    I was getting oil change at T/A today and was quoted regular price I pay. Later at time of payment desk lady supervisor informed her of price increase. They did honor price they originally quoted me but price of Fleetguard and all other filters they carry went up. They now want extra $40 for Fleetguard filter.
    Anyone else aware of this?

    TA has and continues to raise prices on everything and anything and then you gotta pay for a reserved spot on top that... I've been done with them for a couple months no plans on returning either.

    You need a bank loan just to eat supper at Popeyes.

    My local speedco said they no longer would carry fleetguard. I said well ok let me supply my own. They said that’s fine but you still have to pay for our filter but we will use yours. What the...?

    Turns out after I said no and I’ll walk then all of a sudden they carried fleet guard again. I’ll have to check prices now that you mention this.

    I think it's a Fleetgaurd increase. I have always bought my filters st MHC Kenworth in Little Rock. I went in on the way home and picked up fuel oil and air filters I noticed a price increase for sure
