where do you guys get your oil changed (besides DIY)? I don't want to go to the dealer anymore (toyota). The oil change itself is not expensive, around $40, but when they do the bigger service every other time, it's like $200- $250 and when I read the list of what they did, it's mostly check this, check that, not really fixing or replacing anything.... I wouldn't mind paying $200 if they actually replaced something but most of the time it's a thorough inspection... maybe a tire rotation but i can get that for free at Costco.
