Friday Funny - Why Yes, I Do Know How To Change The Oil In My Car

By
Real Estate Agent with Lisa Von Domek Team TX License #0552989

Just a little humor for Friday...this was prompted by an earlier post by Bob "RealMan" Timm asking if you knew how to change the oil in your vehicle (a useful skill set).  I had responded with my step-by-step instructions and thought it might make you laugh:

 

Well yes, I certainly do know how to change the oil in my cars!

1)  Get in car

2)  Start car

3)  Drive to dealership

4)  Sit in the relaxing luxury waiting lobby and enjoy a delicious freshly brewed cup of gourmet coffee

5)  Pay for oil change

5)  Get back in my clean car (they wash it when service is done)

I have compared prices Brian England and they are only a few dollars more, so I stay with my dealership...plus, my car is still under warranty.

After my last experience I am much more likely to follow your advice than to do it myself again Lisa Von Domek . Thanks for the shout out and for your perfect answer .

That is great! It would be my way to change the oil too except my husband was a service director for three car dealerships and he has always handled it. LOL

Hello Lisa - while I did learn how to do this task many years ago, I follow your similar routine today.

I also read Bob's post. We have a favorite local shop that handles the oil changes and any needed servicing.

Lisa,

And that is how it should be done.  In our dealership, I can bring my laptop and work on their secure wifi, brew myself a cup of coffee, or any other beverage that they have in their well stocked refrigerator...And the car is washed!  A

Hi Lisa, you and I know the same people. I love that they do a little extra and wash the car. Now that is worth getting the oil change.
