When I was young, there used to be a Chevron Station down the street from me, and the man who owned it was a trusted guy in the neighborhood, and was qualified, and dependable. My dad used to take the SD up there and his 96 DeVille, the 85 Cougar and his old 85 Town Car before it was totalled up there for oil changes until Chevron closed it down about 3 years ago. Chevron wanted to close down the service stations that serviced cars and had car washes for some reason. But the people who worked up there knew what they were doing whenever they were servicing. The car never had any major mechanical problems when he changed our oil for us. I don't know now though, but some people at service stations and large chains arent trustworthy, qualified and dependable as the man who used to do oil changes for us. So I don't think I'd go to places like that to get my oil changed now. I'd rather have the qualified MB independent tech change the oil for me.
