Free oil Change? Bay area

Dinan Motorsports, famous for their work and performance mods on BMW,
had an ad in today's Mercury News announcing they now work on
Mercedes, and to welcome the new Mercedes Clientele they would be offerring free oil changes and safety inspection until 01.01.10....
they have 4 locations to serve you....

I for certain will be all over this one....
I'll report back after I get my free 7 quarts of Mobil 1 ???
Or will they offer me Penzoil crap oil and tell me I gotta pay a bunch o money for the synthetic?
Can it be true? I mean, it's gonna cost them $100 overhead to impress me
to take my car to them in the future?

In fact I do find that impressive.

Mann Filter + 7 quarts of Mobil 0w-40.
Done! They were super nice, and did a great job.
Let me get a good look underneath, checked the brakes etc.
Thanks Dinan!

maybe they wanna jack your MB parts for their BMW projects, that's why they offer you easy free oil change just to get under your car

Ha Jordan...that's why I watched the whole time.
I just couldn't believe it.
My car doesn't need any repairs currently so it was kind of a bust for them,
no money to be had from me at the time.
Well, I do seem have some oil or power steering fluid leakage on the bottom...
they didn't say anything about what it might be....have to pay for that.

I knew you'd be on this.

I was in and out in less than an hour, maybe a tad more.
I you have to do is call and make an appt.
