Hello all,
What is your opinion on using a locally owned oil change shop for routine maintenance versus the dealership?
I have a few friends that use this family owned shop and have no complaints. Both of my Toyotas are currently 100% dealership maintained, but it’s beome a pain to have to wait or drop off the vehicles to get an oil change.
I see the benefit of the dealer as being all they see are Toyota and they’re familiar with them along with keeping up with the recommend service intervals. The pros to the local shop are that the oil change would be much quicker and from what I’ve heard the people are known in the area and very trustworthy, noble people.
One other thing: our 2015 Highlander is right at 60k miles. Wondering what fluids I should be changing at this point (other than oil)?
Side note: I know it would be quickest to do the oil change myself but I’m not interested..I’m in graduate school and we have a 2 year old. I’d rather spend my free time with my wife and son
