To this date, have not had anything in the shop. If I didnt have what I needed I would improvise (red neck it) or buy/rent the tool to do it. From stereo installs to engine and tranny swaps, I've done it.

This was hilarious as heck, but lets look behind the scenes.

Take it to quick change oil shop. They curb check the front wheel putting it on the lift. The the young punk tech doesnt get it centered right causing some not seen but ever present undercarriage damage.

Then as all those places do, that work way to fast. He guestimates the plug size and goes to town with the impact wrench, rounding it off. Then has to use channies or vise grips to get it off.

Drains oil, changes filter.

Lets it down on the lift.

Fills the poor engine pan with **** Penzoil 10w/30.

While backing it off the lift, curb checks that front left tire again leaving a nice dent and scratch in the rim.

Woman pays the bill and procedes to drive away.

She drives around town doing her errands and sees the oil light illuminated on the dash but figures as long as the light is on the oil must be ok.

Halfway through her list, the engine seizes up. Remeber the Young Punk? Well the idiot boy didnt tighten the filter enough and striped the threads reinstalling the drain plug.

So lets break it down.

Oil Change Service -24.99
Repair/replace the front wheel -$200
Repair of the undercarriage -$500
Getting it towed to the repair shop -$50
Having to walk everywhere while you wait for the crate motor to come in -$2500

Grand Total = 3274.99
