    No that price is just oil change. I do my own greasing. Costs me $5 and about 20 minutes to do it front to back

    TA Ultimate PM is about 310. Includes filters, grease, and oil. They have lower levels of service for less, too.

    I grease mine also. TA and the majority of shops dont even grease half of the fittings that are on the truck. That way it gives me a chance to get under the truck and check everything else out as well.

    Maybe YOU should read the whole post. Then you would see. No where does anybody except YOU, mention the amount of profit t/a makes. And in fact will see the last 3 or 4 references (including mine you quoted) are in responce. To another poster saying they are doing pm's at a loss.

    Find a Sapp Bros. They are the best price on oil changes, and used tires when needed.

    Yes they have reward cards. And you get a free meal with PM. I think they use luberfiner filters.

    I believe those are cheap filters, equivalent of Fram.

    I have no problem with luberfiner. I rather prefer them.
