Check thost annoying bundled coupons you get in the mail. Usually someone like Goodyear or Merchants has an oil change for a good price. Just dont get roped into them telling you need a new air filter for twenty bucks or some other add on. Just tell them the oil change as advertised and thats it.
The offers are low to get your car in there so they can find something wrong with it.

Jiffy Lube works fine for me. I've been going there for years and they have the history of my car in their database. I have a 98 Jeep Cherokee with 187K and it's in excellent condition as a result of keeping up with the maintenance.

That air filter gig is truly amazing. It takes a normal human about 25 seconds to replace one.

Wal mart in manass 27 bucks. But they use walmart brand oil and a cheapass oil filter.
Even though its walmart oil It does have the sticker that says it meets all the minnium requirements for all cars.
While they are changing your oil you can go in and get some bargins. Manass walmart is priced lower than burke or fairlakes.

Depends on what kind of car you have and what kind of oil it requires. Sure, some normal, boring cars are just fine going to Jiffy Lube and having Jose and Juan change your oil with regular, cheap ass dino oil. If you have a higher end or turbo charged car, you sometimes require a certain type of synthetic oil, which makes it cost more.

Merv's auto repair in Springfield is the best for everything auto, including oil change. Only place my husband will go since he no longer changes it himself. Have taken American & imports there.

The Sunoco in the North Point Shopping Center in Reston. Google their website and they have coupons for an oil change for $19.95. I usually go Saturday mornings, drop my car off, and walk across the Center to Starbucks. By the time I'm done with my latte, my car is done. An absolutely wonderful and pleasant experience.
