Quick Lube Places / Mechanic Recomendations
Car oil is the most annoying thing ever! You would think that somebody could build a car that doesn't eventually start leaking oil...
Anyway, Im looking for people to recommend a real good quick lube place I can start going to, i'm sick of going to the following two places:
Place 1 - Filled with a bunch of high school drop outs who are making 10.50 per hour, and try to tell me that such and such a part is broken - that has absolutly nothing to do with the oil change - and miraculously they have some way of fixing it for $119.99, by playing with the fluids.
Place 2 - Every car that pulls in "Badly Needs" a transmission flush and fuel service. ... Ummm can you just change my oil and get me out of here. I'm really not convinced when I hear the staff competing with each other on howmany "upsells" they had that day.
I've only found one shop in Calgary that I like going to as I don't usually get the run around, and that is minuit lube in crowfoot. Unfortunatly the other location on 16th ave seems to be like the places I just described. I find that the crowfoot location is just not very convienent for me any more and I need some more options.

I had a great mechanic who was licensed worked for 20+ years, and used to teach in the profession. It was great: perfect repairs, good price, and worked out of his Garrage which obviously kept his overhead low. Unfortunatly he moved, and my experiment with other shops has been a bust. Does anybody have a good recommendation on a qualified local Mechanic that has a reasonable hourly rate?
