Robert Paulson Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I just took some oil and a filter I had into cockpit and I was not sure if something was getting lost in translation but he seemed not to want to do the oil change for me. Should I just try another branch or is this their practice? I coulda sworn he was saying I had to buy the oil from them to be able to get it changed there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Just go to another store and give it a try there... Its a difficult one to know for sure. IF they have exactly the same oil as you want... then it should be ok to buy the oil from then, though right ? I found B-Quick to be very good... We had a slow puncture... Took car there, the quickly fixed it in about 5 mins (with a puncture repair kit)... wouldn't accept any payment !!... I guess mileage varies depending on who you are dealing with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that policy from which they get a revenue for their business. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if B-Quick are making more profit from the Oil itself, they can just offset that to service charge, no ??? .... unless they are prevented by a 'digital billing system' and its more of a 'computer says no' situation. OR... another possibility is the Op is very specific about the oil he uses.. (and is not aware its mostly the same anyway)... Or... as you mentioned, the Op is trying to be cheap... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Paulson Posted May 18 Author Share Posted May 18 (edited) I have the oil because I do it myself but haven’t been able to get up to my tools and Jack for a while now. I also have a laundry list of why I do it myself but I won’t bore everyone. Edited May 18 by Robert Paulson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 You got the oil & filter, just change it yourself. I stopped doing it myself, as just too lazy and couldn't be bothered. Along with, they tell you, it voids the warranty if they don't do it, though not sure how true that is. Buy a BEV, no more oil changes ... 😎 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do miss my old trucks. In my Honda I get 70 miles per gallon though so I’m never going back. It sucks changing the oil though I’ll admit full well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Paulson Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 13 hours ago, it is what it is said: next you'll be complaining you took your own food into a restaurant and asked them to cook it for you That’s actually very common. It’s funny a couple people brought up common things that in what I’ll call normal societies are completely normal yet it seems outlandish to some of us because we’re so mind controlled. All over Greece and Italy you can bring fish you’ve caught into restaurants. You can even do that here in Thailand, or most places in the world for that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
