"The most elaborate structured oil change I've personally ever witnessed. Called ahead of time for an opening & with a very friendly voice, the son of the owner invited me to come on over. As soon as I pulled in front of their overhead door, it started upward & the son of the business owner was standing on the other side of the shop waving me in to where he was standing. As soon as I placed it in park & rolled down the window I'm receiving a question of what I'd like done. He immediately communicates my desires to his team, of whom, are already set up to start on command. I never had to exit the vehicle. I'm immediately seeing the motor hood fly up & feeling someone below the vehicle beginning to drain the oil. I felt like I was part of an INDI car race. Kept hearing checks & accomplishments being barked out back & forth. He continues to give me updates & options for my vehicle as work is being carried out. Wasn't paying any attention to the period of time from start to finish since I've never experience anything like it before, but it couldn't have been any longer then 20 min. max. They had oil changed with BG additive, all fluid levels checked & radiator filled to proper amount, lubed & greased necessary ports around chassis & checked for any leakage with differential in hardly no time at all. After paying a reasonable price, I left there almost flabbergasted at what I just went through. They are definitely my to go to with my vehicles from here on out, as far as I'm concerned."
