Q: Okay folks, where's your favorite place to get your oil changed? We're looking for a new shop that doesn't charge too much and can do the work while we wait. And don't tell me Jiffy Lube! Seems everyone's raising their prices or pushing services we don't want. I just want an oil/filter change at a reasonable cost... where do you go?
A: dunno what you think is reasonable.....I use Tom's Transmission on Sierra Highway, next to the GG/VFW. I believe Brian, by appointment, can change your oil and filter while you wait.
I don't care about folks pushing services; it is how they manage to bring in more revenue to their enterprises.
Also, I want to know before it breaks that something is about to fail. I know about dealing with folks who do not warn me that something is about to fail.....fg expensive....
That is a reason to do business with folks who "push services".
The concern about price seems to be that value is a synonym.....value is what satisfies you.....price is what someone else wants for satisfying you.
