Tinmanoilchange.com is attempting to lower the national average price of an oil change from around $35 to under $10. The service is a loss leader and is meant to get customers in. This presents an amazing opportunity for small shops to begin and cultivate relationships built on trust with new customers. I plan on pressuring shops to lower their prices (and increase their quality) by posting the best deal in every major city in the US.
- orangethirty 14y agoAt $35, the oil change is already a loss leader. And it also fails to get people in the door, due to how car companies these days include maintenance for the first 3 years into the warranty. I plan on pressuring shops to lower their prices (and increase their quality) by posting the best deal in every major city in the US. Are you a mechanic yourself?

This means that there is a greater consumer need now for service and maintenance than ever before (at least in the last 18 years). I've seen a growing trend of shops, like LaFontaine, offering coupons approaching the $10 mark and hovering there. I should put together this data on a chart. source: http://www.995oilchange.com/ http://www.995oilchange.com/ I am not a mechanic but a family member owns a repair shop in Miami.
