No matter the cost or perceotion, oil changes are a money losing deal for mechanic.
Every place I ever worked we got paid .2 hours (note the decimal…) to do an oil change; a whopping 12 minutes for the entire process including time spent cursing at the parts dept. to hurry it up and the associated paperwork.
Recently I was made aware of a dealer who cut the .2 down to .1. A measly 6 minutes. Think any mechanic is going to give a crap or act in a conscientous manner while being paid in bread crumbs…
