Cheeman,

It sounds to me like the free oil change was to get you in to see if they could soak you for high prices for all this other stuff.

Like a previous suggestion, get a second opinion, and don't spend a dime with these guys until you've had some very good references about them.

If a shop is good and reputable in this day and time, they don't need to run free oil change specials to stay buisy.

I would proceed very cautiously.

Good luck,
