Let me start by saying that I worked several years as a service advisor for a local dealership in the past. That being said, I am very particular on who I let work on my vehicle. \r
\r
Upon driving up to Discount Car Clinic I did see the $19.77 oil change sign. Not that I needed to know, but the service advisor did actually look up the recommended oil for my particular vehicle according to the manufacturers specifications. I have been to other shops before that just try to put in the bulk 10w30 oil, assuming that all customers are just cheap. I was actually able to watch them open brand new quarts of Mobil 1 Full Synthetic motor oil and put it into my vehicle. \r

As for the shop itself, hands down, the most beautiful shop in the area. They have two lobbies with flat screen televisions, leather sofas and chairs, wi-fi access, gourmet coffee, free beverages and plenty of reading material. They even have a kids play area with toys. The bathrooms are extremely clean and spacious, and best of all they have four, not just that unisex closet that most shops call a restroom. \r

The service was great. I know some people are turned off by sales people, but the crew here did their job. I did not feel any pressure and they did not force me to buy anything. They did advise me of services that were needed and the scheduled maintenance that was coming up. As for the prices, they are on par with other ""MAJOR"" shops in the area. I am not the kind of customer who will go to a ""LESSER"" shop just to save a buck. I prefer to deal with a shop with knowledgeable employees and state of the art equipment. \r

My overall experience was great. I personally prefer to give my business to a local business man over a corporation or chain, so this shop was just what I was looking for. It is hard to find a small business owner who does things the right way. I am just glad I finally did. Thanks guys!!
