For 50 I'll change your oil, but for an extra 25 I'll throw in the express package where I use an impact wrench to save you time and money, because time is money.

* Additional fees for loc-tite and/or replacement bolt, not liable for failure of oil pan once out of garage.

Lmao @ $50 for an oil change

That's a deal. They usually are nearly 2x the price.

The difference is made up when you need an entire new oil pan, because you won't find out until later down the road and even then it's too late anyways. Because I gotta go fast and screw it to death.

Speaking of garbage oil changes, many moons ago when I was still new to the act of driving(think I'd been driving for a year or so) my parents got an oil change at one of those quick stop service stations that litter the landscape. Paid for the oil change, assumed the deed was done. Bout a week later while I was driving "oil light is on... and now off... and on again" and ofcourse I was told it was probably a mistake or I didn't see it right. Turns out the car with 160k miles on it was driven for over a week under commute/shopping/etc load with no oil in it beyond what remained in the filter. They didn't even check their own oil yet acted at the time like if I so much as glimpsed under the hood I'd ruin the car somehow.

Engine siezed about a month later, with oil ofcourse, but the crankshaft warped and melded to the block, bending a few connecting rods as well. Transmission's reverse also somehow grenaded itself under the dealership mechanic's care... which I find suspicious.
