Wow the oil change place didn't check your battery connections? That's a load of crap! This is why I have again started back doing my own maintenance/repair on my cars as much as I can anyway. What got me back doing it was when I took my Mustang into the Ford place for an oil change and they scratched my car pretty bad down low in the front. It appeared they run a floor jack or something into it. It was on a plastic part but the thing that mad me angry about it is they brought my car out to me and never said a word about it. I did not notice the scratch until I saw it after stopping for gas. I thought about going back but they would just say they didn't do it. That did it for me.
