A Business Worth Mentioning


This service shop on Northwood Drive is offering Oil Changes for $19.99, something you don't see very often any more. Stop in and give them some business. My guess is, it's hardly worth doing it yourself if someone is willing to change your oil for less than $20.00.

mmmmm here in Florida there are always oil changes listed for anywhere from $14.95 up to the $19 job. And many times that includes tire rotation jackkcharl@aol.com

I just got back from the "big bad city" and oil changes with tire rotations and new wipers at most local shops there were $29.95. Many local (shore)dealers have raised oil change prices(over $35) and who knows if the individual working on your car has any certification or even cares. I've heard lots of horror stories about several large dealers that makes you wonder how they hire these people(kids).

Jack, I would like to think somebody in Salisbury would offer oil change and tire rotation for $14.95 but I'm glad Joe posted this as I will go there from now on.

Careful folks. I do not know about this particular business but you should be wary of some of the "cheaper" prices.
Where I work, we charge 3.50/qt for oil in an oil change. Most vehicles take 5 qts. so that is $17.50 already and you haven't charged for the filter OR any labor.
I'd be wary of what they are putting in my vehicle!
Lower prices doesn't always mean you're getting a bargain.

I don't give a crap what ANY of you nay sayes say, I have 14 cars, a motor coach and two motorcycles. OIL IS OIL! I don't care how much money you spend on a quart of oil, it's ALL the same. I have rejected several comments on this Post because someone just wants to rag on this business, probably because they're offering a better deal than anyone else out there. However, don't be fooled by brand names ladies & gentlemen, it's a joke. They're ALL the same.

bull.... i dont care how u look at they are full of crap. u can't put the same oil in gas as you put in diesels . hmmm . can i get a oil change on my diesel for 19.99 hmmm.

When you buy bulk, such as drums of oil, antifreeze etc., the cost is always less. Buy by the case and your cost is higher. Before anyone states what they charge per quart, I would like to know if they buy cases or drums, most businesses buy cases which is a higher per quart cost. Comparing apples to oranges is very decietful.

anonymous 12:00, you're just being stupid. Do you kick your cat and dog when you get home every day too?

What the heck is a "ripe off"??

I'll tell you what it's not. It's NOT "one word" either. ROTFLMAO!

Oil *is* oil. Walmart's "Tech" brand of synthetic is Pennzoil synthetic in a different color bottle. There are only so many people that refine oil.

This oil change is cheaper than Walmart charges and a bargain if you don't need to wait forever as you do at Walmart.

I do it myself.

Do they do brakes? Anyone know of a honest, cheap brake place in the SBY or OC area?

Chris and staff have been taking car of my vet for serveral years. Great service, prompness, and prices are reasonable. My oil change and service is now being done by Keep Right. No problems or complaints.

btw....we purchase oil in drums, not by the case.

Joe, I was not ragging this business. I stated right in my post that I did not know of this business.

I was speaking as a consumer, not just someone who works at a shop.

I used to take my own vehicle to one of the famous oil change places in Salisbury but I stopped after they failed to tighten my oil filter and I lost most of the oil out of my vehicle. They took care of me AFTER the fact, but it probably still did damage to my vehicle.

I also beg to differ with you when you say OIL is OIL. Not all oil is the same. You're a smart man Joe and I couldn't believe my eyes when I read your post stating this.
There are different velocities in oil and now a number of vehicle require synthetic oils as well.

Tires are the same thing, not all tires are the same. The tire you purchase from the tire shop is NOT the same tire you purchase at Walmart. Any of the tire shops will tell you this and you can tell because the letters are not the same.

Cheap is not ALWAYS better. I'm all for finding a bargain but I also say be careful and make sure it's a true bargain.

anonymous 1:17, I wasn't talking about you as a whole. I had been receiving quite a few comments I had to reject because they were attacking the business wityh no name and nothing to base their statement on.

Tires cheaper than other places, they make sure that things are done right and they are super nice to boot. They make concessions to make sure their customers are well taken care of. After they worked on my car one time the CD player kept trying to eject for no apparent reason. This drained the battery and I was on my way out of town for a funeral and would have to have kept the car at the airport for a week. Chris and Brian replaced the radio for free, came to my house and put a new battery in and made sure that I was able to go take care of my family without worrying about the Blazer not starting when I got back. These guys are truly TOPS!
