I never knew Walmart did oil changes.

Maybe just the ones around here don't.

I used to work in the TLE as a support manager/Tech

There are 3 levels of oil changes

11.94 - cheap craptastic oil change for the people who cant give a rats butt about their car....uses supertech *snickers*

15.88 or somthing - Quakerstate dino oil...not bad if you dont plan on keeping the car much longer

25.?? for the synthetic oil change up to 5 quarts

Of coures you can always request any shelf oil to be swapped in for $2.00 more...but still...Walmart workers suck sometimes my idiot workers would drive the car out without a filter which then drained oil all over the cement when we brought it back in to put one on...so stupid....walmart needs to get out of that part of business.

I went to a Walmart in TN. and they charged me 25.00 for a full mobil-1 oil change. They'll take anything off the shelf if you request it.

If I knew I could trust them, I'd definitely be on top of that.

yeah, no trust for me!

Heard of more than one vehicle driving about 5 miles away from the Walmart back home and the engine siezing up. Most of the time... they forgot to put oil back in it

Also my brother saw they would change your tires (if you provide new tires) for like $10 each mounted and balanced.

So he takes his old Avenger there, and they bust one of the rims. They tell him they can't do it and they need to buy him a new rim. So he goes in there and shows the employee how to use their tire machine the correct way and does a tire. Then he does it how they did it and broke another rim. Anyway, he got some decent rims out of that deal (looked like stock).

I guess I forgot to add they broke the dipstick on the Zetec. It cost me $14.00 to replace but mom's got a free oil change and was just as happy as could be.

Uhmmm...if they charge $25 for the full oil change, how are they making a profit? The oil itself is $25 if they only do 5 qts as the guy who worked for them stated (Mobil-1 is approx. $5/qt). That's a hell of a deal.
