I don't know, last year my oil change was around forty bucks, this year it's been closer to a hundred. I think we're just seeing the tip of the spear and the shaft is going to show up pretty soon, though I hope you are right and we don't get the shaft.
- hourislate 5y agoThat's just it, the guy on the skateboard who pays a buck more a day for his Chipotle and SBUX isn't going to notice shit. The guy who feeds his family of 4 (vehicle, cloths, energy, taxes, life) is feeling it.
- alphabettsy 5y agoHow is your oil change more expensive? Oil itself doesn't seem to be more expensive so is it the labor in your case?
- mc32 5y agoI’m not an operator. All I am is a run of the mill automobile owner who needs the car serviced. The prices have gone up why the shops upped the price is not something I’m privvy to. On the other hand fuel prices are up considerably too.
- alphabettsy 5y agoI'm just curious because oil changes do not appear to be more expensive because of supplies. Oil and oil filters cost the same as they did before. Is it possible you just got ripped off?
- mc32 5y agoThat's the price for full synthetic 6 qts. If you like search Groupon for their non-discount prices. Sometimes you can get a 40% discount at the shop near you, but not always. I don't always have the time to drive to the place with a discount.
- alphabettsy 5y agoYou just overpaid. That’s not inflation. I’d recommend your local dealership or Walmart in the future. Oil changes might be the only thing dealerships typically have reasonable prices for.
- mc32 5y agoIt’s not. Just canvass your local locations. They have gone up.
- alphabettsy 5y agoThey haven’t around here, speaking as someone who just had the oil changed on two vehicles for the second time this year. The prices here are the same as they have been in recent years, but I don’t use Groupon.
- ac29 5y agoI just looked at the prices for motor oil at a large chain near me, and 5 qts of full synthetic is $20 (so 6 would be $24). That's a retail price, presumably shops pay less for bulk purchases. If your prices went up by $60 this year, it wasnt because the oil is more expensive.
