I can't believe Mechanics Oil Change Service Special

Automotive shops service special includes charges that are definitely questionable.
If you go to a dealership or a quick lube, you should always take a look at the bill closely. This isn't to say those above shops are doing anything wrong. If you can change your own oil, that would be beneficial. If you can't change your oil safely and properly, don't. There are many great motor oils you can use, such as Valvoline 10 w30, Mobil1 5w30, full synthetic extended performance, or Amsoil signature series. Just be sure to use the viscosity your car manufacturer suggests. Oil change fail or brake service special gone wrong as I explain in the video. There are many of the best engine oils that I haven't even mentioned , like Liqui Moly Engine oil. This video is for entertainment purposes only.
Always follow manufacturers' recommendations and qualified professionals.
I prefer not to show the shop or company that I discuss in the video because many shops share the same name, such as Jiffy lube, but can be very different.

I want to apologize for taking time offline. I have been dealing with personal issues and family struggles. I really appreciate all of your kindness, because it's what keeps me going.

Another reason why I do my own brakes. 😂

I took my vehicle to a local tire shop for an alignment on a vehicle I needed the next day. After having the truck all day, they informed me that I needed over a thousand dollars worth of front end work before they could align it. Every part that supposedly needed replacing had less than 25k, including the pitman arm that had about 8k on it. When I called their bluff in front of other customers, the counter guy said I should have used Moog parts. All of the parts I replaced were Moog. I took it to an alignment only shop and $100 later, no mention of bad parts.

I only started doing my own oil changes because of family experience decades and decades ago. I actually bought into the dealer coupons at first and they talked me out of a new timing chain😂 (turned out to be a bad water pump). So far ive saved thousands and probably avoided some kind of dealer induced damages like when they bent the pinch welds under my car. Or how they like to scratch wheel covers.

Just like a hospital charging $100 for an aspirin.

$10 for a red towel that costs them 10 cents is Robbery

I worked at a car dealership, i started off being the lube tech, the amount of pressure i got to up sell things that didnt even need done was crazy. Unless it was absolutely needed i didnt recommend it. Which is why i switched to the detail department.

I cant stand when these tire shops just want to use impacts to tighten lug nuts and then when the owner of that car has a blow out; there's no way he/she will ever get the wheels off with what's provided in your car. I do tighten mine up with the impact, but on the lowest settings and then torque it to specs.

I went to Valvoline because they had a coupon, $40 for 4 quarts synthetic. I knew I needed more oil so I figured maybe $25 or so more for the extra couple of quarts.

In the end they said they had to use the upgraded Euro Spec synthetic, plus the extra oil because it takes more than 4 quarts... so after dual upcharges it was $20 more than the dealership....

Although random internet people say that dealerships use the cheapest oil they can... who knows.

With al the shrinking turbo'd engines coming out, that will probably be the next upgrade... "well it was $50 more because we had to use the turbo oil"

[arniceousmaximus]

Wow the inflation excusenis out of control I hope it eventually breaks .

[tirkentube]

those rotors definitely need changed my dude.

[bangundwihastomo]

Im request total quartz oil vs all oil

[davidcampbell]

i do my own oil changes and I do my own brakes. I learned how to do these things in my high school shop class over 43 years ago when I couldn't even afford to put $5.00 worth of gas in my car (72 Galaxy 500 ) I can afford cars and gas now, but still do my own maintenance. (Keep my cars 15 years now)

[rockerforlife]

Hey Nate! Could you do a video on Amsoil Severe Gear 75-140 gear oil and determine if it's really as good as most of it's users claims? That would be a very interesting video!
Thanks in advance!

Snake oil showdown lubegard bio n tech vs liquid moly mos2 anti friction. Wear resistance test in same oil with the control.

Hello, which oils do you recommend for my 2007 Volvo S40 1.6D?
mileage 300, 000 km 1.6 tdci

[jmcnallyua]

I went to a Valvoline oil changes where you sit in your car to get your oil change well the oil changed was only going to be $27.50 with the coupon and then the guy working there wanted to replace my cabin air filter I told him not to bother it instead he goes over enforces my wife out of the vehicle impose my glove box down and I told him not to touch it and he went ahead and refused to let me leave with the cabin air filter without replacing it and I told him that I would go to my local AutoZone to get a cabin air filter when it needs replaced or I would buy one offline that guy refused to let me leave and he charged me $55.99 for a cabin air filter by the time I was done and leaving there they ended up charging me $85 boy was I upset with them for the way they refuse to listen to the customer when I told him not to touch something they touched it anyway after telling my wife to get out of the car which is very rude when I tell him not to do it they do it anyway I will definitely never deal with a Valvoline oil change place ever again they are a rip-off and I would say for anybody to never go to a Valvoline oil change place for an oil change even if they gave you a coupon that coupon it doesn't mean anything by the time you're done leaving and everything you're going to be paying almost $100 that will change after they get done ripping you off anyway keep up the amazing YouTube videos
