Corporate came down from above and sold off the location that was also an oil change place . The manager now runs a stand alone car wash and he and I get along really well. I miss the discounts on the ultra platinum oil as well as filters. Ultra platinum oil change + intake air filter + cabin air filter = 80$. I don’t think I can buy the supplies for this for that price let alone have it all done for free in winter.
Sadly, time moves on. I asked an oil change place that shares a parking lot with another of our car washes if they do discounts but they are corporate owned by Valvoline so there’s some dick measuring that goes on every time it gets brought up. I’m hoping I can schmooze their managers a bit and see if I cant cheese out some discounts for myself and the other employees in exchange for some *coughcough*TestingAndValidation*coughcough* of our premium car wash passes.
Yellow car for your time.

Why change the air filter, tho?
My litmus test for any new place I go to have an oil change is to replace/refresh the filter first and see if they tell me it’s dirty. Doubly if I explicitly tell them not to check it.

I asked them to because everything is like 60-70 off thanks to the discount so it’s a “why not?” sort of thing. I also have 25k on the car and the filter was changed at 15k so it’s not like the filter was brand new.

Fair.
My Miata has one of those dumbass K&N filters, and I’d rather die than bother recharging that fucker.

Having been one of those techs, I appreciate the fact that I get to just chill in my car for 20 minutes in a Michigan winter while my car gets the official motorcraft filters and the synthetic oil too. I feel a bit bad about it, but I can’t NOT use that perk to have some techs that I know do that grunt work for me while it’s snowing outside.
