I brought my Ford Taurus to Patriot for the first time yesterday for their "basic $12.95 oil change. Once Bobby one of their service advisers informed me just what you get for $12.95 (bulk oil), I opted to go with their next level up for an oil change that they offered ... $26.95.
The basic $10.00 difference was, with the BETTER oil, I'll be able to go 5K miles vs. the max. 3K miles before my next oil change. Note ... there is NOTHING wrong with the $12.95 oil change, but as much as I like a "deal", I also don't want to be back in 3K miles for another $12.95 oil change.
Two thumbs up for their customer lounge which include coffee, tea, donuts, and a 55" flat screen TV.
