I don't know much about getting an oil change but I paid $77 for the usual 5000 miles/6 month routine. I found out later an oil change should cost around $30 - $50 unless you get synthetic oil which can be a more expensive. However, I have a vehicle that is 15 years old and didn't need the more expensive synthetic brand. I feel like I was penalized for my ignorance. I Googled what an average oil change should cost and here is what I found:
According to Angie's List pricing data based on recent member reviews, the national average for a basic oil change using conventional oil is $46. The minimum price was $25, with $50 being the most expensive. According to Cost Helper, an oil change typically costs $20 to $55. Using synthetic oil bumps the price to $45 to $70 on average.
I will make sure I check the Yelp reviews before I do business again. I could have avoided this whole situation if I took the usual precautions.
