Where do you get your oil change?

No one goes to the instant oil change stores like XX Lube ??

They do not take the time to let it drain properly. I'm too old to be crawling under a car, but I'm gonna do it!

I DIY with PYB and Nissan filter. No way am I letting the dealership guys touch my car. If you look at most of their personal appearances, they really let themselves go and I'm sure their work gets the same kind of attention.
You CAN judge a book by it's cover. Of course there is always an exception but the rule still stands.

When we bought the house, my only priority, two car garage. When we moved in we parked two cars in it. Been that way ever since. It's a garage, not a storage shed.

A story:

I tell the agent, I want a house with a two car garage. First house she says here is a nice house ... no garage

Ma'am, I said two car garage. Next house, garage is one car

Ma'am, I said two car garage. Next house she shows us has a CAR PORT. Thank you Ma'am, we're done. I told this story to the next agent. Didn't see anything without a two car garage.

Apartment for now. Hopefully house/condo within the next 2 years. Tough in NJ. Also, my DD is my hobby car.

if you go through all that trouble of buying it, why not just do the 2nd half of it and change the oil yourself?

when i look for apartments, the FIRST thing i ask is if there are garages. That is a deal maker or breaker for me.

I don't go to the instant oil changes, either.

I feel very sad that I cannot trust them.
