auto repair prices

now that crude oil is high priced, it seems like motor oil is also rising in price. I usually change it myself since it is one of the few things a home mechanic can do these days. it also gives me a chance to inspect the underside of the car. I saw and ad at a local shop for an oil change for about $15 but than they threw in a $2.50 charge for oil filter recycling charge. and to think I was going to take the old oil filter home with me. maybe they should only charge $5 for the oil change and than add $15 for filter recycling? or how about FREE oil change but $20 oil filter charge? its somewhat annoying to see ala carte pricing for auto repair. just my opinion.

Annoying isn't it? Unless they offer some superior service or have a good rep, I just quietly avoid places like that.

There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises
