My opinion is that if you cant at least change your own oil you really 
have no business owning one of these cars, unless you have plenty of 
money to pay a real mechanic.

The monkey lube places serve a purpose for people like my oldest son who have 
little motivation for doing it themselves and have a fairly common vehicle, 
such as his Ford Escape. However, when I had Focci some years back I found the 
dealer did a good job of oil changes in their “fast lane” setup, which of 
course was a ploy to try and upsell you additional services or find stuff that 
was wrong with your car. Once I established that I was not going to bite on 
their upselling, I got along quite well with the service writers at my local 
stealership. To their credit, when there was stuff like a serpentine belt that 
needed to be changed for $75 I would have them do it, as it wasn’t worth my 
time or efforts for that kind of money - and I didn’t have a place to work on 
the car at the time, either.

I would never take one of my MBs to a monkey lube place, however. They won’t 
have the proper filter and don’t know the car well enough to service it 
properly.
