Oil Change Pricing and the Real Value

Jennifer and I believe that it's important that we give our customers the best service possible, at the best possible price. We spent a lot of time considering what our pricing should be. So with careful consideration, we decided that our oil change service should start at $35.95. We considered the pricing for doing it yourself as the greatest comparison. With the average ticket price at any other brick-and-mortar facility being more than our price, we know that the time savings alone makes our value far above theirs. After all, consider:

1. No waiting to get in for service
2. No waiting in a waiting room while being serviced
3. No hassle of trying to get in on a weekend
4. No hassle of a salesperson trying to cover shop expenses by upselling
5. No 'courtesy' shuttles or loaner cars that are never on time or quite what you expected.

Instead, this is what we do:

1. We come to where you are so you can keep doing what you are doing
2. We communicate electronically to keep you informed without interrupting
3. We maintain professional certification and business coverage to cover your interests
4. We are clean, courteous and professional
5. We take pictures of what we recommend so that you are informed
6. We won't sell just to push our tickets up

Since we don't have the overhead of a shop, we can succeed without burdening our customers. At $35.95, we cover the assumed $15.00 for materials, the assumed $10.10 for fair labor and another $10.00 for performing a service call. Consider the price of a service call from a plumber, electrician, heating or cooling expert, or just about any other service provider, and we think our customers will agree that our price has exceptional value!
