So this is just a bit of a rant. I took my F-150 and BMW to the local auto shop yesterday to have oil changes done. On the boat I do all of my own work, but oil change(s) on my vehicles I leave to the local shop, usually. Anyway, I drop them both off and ask for Mobil one and I'll be back at the end of the day.
So now I go to pay for the oil changes and see the bill. Ready for this - $180 for the BMW and $170 for the truck. OMFG! You have got to be kidding me! They charged me $19.23/qt for Mobile one but only charged .175 of an hour or $17.50 in labor to change the oil. The local NAPA, where they get there parts from, is $7/gt on sale right now normally $11/gt. I mean how can they charge that with a straight face!
I am so disgusted with the state of affairs we are in I can't even say. I know this is petty and there is a lot more to be worried about then this, but J.H.Chr*** ...
