For me, I just don't want to have to deal with the used oil. Plus when I go to sell the car, I'll have a record of the oil changes (I go to the dealer, 'natch).

IMHO, being able to show regular maintenance (oil changes incl.) can go a long way toward justifying a higher asking price.

That is JL signature service, which is a check of the fluids, flattening of the tires, smearing of the upholstery, and smudging of the windows. So you get a lot for that $80.00. I just do the work around.

I'm interested in this "flattened tires" look. I (personally) think the whole "round wheels" look has been done to death.

$80 for all that? The Mobil station across from me does it for $53, but I talked them down to $40 even.

If I buy my own oil, which I do, they will do all this for $31.00.

I always leave something sticking up between the front seats, otherwise I end up with dirty footprints all over the console as well.
