My newly purchased used Acura was due for an oil change. I took it to Mr. Tire because they were within walking distance of my home. I asked for an oil change and asked them to check the other fluids, as I didn't know what the dealer had put in there.\r
Not too much later, they called and told me I could come pick it up. I was shocked when the well trained mechanic explained to me that all of my fluids were looking good, the battery was good, and the tires were in good shape. He explained that the transmition fluid was a little low, but the car required Honda ATF, and they didn't keep it in stock (most mechanics wouldn't have known this or would have replaced it with any other ATF causing a much bigger problem).\r
They didn't try to scare me into any other maintenance or make up any "necessary" repairs, and there were no hidden costs.\r
I paid for the oil change and left with a sound mind.
