Oil Change in or around East Atlanta
« on: November 04, 2010, 07:32 pm »
Disclaimer:  Before I ask the following question, and for purposes of avoiding those of you who will judge me for not changing the oil myself:  I do not have time to do it myself (which is why I pay others to provide the service).

My current mechanic is located in Buckhead, but for simple things such as an oil change, I'd like to go to somebody reputable close to EAV.  Any suggestions?

Ride On Auto Repair on the corner of Memorial and Chester.  They'll also take your used oil, for the do-it-yourselfers.

Armor Tire does mine. Very cheap and I can trust they're disposing of the used oil properly.

Armor always does us right for the small stuff.  Plus you can wait in Joe's and have a delicious cup of coffee!   :D

LOVE the place on the southeast corner of Moreland and Memorial - they are super nice and get the job done well.

I just had one done, and I think it varies from car to car (depending on oil filter prices, type of oil used, etc.)  I think mine was in the $30-35 range.

That's where I go too...nice people.

I have had it done at Armor, but sometimes Gene is backed up and can't get to a quick oil change as fast as a place that's dedicated to doing just that.

Yep, +1 Armour, that's where we always go too.  Plus they always check and refill all the other fluids too at no extra charge.  Great, quick service always for us.
