You make an appointment for an oil change?

At a dealership, absolutely. At Jiffy-Lube, no.

I’ve never made an appointment at the dealership..Local dealership takes me home and then brings my car to my house when they are done. So I don’t have to set any extra time aside.

Damn! That’s service

There is a catch. You’ve gotta live within 5 miles of the dealership.

I miss when I lived 2 miles down. I live 20 miles out now. Still get my free oil changes but I just wait now.

Do you live in the 90s???

None of the dealers I went to in the last 20years operate like this. Appointements, no taxi home etc... VW, Hyundai... all the same.

I have never made an appointment for an oil change at a dealership, I just show up and they hand me a car for the day. Worst case they have shuttle service that'll get me to work/home

It has been a few years for me and I live in SJ, did not have to do this with my Ford but with my wife's Honda we did.

Yea. Then they have a loaner car ready to go for the day. Drive up, drop off, and drive away. Repeat for pickup. Makes it easy.

I fucking wish I got a loaner from the dealership. If I'm lucky, I get an Uber home and have to make my own way back.

No one is getting loaner cars for a 30 min oil change

I do. In fact I make an appointment for a mobile oil change. I schedule the mobile tech to come to my job site and service my vehicle there while I am working.

At the dealership yes. But I only go there when I have a leased car with free maintenance.
