Default Oil Change

Checked my oil Sunday and was about 1/2 quart low and it was around 3000 miles so thought it was time to change. I usually go to the dealer and have this done and thought their price was fair, but thought I would give Tracy at RevXtreme a call. Was told to stop by after work. Got there at 4:00 and was out by 4:25. Oh yea, over 20% cheaper then the dealer
I forgot, wasn't I suppose to get a free detail from Rob for getting work done there

Wow, they were cheaper?
I would have thought they'd be at least the same price.
And 25 minutes ain't too shabby either!

That's great to know...I'll bet they didn't even crack your quarter panels (as some dealers have been known to do) by lifting the car improperly.

1/2 low and only 3000 miles, it seems like it is leaking or something

I have 78K on the 02 and 92K on the 99 and neither have ever been a drop low on oil.
