Went there because I got a coupon for a $20 oil change.\r
Walked in, they immediately suggested the 'high mileage' oil as my Honda Accord had 88k on it. Extra ten dollars. I figured, okay, maybe that is the case... Found out later from my wife who had a high mileage car, after I picked up my car, that it was a bunch of BS and I wasted $10.\r
\r
They called when car was done and said my power steering fluid needed replacement and my battery was low. The fuild replacement was $90 and I wasn't sure about needing the extra special oil anyways, so I said no to the $90. Turns out I can drain my own power steering with a turkey baster and the fluid probably costs $7-10.\r
\r
I knew about the battery as the terminals had some corrosion and I needed to clean them. I am sure they would of been more than happy to replace the battery for $90 or so...\r
\r
Bottom line, next time I'd go to Jiffy Lube (which my wife swears by) or Checkpoint Automotive, which is 15 minute walk from my house.
