Agreed...I'd much rather change my own oil than deal with the "free" dealer ones. I told to take hers in and refuse to pay for anything. Not only did she do that but she managed to convince them to hand wash her beebeep. She's pretty savage with those people, but it's still a hassle because she complained about the waste of time all day, plus I had to drive down with her so she wasn't stuck at the dealer for half a day waiting.D Griff wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 12:57 pmMy setup is somewhere in between those two but I have to say, the "free" oil changes on the are a big pain in my ass and not worth it. Changing at home is far preferable IMO. It takes less time and there's no worry of some idiot fucking it up. The Jeep place also tried to sell my wife on some items last time she took it for the free oil change... so that easily becomes a $200 oil change had she taken the bait.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 12:39 pm
Also, I ENJOY changing oil. I am mechanically inclined but not in the extreme like the Hound, and it is a simple task but still has to be done correctly. I also have a nice setup to do it in, never freezing weather, QuickJack, sportsball on the garage flatscreen, morning coffee etc. If I lived in an apartment in Scranton, PA, I might be hitting the Blackstone a little harder.
They keep requesting me completing some service rape palace survey since then and I refuse to give them their top marks when they tried to take advantage of my spouse.
I might just do my own oil changes on beebeep from now on. It's easy in the JL, and only a once a year thing with how few miles its driven. Up to 8.5k now, had it for 18 months now.
