Are Cheap Oil Changes Really A Good Value?

I always wonder when I see an advertisement for really cheap oil change what are you really getting. I know the purpose of the lost leader sale approach, but what if you only want an oil change? Most vehicles get the oil changed 2-3 times per year. Do we really want to look for the cheapest maintenance for the second most expensive thing that most of us own? Probably not. The cost of 5 quarts of quality motor oil and a filter that is designed for your vehicle is about $20.00. So what is being left out at $14.00? The proper oil? The proper filter? Is the individual that is looking my car over trained to spot potential future problems? At McCluskey Chevrolet we will perform a lube oil and filter change, a 27 point safety inspection, top off all of your fluids and a free car wash for only $24.95. WOW!
