L & L Auto Repairs

Be Aware! They have a sign that says «Oil Change 18.95». I go there for an oil change and I knew it would be a little more because it states that the 18.95 was for 5 quarts of oil and my car takes 7 quarts of oil. I figured that if 5 quarts of oil and a filter are around $ 19, an additional 2 quarts of oil would be $ 6 — $ 7 more. When the oil change was done, the old man asked me if I can pay cash and I said I could. He says «That will be $ 40». I said «$ 40?». He said that I had 2 additional quarts of oil and an insert filter instead of the standard filter. So, 2 quarts of oil and an insert filter cost more than 5 quarts of oil and a regular filter? I looked up what the cost of an insert filter for my car was and it was $ 6.50 retail for a Purolater, which of course they don’t use. The insert filter is maybe $ 2 more, $ 3 at the most. It should have been $ 8 — $ 10 more, not $ 21. I think a call to the BBB is in order. One other thing, if you call and ask how much an oil change for your car is, the old man wont tell you. Talk about a con artist.

I have used these guys for years now. They are honest, decent people. They don’t charge for things you don’t need. That is rare in the business of cars. Generally, their prices are much lower than dealership pricing and certainly competitive with most garages. In many cases even lower. .but they know what they are doing.
