There are some wickedly good ideas here . Yeah, I have always been a DIY and most certainly with oil changes. Yes, I know of a couple trustworthy oil change places but "stuff" happens; witness my wife's frustration upon returning from "White Glove Hand Car Wash" and finding a scratch in the top of the hood. We are now using our own hands or going to a good place where the machines do a great job and are engineered to never scratch a car. It is best that the types that get the job of changing oil do Not get to move this car around; And yes, I realize there may well be one of these kids working in dealer service. I think the dealer will get to do this first oil change. $250 is bad but it is not $640. That will be my introduction and I will have several more months to decide whether to do them myself.
