Found a shop in Santa Clarita/Valencia
Hi guys,
Just had my 500 mile oil change done. I no longer have any tools at home, and I live on a slight slope, so working on my car was currently not doable. I had to change the oil on my z51 per manual, but also didn't trust the local dealership. I bought my own oil and filter and took it to Magic Auto Center on Valencia/Bouqet and gave them specific instructions.
They followed them to a T and only charged me $16! The owner was cool as hell too (Moe). He had his '14 GT500 there. What a beast! Anyways, just figured if any of you guys in Santa Clarita wanted some simple maintenance stuff done, these guys could probably do it for a fraction of the price of what the dealers charge.

Just quickly read through your post and saw "He had his 14 GT500 there" and got excited thinking you went to my uncles shop in santa clarita since he has two shops in Santa Clarita and frequently drives his 14 GT500 to work (alternating between that, his ZL1 and Hellcat Challenger, yes jealous). Then proceeded to read your entire post and saw the owners name was not my uncle lol
Anyway, the shop you went to sounds great and $16 for an oil change is unheard of! I remember when I went to one of those chain oil change shops and brought my own oil and filter for my 04 GTO and they only wanted to credit me like $4 off the price of a synthetic oil change (~$70)!
