Why I Change My Own Oil
I am not implying that a MB dealer would let such things happen but below is why I now do my own light maintenance on all my vehicles. I caught a chevrolet dealership not doing a coolant flush for me once and on my MB they forgot to tighten the drain plug and it leaked oil on my garage. Please see video below. Some Jiffy lubes were recently caught on camera. 5 out of 9 did not perform the services.

I haven't paid for an oil change, brake job, etc for as long as I remember. I enjoy working on my cars including installing headers, CAI, and other fun stuff!
