I just had real sticker shock at the mechanic today.

Went for a routine oil change for my minivan. Put in synthetic oil.

Total bill was $86.22

I’m pretty sure I was paying around $60 not that long ago.

Is this the regular rate now? Was I overcharged?

For those interested, the breakdown was:
52.73 for the oil
20.00 for labor
3.99 waste oil disposal fee
7.50 new oil filter
8.13 shop supplies
-10 coupon discount
+tax

That's on the higher end but not crazy. My last oil change was $75+tax from one of the mobile companies. I think synthetic would've cost more

Mines about the same at express oil and lube. Great service and price is comparable

Got one yesterday $96 higher end car so maybe that’s why it was more (Range Rover)

Yes same. Synthetic oil costs more but lasts longer. We buy the oil ourselves and it's cheaper that way.

I pay about that for Smooth mobile oil and they come to my house and do it while I sit inside . I think I paid $90 for my van last but I could be off a few dollars

Okay thanks all.

I guess I just don’t remember how much I usually pay.

Glad I wasn’t ripped off, as I tried out a new place.

Smooth oil charges $90 but they come to you so it's definitely worth the extra few dollars
