Reminds me of the guy in NYC that dropped his car off every morning for 
an oil change, and picked it up in the evening. The oil change was less 
expensive than paying for parking in the city. I told my brother-in-law, 
  who owned a repair shop near the Manhattan Bridge, this story, and he 
told me that he stopped letting people leave their vehicles at the shop 
for quick stuff like oil changes, it's all "while you wait."
