    Dealership no longer pays for my oil changes!

    Does anyone know where I can get an oil changed for a 2010 vw cc 2.0t for less than $65?

    Easy there... I work in an extremely demanding position and would rather spend that time w/ my fiance/dog/buddies etc... My business has a service that'll take your car for servicing and was trying to find a good price.

    ill be honest i take my car to speedy oil change not only do i only pay 50 or less depending on what im doing but they do it right every time and they heave their i believe 21 point inspection in which they fill all low fluids like transmission and abs the clutch and the coolant and break fluid along with power steering.


    the location i trust is on Castro Valley blvd east in Castro Valley Ca.

    check em out!

    lol, some fluids aren't supposed to be filled but merely monitored.

    if your brake fluid is low, there's a reason for that. you just don't add some more.

    lol my bad i know break fluid is only monitored and when low it also states break pads and transmission should not go low..

    i just added them to kinda get the point out that they check everything and inform the owner of whats next i just didn't type it clearly once again my bad....LOL

    Yeah man I just go to Jiffy lube.

    I mean I don't trust them, but I don't have anything bad to say about them either.

    I ended up choosing Wheel Works - in San Ramon/Danville. One of the partners of my company is getting some new expensive tires and they gave me a great deal on the oil change. $50 and replaced 4 brake light bulbs. Thanks for the helpful posts!

    2010 cc 2.0t the oil filter is atop the engine, the only need to jack the car up is to remove the drain plug and drain the oil from the pan, the engine cover can be removed without tools. the only tools you need to change the oil is a 19mm wrench or ratchet w/ 19mm socket and a oil filter wrench/cap or big ass pliers/ pay a mechanic friend/buddy to do it, these cars are easy, should take no more than 20 minutes.

    a diy oil change only cost you no more than 35-40$ for the oil and filter and half an hour of your time. vw oil changes go 1 year or 10000 miles.
