil change, and had no way of doing it myself. Unless i crawled through mud. So once i took my own oil and filter and went to a place where this guy charged me $20 to do it. It was after hours and he pocketed the money worked out for both of us i guess.
      More recently i went to a place, but they refused to use my oil & filter. They also asked $70. So screw that. Couple days later i got ahold of a friend with a garage, he did it for $10.
      It's ridiculous what they charge at garages though, and mostly it's because everyone wants to make their share off you. There's the garage owner then the mechanics who work for them. That's why they charge like $100 an hour. $100 an hour... then whatever they ask for the parts which might not be top quality either.

    Years ago my cousin worked as a mechanic for a local service station. The owner of the station would fill name brand bottles of fully-synthetic, semi-synthetic, and conventional motor oil with cheap bulk 10W-30 recycled motor oil out of the same barrel. Customers would specify the name brand motor oil they wanted used from a sign listing all of the different name brand motor oils "available" and their cost. The owner would walk over to a shelf and get whatever brand of motor oil the customer wanted along with a cheap no name oil filter. But, unbeknownst to the customer, they were all getting the same cheap recycled 10W-30 motor oil.

  • @dinosaurcomplaints2359

    I’ve done all my own automotive work since 1976. Got NIASE master ticket 1997. Had to take truck in for tires and alignment. The experience convinced me to keep on doing my own repairs even though I am older and have med issues.

    Or you can do it yourself and save money, also you can recycle the oil after your done. Seriously you don't need to be car guy like me and lots of others to do a simple job on your car.

    I worked at a Valvoline Instant Oil change for 1 month. I had to quit. They had me put dirt on transmission dip sticks to push for a $75 "Transmission Flush Service"
    They told me if a Oil filter was hard to reach or take off to wipe it clean and not worry about it.
    And they also would push people into changing the air filter every oil change. And tild me not to do grease fittings if the customer didnt ask about it. Even if they paid for it.
    I couldnt cheat people or lie to them like the boss wanted me to.
    Most of those places are a rip off.

      Is two different systems but oil has a lot to do with an engine's performance so sorry to bust your bubble but well lubricated crank and cam ahafts and pistons can be called a tune up but i say a lube up sounds way better lol

      You haven’t “burst my bubble” at all! An engines performance doesn’t fluctuate based on how old its oil is, load of shit.

      That’s a Placebo effect dude, the only way you could ever tell is in very few cases it might run slightly smoother but you’d be pushed to notice.
      If oil changes anything in your engine, the damage has already been done and needs scrapping!

      Righty then...first of all you might wanna learn how to spell before trying to shoot someone down.
      Second of all you’re talking nonsense, the plain fact is a tune up is not an oil change! A “tune up” is an old term for tuning the fuel/air mixture on a carburettor and resetting the ignition timing nothing to do with fluids.
      Finally your outdated sexist assumption that I don’t work on cars is further evidence of you talking bullshit, I’ve been restoring classic cars and building engines for almost 20 years bud, I know more than you ever will! So go and make me a sandwich whilst I do some real work! Prick!

    As a mechanic at a big car brand I can't see why you would only change your oil and not do anything else that is required at the service intervall. During maintence we always check brakewear, fluids, play in antiroll bars etc. And at sertain intervalls the car needs new timming belt, sparkplugs, airfilter, fuelfilter, unit belt, brake fluid etc. Just changing the oil is not a service and they wont be able to promise you that the car is problem free. Do your maintenence at an approved brand specific dealership and you wont have as much trouble with your car. And if you decide to do the service by yourself make sure to check the car properly and check the maintenence intervall to see what you need to replace at this service.
