OIL CHANGE SHOPS: Discontinued and had to pay $100.00 for one today !!!!!

May 20, 2026 03:16PM
Wow doesn't it hurt paying for these after 15 plus years of shopping them for free!
That said, anybody know of any legit discount coupons from oil change chains?
Am avoiding Jiffy Lube after hearing horror stories about damaged autos.
Many thanks and let's all pray that these shops return someday.

I use Groupon for local, independent oil change and auto repair places. I don't trust any of the chains for oil changes.

Yea, I just heard this morning on the news that Hybrid car oil changes will begin at $120 now because of the war! OUCH! I only use local folks. I don't even like doing the chains as a mystery shop. But, I will go on their website and they normally will have a coupon on it.

My mechanic also says to avoid Walmart for oil changes. They drained the transmission fluid out of one car rather than the oil.

I like Valvoline Instant Oil Change. Coupons show up regularly in their app. Service is quick and you stay in your car.

There are some Volkswagen oil shops. Anyone have one? No? Me neither.

Unfortunately I have a luxury brand auto and my spouse is picky about where I go. I really need an oil change.

Same. I have not paid for an oil change in years. Sigh.

I was hoping these would come around again, we could sure use that comparison task for the college kid and the pickup.
