I need my oil changed. I've checked the Houston Shops thread, but I'm looking for something other than JTran and Awesome Z. I honestly don't understand how a shop does not carry oil and expects the customer to bring it in. One of the shops was charging $130+ for an oil change...

First JTran & AwesomeZ aren't Jiffy Lubes. LOL They are performance or heavy line maintenance shops. So to keep overhead on motor oil isn't needed. And going at the price of Mobil1 oil and filter... Plus to make their profit and pay their tech to complete an oil change I can see it becoming a $130+ job. Have to remember that shops & techs spend a lot of money to have tools & lifts to complete jobs. If you want a basic oil change go to your local Nissan dealer or Jiffy lube. Personally I would NEVER take my performance car to any quick service shop.

I dont mean to add on to this but Jtran is kinda expensive...I brought the TEIN springs to them last year trying to get installed. But after getting the price quote of almost 300 bucks (287 I recall), I brought them home.
