The guys who work in them all seem to have failed auto shop class, if they ever took them at all. There have been many reports here of these clowns stripping the heads on the drain plug, crossing the threads, not using a washer, forgetting to put in oil or putting in the wrong oil (or even using tranny fluid instead), etc. A place near me has forgotten to tighten the drain plug and forgotten to add oil on cars. I'll do an oil change barehanded in sub zero weather before I'd go to one of these places.
Dealers rob you for a oil change--$75-80 is not unusual-- so use your indy, or just go to a GOOD general service shop if you don't DIY. It's a 20-30 minute job. Buy the tools, oil and filter and DIY. About $25 for synth oil and a filter.
