I initially posted this in the wrong forum.

I just came across this and thought I'd share with beyond:

:werd: My buddy stopped getting me 20L pails for a pack of smokes since he quit smoking



If anybody here works for Alberta Health Services, I believe they have a deal with Sunridge Mazda. 5 oil changes for $89

It's not worth the wasted time to save that little bit of money. I definitely rather pay someone and just not have to worry about it.

Had a buddy use Mr. Lube for his Twin Turbo Stealth back in the day. They used the wrong filter, cross threaded it and the motor never worked the same since.

I saw a post up on the advertising board a couple months ago when I was working at PLC. You have to have valid AHS ID

I suppose it depend on the owner in how far s/he is willing to do all the work on her/his vehicle. I guess that's what I think... myself I do all the tune-ups, oil changes and even change or repair engine parts. Been doing that for years with no trouble.

My benefit is that I save the charges what shops would tack on the bill. In the long run I must had save hundreds of dollars since - more saved means I can put toward nice car parts.

If you don't like doing the dirty work - hey, it's your business, eh? Grandpa taught me to take pride in my own work and he was damn right!

I do as much as I can on my vehicles, I could care less about savings as long as I KNOW that everything is being done properly as I am doing it myself at my own pace, ensuring everything is fine and dandy.

I can guarantee you that not one of those shops will fill the new oil filter with oil before slapping it on your vehicle.

Yep thats how I look at things I would never send my vehicle to a shop unless it's internal engine work or speciality work like alignments and welding

I'm waiting for my parts shipment to make it to Montana border storage so I can do a brake job and bearings/balljoints I get premium parts from the states for less than economy parts locally
