Charged twice as much than the dealership. I will wait an hour at the dealership to save nearly $50. Also used synthetic oil. Sticker said next oil change due in 3 months or 3,000 miles. Someone needs to inform them with synthetic, it's 5 months or 5,000 miles

I would like to bring your attention to my experience with Meineke West Chester, PA. I took my car for the simple state inspection. They gave me an estimate of around $1300.

Valvoline Instant Oil Change vs …
How would you compare Valvoline Instant Oil Change vs Meineke?
From my experience, Valvoline is absolutely a better choice for an oil change than Meineke. However, satisfaction is based on the specific location AND the technicians. The counter-technician at the Meneike location in Chesterfield, MO, was either not knowledgeable or flat out lied about the manufacturer’s “required” oil to be used in my vehicle & “refused” to change my oil unless I opted for a much more expensive oil.
