Bay Area oil change Q

Xens · 12-26-2005, 07:54 PM

Where can I get an oil change in the bay area other than the dealer? It's too time consuming to get an oil change at the dealer's service department, a simple oil change can take up to a day and requires an appointment. Not that I'm too lazy but I just don't have the time.

Any recommendations for a good shop in the bay area? I don't mind driving a bit as long as I can get in, get out and be done with it.

changing the oil by yourself probably is quicker than driving somewhere to get it done.

Explaining my entire situation will take forever. Simply put: environmental surroundings and conditions not up to par for DIY.

If I could have done then I would have done and this thread wouldn't be here in the first place.

There's a shop in Santa Cruz that I have frequented for years. It's GoodYear on Lincoln street. I brought them the oil, and filter. It took 15 minutes and I gave em a $20.

BMRAMA: what oil and filter do you use?
