Oil Change Oil Schmange

There are times when I don't like to be upsold. When I'm sitting in the car with two crabby kids before lunch time waiting for an oil change, that would be one time, for instance. And why as me if I'd like my lights checked? Windshield washed? Tires checked? Am I paying for it? Then DO IT.

Ok, I'm done ranting now. I think.
