Man, I have changed my oil, brakes, fluids, everything that doesn't require ASE type Ka-Nowledge since I could drive, why b/c I know I'll do it right, and I don't trust but a few individuals anywhere near my cars (even the effin oil plug), hell I can count those trusted folks on one hand even! Besides lest you make $70+ /hr, the 10 minutes it takes plus supplies is by far more cost effective and safe for your ride!
Hell the Dealer is most likely gonna use a high school dropout supervised by a Master Technician not completed by one, they'll even charge you more so they can pay that master service tech salary, while reserving him for real mechanical issues. At least the Quick Lube is gonna be up front about it and let you watch the $8/hr kiddo screw your car up for half the price! Anyways it's your loss b/c Quick Lube and Dealers can afford to pay lawyers and drag it out till you can't afford it anymore, b/c their little knuckle dragger forgot to put your plug in or used the wrong fluids, wieght or type, I know several people it's happened to!
Hell one was even screwed by dealer (it was however GM not Acura, but it doesn't change anything), they forgot to put fluid in the transmission when they serviced it, he got 100 miles outta town (road trip to Bonnaroo Music Festival) and it crapped out on him in random scarry backwoods Alabama town (anybody hear a banjo) they had to stay in a louse infested motel, rent a truck for the rest of the trip, lost 3 days total of vacation, and he is still fightin with them today in 2007 when the Bonnaroo Festival was in 2003! Oh he also still owes $6K on it still and it doesn't even run, they offered him $1000 if and only if he bought another NEW GM product!
Moral of the story: Quit being lazy and if it's dirty you're frightened of being, some GOJO orange will fix it, Peace MattyB
Unless of course you're rich bitch, then let other people take care of everything and disregard the above statements!
