Needing Oil Change and Tire Rotation

[AdamB]

I am used to doing this work in the garage with my dad, but I don't have the capability to do those things since moving here. Do you guys have any recommendations for reasonably priced oil changes and tire rotations? Since my family has never had this work done at a shop, I am not even sure what price to expect to get decent oil, a good filter, and an X pattern swap. I am thinking this would be about 30-45 for an oil change and about the same for a rotation. Please let me know if I'm way off and recommendations on where to get this done at! I need to get this done by Thursday at noon, so any info on places that do quality work and if they allow walk ins or if they require appointments and pricing would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks folks!

Double that price range and add more depending on the oil and filter used.

Most places want to add an alignment or balance to tire rotation. Double or triple that price range.

Some places have coupons that will save you a bit.

Ford quick lane did have a special for oil change and rotation for 69.95. Not sure if valid now. Oil changes are crazy price with synthetic. Local Mobil wants 100.00 for Mobil 1 change plus fee for rotation. Still doing mine on carport using ramps with Mobil 1 with filter for 30.00. Any chance for you to have access to ramps on flat concrete or pavement?

I change mine in the driveway using a floor jack. Frame changed the long filter to a short one, AC filter is short and a few dollars cheaper. Checked ratings it's the same as Frame. I get my oil at the auction house, usually $3 to $4 per quart might get a gallon for $15, 5 qt jug for $20. Last time in walmart a 5 qt jug was $30. Get the oil drain pan at Dollar Tree. If it gets trashed you're out $1.25. I use them as large flowerpot saucers. I use their fuel treatment, 2 bottles per tank every 4 to 6 months.

Just stay away from those "QUICK LUBE" business or you'll have more than a oil change to pay for. I'd check around for some local garages or ask your neighbors or friends were to take it, if you don't have the necessities to do it your self.

I go to gateway tire. Tire rotation and oil change is about 60$. 

I did buy the tires there for about 10 years,  I assume they still think they came from there.
