because they are cheap, duh

thats where i get my car's oil changed anyway

Its cheaper to just learn how to do it yourself.

Plus, that way you dont have to give any money to walmart.

I know how to do it myself, but when they do the oil and filter change for $15  and just the oil and filter by themselves would cost me 13ish the 2 dollars is worth them doing the work while i dhop

Best one I know was done by a friend.  He had gotten some work done on his vehicle, and when he went to pick it up, he discovered that the garage was dipping into his pocket big time.  My friend doesn't know vehicles, so he just had to suck up their crap about muffler bearings, etc.  But he knew he was being taken.  While he was paying at the counter, he said, "Do you smell that?"  "What?"  "Your computer.  Get closer to it, and you can smell it."  "Wow, what's that mean?"  "It means the power supply has gone and the motherboard is about to fry."  "What should I do?"  "You ought to shut it off immediately and take it to a computer repair shop as soon as possible."  With that, the sales guy shut off the PC.

Somebody on eBay once offered a bottle of "Genuine" Lucas smoke for the repair of Lucas electrics. You repair them, then put the smoke back in!
