$130/hr labor rate? holy smokes, I'm in the wrong line of business.

 

Another reason I change mine. I was trained by real expert full service gas stations back in '60s, and those men were strict! I cannot tolerate half butted jobs. Do it right. A shop will stay in bidness doing right by customers.

 

No your not. Been in the business for 23 years; operating costs are insane. Most shops do well to make a single digit profit percentage each year.

 

I let the dealer do the first "free" oil change on mine. After that was down to 20% life left on the OLM I changed it myself. Perfect time to install the Fumoto valve and Penzoil Ultra Platinum. I'll still stick to the 20% but I'll do it myself from here on out.
