I brought my car to the dealer for one of my free oil changes. I always do my own but I figured since it was free what the hell, ill give it a shot. Anyway, I made an appointment for 9am Saturday morning. I was the 1st one there. How long do you guys think it should take to do the oil change?

If you truly are the first one there, and a tech is completely free and open, approximate time is an hour. For some reason , it seems like the actual waiting time is more like a couple hours…

They have a long check list of stuff they go over. At least they are supposed to. It's not just an oil change.

Should be able to do a oil&filter in 1/2Hr. and that includes a COMPLETE inspection of the bottom of the car. My Dealer takes 1Hr. I think its to long, BUT as long as its FREE, AND they don't screw it up, I'm OK with it!!!!

2 free changes, both were during the week, 9am appt, small line checking in... free internet, coffee, and tv in the waiting room.... less than 1 hour both times...
not bad for a dealer! (but since I waited for it I declined on the car wash so I could get going)

My 1st oil change I dropped the car off at 07:30 and walked <1/2 mile to IHop for breakfast. The techs begin work at 08:00. When I got back to the dealership at 08:45 it was waiting for me.

Sounds about right to me. That's one of the reasons I change mine because of the time and I can be sure it was done right too!
