For several years there was a oil change place 3 blocks from my office. I could drive by and see the bay open and just pull right in. They knew me and my El Camino and had no problem with me standing next to the car. I would watch as they drained the oil and and replaced the filter. I always watched him tighten the drain plug and they would lube the several zerks. They often just globed grease on top of the ball joints but for sure some went in even if it was messy.
They used Valvoline and were careful to get the level correct. Once they even brought me down into the pit to show me my drive shaft u-joints were in need of replacement. They did not do that sort of work. It was nice they actually looked around at a car.
It was just a couple of bucks more than me doing all that myself. I changed jobs and I don't go by there now so I do it myself now.
The good shops are out there, just hard to find.
