I took my car for an oil change.  They of course said I needed a new air filter....which I did.  When they told me they would change it for $28 I scoffed and said I would change it myself.  I then went to Walmart and was shocked to see the filter costs $26!  Nobody can go to Walmart for one thing, right?  I left with a $235 air filter.  SMH 4951

Yea, but Jiffy Lube want to change mine $32, oh but I lucked out and they were out.Stopped at the auto parts store (O'Rielly) and got it for $12Took me 10 minutes to replace it, mostly because of the odd fasteners Honda used to hold it down. 4951

I thought that would be the case with me too!  Only a $2 upcharge from the price is not bad!  Next time I will let them change it or will go to Autozone to get one...I won't go on a shopping spree in there!  LOL! 4951

Reason why my Husband always changes our oil. Always bring a man with you if you do choose to take it in. They like to rip women off the most I've noticed. It was funny when they tried to rip my Husband off, bc he knows cars enough to be a mechanic..boy did they look dumb when he caught them lying. 4951

@Ashley28: Or be a woman who knows a little bit about oil changes and car maintenance. I am the "handy" one is our household, I take the time to research prices, etc.  When I go into a store for a tool or something, I am confident enough that I won't be ripped off and will walk away from someone who tries.

You should've seen me trying to use his air compressor to pump up my stroller tires..I called him bc I was worried about shocking myself on the car battery..I have a fear of electricity/power lines lol..oh and roaches. 4951
