**Please Read**
We fought it for as long as we could. We really do try our best to keep prices down, but our oil distribution rep just stopped by to let us know that our bulk oil pricing is going up...again.
This is the second massive price hike in the last few months.
On top of that he expressed concerns about shortages. (Hopefully it doesn't come to that, though we did have a hard time getting 5W20 last month)
So we're going to be forced to raise our oil change prices by $10.
BUT
Unlike everything else, that's seems to have only gotten more expensive, THE SECOND things go back to normal, we're going to drop the price.
Here's hoping things go back to normal soon!

We've gotten a few questions about the current state of taking on new clients, so we wanted to answer them as publicly as possible. **See our website for more info.**

1: We are still taking family members.
2: We're not slowing down taking new cars, we're just slowing down taking new clients. Don't stress out about adding new / additional cars to your existing account.
3:We haven't gotten too busy to do your oil change. We keep hearing this one. We appreciate the concern, but part of the reason we're doing this is so that we can do as much as possible for the folks we already have.

Thanks for sticking with us!

Again, check out the website for more info:

To help with call volume we've had to implement a call tree. We know, we know: robots suck, but we're going to try it for a little while and see it improves our efficiency.
Also: we're putting a temporary hold on accepting new clients. We're getting too far behind and we want to focus on taking care of our existing customers in a more timely manner.

Thanks for understanding!

Sooo many people have asked us what kind of car they should buy. Like, it's a daily question. This has prompted us to write a short article on the subject.

We seem to be having a bit of phone difficulties. Currently, Verizon customers can't seem to get through to us, but everyone else can. Until this gets sorted out, if you need us you can text us here, or through our website and we'll call you back. Sorry about the hassle.
