I live in "the sticks" and just take it up the street to the local shop where the tech lets me watch him put in the full syn and filter I GAVE him! My point: just find a good "ma and pa" type place that's been around a while and has built a reputation. Bring your car ONLY there and build a relationship

Yup, the way to go. I actually pay less for an oil change than it actually costs for the oil because the place I go to uses it to bring in new business. Been going there at least 10 years now.

^^^^^ This. I get the feeling that the cheapest place I've found and usually go to = same, and for the same reason.
