The oil change is what sticks out! Valvoline Racing Oil (10W30) is $4.19/Qt here, Wix filters (Gold) are 4.99 at O'Reilly. 10 qts=41.90+4.99=46.89---how did we get to $128!!!!!! And $35 LABOR?!?!?! I'm sorry, but you got hammered and I can see why you needed to vent! And I can assure you the tech didn't see that $! Most Labor Guides show .2/.3 hr MAX for a LOF (lube,oil filter) and IF the tech is making $70/FRLH he made $21 MAX. What does the shop owner drive (besides his customers)???
