i admit (sheepish) having used these places in the dead of winter but i always stand over them and direct their every move + hope the guy in the hole can actually r+r the drain plug without totally stripping it and ruining the oil pan!

i never let 'em touch the diff though.

edit: i spoke too soon the instant oil change place stripped the drain plug on the wife's car fortunately the pan was ok so it only cost the 2 bux for the new plug...
needless to say i'm never gonna allow it to go there ever again.
these places are an absolute menace imho.

our town has a convenient place to recycle the old oil so there is really no excuse to not do the job at home.
