Would you trust quick oil change place with your Mercedes?
Would you take your Mercedes to quick oil change place like Jiffy Lube or Tire Kingdom, etc for an oil change? Seems like a simple task but can they handle the job?

I wouldn't take a trabant to a quick oil change place.
Cheap filters, incorrect oil/fluids, over and under filled oil, incorrectly torqued oil drain plugs, upsell garbage, overall half-assed workmanship and people with absolutely zero qualification to work on a car, touching your car. for money.
No thank you.

As an incentive for using MBFS, - - - the dealer's finance hombre comp'd the first two payments plus first two 10,000-mile services.
IMHO Jiffy-Lube et al has a risk factor that obviates any possible savings.

Please don't take your Mercedes to a quick change place. I wouldn't trust a Geo to a quick change place.
I usually check Groupon and find a local shop with a deal, check the reviews first obviously. Some people only want the dealer to work on their Mercedes but I can't justify the price difference.
It's not about not having the money, it's just about paying way more than you have to for the same service. Many local shops do great work.
