Labor charge for oil change only??

Looking for a shop, any shop that could do an oil change for madddd cheap. I will supply my own oil. Just charge for labor.

Mobil on bell blvd charges 26.99 just to used there lift.
Mobil by little neck charges $20 and the manager is an a-hole.

If it wasn't for the snow I would of jack up the car and DIY!!

glad to see i'm not the only one thinks that manager is a prick. the gulf station on hillside by cross island parkway will charge you 10 or 15. talk to the guy inside the bay he's cooler than the manager.

My last mechanic in bk charges $10 bucks if you bring your own oil...it really shouldn't be any more than that.

Where's this place at what's the shop called? I would gladly pay $10! Do they know what they are doing? I've been going to BP and they charged me about $80ish with the oil.. I think that's a bit overkill fml.

I wish this snow would just melt! I really want to wash my car and wish I could do this maintenance work myself.

My old mechanic is at Sun Auto on 8th ave and 65th street next to a Shell/Gulf gas station (can't remember). The guy who owns it..Sam is real good, but they're so busy it makes them lazy. I recall many times I asked them to just do a check to make sure I don't need anything else, just to find out I need some suspension work done a week later. I wish I didn't have to let him go, but after getting this TL, I can't accept this reactive approach so I found a new mechanic who's a bit more proactive...it seems.

I'll let you know how this new one goes, but he's a nice guy and seems real good. He's currently rebuilding my friends 3000gt. Doesn't give you that "if you don't buy the parts from me, I can't guarantee the work" BS. If I can find parts for cheaper, he doesn't care. He's the one who qualified this TL before I bought it. $120 for labor to change rear rotors/pads, tranny fluid, brake fluid, oil change, lube chassis/inspect the rest of my suspension and whatever else I need for a B service. Parts/fluids costing me about 330 so it seems fairly priced.
