It has actually grown to between $35.-40.00 now for an oil change now at Jiffy Lube, though pricing may be regional. I'm in the Washington D.C. area and we get screwed on pricing for everything from food to gas. I'll never take my personal cars there again, but I still have to take my company car there.   Jeff Stewart ----- Original Message ----- > "Quickie lubes" can't make it on $20 oil changes, they are a loss > leader and they have to sell unnecessary add-ons every time or they go > broke.   It's the business model.  Caveat emptor, and you did a good > job teaching your daughter, but in my experience most folks quit doing > this check sooner or later when nothing changes (as it should be). >  Better yet, find a good independent shop for your regular > maintenance. > Stuart
