| - It was time for an oil change, and I've received coupons advertising Purrfect Auto Service in the past, with an unbelievable price of $9.95. On this date, I didn't have a coupon, because I've driven past the business in the past, and they advertise the $9.95 price on two sides of their business building.
I walked into the store, and asked for the $9.95 oil change. The first thing that the cashier said was that I had to have a coupon for that deal. I briefly pointed out that the price is ADVERTISED on their building in two places, but it was to no avail. I must have looked confused and frustrated, because the cashier asked, "What kind of car do you drive?" I told him "Saturn Ion", and was told "Oh even with the coupon, we wouldn't do that price for that car." I guess this was supposed to make me feel better. It didn't. Then, I boldly went to the question that hardly mattered at this point, because I wasn't going to reward these guys for deceptive advertising: "What does an oil change cost for my car?" He said "$29.95". I muttered/stuttered, and headed for the door.
I have no idea what kind of car qualifies for the $9.95 oil change. If you have the time, stop by and find out. Bring $29.95 plus tax if you actually expect your oil changed.
