ya. i did get the inside all cleaned and they filled up washer fluid, air up tires. they woulda checked my trans fluid. but only saab can get to that. they made the bolt or something require a special tool, so only saab dealerships can work on your transmission.... god i cant wait to get a new GTI mk6 or something else, even if the saabs faster than the new GTI's stock. after stage 3 or 4 it wont be.

No It's not. It's maybe $15.
I can't believe this thead is still going.
You Got charged $80 bucks for a syn oil change. That's highway robbery. I do a syn oil change (mind you I only need 4.5 quarts) for around $25. That includes a high end syn oil filter, a bottle of restore and some lucas. $80 and they still use a shitty pinzoil filter. 
I guess it's all personal choice but hey if you want to pay an extra $55 to let some goof do you oil change for you... It's your money. And hey, they did vacuum your car for ya.

It has failed to prevent the cultivation of marijuana and the making of illicit drugs. It has failed to halt the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

im special like that, and i have no where i could even change my own oil. id rather pay a few people then change my oil, replace filter, fill up all the fluids, check tires, dispose of the old oil, and clean the car all by myself out in the 96 degree temp.
i went to a head shop last night. a small perc water bong that was like 10 inches high cost 240 bucks... the same one cost 50 online. now they are pullin some highway robbery there.

First off, Thanks for posting your receipt!  Good to see my "trend" catching on a little. Didn't see that coming at all. I'm glad you did thou....puts things into proper perspective.
To me, $80 seems really high, even while considering the synthetic oil cost. But hey, its your money, you can spend it anyway you like. And maybe tuned, import cars are just more $ to maintain? Besides, its not all bad: you are supporting the mechanics at Pennzoil, which I think is pretty noble in a recession like this.
You know a lot of US people out there are learning how to do it themselves to save on the cost of oil changing. But if you are willing to pay and help workers, power to ya!
Here's to Change...Oil Change.

Next time you want to change the rear diff. oil. DO THAT YOURSELF.
60$ JESUS CHRIST.
All quick lube places are there to rape you.
I worked at one for over a year. I detailed cars and worked in the 'pit' under the car changing oil. They laugh at the super high bills customers rack up. I have laughed with them. People happily pay hundreds of dollars for a car wash/wax + fuild change. Remember that next time you guys go out to get your oil changed.
If it cost 19.99 to get your oil changed THAT is worth it.
Its RIDICULOUS how many suckers are out there.
EDIT.
People working at quick lube places ANY OF THEM are NOT mechanics. REPEAT NOT MECHANICS.

Because some people make more money than you and don't fucking care about trading $100 for someone else to be "in the pit".
It's a fairly simple thing to understand...

My time is worth far more to me than the money I'd save by changing my own oil. Then on top of that I'd have to dispose of the old oil. It's just not worth it to many people.
Plus..... I'd get my hands oily.

“In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims. Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it. Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

lol
I enjoy changing my own oil. I dont enjoy getting ripped off. I dont work at a crappy lube place anymore thank you that was when i was 19. It doesnt matter how much money i make though i still like to be good with money and not waste it.
If you want your oil changed and dont care about the $ take your car to a dealership. Preferably where you bought it. Sometimes they have really good deals too.
Those are real mechanics.

You're right abut the quiklube places, whatever name they use. The base oil & lube is a good deal. Then they spit on some cards and try to get you to buy other shit that you either don't need or isn't a good deal.
