  We recently moved to the area and decided to use this business for a oil change and filter. I wanted to use a specific brand name filter and synthetic oil and they said no problem. Had some sticker shock at a $91 bill, but paid the bill and went about my way. I decided to do my own oil changes from now on and today when I tried to get the oil filter housing off, I had to use a impact wrench to loosen it up. Moron must have used a impact wrench to tighten the filter housing. Oh, and by the way, $8.38 for the filter I wanted and 6 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic at $4.50 a quart. I know they did the work and have to make some money, but $91.
  
  Yes, I wanted the specific oil as you mentioned and I also wanted a specific oil filter which is a off the shelf item at any NAPA store. I've been in the oil and chemical industry for close to 40 years and I've never heard of matching a better oil filter to synthetic oil. That filter housing could be empty and the oil would still do it's job for a while. As far as your oil prices, you need to talk to your supplier because he must be overcharging you since you don't believe you overcharged me. I can get 6 quarts of the oil I specified for around $30.00. And the NAPA Gold oil filter, which I paid $8.38 for is hopefully the one you put in. So that comes to around $40.00 and you charged me $85.41. Most suppliers will deliver the oil and filter to your shop, so there was no running to get the supplies. So that looks like $45.00 to just change the oil and filter ? I realize you're in business and need to make a profit, but $45.00 for less than an hour ? And I have the special Toyota oil filter wrench and using a socket and breaker bar I could not loosen the housing. Even the impact wrench had a tough time getting the housing loose. The housing has machine threads and uses a o-ring for the seal, not brute force. One of your people went nuts tightening the housing, plain and simple. As far as saying something a year ago, I should have questioned the charge, but the overtightened filter housing is what set me off. I now know to never use your business and if someone asks, I would not recommend your business.
