I take all my goods, ( oil, filters etc ) into the dealer and have them use my stuff.
1- I get quality stuff at internet prices
2- They can't use dealer mark-up on me
3- The record that hey did the work is worth it's weight in gold, I've been through an Auto Manufactures deposition , trust me I know.
4- The clean up alone is miserable doing it your self, even if you drip a little on the drive it's mother to clean up, also you have to clean up the " hose" from the nipple before you put it away, and just cleaning that is work.
Price, this will blow you away. With all my stuff brought in the dealer charges me $15.00 NOT A TYPO Fifteen dollars to do the work.
They take the $29.00 oil change subtract all their goods, 5 quarts of oil ( for cars) and 1 filter, and come up with just labor of $15.00
There is no way in the world for $15.00 I'm going to crawl under
a truck, fight with a stubborn filter, rack my knuckles, and take the time to clean up my mess for $15.00- my time is far more valuable than that.
And as far as the argument about morons, who don’t speak English doing the work on my truck, I have the dealer to blame on any screw ups, but when I do it, I can only blame myself.
