A prime example of why I never take any of our vehicles to any shop for
anything. Ever.
Doing it yourself lets you choose th ebest oils, best filters, best
parts etc... you KNOW what goes in the car, and how the work was
performed, and you KNOW you won't try to charge yourself for work that
was not done.
I hate repair shops, and dealer****ps are no better.
