how do you guys deal with oil changes........

Seriously though, are you a girl? You don't want to get your soft hands dirty or something? All you need for an oil change is a jack, jack stand, a oil pan, and a wrench with two sockets (depending what car, probably a 17 for the oil pan nut, and 19 for the lug nuts), and for rotating tires just a jack and a 19mm wrench or the stock wrench that comes with your car would do. If you seriously don't want to do it or can't even find anyone near u that would let you borrow tools, just take it to discount tire and pull the car in yourself and you can stand there and watch (i do this cause i'm a anal ***** and don't like people i don't know driving my shit). Tell them you'll drive your car in yourself.

its not that at all. i can change my own oil, but everytime it needs to be changed i dont have the time. and its not the oil changing part so much, i was just using that as an example...and i personally dont feel safe jacking up half my truck with the shitty jacks that come with it.

O'rly?
I'd like to see you rotate your tires with just the jack and a crescent wrench....

Lol.. I'm not sure where you buy your cars, but mine come with a jack AND a lug bar..

My vehicle is at a transmission shop right now..been there for a week..And all i did was take my faceplate off my stereo..Am I worried? No..

We have a place here that lets you stay in your vehicle when you get your oil changed...And it doesn't take long to get your tires rotated...Just sit and wait and watch?

I'm not sure what planet you live on, but on Earth I've yet to see someone that can move so fast, that they can take one of their tires off, run to the other side of the car, take off a second tire, replace said tire with the first tire that was removed, and then run around to the original side and put the second tire back on before the car fell to the ground.
If you can do that, I suggest that you contact NASCAR. You'd be in high demand.

1: Why the hell would they open your trunk to do an oil change?

2: You worry too much.

3: Leave some loose ammunition in the trunk, just incase they do.

I just go to Walmart Tire and Lube for Oil Change and whatnot... I make sure I know the mechanic working on it.. In fact, I make sure my G/F's brother in law is the one working.. I know he will do it right, at a discount, and he wont steal from me.. I think Rotation, Flat fixing, and something else only cost me $15 last time He did it...
