What's this?

I usually go to the quick oil change places in Christiansburg (there's a

New one across from Sheets) and they've all been just fine. They change your oil. That's it. They'll check your air filter and wiper blades and let you know if they need changed but your welcome to say no. They don't pressure you. The newest place(Valvoline Oil Change or something like that) you sit in your car and you can watch them on a screen with cameras under the car and all around so you can see what they're doing. They also have a screen that shows a detailed account of what the charges are. That's where I will go from now on.
As far as an actual shop, I love Modern Automotive behind the Farmhouse. The manager is very honest and super nice.
