Hey just a question on my mind..

10 bucks each for Vipers and Vette @ my local Merlins. I bring my own oil and filter. I guess I get my own group discount. :D

So generally most dealers are 66+ roughly? and most places don't include any type of inspection with that price.. And I know how one dealer is.. basically it's a drain and refill and throw on a filter. Most Dealer techs make very little money on an oil change, so they care less about quality. as where other places check fluids inspect brake hoses, rad. hoses, belts, suspension ect.. Many of our vettes do not recieve the detailed care they deserve.

So if someone offered an oil change for 50$ or 55$ W/Mobil 1 and a stock delco filter (can be substituted) and included a basic inspection. Would most of you be interested?
