  1. Mr. Lube. , Pen10, Oil changers, Jiffy Lube are all examples of oil change specialists. These places also claim to not void warranties by following guidelines such as recommending Dexos for GM applications. And it depends on the shop. Many shops will have all of their techs, licensed or not perform oil changes / tire swap and or rotations the first part of their mornings, usually from open until 10-10:30, especially during busy seasons.
  2. In and around Peterborough there are lots of good shops, with honest mechanics and service managers. I worked in the trade for 10 years, and continue to deal with many of the shops in the region as a part of my employment. As others have said, your best bet for savings and peace of mind, is to do it yourself. Buy a floor jack, learn your safe lift points underneath your vehicle, apply parking break / block your wheels, and crawl under there. As far as this "void your warranty" nonsense goes, it's a very common misconception. The Stealerships, as I like to call them, lead you to believe this, and want you coming back for the life of the vehicle so that they can continue to ream you. So long as any licensed technician or licensed oil change specialist performs the service, you will not void any warranty. I do everything I can on my car because I hate anyone else touching it. I've seen some serious butchery and manglers in my time working in shops. Breaking bolts, neglecting to put in bolts, hiding damage, super glues, epoxies, JB weld, it is all very common. Bolts rust, plastic gets brittle and breaks.
  3. Daiwa reels have never done me wrong
  4. Just got my 2nd Lews BC reel in the mail, the new Super Duty. Can hardly wait to try it this weekend. Who else loves Lews?
  5. After taking a few years off, this fish on this particular night re-kindled my love for the sport. Now, once again, I am all about it!
