Maybe it’s just the dealers I’ve used, but it typically take over a 2 hours to get an oil change.... By the time you drive there, check in, get the oil changed , check out and drive home. I do it myself on all vehicles. It’s cheaper, takes the same or less time and there’s no concern(s) about collateral damage while in someone else’s hands.

I never let a dealer do my maintenance. I got an 2016 duramax that I let them do that, but nothing else. I did my first oil change couple weeks ago after the whipple install. Went and bought my oil and filter, "Mobile Synthetic" and 15000 mile Mobile filter. Didn't realize I needed lift pads, so I took it up the road to a 5 minute lube shop and that's what I will do for now own. I have a beater work car that I took to same place months ago as I didn't care too much about the beater, but the way they failsafe check their work, I like it. You stay in the car and can hear every checkoff, then a second tier person jumps in pit and double checks work. Only cost $20 to change.

Yeah some shops won't allow customers in. Theirs do since their oil change area has an underground pit. Quote:
Also, I don't have access to most of my tools at the moment. Of course, when the "free trials" end, that's when I will do it on my own. When I was waiting for my car to get into the shop, I just ordered some parts from the parts department and then did some insurance paperwork on my totaled C7 on my laptop. Not a big deal to me.
