Where do you get your oil changed?

[Jmarler]

For oil changes besides for those who diy. Do you take yours to the dealer or another place? My wife does her mustang at the dealer because it's free but this last time, whoever parked the car left it in drive and turned it off and its an automatic. So I'm skeptical of ford service now.

If it's push button start no key needed.

I have free oil changes from the dealer so they've been doing them. Once that's over with I'm going to my local Brakes Plus because the manager is really great there. There's a few guys there who are into off roading and I have a few Jeep friends who've gone there for years without any issues.

I'm not much of a diy person.

We don't have that company here. We have a jiffy lube but I don't like them. Overpriced.

I use to always do my own oil changes but now I just find it easier to let them do it. As long as you can find someone you can trust it's not worth the hassle of doing it then getting rid of the oil. Maybe try looking up some reviews on Yelp or even nextdoor.com. At least then you might find someone good locally.

Until the first time someone screws up royally...my wife had a bad experience with oil cap left off and oil went everywhere...I had a car with oil plug so over tightened that the head stripped...

always best to ask friends and family as you can get a lot of different answers on the forum and since most of us are in different places than you it would not help you out. You can also try asking of sites like nextdoor.com

I will say whoever you take it to make sure they put the clips back on the wheel well shield that hides the oil filter. May want to even mark the clips to make sure they actually took it off and changed the filter
you can see the shield at the beginning of this video
